I have seen Sy sing this a few times with Chris and yes, this is the best version. I love this song, Kilson is awesome too, of course. Love Chris Botti!
OMG this Sy Smith is a black woman who isn't embarrassed to let her natural hair out.....!! Almost all black woman in the US are hiding their natural out-of-Africa look......just look at Oprah Winfrey and Tina Turner, they sure never turned back to their own black root look
OMG a black woman who isn't embarrassed to let her natural afro hair out.....!! Almost all black woman in the US are hiding their natural out-of-Africa look......just look at money can do for Oprah Winfrey ---a completely whitey hairdoo.
Chris I want to give you MAD UPS. You are very gracious in sharing your stage with artist that are your equal that we may not have heard of except through your stage. This is a very attractive and positive way to cast the light of your star. So let me personally thank you for my ray...Chris Botti a great musician and man.
Excellent piece of work!! Thank you very much for Sharing!!!!!
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!!! Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!!!!
i agree with you kamakamameleon. actually i have 2 dvds of Chris Botti's live performances and you will not get tired of watching over and over again. cheers !
i like this one better than diana krall's version because, it has that feeling of understanding that music is really supposed to make you feel good and it gets you in the mood, to get up and do something.
I love Sy Smith! I always thought of her as a neo-soul singer, so this is a revelation! Had no idea that Mark Whitfield is her cuz. Chris Botti's stock went way, way up with this, at least in my book . . . .
Sy Smith, approved by Michael Jackson only a few days before his demise. Even though this live performance started out a total mess, I like how it ended up. I wouldn't change a thing with it. They should do this again, even with the orchestra mistake and all. This performance is what got me interested in Sy.
You know why this piece was not included in the CD version? The Robert Hurst hit the wrong note when Sy started to sing the first stanza (3:44). Go figure :D
This is sooo damned good!! For some reason Chris seams to be able surround himself with only the best of musicians. Either in his band or on occasional duets (except for that Steven Tyler thing....). Sy Smith is amazing! The guitar and base player are fantastic. And the drummer is just tooo funky. WHO is that drummer, by the way?
MUCH better than the version with Paula Cole...much funkier,and Sy's voice meshs much better with the thick groove...Paula sounded too forced,although the backing on the Cole/Bacharach version smokes!
this is one of the best interpretations i have ever heard of a BB tune...Sy Smith has real chops and she is foxy as well...i wish her the best with her career!
Enjoyed this show in Rochester, but this number UNDOUBTEDLY was the highlight of the whole night. Incredible chemistry, soul and groove. In fact, if I had to choose only one song to watch for the next 5 yrs, this would definitely be on my short list! Simply tremendous!
