Movie was great as was this performance...If you haven't seen it yet, catch Gwyneth Paltrow's version of "Bette Davis Eyes" and watch how she pays attention to the rhythm of the beat with her opening wide eyes...GREAT STUFF!
this is a great movie. never heard of Paul Giamatti until I saw this. outstanding performance. this movie has an amazing reach. music, love interests, family reconciliation, married man's angst, a killer's search for redemption etc. an amazing ride packed into a coupkle hours. this should have made a huge splash in the theatres but I never heard of it til I saw it in a video store. been a Giamatti fan ever since. Watch him in the series as John Adams, 2nd US presideny. great performance
To all the questioners and doubters out there (I, too was one) apparently Paul (Giamatti) DOES INDEED sing his own parts although the other guy does not (I didn't even realize who Paul was until the awesome movie "Sideways")... (wikipedia -dot - org/wiki/Duets ). Watch and listen carefully and you can tell it really is him... pretty kewl!
the Braugher and Giamatti characters and their bizarre friendship almost salvage this movie by themselves. but I have to say, I love the song performances.
@POPJack1717 then you must be even more surprised if you knew that they did record it actually for movie....it's not live performance, but voices mach faces.
love this, and i love this movie, just finished watching it and already i want to see these songs again lol. the black guys voice is amazing, what a legend.
one of the best duets ever , yeah check out chris brown butcher this song, he sucks so bad i thougth i was at a funeral. i was otis redding was rolling over in his grave
I've heard all the versions of this Ottis Redding classic, but truth be said, Paul Giamatti & Arnold McCuller sing it better then anyone including Ottis Redding
@SumBum94 ... he doesn't even sing, his voice is done by a pro singer, only paul (on the left with earring and light blue shirt) is singing here. look at the advice at the end.
I love to sing karaoke, and I LOVE this particular version of the song. I have the album, it's on my mp3 player and so forth, but to sing it karaoke, nobody makes this exact instrumental arrangement with the same drums, horns, etc. Sound Choice and Chartbusters and Music Maestro make versions that are close, but just don't have the depth of sound that this recording has. Such a shame... my buddy Tyler and I want to do this.
the film would have been much better if it was just about these two characters, they're the best in it. if only we'd gotten to see more of them and not bothered with those other weak story lines.
paul giamatti's performance is just amazing and far better than the film (overall) deserves. amazing scene.
I must say that i stumbled upon this video and was automatically selected as one of my alltime favourites. By far the best version of this song I have heard and both artists compliments each other perfectly. I would love to be able to find this song but as it was made for the movies, I suspect I can just keep repeating this on video. Shame.
OMG !!! I saw this moovie a long time ago!.. AND I LOVED it !!!!! Absolutly FANTASTIC !!!!! JUST AMAZING !!! Yeahh!!!!!!I "It's not, just setimental, no no no no noo !!! LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!! TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS!!
Thanks for posting this song....I listen to it at least once a week. I don't care how bad a mood I'm in - I always feel 10 times better after this tune.
@Junkglass - The movie is called "Duets." It has Gwyneth Paltrow, Huey Lewis, Paul Giamatti, Andre Braugher...it had it's moments...the sining was probably the best part of the movie.
Paul Giamatti was a genius in this film as the mid-life crisis man desperate to find some justification for his life. That personality made this song great. This film deserved a lot more respect than it got.
Managed Howard Stern at WNBC, sang soul music with a brother in Texas, and drank wine with Virginia Madsen in Santa Barbara... Just a few of many wonderful things you can do with a membership in Skull and Bones! Looks like I went to the wrong Ivy League school...
they sing with such great soul !!!
