Hootie and the Blowfish? Really? Who the hell thought that was a good idea, bozo the clown?
Saw H & the B, in Melbourne,Australia,in the late 90's. Was sooo looking forward to seeing them,but unfortunately, was one of THE most BORING concerts,i've ever attended. Musically...fantastic, but they basically stood there like mannequins & played. Loved the songs, but i felt at times, I wanted a roadie to come out & prick them with a pin,so they'd move. But that aside, their music is still superb. Hold my Hand, Let her Cry & Goodbye are still my favourite songs,of theirs. NEVER get sick of em
DONT LET ME CRY OVER THE LOSS OF THE ONE WOMAN I THOUGHT I COULD EVER SPEND LIFE WITH AGAIN, KITTY..I STILL CRY AND GO NUTS BUT I HAVE TO GET OVER IT AND FIND THE PERFECT GAL.. AND ITS JUST RIGHT IN MY PAWS,...X0...RUFF...
REX..HELP ME BUDDY...I KNOW U ARE THERE AT MY SIDE AND HELPING ME OUT...SO KICK MY ASS AND LET ME FIND HER..X0X0X...love u buddy ...ruff to you...rest in peace..and take care of pops , too..

@whiteej21 I like a lot of the stuff from the 50s-90s. I know what you're saying but all this autotune dance/fake rap garbage just irritates me as does the fact that no one cares about content as long as there's a "beat." You have to dig deep to find good music these days whereas when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s it was mainstream.
Another 90's classic! Spiceyboner is right. For those of you who were too young (or living on mars) for 90's music, watch: nirvana, bush, smashing pumpkins, live, soundgarden, radiohead, pearl jam, stone temple pilots, alice in chains, blind melon, better than ezra, spin doctors, screaming trees, red hot chili peppers, candlebox, googoo dolls, and so many more i can't think of right now
You know an artist is talented when you can close your eyes during a live performance and think you are listening to the CD...people who didnt live in the 90s dont know what they missed
Singers actually knew how to sing back then. I hate whoever invented auto-tune. All we have today are talentless douchebags who dress like their from outer-fucking-space.
@HecklerBoy7 exactly!! bands in the 90's got big/well known because they had pure TALENT. Not because they looked good(generally), or anything like that. I really talent behind bands. Singer/songwriter acoustic stuff still does it for me now though... at least there are some talented people still, just not solo artists and not bands.
@TheHighTechLowLife I definitely generally agree with this. I do however still enjoy singer/songwriter acoustic music, some of the new rock bands(nothing like they were in the 90's though)... 90's music will always be the best to me :/
@TheHighTechLowLife I agree and say the same for the 80's as well. Even though I did not hit my teens until the 90's, music was as powerful to em in my youth as well. And I totally agree that the music now is just not the same anything.
Saw these guys 2x in 1995. The first was in a club in Dallas when they were just getting famous - this single had just come out, and they were awesome. A great bar band.
Later that summer, they were one of the biggest bands in the country, and I saw them at Starplex in Dallas with about 15,000 people. They are not an arena band. One of the worst concerts I have seen, mostly due to the crappy crowd who slept on the whole show.
America lets me down in so many ways with talking about races, sports, war, and on and on and on. I bet if he were white and stevie were white, the race card would have never come up. Good job america.
more people are impressed by his skill by the color of his skin. which in no way represents anything about the song, or his musical style. people are people.
Wot can i say... this song just blows my mind away....Hootie's hold my hand was my wedding first song, this one is just ............awesome, it plucks heart strings i didn't know i had. And to hear the great black vocal sing rock.......not taking anything away from rap and gospel........that guy is amazing......love this group.
@JulianAlistair haha i was watching this thinking "i know that guy from somewhere??" and you just answered my question. its definitely Ted from scrubs hahah
@94donnacone...Darius Rucker is all over country radio. He has been for the past 2 years. He has a new album out...and his stuff is basically Hootie with a pedal steele guitar.
@Chubzdoomer Stevie Wonder didn't write this. Darius did. It's a gender reversal role. A song about his girlfriend. How on earth did you think Stevie Wonder wrote this???
I can't believe that I didn't set my VCR to capture this in '95. "Cracked Rear View" is one of the best albums of the '90's IMHO. Love Paul Schaffer (sp?) gettin' down on the 'keys. This is beyond classic, thank you for sharing it.
I love this song, actually more than I can explain. It speaks to my soul. I missed them as a band, an I wish they would get back together to do a few shows, I'd fly ne where to watch them play again. Lol Darin has done quite well for himself in country music. I don't know what the other members of hootie are doing but I'm sure they're doing well because they are so talented. Thanks for up loading this video!!!
I'll never get bored to the song even i repeatedly listen to it over and over again. It feels like it cleanses my soul through my ears. Smile ^_^ if only it was always the years of the 90's i prefer it to be, i don't like the music now adays!
Nowadays when he plays this song he adds a lot more to it, I think it makes it better. It is very good right here but some other videos really show Darius' potential. He has really matured over the years

Seriously people who cares if he's black? There are so many black artists out there there now, its neither something to be proud of nor be offended by. It's a great song, and a great band, no matter what his race may be!
@cci110 Uhh it mean's exactly what I put, someones race is completely arbitrary really, so it's something that should be neutral which is why you should feel neither proud of nor be offended. It's not an accomplishment, your race, it's not a hook or hinderance (well at least it shouldn't be, which is the point I'm trying to make). Obviously. I thought I made myself perfectly clear the first time. Now who's the idiot.
@Saqortt Your an idiot . It is not the preserve of ANY one race to have a certain type of voice. The guy has a fabulous voice that is all that matters.
@Saqortt Ive loved this song for years and i prefer the Stevie Wonder original to be honest. And it doesnt change the fact that you dont have to be a certain colour to have a certain type of voice. Ive heard songs a thought it was a white guy and he was black and vice versa. Ive heard songs thought it was a woman and it was a man and vice versa. Its irrelevant though ITS ONLY THE MUSIC THAT COUNTS and if you LOVE IT who CARES who is singing it????????????
@toffi438 Darius Rucker said he wrote the song about one of his own past relationships, but swapped the gender roles - that in real life, he was the irresponsible one and his girlfriend was the long-suffering partner who tried to keep things together. This is the original.
@Jiggs46 ooops mixed messages here. Im talking about Lately by Stevie Wonder.
It was an answer to @Saqortt he told me to check out another version of Lately to back up his theory that only black guys have deep powerful voices. I dont give a rats ass about colour i was trying to get him to see that voices come in people of all colours shapes sizes sex sexual preferance and religion. If that makes sense.
@Saqortt James Earl Jones Barry White you can can give me a hundred examples of black guys with deep voices. It wont change my standpoint that it doesnt matter what race a person is all that counts is they blow you away with their music.
@Ajbadboy252...I have to disagree. I can't recall any songs where Vedder drops below F2 (except maybe for 1 or 2 notes during a phrase) but his high register is much more prevalent. He can roam beyond C5...but he tends to stay around A4 as his highest. All of these notes are the center for a Tenor voice...from F2 through A4.
@toffi438 Comon lads the truth is that class will out regardless of ethnicity. Best wishes to you all and stop being so precious and enjoy good music.
@wobbly585 Hey you dont need to tell me thats my standpoint if you read it all its the saquorrt guy banging on about race blah blah blah i could care less so log as the music is good
@BrisbaneBulldog80 Oh God here i go again that was just part of a whole conversation if you read on up the page. Your not the first and prob wont be the last to mssge about this AAAAArrrrrgh LOL
@toffi438 Stevie Wonder original??? What planet do you live on? This was a song written by Darius as a gender reversal role. It was about his girlfriend.
@ajd40 OH FOR GOD SAKE PEOPLE STOP READING ONE COMMENT ITS PART OF A WHOLE CONVERSATION I KNOW STEVIE WONDER DIDNT WRITE THIS SONG OOOOOOOKKKKAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! its an exchange i had with Saquort about 3million years ago and im so bored with this now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@toffi438 TO ANYONE READING THIS POST I KNOW STEVIE WONDER DIDNT WRITE THIS SONG. IM TAKLING ABOUT LATELEY BY S.W. THIS POST IS PART OF A WHOLE CONVERSTATION. AND IM BORED NOW WITH PEOPLE TELLING WHAT I ALREADY KNOW THANKYOU AND GOODNIGHT ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz
@TheHandsomeFalcon No your the MORON read the post above the one in BLOCK CAPITOLS STATING I KNOW STEVIE WONDER DIDNT WRITE THIS BLOODY SONG AAAAARRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@toffi438 At the risk of causing your head to explode in indignation, it's 'you're the moron,' not 'your the moron.' And it's 'capitals' not 'capitols.'
@TheHandsomeFalcon I am soooooo sick of people telling me what you YET again told me, even though i have posted in block capitals about it. I just fired that off and didn't really give a Hootie and the Blowfish about spelling or grammer. Naturally you couldn't just say ooops sorry like some of the others who have commented you had to pick fault. Bit full of youself it seems to me. Oh please don't mention it your so very welcome.
@toffi438 Okay maybe if i put a note here. I AM TALKING ABOUT LATELY BY STEVIE WONDER OOOOKKKKKAY!!!!!!!!!!!! AS PER CONVERSATION ABOVE AND BELOW THIS COMMENT MAINLY WITH @SAQORTT. i KNOW SW DIDNT WRITE 'LET HER CRY' Is that clear now are you all gonna find someone else to moan at for a legitimate reason????? PPPPLLLLLLEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@JihadGanjaFarmer . The guy has an awesome voice thats all that matters. And you are being bloody offensive 'dark skin man' black honey its an easy word.
Jesus when are we gonna get past peoples skin colour its 2010 for God sake.
this is the first cd single i ever purchased, think i was 11 years old at the time, no wonder! music was so fresh and raw back then ...90's had alot of great music on radio ..those days are gone ..

@cci110 Uhh it mean's exactly what I put, someones race is completely arbitrary really, so it's something that should be neutral which is why you should feel neither proud of nor be offended. It's not an accomplishment, your race, it's not a hook or hinderance (well at least it shouldn't be, which is the point I'm trying to make). Obviously. I thought I made myself perfectly clear the first time. Now who's the idiot.

Most of the songs of Hootie and the Blowfish touch me... and the singer sounds so southern.

@Saqortt Your an idiot . It is not the preserve of ANY one race to have a certain type of voice. The guy has a fabulous voice that is all that matters.

@toffi438 If you dont believe me write down (K-Ci&JoJo - Lately(live).
And listen to the second verse.
Saqortt 1 year ago
@Saqortt Ive loved this song for years and i prefer the Stevie Wonder original to be honest. And it doesnt change the fact that you dont have to be a certain colour to have a certain type of voice. Ive heard songs a thought it was a white guy and he was black and vice versa. Ive heard songs thought it was a woman and it was a man and vice versa. Its irrelevant though ITS ONLY THE MUSIC THAT COUNTS and if you LOVE IT who CARES who is singing it????????????

@toffi438 Darius Rucker said he wrote the song about one of his own past relationships, but swapped the gender roles - that in real life, he was the irresponsible one and his girlfriend was the long-suffering partner who tried to keep things together. This is the original.

@Jiggs46 ooops mixed messages here. Im talking about Lately by Stevie Wonder.
It was an answer to @Saqortt he told me to check out another version of Lately to back up his theory that only black guys have deep powerful voices. I dont give a rats ass about colour i was trying to get him to see that voices come in people of all colours shapes sizes sex sexual preferance and religion. If that makes sense.

@Saqortt James Earl Jones Barry White you can can give me a hundred examples of black guys with deep voices. It wont change my standpoint that it doesnt matter what race a person is all that counts is they blow you away with their music.

@Saqortt look up Hungerstrike by temple of the dog... Listen to Eddie Veder's golden baritone voice
Ajbadboy252 1 year ago
@Ajbadboy252....Vedder isn't a Baritone....he's a tenor. He's got the exact same vocal range as I do
riffism 1 year ago
@riffism Sorry but if that's the case then your a baritone as well. Eddie has a lower range than a tenor. Tenor's can sing way higher than Vedder
Ajbadboy252 1 year ago
@Ajbadboy252...I have to disagree. I can't recall any songs where Vedder drops below F2 (except maybe for 1 or 2 notes during a phrase) but his high register is much more prevalent. He can roam beyond C5...but he tends to stay around A4 as his highest. All of these notes are the center for a Tenor voice...from F2 through A4.

@TheHandsomeFalcon I am soooooo sick of people telling me what you YET again told me, even though i have posted in block capitals about it. I just fired that off and didn't really give a Hootie and the Blowfish about spelling or grammer.
