Frank McComb - Left Alone

[Crus072]

That solo seems very much inspired by 'Actual Proof', from Herbie Hancock.

[vawnalex]

I truly appreciate him writing this ...a hero unknown...thank you for posting

[scott32661]

Awesome!! Thank you for your direct comment.Now go and see him!

[scott32661]

Owe the American way of spelling. He played in London... Im French Bitch!!!!

[232218]

He is really good, why isn't he on the same platform with KEM and the others. He is a breast!!! i love it. My new Donnie Hathaway

[danity111]

Great music!!!! Makes me all warm & fuzzy on the inside....SO mad at "osume" in the comments below me....REALLY? WOW

[scott32661]

Great singer !!!

[scott32661]

Amazing singer! The drummer was osume. The band was great.

[jeffersonchick]

how can 4 people dislike this guy. i guess they dont know nothing about real music and real singers. they got to be trey songz fans lol

[ponchambrosio]

that's a lot of effects there...

[SuperCourtside]

I wrote a large piece of my play listening to this tune...wow! and thank you soooo much for your gift

[mngqushu]

I wish youtube could remove this dislike option to some vids..

[onyxesq1964]

I simply love this. He moves me.

[ramuckel]

that's HiP

[vennootje]

Iemand die weet hoe de drummer heette van zijn band op 8 april 2011 in Heidegger Rotterdam? Wat een gigant.

[13karinalino]

TOCA quase nada o garoto...#ShoW

[hahabass]

Who played bass on this gig? Anyone?

[tomac14]

@hahabass

Tres Gilbert. He produced the live CD and DVD.

[soclassychic]

Great job! We need more artists like this in the industry. Beautiful.

[LBizzyK]

that's so very true Frank..............the track is so relevant.

[Dyamanti22]

Wow, i love this. I do i do i doooeehhhh. What a voice he has, give me chills all over. Who is this, and why i have not heard of this guy yet?

[broomyUK]

Just awesome, real real real music.

[1980Antje]

German website now online: frankmccomb.de!

[mjones2633]

That is so true , so so true , he should have oprah money... this man is who I study ......Music true music lives in him ........and me too!

Moni Jones

[JokeyJay123]

Frank is totally awesome. The music business is definitely warped, as it celebrates image more than music. I don't know of any of the overated 'artists' who can sing like Frank.

I don't know of any words to describe how I feel when hear this man sing....

[smoothJAZZCRUSADER]

♫ simply amazing!

[desire19800124]

king!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[muse718]

Hott!!!!

[cbmuzik]

If ANYONE says this dude is not a str8 beast, then SHAME ON YOU!!!! Frank killed it!

[victornewman06]

That's what I'm talking about!!!!

[yoreg2003]

This man is BAAADDD. I never heard of him until last year while wondering around downtown Oakland last year and he was playin this club there. He blew us away. It's too bad the punk radio stations refuse to play his music. I swear this guy is the best thing out there. I got a chance to meet him also. Wonderful person. Truly blessed!!

[lge52569]

The legacy of Donny Hathaway lives on. I heard that when Lalah heard him sing for the first time, she sat in the audience crying.

[e1026653]

the best. his own

[erniesemu]

Stevie Hathaway,yea right on with that

[tbutterfly85]

wow I'm blowed away he is very talented

[texasrespect]

You better plaay!!

[33Kellymc]

I so love this guy!!!!!!!

[QBNYC525]

Frank is the absolute BEST male artist out there today!! It's too bad that he hasn't had the commercial success that he so rightly deserves!! *Sigh* But the brother can sing/play/compose/etc. You haven't seen ANYTHING until you've seen him 'LIVE'!!! One Word: SCINTILLATING!!! Donny Wonder Benson McComb!!! Lol

[bluephidre]

@QBNYC525 You said it so nicely. This artist gets no publicity, but is probably the most talented artist on the scene today.

[QBNYC525]

@bluephidre ....It's always nice to bump into to someone else that knows who Frank is and appreciates his artistry! Have you heard all of his earlier work, as well?

[bluephidre]

@QBNYC525 Yes, I know of his earlier work with Wynton Marsalis with Buckshot LeFonque on up to now. I play Frank's music around my friends and they want to know who he is and where he has been hiding. I just he can hook up with Kem or other similar artist to open for them. He needs to be out there. This brother is one of the most talented artist on the scene and no one knows about him. What a shame!! By the way, he does a great version of Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior mostly acapella.

[FoYoSoull]

i hear Donny when I listen to Frank. And some stevie too. SUch a humble honest under rated artist. One of the best male vocalist out there today

[isa6781]

OMG...i always refer to his voice as a mix of Stevie and Donny!!! He's a blessing!!!!!!! Love this man so much!

[musclenigga09]

wow such sexy music...and I had never heard of this guy before

[eddiecopelyn]

Damn!!!!!

[missdeega]

I love Frank !!!!!!!! it's amazing , what he does!

[Generalterz]

donny mccomb? :D

[biffstudd]

To me his voice sounds like a mix of Donny & Terrance Trent Darby.

[ricmen1890]

I didnt know DeeRay could sing...lol. JK JK, Gotta love Frank McComb

[brettorrmusic]

Thank God that news of this man finally reached my ears.

[phonzeito]

I agree with Rizpektable

[klastiaan]

yeah his timbre is almost 100% Donnie Hathaway :)

[alcoholharmony]

Donny... is that You?

[voiceindawild]

sounds like him dont it?

[futboler454]

Haha, he said "I love Atlanta... that's alright..."

[rey1953]

If you think this guy channels Donny Hathaway, check out Nigel Hall, brother from Portland, ME. Has his own group but also sings with Lettuce, Soulive and Chapter 2.

[JOE9791JOE]

cazzo che voce!!!!! amo il neo-soul!!!!!!!!

[NetMoDM]

The closest thing to Donnie Hathaway you could ever imagine!! Rick Watford is my boy playing guitar. Talk about underrated??!!! Incredibly underrated!!

[Morianii]

Awaisome performance!!

[Rizpektable]

this cat is "sooooooooo underrated" that it's almost a crime...Frank Mccomb is one of the best singers that black radio somehow fails to play...hidden talent

[alexsoul06]

I Love Him

[MJLUV4LYF]

I know him... great guy.. lovely personality as well as talent!!

[KeysBeMe]

3 words...Off - The - Chain!

[rlpx4]

[M5540]

Thank you for the post, what a joy!! He's extremely talented....OMG!!!! His band is tough too! BRAVO!!!

[jeff2sabbag]

This guy is my hero !!!!!!!!

[realsoul80]

[mastertung7]

[solicious1]

@ricmen1890, i said it as soon as i saw his face lol

[blessedchic73]

I have fallen in love for the 1st time in my life!!!! I now know for sure that there is a God., and he is missing an angel...Thanks Frank Great music!!!

[M5540]

Amen!

[BradSD25]

He's a maniac on the keys - check out his "This Christmas". I sill listen to it daily and it's spring lol

[vkeyz]

I was there!! great show..unbelievable vocals and keyz!! great band as well..animal on drums and tre sick on bass!

[FlowJazz]

I would like to say that man is a mix of Stevie and Donny Hathaway in one...but the fact is Franck McComb is CLASSIC in his own way ! I love this man.

[wandachan]

I'm totally going to buy all of his albums.

[tgaither]

I KNEW he was amazing, but WOW

[BorrieBeats]

i heard his real name is Stevie Hathaway

[MicJones]

@BorrieBeats Obviously his two biggest musical influences.

[MicJones]

@BorrieBeats Throw George Benson in. I suspect he's also an influence.

[MrCourgab]

@BorrieBeats

[rtoriq]

@BorrieBeats lol!!! damn right

[JColeM7785]

@BorrieBeats lol

[MicJones]

@BorrieBeats Stevie George Benson Hathaway that is...



[basicblack]

amazing

[Stressed2Capacity]

I just discovered him a few hours ago and this man is nothing short of AMAZING! I cannot stop watching his videos...probably because real talent is so rare these days...

[bcha85]

I adore him / and he reminds me of Stevie Wonder)

[Cos8712]

I was thinking Donny Hathaway.

[bcha85]

Both of them )))

[manuelergcruz]

...plus the keyboard skills of Herbie Hancock

[ricmen1890]

And looks like comedian Dee-ray

[legphd]

My goodness! His voice is as smooth as silk. I was listening to Marilyn Scott's remake of "You don't know what love is" and fell in love with the man who sang with her...I finally found out that the genius is Frank McComb. After listening to this I see that he is yet another talented artist who's been overlooked. This is a shame! This man is uber talented!!!!! This is who we need to support--whew! That jam session made me lose track of what I was saying. OUTSTANDING!!!!

[bluephidre]

@legphd It is funny. This is how I found out about Frank McComb the same way listening to the Marilyn Scott song. Phenom talent is this man. My God continue to bless this man and allow his talent to be displayed more.

[fjohnson02]

I have to agree with the last person who stumbled across this artist. I was in search for Donny Hathaway music. To my surprise, I came across this very talented and gifted singer. To my amazement, he really has alot of Hathaways influence in his voice and a little Stevie Wonder. How long has his music been around. I've never heard him on the radio. Wonderful chord progressions in his playing. Now this a real artist who needs to be recognize as an original songwriter.

[SuckAmother13]

My second name is McComb, and I came across this trying to see if there was any McComb's out there getting some stuff done. None relative as im a white Scotsman xD. But frank is yet another black man doing some real good music! Thank god my name is McComb or else I wouldnt have came across such excellent music!

[loopyman76]

I'm sorry, but this guy makes John Legend look like Mickey Mouse. He's an absolutely amazing artist.

[hahabass]

A bit strong, but I feel where you're coming from. My favourite artist of his genre - one of my favourites of any musical style.  Keep looping, Loopyman.

[loopyman76]

This man is awesome, and this is one of my favorite songs by him. Now THIS is REAL music!

[jhp20747]

Great Music! Great Vid!

I look forward to featuring you Frank on 'Fast Focus' TV.

Blessings like a River,

Jonathan

[PurpleResey]

hey kyle! : )

[theoedot]

Daymm i mean i cant get passed the first verse.. the lyrics and instrumentation re killing me

[theoedot]

dayymm. i came up to him by mistake and im glad i did. shizzle the dude is the TRUFFFF

[HammondB200]

What effects is he using? ( I identified the Dunlop TS-1, Boss Super Chorus, and Boss Equalizer)

[elderdiddy]

how can i find this guy i want to book him in detroit

[panter1975]

I love his music

[SuckAmother13]

Beautiful. That's the comment Franks music deserve's.

[cbmuzik]

but you know what? he is just vibing Stevie Wonder and so HIS style is born. It's not original but he is bringing back what was lost about music....soul! Throw in that mix Eric Roberson, Dwele, Bilal...the list goes on with Neo-Soul artist. Long live REAL music!

[videoeditors]

I wouldn't say he sounds original, but couldn't deny that Frank's got huge talent, great voice & feel.

[hahabass]

I'd say, there is a temptation to think of McComb as unoriginal or samey, but what marks him from the rest is the package of voice and music together. For me there is no one who uses chord changes with interesting edgy vocal melody like him. I don't know if you know music from a technical point-of-view, but McComb is a giant from an all round musical point-of-view. He is not just a vocalist... Sorry, I'm a bit passionate about this dude's music.

[klastiaan]

Like you said.

I'm a huge McComb lover too :)

[zoukk8]

you rock guys!

[donch03]

My absolutle favourite singer at the mo alongside Glenn Lewis who's very similar to Stevie just like Frank sounds so much like donny .... U gots 2check him out!!!

[eboknows10]

sick as fuck ... randomly came up on this dude ... man i gotta go buy cd or sumetin shit !!!

[artistkimari]

wow! very good! i'm favorite singer.

frank, come in korea!!!!

[artistkimari]

wow! very good! i'm favorite singer.

frank, come in korea!!!!

[evan86muz]

..he's my second favorite singer ..after stevie of course :)

[rabmusic]

He is using guitar effects pedals in his setup: Tremelo, Boss Super Chorus, Boss Equalizer, there also appears to be a flanger, and I can't quite make out the others. There is a quick camera shot of them on top of his Rhodes, at 1:58

[perusoul]

new favourite song!...this one and the one he rocks with dwele...this brotha is nasty wit it!....why cant we as the listening audience DEMAND air play on top 40 radio for such artsits like this!?...instead the industry claims T.Pain and Omarion R&B/soul! my nieces and nephew need to able to have the option to hear Mr.Mccomb just as much as that other water'd down cookie cutter stuff(tho some is kinda dope)thats FORCE FED to them on BET and MTV...

[TMicah]

This brotha has mad vocals. I am still rehearsing his flow in my mind from his various CD's.

[groovness]

The band is:

Tre Gilbert - Bass

Rick Watford - Guitar

Joey Williams - Drums

Percussion ???

Additional Keys ???

Those guys rock!

[Underdog58]

Raul Midon also sounds similar to Donnie Hathaway

[luvwriting1]

Peace...Ahhh we must acknowledge Donnie as well as this brother Frank has the redolence of no other than the original genius Stevie Wonder..I believe that is why I gravitate to the both of them..The instruments used as well as the throaty soulful vocals...I thought Frank was brand new..lol.. Guess not..I saw him on B.E.T Jazz singing this I believe it was this video..I'm loving it!!!!!

Peace

[veewee]

Frank is too similar to Donny...and that's why I love him.

[Jaycee37]

Does anybody know the band members names?

[sanchovilla]

PLEASE!! Does anybody know Frank's pedal setup on his Rhodes?? I need to know!! And how in the world could this dude have stayed under the radar for so long??? Amazing!!!

[elegba]

sing frank

sing brotha!!!!!

[phonzeito]

Man Frank is cold

[rickraustin]

Dude, this music is sooo crucial and full of soul application, Frank! Don't ever even consider stopping way too tight!!

[lknoef]

Yep, me too! Thanks CJNahuway for the tip!

[CJNahuway]

yes,gonna see Frank in Amsterdam(31-10-2007),I can't wait.

[tayestarr]

YES... DONNY LIVES through FRANK!!! One life & legacy cut short, but one left to complete what he left!

[jadapooh]

I agree...Frank sings and plays with the spirit of Donny but still very original.

[musiqnatik]

He has a wonderful voice and the music is great, BUT when I started listening to this video I went to another window and thought I was listening to Donnie Hathaway. I will try another video, maybe its just on this song, this is my first time hearing Frank....

[chach94]

Soooo good !!!! I'm a fan. Thanks for this great music and please Frank, come in France !

[sem2222]

A Living legend!!!!!!!!!

[Bassick991]

YES!!!! Real Music! Also check out Eric Roberson.

[canadub1]

Ahh man that's good stuff Frank :)

[natte85]
