  • I don't know how many times I've watched this, and it is mesmerizing every time...

  • she was singing this to blake.

  • She should have left this well alone. There's only one version of this and it's Donny Hathaway's!

  • @10dutch Disagree. While I think Hathaway's version of 'A Song For You' is better than Amy's, I definitely think she absolutely smashed this one and topped his version. Not that we should be comparing anyway.

  • @Alexdurrant7 It's fine that you disagree. However I've endured another listen to her so called version and to be perfectly honest she's utter garbage! I can't see what all the fuss is over her she's nothing more than a karaoke singer. Stating that she does anything better than Donny Hathaway is nothing short of insulting. Whinehouse (Aptly named!) would never have been in Hathaways league vocally if she'd have lived to be a 1000.

  • @10dutch But every single thing you just said can be turned around by somebody who doesn't share your taste in music. Let me give you an example: "I've endured another listen of Hathaway's so called version and to be perfectly honest he's utter garbage!" And again: "Hathaway's nothing more than a karaoke singer." See? You need to provide more than sheer assertion, or else you leave your comments open to being twisted into something against Hathaway, like I just did.

  • @10dutch Oh my goodness. Karaoke singer she is not. Karaoke singers add 'h's' in the middle of words. She is raw and real and cuts right to the core. She cuts like a knive and Donny Hathaway rolls the smooth all over the place. Different types of vocal production with similar results. Magnificent in my opinion!

  • i didnt like her singing this

  • @Yelixamonoxiclo.O :* ♫ ೋ¸.•*¨`*:

  • @Alexdurrant7 Listen, I'm not the one trying to compare anything. You were the one who brought up Aretha, Patti, & Mariah Carey. Not me. I was responding to someone else who said that there is not a black woman alive who could outsing Amy which is just utterly ridiculous. I absolutely disagree with you when you say that Aretha has no distinct vocal tone. That's just insane. And now the great Billie Holiday was a croaky artist with no vocal range? Wow! You definitely don't know music.

  • Comment removed

  • @Alexdurrant7 I wouldn't say that she had a tiny vocal range. No, she didn't do runs or anything. but she didn't have to. That wasn't her style. Billie had the distinct tone & the awesome ability to sing just behind or above the music and still come out on time which is hard to do if you're not a true singer. Her voice became weak in the end because of the drugs, but even then she still she knew how to sell a song and put it across. She was one of the greats if not the greatest PERIOD.

  • I thought she was nuts, but she was really somethin, wasn't she? Once in a generation.

  • :((( RIP amy , miss you more than you'll ever know

  • I love her more than she will NEVER know.

  • in wich year was this?

  • She was on point that night. I never got to see her live but if I had this would be the show that I would have wanted to see.

  • This just somehow makes it more painful - no one will ever be able to go and ask her: "Amy, can you please sing it again so that we could record it properly".

  • yezzirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr #1

  • For all the credit being given to Donny and Amy for how well they perform this song, the true credit goes to an American band fronted by Al Kooper (1968) called Blood, Sweat & Tears. Give it a listen before judging how well others can cover it.

  • *tear* wheres the rest of it!!

  • Why are people always comparing singers ? listen, when you have a unique talent in front of you: just enjoy the music to its fullest extent and beyond if you are so soulful ...... I love you Amy wherever you are

  • If there is an afterlife I hope Amy and Donny meet and sing together for eternity, and I hope if I get there too I can listen to them sing... RIP

  • I'm afraid, she was born already loaded with songs of previous generations.

  • My two favourite.  Donny Hathaway the best male artist..and Amy the best female, for me they had the most soul. It's incredible.!

  • Donny Hathaway did this song great justice. I like Amy's version as well, its not bad but I guess white soulful singers never sound as soulful as black singers. In life Amy did remind me of Janis Joplin but I guess I prefer Janis' sound... All round, she's not bad at all.

  • I heard Donny's version which he made famous I think Amy has more soul! Amy keep bringing new and old singers to me now I am a fan off Donny . I remember when Elvis died the love for the king is the same love that Amy is getting right now. No artist has touch me the way Elvis did except Amy I think Amy is the women version of Elvis that's what i think

  • Her cover does Donny's version proud... one of her greatest musical heroes and she is right up there with him in talent and genius. Hope they are making beautiful music in the heavenlies right now...

  • her voice is powerful i have NEVER heard a voice like this with so much soul

  • i really wish this was recorded and on her new album...

    in the future there will be more released amy material /hopefully/ and this better be one!

  • @BeccaHennessy YES!

  • @BeccaHennessy instead of this we'll hear A song for you...;)

  • @BeccaHennessy Well keep in mind that Lioness won't be released in Japan for about a year, and they usually tons of bonus tracks... we can only hope that this will be one of them!

  • Stellar spectacular! Amy had more soul!

  • Yes..what she says is true..for many of us. We love her more than she'd ever know.

  • her voice was one of a kind. amazing soul. Finally you can Rest. In. Peace

  • GO HEAD AMY! SING IT GIRL!!

  • che meraviglia!

  • OK. Al Kooper's BS&T version much better.

    

  • Blood, Sweat & Tears are much better in this song (1968)

  • She may have not gone to Rehab,but she learned well from Mr. Hathaway and it shows in this performance.Amy was not a "Pop star" she was an artist,a legend and legends come along few and far between.RIP Amy...You may be gone,but you will not be forgotten...

  • She was a true singer. She sang with such heart and soul... 

  • Salaam Remi gave us video of this on his twitter;) still horrible quality but you can hear all those beautiful notes she hit, ...after hearing the whole thing...omg why didn't she recorded that? It would be one of the best covers ever! Go and listen to it...2:42-3:03 it's amazing...especially 2:55-3:03

  • @doaee1

    The video posted on Salaam Remi's Twitter is this same incomplete video, 2:24 long.

  • thanks for letting us in amy, you where the best.

  • I can't find a way to rip the music from this video or any downloads for even the original version by Donny Hathaway anywhere!

  • @cheekz8706 the original was done by Al Kooper and Blood Sweat and Tears - Al Kooper wrote the song

  • So so sadddddddddddd R.I.P AMY

  • Wow! Just Wow!  R.I.P. Amy

  • So amazing.....I REALLY hope she recorded this!

  • @crocetti1984

    for sure it has recorded but i can not understand why music production publish on 2009 records of 2000-2001 of Amy ? Was it designed to prison her inside the studios, make a big job with her talent and after killing her to publish them and become more rich ?

  • Amy's rendition is beyond me...*Mr Hathaway kills it too*

  • Oh amy... what a loss it for us.

    I cannot believe we wont get to hear her sing and create fabulous music.

    She was a true artist and one of a kind.

    She will never be forgotten...

    Rest in peace sweet girl.

    Big love from Israel

  • Absolutely gutted this beautiful girl has been taken from us.

    One of the only modern artists who had anything to say,and really wore her heart on her sleeve.

    A real loss to music.

    RIP Amy.

  • OMFG this is soooo beautiful 1:25 around that part when she does that voice change that does something to me i looove that

  • and if I ever hurt you baby..... you know i hurt myself as well.

  • "CUS THERES NOTHING YOU CAN TEACH ME..THAT I CANT LEARN FROM MR.HATHAWAY" AMY WINEHOUSE

  • Rest in peace, Amy.

  • I usually DEPLORE when other people try to sing a Donny Hathaway song (except for his daughter Lalah) but Amy Winehouse kIlLeD this one~Amen...

  • Yes Amy is real, real emotive vocals:-) I don't care what people say, she is a legend like Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and all those Motown hero's!

  • The melody is the same of Turn Ya Loose -Mariah Carey (version of this old tune)

  • are you guys not aware this is someone elses song?

  • She could record this song to the new album. What you think?

  • Perfect voice, perfect song!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I have been listening to Amy for... appx a yr and a half. I'm an old timer from the sixties, a rock'n'roler to heart. Amy is definitely Jazz, and the best at it,this song has much of a Blues foundatio/feeling to it. She's the real McCoy. she's the real thing. She's Damn good. Theres millions of people loving♥ You Amy !!!!!

  • one of the countless qualities this brilliant artist posesses is authenticity. a much covered song that rarely even grazes the magnificence of donnny's original, but ms w knocks it right out of the ballpark without even trying. she's the truth!

  • @berlinbrownin SHE'S THE TRUTH

  • @berlinbrownin well at least Donny's cover of the original (Blood Sweat & Tears). His is the definitive version in my opinion. Like Aretha having the definitive version of "Respect" (Otis Redding)

  • @berlinbrownin Love Donny's version , but Al Kooper/Blood Sweat & Tears did it originally.

  • this is great!

  • Comment removed

  • I had only heard jokes about this woman. I'll tell you what. She's puttin something on this song that I can respect. Always loved Donny Hathaway's take on this the best, but Amy definitely represents here.

  • What`s a heart worth? The splendor of songs and seraphim from heaven, couldn`t compare to the truth of this song. Not lyrics, lyrics don`t capture a song. No, no its something else. An instrument, as something worth accounting for. Souls trumpet held to the sky draws all I ever had from the eternal beauty of the sound of your voice, sorry, pardon me, sounds are temporary the eternal beauty of the sounds of your soul giving voice to love. sharing itself with others.

  • so true

  • I keep coming back to this song. I think its becoming my favorite. Amy sings this song so gloriously it gives me chills. I wish she would record this because its torture, watching this video - the song just starts to roll, Amy is just beginning to unleash those amazing pipes - and the damn tape is done!

  • OMG! I'm going crazy trying to find this somewhere to download....I found the original versions but not hers. I want HER version!

  • @cheekz8706 could you find it? if yes PLEASE let me know. Where did she perform this? This could help me finding it....

  • even in the not so clear vid... amy is an extremely talented soul diva!

  • génial !

  • if i ever leave you baby, you can say i told you so..

  • ke voz... genial, se llama asi el tema? I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know pliss quien me confirma?

  • Excellent, such a shame it cuts out half way through. Is there a full length video of amy singing this?

  • @jaymz8623 Not as far as I know .I have seen and heard hundreds of Amy performances{ about 150+ on my channel} .

    It's a shame and I would be surprised if whoever filmed this was the only one at the time just the rest,if any, aren't online.

  • @195477 Salaam Remi posted a twitvid of her doing the middle & end. Would be nice if you could clean it up & splice it to the beginning from this one. It's @ twitvid(dot)com/886DA

  • ohhhhhhhh shyt (impressed smile)...

  • i totally agree with you... 

  • it seems like in most of the covers she does is when you really get to see how amazing her voice is

  • Fodaaaaaaaa

  • She a heavy weight. Lightweights don't even attempt this caliber of song.

  • <3...

  • i just jizzed lol i wish we could see the entire performance!! i adore this woman

  • WWOOOWWWW!BLUES 100%!HHHYYYYHEA!

  • where can i get this song?

    love amy best singer just wish she'd look after herself before she becomes the likes of jim morrison etc.

    but the best artists are the most emotionally screwed up

  • Very sad . What a waste of a great talent.

  • @tomcamp6023 -- Hathaway's suicide ? That the reference ? Wino is clean and as near to sane as anybody would want a great blues singer.

  • love you amy winehouse...love all youre performances..

  • I can't believe that!

    I've never heard this performance.

    It's definetely perfect!

    Does anyone have this song complete?

    Or any cover like this?

  • @MiltonRFLN The song is "I love you more than you ever know" by Donnie Hathaway who is arguably the greatest singer ever, male of female.

  • @Legend1One It was written and originally recorded by Al Kooper, actually. He was vocalist w/ Blood Sweat and Tears on their very first album ... before the group started sucking. ;-) This song was on that album, with Al Kooper doing lead vocal.

  • I could never imagine something like this...

    INCREDIBLE!

  • OOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGG­GG!!!

    I love you so much Amy!

    Amy and Milli Vanilli, perfect union s2

  • amazing

  • Quality

  • donny and amy are both golden gods

  • donny and amy are both golden gods

  • Amazing song...amy is great

  • omg!! i totally luv donny hathaway!!! he is amazin!!!! Amy really did do this song justice...it's just a shame we didn't get her doin the whole song.....mind u it is like 5mins long...but still!!!

    amy i luv u more that u'll eva know x

  • I was pleasantly shocked by her performance of this song. I knew that she was talented and soulful, but I had never heard her do a classic. She did it till it was DONE! Go ahead, AMY!! Please get yourself cleaned up, though. We, nor music, can afford to lose you early.

  • @Trouble611 If you like the classic you should check out a video called: Amy Winehouse Hootenanny 2005 Teach me Tonight. It's a cover from Dinah Washintong (:

  • @kukaramakara4 Ooh, sounds good. I love all the real oldie singers like Dinah, and I LOVE it that Amy does, too. She seems to know and love a lot of music that goes back farther than Dinah W. even ... songs like Moody's Mood for Love, for example.

  • @Trouble611 Wow.....how ironic you wrote this a year ago. We truly did lose her early.

  • @Trouble611 Dam...Wish she had listened R.I.P Amy

  • @Trouble611 its so sad this very thing became reality

  • Mrs. Winehouse!!!!!!!!!!! this is a true talent... i love how she covers song, she does were still friends by donny as well, sounds just as good

  • So depressing... aint that cool?

    I LOVE YOU BABY!!!!

  • This is amazing

  • i love you more youll ever know poppa!

  • give me the chills everytime

    i love you, baby

    =`(

  • the musics called I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW, i guess

  • obsessed

  • damn girl

  • I dont care what people say, I dont have no shame in my extreme love/obsession for Amy Winehouse shes the best thing that has come out of this decade so far

  • I think thats why I love her soo much, cuz there has been too much crap latley and she is a diamond in the rough

  • @RayOfLight11 What about marry me? ;D

  • @MiltonRFLN Milt Okay we'll get married and we'll play this song down the isle k? lol I loooooooooooooooove amy im glad u love her as much as i do! do u know when shes gonna grace us with some new music? Im sooo jonesin for my amy fix!!

  • @RayOfLight11 Me too! *-*

    i'm completely obsessed about Amy!

    She's the best ever :D

  • @RayOfLight11 I totally agree with you!!!!!!!!

  • @RayOfLight11 So do I! :)

  • @RayOfLight11 I hear you. Every time I see a video I haven't seen before, like this one, Amy amazes me again. What a voice. She's like Etta James or Patsy Cline. She takes you there.

  • @RayOfLight11 I WILL TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT!!! I LOVE HER VOICE!!BESTEST BY FAR!!!

  • @RayOfLight11 ...Ray, do not ever worry or care about what others say about you. Your extreme Love/Obsession for Litle Amy is no reason to feel shame.

    You are absolutely correct in making such a bold claim...Amy is, was and for-ever will be, the very best Jazz singer of All Time...RIP Little Amy♥...;(

  • wow great amazing donny hathaway cover
