  • Well he was the lead singer of Hootie and the blowfish for sure I done look up every thing so that I know for a fact>.Just saying

  • I love country music and I love Darius Rucker's voice. He originally was with the group "Hootie And The Blowfish" and did a hit song that I like a lot too called "I Only Wanna Be With You". I think a lot of us can relate to the words to this song in some way or another huh. He's just awesome.........good song too!!!

  • thanks for inspiring me to write my own music darius

  • i love this video i wish i could go to his cocert every time he has one so he can sign the guitar he gave me so i would have the last piece of my collection

  • wow..

    this song explains so much. But his personality explains much much more.

    100/10

  • me and joshes song i miss him so much

  • i LOVE this song

  • This song makes me sad.... But I love it anyway, because it reminds me of some of the good times I had, and even though I miss those times, They were still good.

  • I'm so glad Darius found his niche in Country Music. Because seriously, his R&B stuff was just horrible

  • when I hear a good song- If I like it I like it- never think about color-same if I dont like it---Kick ass song --and Darius is a great guy period

  • I don't care what color he is...Darius has an awesome voice. Loved him in Hootie & the Blowfish...so glad that he is now singing country, it is a wonderful showcase for his voice.

  • you never ive never cried so much until i listened to this song my gf and i broke up about 4 months ago and to this day i still cry because i miss her so much does anyone feel the same about this song?

  • He's not the first black country singer!!! There's Charlie Pride...get over it!!!

  • You know hes not doing to bad as a solo artist country singer. And i usually dont like main stream country. But i still like him better as hootie and the blow fish. "Only want to be with you" and "hold my hand" are some of the best damn songs ever.

  • (Insert dramatic comment about the black country singer here)

  • Darius Rucker is God's gift to mankind.

  • hard to belive this is Hooty off hooty and the blowfish

  • @420ChadL FYI Darius was never Hootie. Hootie was a nickname for a guy they went to school with as was Blowfish.

  • I love this song!!! It's so true what he's talking about!!!

  • The first time I heard his song on the radio; I didn't know he was black. I loved the song, and when I saw the video on CMT; I didn't care. I only care about quality music. Darius Rucker is one of the best voices in modern country, in my opinion. And for one, he makes me feel better about being a country fan and not being white; I'm half Mexican. :)

  • ok... yes, Darius Rucker is black, GET OVER IT... If you didn't like this song before you knew he was black, then you're lying. Darius Rucker is a great song writer, and has one hell of a voice. GET OVER THAT TOO. If you feel like you want to live out your racist lives and prejudice voice, MOVE SOMEWHERE WHERE SOMEONE APPRECIATES THAT SHIT. Because Darius ain't goin nowhere.

  • um does not matter bout color this man right here is the best country makin song writtin u could ever here so be glad that he brings the best country to are world

  • wow a black country singer...hella cool...like*

  • And i would just like everyone to know FYI and if u didnt know, Darius Rucker use to be the lead singer of Hootie and The Blowfish so yeah....alot of ppl didnt think he was African American when they heard his voice on the radio back then, and he had Critics then as well so as the saying gos theres nothing new under the sun so....QUIT HATEIN!!!

  • Color and race doesn't matter at all. It's music. Enjoy it!

  • This guy is just awful..... I'd love to see a cool black man or woman do some country..maybe add in some of those classic blues....but this guy is just terrible...I wish he'd go back to sucking in hootie and the blowfish and stop stinking up the country charts.

  • Liked him when he was Hotie and the Blowfish, Still like him.

  • love this song!!!!!!!!!!

  • awesome music !

  • Did all yall morons forget about Charlie Pride? Its not like Darius is the first "black country singer"

  • @xosouthernsweetheart

    Who?? I don't think I've ever heard of Charlie Pride...what did he sing? What's his most famous song. (I'm not always good with artist names...)

  • Darius Rucker is amazing!! Who ever said black people can't sing country? If you did you're dumb. I'm just waiting for Darius to make a hip-hop album so he can be the first in the world to be a skilled artist in THREE different genres! lol <3

  • I'm so sick of people catagorizing what genre someone belongs by the color of their skin. If Darius Rucker was a rapper and Eminem was a country singer, the world would think everything is the way it is supposed to be and thats sad because Eminem is the best rapper in the world, and Darius Rucker is one of the best country music stars. Talent doesnt look at ethnicity.

  • I love how Darius sings with soul and so much feeling. His songs make so much sense, and can easily talk about someone's life.

  • My Marine driving away...me wishing he had never left.

  • The song is absolutely gorgeous, but why did it have to be white actors in the vid? It is always white actors in these vids. Fail..

  • Makes me think of my abbs....especially the blonde fading from the passenger seat.....

  • Great song, of course.

  • Great song, of course. don't no why they talk about racist.DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AA

  • @matthegeek Darius Rucker was in Hootie and the Blowfish. >.>

  • @Meekison93 yeaa i found that out AFTER i'd posted that comment and felt like such a noob lol, imagine the look on me face after i realised why it sounded so much like hottie and the blowfish :oP

  • ok so hes black. it dont fucking matter. hes got one of the best singing voices in country and is one of the best singers period. if your still racist and claim to be a christian, go read the fucking bible. thou shall not hate! times have changed. we might be in a recession, but were america land of the free. god bless america! love this song, and darius rucker aint going anywhere for a while. and lord forgive me for cursing

  • That man can freakin sing a song that brings chills.

  • The girls parents own a brunch restaurant in Coldwater, Ontario. We met them and they are very friendly! That's how we found out about this video =)

  • Black or not, this guy is amazing.

  • Great song!! It is so true for so many of us.. and for the two below COLOR has NOTHING to do with music so drop it. Idiots.

  • OMG. I cant believe people care about color. I love Darius. I feel bad for people who don't listen because of color. Every song I listen to I have some posts & I'm not happy with it. I'm white, I don't care about color, the music & lyrics are awesome!

  • you guys stop being racist darius is just like any other country musician maybe even better then some

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song and i think that darius Rucker is one of the greatest singers out there

  • JUST SAW HIM AT COUNTRY FEST<33333

  • One of my all time favorites, I listen to it over and over again.

  • Love this song!!!!

  • this vid is a fantastic country song

  • dude u made a big mistake i would of kept her and loved her forever

  • Great to see anothe black guy, follow in the footsteps of Charley Pride and simply sing good country music !

  • Music doesnt recognize color...does the color of someones skin make them less of a singer or person. If you like the music...that's all that matters :) There will always be people out there that hate people simply by the color of their skin...i truly feel bad for them as narrow- minded people sure miss out on alot.

  • Darius Rucker is the most under rated singer in the world. He has the most talent and is one of the best singers of all time. I can't think of any one who can sing the music he can. I have seen him in HBF 7 times, and that is a show you should all see. they rock the world.

  • @sweetpea6508 Amen, when i first heard this song on the radio..i could have sworn it must have been a white guy...then i saw the video...and i was like "well shoot, good to see black people can sing country too.....races these days are way to categorized, music wise. Black people have to be rappers, white people must be country singers. i cant stand that. But i agree with you 100%. Music is music..who cares what color there skin is? i give you kudos for posting this.... And i love this song!

  • @Semperfisal92 i posted a coment above a while ago. my point was, if u ONLY heard the song.AND u liked it, Did u have to ask yourself, was he non-white?..and if so do it really fregin matter?. FYI seen Hottie 3 times, and yes i love their stuf. I just like seeing a man that isnt white do some great country

  • @sweetpea6508 So dam true.. when it comes to good music all u hear is the song..only video's show us a persons skin colr. But did anyone who heard the song ask themselves, O my..was that guy not white..?

  • @sweetpea6508 Well said my friend!

  • i think the video is a little obvious and corny, the couple laughing together and all that. but you can´t enter country music market breaking all the rules, and country music videos are always just like that. the song is amazing, and the colors and looks of the video also great.

  • Darius Rucker - Just saw you at country fest!! Had an absolute blast!!

  • Darius Rucker - Just saw you at country fest!! Had an absolute blast!!

  • so what hes black haha hes got more money then you will ever have!!!!!

  • darius rucker is bad ass. love his voice.

  • Could be the next Charlie Pride. Hope he keeps to this line of work.

  • He totally awesome love everything he does!!!

  • Great song! Keep them coming!

  • music is color blind...

  • This. Guy. Is. AWESOME!

  • spend some time in the joint then see if you aint racist. Treehugging tricks,

  • his color is black but he acts fully white all the way

  • @MissTalkativeRandom he doesn't act white. he acts like a gentlemen.

  • @MissTalkativeRandom how do u act white??

  • @MissTalkativeRandom just one question. How the fuck do you act white?. i mean seriously guys, has this world become so berreft of moral values and decensy?!. There is no way to act white or black, there is just a way to act like yourself!!!!!!!

  • @carbonboots im just making a point.. People should like or not like a person instead of like and not like being of their color.... Im sick of people having a problem w him being black........

  • love him<3

  • Saw him twice on the H 2 O tour with brad paisley! freaking awesome concert. once in Darrien Lake and the othher in Toronto at Molson Amp Theaher.

    Great stuff!

  • haha i dont get the racism, he dosent seem to mind being a black country singer so why do you guys make a big deal lol? like this if you agree

  • jeez just because hes black and white people guys dont overeact

  • this video is a double edged sword i mean a black guy singing with a couple of white people but if he used black actors people would attack him because of that....people suck

  • love it:)

  • Hes a great singer no matter what color he is!I think his voice is great country or in the band Hootie and the blow fish!I dont think he is doing this for a color thing i think he is just because some singer love to sing its there life!Why waste a great voice.I love all kinda of music but i do get sick of hip hop and such nice change ever once in a while!!!!!!

  • What morons could even think a racist thought about this guy??????? CREEPS! Great song!

  • His voice ♥

  • another good song

  • @simwrangler

    Lol, it's my opinion. I do admit that it's wrong to stereotype an entire group, so I apologize for that. Regardless, I'm not surprised by some of the comments on this video.

  • I love all Darius Rucker songs most apply so much to my life

  • lol not surprised... We all know the bulk of country music's audience is racist, ignorant, uneducated rednecks.

  • @agibola Liar.

  • Just saw Hootie and the Blowfish in concert last night in Charleston, SC and they were awesome!!! Darius even did his popular country song w/ the Blowfish backing him on instruments and vocals and it was awesome also! Darius/Hootie fan since 1993!!!!!

  • honeslty if all of you are hating on him then why are you listening to the song? stop being rasict because people are different have a heart! everones different

  • turn your speakers up !

  • Comment removed

  • wow this is great

  • darius rucker a country artist? who would of thunk it? But i have to say...it works. Great songs by the former hootie frontman.

  • 129 people accidentally disliked this video:D

  • @ForeverACountryGirl they were white surpremesists

  • wow this is sad racist people lol this is fucking america a free place

    this is not just for whites this is fir anyone that is wanting to be free so

    shut the fuck up and live in the place that is free

  • @ASoccerBeast14 music is color blind...

  • @ASoccerBeast14 how much peace and freedom are you planning on accomplishing by yelling and swearing at people? your aggressive response is slightly hypocritical.  i'm not saying i'm okay with racism, but if your really looking for freedom, let people think what they want.

  • @Trueghetto1 it dont matter what color u are. your still being rasist. white and black people are = there is no more black ppl then there are white there are no more white ppl then black so get over your self. dont be rassist and just shut up!!

  • @Trueghetto1 do you know proper english...what are you even saying?? lmao you are an idiot

  • im black i like it i like all kind im from the hood real street nigga

  • Love this song and viddy:)  Guy in the viddy wearin the green ball cap is really fit ! Super cute :)

  • Darius Rucker,you kick ass sir! thank you

  • No need to argue with ignorance. As Ron White said "You can't fix stupid."

    This man makes beautiful music and he is not the first black country singer. Remember Charlie Pride? He was called racist insults in his day and he went on to make country music history. Thank you Mr. Rucker for continuing to share your music with us.

  • Great song Darius!I'm very proud of you going and doing this for all African Americans that do sing country and avoiding the racist comments.

  • @TheAnthonystory He's not doing this for all African Americans just so you know, He's doing this for himself and because he enjoys it. Don't try to act like he's doing this for "African Americans" Which in case should only be called black people if your from America. Don't see you all calling us German Americans, Swedish Americans, etc.

  • AMAZING!!

  • sorry but... thats messed up!!!

  • @HunnyBunny775 Don't be sorry about it..He's just an ass!

  • i dont like black people but Darius Rucker is the man

  • @iGame99 really.... u dont like black people???

  • @HunnyBunny775

    its the way i was raised

  • @iGame99

    i don't like idiot racist posters but darius rucker is the man.

  • @SpinDoctor91

    have some respect and capitalize his name

  • @iGame99

    seriously? that's all you have to say after a racist comment?!!?! whatever man,my god have mercy on your soul.

  • @SpinDoctor91

    im not racist. i just dont respect people who dont respect me, and african americans dont respect me so you can stfu and stop judging me.

  • @iGame99

    What a way to generalize.

  • @iGame99

    first off not judjing you.second off not liking a race off people IS racist.so you are,why dont black people respect you? that's crazy

  • @iGame99 lol

  • its one of the best songs he done

  • Just awesome! Great Singer/Song Writer too!

  • i love this man and not in a gay way. his songs hit it all right on the head.

  • I agree with "southerncountrygrl1 and  Spin Doctor

  • advertisements suck

  • damn i love this song..and stop being racist everyone hes amazing and you know it

  • If anything being black makes him a better country singer.

  • Man all yall need to stop hatin on him aint nobody a got the right to say what he can do and where There is no law that says you cant where a run dmc shirt and sing country and there sure isn't one that says you cant be black an sing country honestly i think he's better than some white performers just like i think (just an example) Eminem is better than some black artist when it comes to rap/hiphop

  • you know, people whine and cry about the world being screwed up.. so why is it at all necessary to make racist comments, especially towards such a nice talented man like Darius? if you have a problem with him, don't search him up on You Tube. quit with the racism, quit with the stereotype.

  • put the imbed 

  • im sorry but truth be told id be a lie if i didnt say i am racist he does have a good voice though but its funny when your like he has no "nigga" in him but he does...you see in all these music videos he dresses country sorry but i say him in tinley park and he had on a red nike ball cap and a RUN DMC shirt. now please your on a country music tour not rap. not to mention it was an insult playing family tradtions made famous by hank williams jr. and made fun of whites during brad paisleys alcohol

  • @piratekeith87 Music in general is universal. Many people are eclectic when it comes to music. Darius Rucker has done nothing to change his singing voice while transitioning through genres. He didn't have to. He's talented. As was Charley Pride.

    Furthermore, if you knew anything about country music, you would know that famous country musicians have a history of crossing genres, including Willie Nelson who has done collaborations with musicians such as Snoop Dogg, Bryan McKnight and Beck.

  • @piratekeith87 i hate rap and city scum but darius is a good person thru and thru.

  • @piratekeith87 who cares what the guy wears??? music defined is; an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color.............do you see anything having to do with what someone wears? i sure didnt.

  • @piratekeith87 so what if a country singer wore a run dmc shirt. do you have any idea how diverse the music industry is? you have rock singers working with pop stars [like brett michaels and miley cyrus] you have country with rock, country with rap, rap with rock. every mix you can think of, its been done. you are so close minded. being a racist is a joke. what does the color of a person skin, or where someone comes from matter? and dont say the way they dress or talk or anything like that

  • @piratekeith87 .....i can point out MANNNNY white/spanish/italian etc people that talk "nigga" or "gangsta" same with whos in gangs and what not. blaming something on one race just shows ur lack of knowladge about the real world.

  • @piratekeith87 you need to calm down son. you dont dress him in the morning so let him dress himself. theres no law sayin black people that sing country cant wear nike and RUN DMC. and just because he does covers of songs doesnt mean he makes fun of people or insults them.
