I saw them do this at the BBKing Club in NYC in 2005 along with a version of Rick James' Mary Jane and they killed it . Who does'nt like their version ???? They're Deaf Dumb and Blind !!!!!
Mint Condition are the best R&B group ever. That cover of Love's Holiday is awesome. If all covers was made until today, could be like this cover... More old-school singers would be happy today...
when will you "experts" learn that this wasn't meant to upstage or even be the same as the original... it was a way of paying homage to EWF. Just because it's not up to your "high" standards doesn't discredit the attempt. And until I see proof from you experts on your own videos, I'll keep listening and enjoying the music.
This band is Good. But i think There is something here. Bass player Good but could be better (the bass position is to low for the stiye, The strings are too loud, The guitar has to be more defined. also need to work on the end of the solo. The voices could give more. they r gook but could be better. Keep going.
mint condition killed it they put a lil twist of jazz smoove only some singers sound good live its rare but not this performance i know ew and f would give mad props to this oh and dont forget the thick sister in the background
mint condition killed it they put a lil twist of jazz smoove only some singers sound good live its rare but not this performance i know ew and f would give mad props to this
by todays's musical standard, this is retarded and should be illegal..but it's TRUE..this shit is retarded, ill, sick, and should be illegal...to be this damn tight...this is a 5:26 master class on what music should sound like...damn this is BANGIN!
This is REAL R&B!!! When artists were actually musicans and played their instruments not like today where everything is done in the studio. For us who appreciated the area from the last 70's from Earth, Wind, and Fire, Midnight Starr, Gap Band, SoS Band, Skyy, Maze and others. Mint Condition was later but falls into this ELITE category. Thank you for the memories because there are no R&B groups performing today. Thanks for posting!
AWESOME video and exquisite voices! I Love this song and their voices are fantastic! I'm a BIG EWF fan and these guys are awesome, too! Thanx for posting this video! These guys are great! Do they have a CD I can buy?
See, this is why I don't even go to I Tunes anymore and sample the new artist, not gonna find talent like Mint anymore!! These guys leave me speechless!!
Great rendition...just RnB how it suppose 2 be... except for tha fact that I can tell the guitar player isn't a jazz player...because he loosing it badley in the tranpose chords..
Where?...Tha "F"!!!!... can I get this! What CD,Album...WHAT!!??? SOMEbody hollah!!! Damn! these dudes make me wanna go jam SOMEwhere everytime I hear them! MC?..is tha REAL SH__!!!!!!!!
@Taurusingr And the congregation said AMEN! I thought the same thing - I love, love. love MC - they have been holding it down for REAL music since the 90s and still going strong! LOVE IT!
The lady is Ann Nesby's daughter. Saw them in Columbia, MD at the Columbia Jazz Fest and they are always a phenomenal group. Love them! True talents who can sing AND play at least two instruments. They all write the words to their songs too. GETTING PAID....and deservedly so. (Ann Nesby used to be with Sounds of Blackness and her daughter in this video has a POWERFUL voice. She is quite the singer).
OMG - MC's has a lady on stage jamming along? I love it! I just wish it were me. Their sound is so unique. I will love them and follow the music forever.......
Damn I feel so good listening to this, hahaha - WOOoooo what a joint! Earth Wind & Fire's original was a classic BUT this right here is a souvenir...I just wanna call every woman in my past and present life and hug em and tell them genuinely, "I love you baby" after hearing this piece...I feel the LOVE; go Mint Condition go!
I've long stopped being amazed by the talent of Mint Condition as a band in general, and Stokely, as a vocalist in particular. When the group recorded the Isley Brothers' "Make Me Say It Again Girl", they let the world know that they possessed the God-given talent to give their interpretation of a "classic" tune, from a legendary band, and do a breathtakingly fine job of it! Damn if Stokely & the fellas didn't repeat that process here, with this tribute to Earth, Wind & Fire. MC is the TRUTH!
I love the version Lalah Hathaway sings and this version. They take this song and make it their own. Hell I just love anything Mint Condition sings anyway. Fantastic!!
DID YOU HEAR THAT BEGINING?? That's real vocals.. I love MC.. they have awesome music and do FANTASTIC COVERS!!! I love the original but this one is just as hot.... MC needs to find their way into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for real.. Real Musicans Stand up!!! Thanks for the post..
Love this version, Love MC. Saw them recently in Phx and it was awsome. I am loving my recently purchased Luxury Brown CD. They really blew me away with jams like Doormat and Whoa and Sad Girl. I will purchase E-Life soon as well. I Love MC.>>T
if yall didnt know this is the modern day EWF... Mint Condition.... No other band today reminds u of them except Mint! They pass it on to the right band... Mint fan for life!
I love me sum Mint Condition!
