@darkallegiance666 Thank you very much , I am only a karaoke singer I,m afraid,,thats why you dont know me haha ,, this has allways been one of my favourite songs too ,,I absolutely love it ! Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment ,,, John
@Athabina Thanks very much, in my opinion its the only way to sing this song , Hurricane was the king at this ,,,thanks for taking time to listen and comment ,,,John
Well, it takes guts to sing one of the most beautiful songs EVER!! Cass tried, and it's reggae too! I think Hurricane would be happy regardless..this is terrific! Good job!
@pecheleleaw Thank you very much , great song it most certainly is and a joy to sing. Glad you and many others think I do a good job , Thanks for listening and taking time to give me a wonderful compliment ,, John
@wilkevwilkev Cheers mate. I like that song myself but i dont have it on karoke, it took me ages to find this , also like who was it by Hurricane , but cant get that either, still , I,m happy I found this , John
Thanks very much , yes it,s me singing the song , and personally I think if anyone including myself tries to sing this song a bit different from hurricane,s way then it would not have the same impact , so I tend to try to keep all my efforts as close as i am capable of to the original, I,ve sang this song since I was 14 , LOVE IT !John
Thank you very much , I can,t ask for much better than that eh ? hahaha , much appreciated , just to think somebody gave me 1 star for it too , it,s a hard life ! Thanks for listening , John
Wonderful rendition of a hard-to-mimic song, John. And you sound remakably like H.S. Hurricane would be very proud to hear your version. Thank you for the listen!
Thank you very much. hahaha. Great to think I make a good enough version for you to think it was the man himself ! Thanks for listening and welcome back anytime. John
Hahaha , I,ve sent you a message on your page requesting your address and it,s as good as yours .Send me private message and I,ll get them off to you free of charge. Thanks for your interest, John
Hahahaha. Yes all my songs on here were recorded on a karaoke machine in the living room , never thinking they would end up on here. My son put them on and I,ve been on nearly every day since . lol . I have a few cds yes , amateur recordings but this is one of them but it,s not too bad eh? I,D be more than happy to give you some if you want them . I,ll even pay the postage ! lol
Thank you very much ! But I don,t think it,s in the same league as the great mans version , very glad though you think it,s a good effort cos I absolutely love this song.Thanks for taking time to comment and welcome back anytime , John
bien logrado ,pero el mejor lejos como decimos en la argentina, mi pais .fue el gran NORMAN ( NO MUY RECONOCIDO EN SU PROPIA PATRIA) .abrazo argentino estimado john
What an excellent version of this lovely song. It has been one of my favourites since it came out in 1972. I think I even once heard a version by Liza Minelli! Well done and thanks for sharing it. It cheered me up no end!!!
Cheers for that mate ! Yes nobody will ever sing that song as good as Hurricane , but I,m pleased people think I make a fair effort. Thanks for listening , and taking time to comment , John
Thank you ! No it,s certainly not Hurricane, but it,s as good as I,m ever going to get. There will never be a cover that matches the original. Thanks for listening and taking time to comment, John
Thanks Suzy , good to hear from you again . I,ve been getting depressed looking for your comments and stars but here your back again to perk me up ! Thanks for all your wonderful comments over the last few months Suzy, and hope you are well. John xxx
Thanks very much ! I,m just glad that people think I do it a bit justice .Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment , and yes R.I.P. Hurricane and thanks for a great song, John
I didn,t even know there was a French version,and it may well be better than mine,s , but there,s no chance it,s better than Hurricane Smiths masterpiece eh? Thanks for listening though , John
Well I will explain you why I like mieu the French version. It is my uncle who sang it, in the Seventies. It thanks to this song that it became of singer. I board nothing against you, I swear it to you, but it is nevertheless my uncle who sings the French version
Well then Sir, I totally understand ,and you should be very proud because I had a listen to it and he,s very good.One thing for sure he picked a great song to sing.Thanks for taking the time to reply , and hope to hear from you again . John
thanks john this was a blast from the past. sort of a trip down amnesia lane. i was born in 1962. so as a small boy in toledo,ohio my mom would listen to the radio(one of those that sat on the table with the big round dial with a clothe speaker grille) as we got ready for school and it would play this song.. what a sweet memory.. man do i miss those simple days.
Yeah ,it,s one of those songs that without you tube and places like it ,you could wait for years without hearing it eh? I was born in 59 and even at 13 I thought this was brilliant .I tried for a couple of years to get it on karaoke , and must have sung it 20 times the first day I got it .Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment ,much appreciated , John
Wow, I was really blown away by your performance. When I clicked on this video I thought at first I was listening to the original singer. I remember this song back in the 70s. Thank you John for doing such a splendid rendition to this fabulous song, and sharing it with us all.
Thank you very much ! It,s great to see so many people remembering this great song and it,s my pleasure to share my version with you all .Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. John
For an avid (social) dancer, such as myself, this song makes for a sensational foxtrot. The tempo is rapid, so it takes some ability to navigate the dance floor without colliding with someone. Usually I hear it in the Hurricane Smith version, but yours is very good, and because the two of you both (in his case, had) a raspy voice, I thought you were the same singer. Anyway, you've done a very nice piece of work. Thanks and congradulations!
I remember this song when it first came out in 1972 I was either 11 or 12 and have always loved it I remember selling soda pop bottles to get enuff money to buy the 45 and as a matter of fact I still have it wow that was 37yrs ago and it still sounds good you did some good justice to this song I thought Norman "Hurricane" Smith would be the only one that could but hats off to you John you did a great job
Thanks very much for that. I absolutely love this song and was delighted when I got it on karaoke ,as soon as I sang it I thought I,m going to record this, these are just very amateur recordings from my t v in my living room and I can sing it much better than this but over all it,s not bad eh ? Thanks again and welcome back anytime. John.
thanks for this version when i was a dj at brfm i would regulalry play cass elliots version ,sadly my listeners never had a chance to listen to this equally splendid version.thanks johnmccash
Thanks very much for your comments. It,s amazing to see how many people remember how good this song really was and is. I,m pleased to hear you think it good enough to play for your listeners . That,s made my day, Thank you. John.
you deserve an international break johnmccash, cause your good! there are thousands who needs to be discovered, and you did justice to this beautiful song!
Nothing a matter with that I used to do it myself with guitar bits from sultans of swing and Hotel Calirfonia.Great sax tho eh ? Thanks for listening. John
Yeah it gets better the more you hear it Suzy lol . I love singing this song, I remember when it first came out, loved it then and still do.Thanks John xx
Very nice! I have great memories of when I first heard Hurricane Smiths version in early 1973, and felt an aura of deja vu when I came across this wonderful version, great job. Bravo!
I have recorded these songs in the living room off my television and some of them have surprisingly turned out not bad.You are most welcome Dolly to the ones I have on cd,s (which is about 8 cd,s) free if you want them.I,m sure there,s a place I can send them and you can listen till your heart,s content lol.I Sing Matt Munro etc. noticed you like him. Thanks Dolly , John xx
