Probably the interesting cover of this song ever made. I get chills just thinking about what a talent like Raul Midon could do with this song given the challenge.
I just can't believe it is possible for humans to put such an amount of crap in the tiny space of 4 minutes. This must definitely be the WORST song I have ever heard in my life.
Want to know how hot this rendition is? Just look at Stevie Wonders reaction! Herbie, Greg and Raul. Would love to see all three in a concert together
I havent seen this since the original broadcast ..Raul is amazing! I thank God with the ablitity to hear such beautiful music sometimes the other senses dont even matter.....divine!
i have this song on cd.. the remake.. man this is just soo.... beautiful.. mere words cannot say how amazing this sounds :) . Ive heard the original version by stevie as well :D!! what an amazing song :)
Thanks for mentioning that. A lot of folks don't realize how complex it was and not many vocalists could have kept up with those changes. And THEN he improvises on top of it! Beautiful!
I don't know why this was spam, it was a legit question. The Album is Herbie Hancock: Possibilities. It's also got Christina Aguilera on A Song For You, and John Mayer. A few other artists as well, but they all collaborate with Herbie!!
dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days
craziqbal and kevierae, with all due respect, u probably havent seen his strength. granted whoever posted this vid focused on his vocals. hes still a good vocalist but WHAT NEWOMER WOULDNT BE A LITTLE NERVOUS, right??? anyway, look at his other videos.. this blind man can turn a guitar into a deadly weapon im serious.
IMO, I feel that this raul fellow butchered the song.. I mean sure his voice is incredible but there's no feeling..When stevie sang the song you could feel his emotions when he tells the other person he called to say 'I love you'..when raul sings it..zit..That's how I feel about this version..
This guy sucks! When Stevie Wonder was given the Kennedy Center Honor, Herbie Hancock had jazz singer, Diana Schur, cover this. She tore it up. Stevie was in tears! If anyone has that performance, please post!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
he was just short with me and rude i told him how wonderful i thought he sang and asked him about his influences, i remember saying something like " you remind me of my favorite singer brian mcknight a lot, do you listen to him, who are your influences, and his response was.."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hmmm. thats a shame. maybe he was just upset about something, maybe he had somethign on his mind. or maybe he just is a prick, but one thign is for sure: u must treat ur fans like gold, unconditionally, and i guess he failed to do so.
Raul is a quiet person off the stage. Have you ever asked Brian McKnight a question? I think you're being overly sensitive - the fact that you had access to him says an enormous amount about him - he makes himself available to his fans. Not everyone does that and your comment is the reason why. It wasn't enough for you - you wanted more - like let's have coffee and go over my influences...
I have seen him live, if you ever get the chance to go, no matter what else you might be doing, go and see him. The most phenominal thing I have seen and its a show i will never forget, truly inspirational...
I got to see him in a place called the Kessler Theatre. There were only 100 people there and the coolest thing was that you could hear him warming up on stage! He was such a nice person to the sound guy during the process. When the show finished I got to talk to him about music, so I asked him if he had perfect pitch. He doesn't. Then he gave me an autograph. It kicked balls. The END
This is no doubt one of the most beautiful renditions of a song...PERIOD. I bought the cd and could not stop listening to this one song. This is MUSIC at its best!!! Bravo...Bravo
How he imitates a trumpet with his mouth is incredible, I have never seen or heard anyone do that before. I actually just caught Herbie Hancock's Possiblities on tv the other night and he did an AMAZING solo, it was fantastic. I wish I could do that.
Beautiful all the way around. Midon gorgeous. Phillinganes' string/keyboard is sublime. And Herbie has never hit a wrong note in his life. Every instinct by these masters are right on the money.
first time i saw this was on the possibilities cd. Midon sounded so good even Herbie was reluctant to play with him thinking that the song was already perfect without anything but Midon and his guitar. I like Herbie's addition though. Both musicians are amazing.
OMG!!! This is the best vocal i've heard in forever. Man, iv never heard of him till like 2 mo. ago through my obsestion with Jason Mraz. I can't beleive i havnt sooner.. He just made me have to get his album.
I was already a huge Raul Midon fan, but to see him with Herbie AND to see the response he got from Stevie Wonder himself is in itself a BEAUTIFUL thing! Damn, that gave me chills!
Really nice arrangment by Herbie again! stevie played on that track in the studio, i think he likes the cover, otherwise he would not have done that....
That is absolutely beautiful, and who really cares if they're black, white, blind, or whatever? They all have such talent, and that's all that really matters. Your racism is what's a bit cliche. How about an original thought for once???
you guys take life way too seriously. I love raul i love stevie I dont care where either of them were from i was being cynical for the hell of it jeeeeeeeeez, and cover/tribute, do be so pedantic...
Herbie and Raul did the recording with Stevie long before this show... They thought they'd let Stevie sit this one out - since it was to honor his life's work...
Hmm... richyphoenix, I know you mean well. But you do a dis-service to yourself in your statement... FYI, Raul father was Argentinian, not African-American. It doesn't really matter, he's a consummate musician/artist, as is Stevie Wonder. The fact that they're both dark-skinned and blind shouldn't be how we define them, does it? Hey, they're both right-handed too! :)
What a wonderful clip of music -- thanks for this.
Ok herbie and raul is doing there thing but that mouse just never cease to awwwwwwww me! This is where its at big ups to real muzic!
