You've got a friend - Cover version

[littlerayblue]

Great job.

I could see you doing Clapton's - wonderful tonight.

[jeffstunes]

@littlerayblue

Thank you. That is a song I have sung before, but I haven't uploaded to youtube. However I did upload another Clapton song called "Tears in heaven".

[LittleLassieK9]

Wow, I just love this cover. I won't listen to any other version now. :) It really helps me get through my day! Thanks so much, Jeff!

[jeffstunes]

@LittleLassieK9

I must of missed this comment. I'm glad you liked it that much, and I hope you still do :)

[raffaport]

Really good - and that guitar-playing has come on since five minutes ago (hee hee)

Kind regards and 5 stars.

[jeffstunes]

@raffaport

I have to admit that this is a backing track. My guitar has improved

over time, but not that much. Lol :)

[a25music]

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[LittleLassieK9]

I don't know what's up with all these rude comments, but I just want to let you know that you have a WONDERFUL voice. This song is beautiful when you sing it. :) I love it!!

I also really love your "Swallowed in the Sea" cover.

[jeffstunes]

I wish you a lovely week ahead and congratulations on this Video's success though I am not surprise.

Your FRIEND and His autumnrain, becca @-->------

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Becca :)

Funnily enough, I was lining up a Neil Diamond song for my next upload, when I heard another song I wanted to do. I did a one shot record and it came out well, so I'm not sure if that one will be next. It's an excellent song called "Use somebody" by "Kings of leon" :)

[HuggableAngel]

beautiful song jeff

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Terri :)

[irishguy7218]

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[Lisa072167]

Great cover Jeff!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[Vadderson]

Great song...really liked the back up on it!!

I'm a dummy...what does "cover" mean??

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. Cover is a bit like a copy in some sense, but with someone else other than the original artists performing it.

[chickiesgrettagirl]

nice as always:)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[faffytunes]

Beautiful version

This song reminds me of toy story

Cartoon me and the kids

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. I think I know the song in Toy Story that you mean. It's called "You've got a friend in me". Very similar title :)

[faffytunes]

Oh yes sorry I got the songs mixed up

Both great tunes

[draggt03]

glad ur finally back i love ur stuff

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

I've been around. I just haven't been making many videos because life is keeping me busy :)

[wolfwoman32000]

Very well done,Jeff, thanks for sharing. Keep them coming. Always good to hear your singing. Take care, Mary

I found this one quite easy to do, as it was right in the middle of my range :)

Hi Jeff

I've just got in from school and mum asked me to listen to this, It's great! How is Heartless?

Love you! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxx

Me too! How lovely it is to glimpse our beautiful Moonchild, tripping through the corridors of YouTube like an emotive feather duster, magically flicking love dust all over the comments. I dearly look forward to hearing from you both soon!

Mum x

What an emotionally, expressive rendition this is!

[jeffstunes]

I do plan some more videos, but they are not going to be as frequent as they were when I started all this. I'm neglecting life a little bit and I need to pay it some attention :)

[ripper778]

Excellent vocal cover. Thanks for sharing Cherri.

[yadski88]

Hi Jeff. Thanks a lot for uploading this most favorite song. Well done, Jeff. Awesome cover and good voice. Are you from Britain, Jeff? Nice. Too far from Canada and yet too near through this youtube. Keep posting friend.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. Yes I am from Britain. England to be more precise. All the best to canada. I know a few talented musicians from there :)

[videogirl126]

Wow, Jeff, great cover; I love this song and you did a wonderful job on it.

Well Jeff, this was beautiful. Its not really my kind of music but from 3.08 to 3.20 you sold it to me with pure expression. This is a great rendition! *****

Lots of love and big, hugs to the Moonchild and Sir! They are often in my thoughts. Mum x

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. It's good to get comments from those that recognise expression and feeling in vocals. I love to express in my singing. To live the words in a song, and I do believe it makes a difference to the ear too :)

[nameofthepen]

This was great! I don't have to search for something nice to say. It was captivating.

Love your voice. And really liked the bass line, too. 5*s

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[chitchatt2006]

Wonderfully heartfelt and warm. Really nice cover, Jeff. Graphically, my favorite parts were where you had the cam on you singing - and you must have pulled the saturation out to make it look black-n-white-ish or sort of sepia toned. The contrast was pumped up just enough to make it like an old photo. Blended nicely with the feel of this song, I think. Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing another song with us. :D -Lynn

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Lynn. Yes that was a sepia effect on the singing parts. The out of focus was not an effect. I locked the camera out of focus so that I could have some singing with vague visuals, and some with sharp.

[likko16]

Great Song! Nicely Done! Exellent! 10*

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much :)

[Bflatblues55]

This is so very lovely.

You made me believe it.

That's an awesome skill for a singer to pull off ... wow.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

I always like to live the songs I sing. Not only do I think it comes across better, but it's more enjoyable for me to sing it too. Much richer in experience. It's good to see comments from those that recognise expression in a song :)

[weeyin1155]

What an amazing cover! Thank you to Annet for sharing! Glowing stars and hugs..Jan and Susan. x

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Jan and Susan. You are one of many of Annet's friends who have come over and complimented me. I love to sing, and feel even better that others can get some enjoyment out of what I do :)

[HolsteadProductions]

Amazing. You hit every note and your voice is just beautiful. The guitar goes very well with your voice aswell. So overall well done *****

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[Maysey1]

Beautiful cover of this song. I really enjoyed this. A special thanks to CherrisVids for sharing. Is it OK to cover songs like this using this method vs your own complete take, or can they still cancel your channel for copyright infringement? I'd love to do some covers, but worried about losing my site.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much :)

I've done a lot of cover videos on youtube. I generally look to see if others had done covers of the same song. Youtube will remove a video if the copyright owner complains, or put an ad on the page to give them some revenue. It's an unspoken thing, but people doing free covers of songs is good publicity for the originals. Although it can't be stated because of issues with royalties. It all gets a bit complicated.

[justherewatching]

video no longer available. peace mary

[jeffstunes]

I don't know why that came up. It seems ok from this end.

[IMTheMagicRat]

i've been told by several people in no uncertain terms that I HAVE to watch this video. and they were right! killer vid! *****! thanks to cherri for the share.

[master1379]

nice

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[SoulOfautumnrain]

Well well well... :: left breathless:: I loved this Video and how it was made, not to mention James Taylor is like one of my most favorite childhood memory as a singer song writer. Truth is I believe it was his concert that was one of the last I saw a few years back... Billy Joel being the lastest. Anyhow, good to see your beautiful smile, face, eyes and hear that angelic Voice I have missed to much. Many things are going on in my life here in New York...

[SoulOfautumnrain]

But for now I will leave you with this thought... you made have many " friends" in your life... but a person like Jeff walks Once in a lifetime in your life. Thank you for walking into mine. Please tell your Mum I am so sorry the email has not yet been sent. " Sir H" needs to reconfigure our images to be sent. I hear my song though wrote your Mum. I will write her today Promise and fill you both in. Know you too have a friend in me. Love you Jeff...

His autumnrain, becca @-->----- ::skips off::

[jeffstunes]

I'll probably be giving her a call today so I'll pass on the message. I'm sure she would like to know that I've uploaded something new. The video was just me playing with some techniques. I'm hoping to start getting some good stuff done with a friend and his HD cam at some point in the future. You both keep well. I'm sure we will speak in the near future :)

[Therapist1972]

this song is so sweet and always makes me think about how I think of my friends and how i would always be there for them. thanks to cherri for the share. 5 stars.
