  • omg I'm dying! the VOICE + emotion <3

  • LOVE THIS SONGGGGGGGGG

  • -3 love, love, love!!

  • Thank you for uploading this version of a classic soulful song. Only wish I could download this version from iTunes... A voice and a piano and words of love. Stumbled across this late but not forgotten.

  • Amy Winehouse sings it better.

  • One of the most underrated musicians, amazing vocalist.

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard...amazing Gavin just amazing!!

  • He's truly a gifted man... My God... His talent is unveliavable...

  • Gavin Degraw has truly been touched by the hand of God. His talent comes from a divine place.

  • самый лучший!

  • This gives me shivers every time I watch it.

  • love it!!!!

    

  • You know when Ray sang this song to Willie on his birthday before he died I thought that was end of this song, but this is....

  • 1:56" ... como ele é sexy rsrs

  • Love this cover of the classic Donny Hathaway. Beautiful

  • @diamondblackbarbie It's a cover of Leon Russell's song...Leon Is an old man now but he is still a great musician and performer.

  • fuckin sick man!!!!!!!!!!! 

  • the feelings you're feeling are because of Leon Russell's beautiful lyrics and melody---let us give credit where it is due

  • @CattailsandRoses really..thank you. I'm seriously a HUGE fan of Gavin DeGraw BUT one should never forget where the song comes from. indeed he has that marvelous and pure voice that gives the song GREAT rendition but one must admit that the lyrics and melody are also AMAZING and so PURE!!

  • The first time I heard Gavin, I just sat and cried. His voice touched something inside my soul. Gavin I don't know if your life has time for reading our comments, but know in one of my darkest hours.....you saved me.....I will never met you or you me, but your love of music changed my life......I am in such honor to have been able to be alive in your time to hear your gift to touch peoples lives though your music......Thank You from the deepest part of my SOUL....

  • oh my fucking jesus christ i love me some gavin degraw. he makes me...feel.

  • demasiadoooooooo

  • Can you pleasseee get the Chariot Version. I cant find it anywhere on YouTube

  • Gavin.. . I ♥ you. *-*

  • i love him

  • Gavin, you should do a song with James Morrison.

  • nice cover of a willie nelson song. seriously epic,

    

  • @Browner47 Leon Russell*

  • @Browner47 this isn't willie's song! It belongs to Leon Russell and he sang it best !

  • I saw John Mayer and Leon Russel perform this song at the rock and roll hall of fame induction and that was awesome but what would be even better would be to see John play this with Gavin! Love Gavin and John! <3

  • @pani97

    Couldn't be more agree !!!

  • 21 people are DEAF

  • shit, damn goosebumps ! ^_^

  • Bloody love him!!!

  • Never fails to amaze me. I watch this video almost everyday and i find it beautiful that there is someone who can sing like this out there. So much soul.

  • /watch?v=gQztUCyUQco

  • Makes me quake

  • His voice is so beautiful

  • does he write his own songs?(: it's prolly a dumb question, but it's awesome when a musician writes his own songs because then you know there's pure meaning behind the words he sings.

  • @katielove096 Unsurprisingly he writes own songs too. But even his covers are really the best of the best in THAT music business, where it´s not about earning money with music, but where it´s about credibility, soul, feeling and heart.

  • His voice gives me goosebumps, especially when he's straining on the higher notes....pure joy!

  • Love it,love it!!!! Wow!

  • Wonderful as usual;)

  • does anyone know the chord progression of this song?

  • All I can say, is this: NO ONE can sing a "stripped" song as awesome as you! :o*)

  • 21 people can't see through them...

  • pfieuww! i didn't saw this one until now.. and i know from now on i'm gonna watch it another million times! Just love it

  • wow he is amazing, raw talent man. :O

  • the way he sings and moves reminds me of Ray Charles.

  • ok so its a toss up for me. Its either gaven or michael buble, they both sing this song perfectly but its a toss up on who does it better. love them both

  • wow gavin you have such a beautiful voice. well done sing soul music your great. keep following your dreams.

  • My favourite version since Donny Hathaway...Donny is still The King, but Gavin is surely The Prince...

  • Much better than any version, xpesially much better than buble's. Buble sings easy barritone. He could never reach Gavin's tone

  • @dizzlemsc why do u feel the need to compare them? they both sing the song crazy gud in different ways. Buble takes his time with it while gavin's is more soulful. say wat u will but both versions r amazing

  • @kaleidoscopeOFsoul The thing is.. Of course music has always had variantions and it has never been the same, no matter artist. But when you are a barritone, you should be able to push yourself and your voice longer and higher, - so that you overcome your tone. In this case, Buble is barritone, but so is Gavin Degraw. And gavin gives 110% effort in his performances = He reaches even higher notes. Buble just sings in his own style and boxes, and never pushes himself. = Gavin > Buble

  • @dizzlemsc ok i somewat conceed gavin does reach higher notes and buble could push himself even tho he gives it 110% but at the same time i do find it appealing that they both have what many vocalists of today dont, which is control...still cant say which is better tho, i choose to not take sides which can be seen as a cop out because i loooove both 2 much

  • THE BEST!

  • Comment removed

  • little brother can really sing,i only have 1 sister,so i,ve claimed gavin for my little bro,i dont think he will mind,i,ve exchanged a few words with him a couple times,hes really a nice young man,i cant get enough of his singing

  • Gavin definitely did The Carpenters justice.

  • @KrissVengeance This is Leon Russell's song !!!!

  • Gavin, can you sing for my future wedding?

  • I just can't stop loving this song!! <3

    

  • Lindo, maravilhoso, sexy... tudo de bommmmmm

  • I am speechless, the lyrics say enough.

  • sexy voice!! just awesome.

  • Mhm, love this one!

  • amazing. truely amazing.

  • beautiful !

  • Oooooo la la, I just love this man. His voice is like an angel. :)

  • i think he's so cute :3

  • Very beautiful!

  • This was a great version of a classic song. Donny Hathaway's version was good too. But neither of them were the best. The best version was performed by Ray Charles.

  • sing your own type of music and leave us with our pride.

  • obviously 15 people don't want this song sang to them!!!

  • my favorite song. I.. LOVE.. THIS.. SONG!!!!

  • he killed it nice version!!!

  • THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL

  • i love the song

  • I think leon russell has the best version, and you have to listen to it and decided for yourself. Listen to the studio version.

  • @AtlantaMobileProd Naw, the best is Donny Hathaway

  • WOW i happen to just run cross this guy i NEVER heard of him before but he has a great sound especially for someone trying to touch a Donnie Hathaway classic he did justice one word....impressed

  • @JokerReturns191911 A Leon Russel Classic:) But I agree that Donny did it amazing too..

  • Words cannot desrcribe how deep and soulful, and just beyond amazing this is!!! I keep coming back to this...over and over..... Love you Gavin..... XXXXX

  • very nice voice and swag!

  • Comment removed

  • It must be such a good feeling singing this knowing that you sound amazing as he does. This is an absolute perfection. The guy is a huge talent.

  • soooo sick!! I love this guy! <3<3<3

  • this guys voice is simply amazing

  • the guy is crazy talented

  • Soulful baby, soulful.

  • I love him !

  • dude has some serious soul.

  • i love this song.. i'm totally in love with it

  • gives me chills.. brilliant

  • the best :)

  • The " I LOVE YOU" part is the best !! this man has some skills;)

  • q lindo color de voz me encanta, y este tema esta lindo lindo

  • When is he coming up with a DVD?......would luv to get one....anyone out there let me know when one comes out!!! thanks

  • Nice voice. God Bless!!!!!!!

  • he's so sexy'n' has the sexiest voice......:P ngl i just luv him....

  • Gavin, I know you must hear this all the time...but will you marry me??

  • @cialis1969 Yeah, maybe he will make an exception for you ;) haha!

  • I still love the original but he's not bad :)

  • gavin is amazing, but your really gonna compare him to ray charles?

  • Ray Charles, Leon Russell, Joe Cocker, and a host of others have tackled this piece, but after hearing them, and hearing Gavin, I do believe Gavin supercedes all the rest that I have heard thus far when it comes to this one song. That is saying alot, when Ray Charles is put into the equation. By the way, I just found this guy tonight on youtube. Never heard of him before in my life. So far, to me, this is the best song that he performs. I could not find it on Itunes to purchase though.

  • haha I wouldn't compare him to Ray Charles or any of those other people you listed. Gavin is a great musician, but he's not a legend

  • @moseseseseses u didn't even mention the original, which was DONNY HATHAWAY

  • Gavin is so amazing, everything he does is so unique and genuine, he always sings from the soul, this is the best performance of this song I've ever heard!

  • All I can say is WOW...the guy is PERFECT!!! In every way :)

  • I love that guy is so genuine. I like him!

  • Gavin is phenomenal on this song, and every song he sings. This is because he's genuine, and puts 150% into his music. He isn't phony! He takes each song on a journey. Gavin isn't a cookie cutter performer. He isn't out to sound exactly like the original. He takes each song and puts his whole heart into it--doing it justice. A beautiful human being and talented musician. He is who he is, nothing more or less. He's raw, and that is what makes him Gavin. Unique at it's finest!

  • Whatever this man touches becomes gold! I'm rediscovering the song, and I'm falling in love... again

  • its an ok cover of the original Donny Hathaway song

  • sometimes its not about sounding the best but how much emotion you put into it. some of the best singers are the ones that arent the best vocally but how they sing the song omg is awesome.

  • in my opinion, michael buble did better. but gavin degraw is however awesome

  • lol michael buble riiiighht

  • @yalcin13

    i cant agree with that,

    you cant compare the two of them cause they both have different singing styles :)

  • The sound is so perfect.. Love him

  • Usually, I think that people should steer clear of this song, because it's so iconic, and amazing, but he totally does it justice.

  • Gavin is a great singer, but can sound very raw at times. He is so passionate in every performance l have ever seen. An amazing song writer that has been heavily influenced by the great soul/RnB singers of the 60's, 70's & 80's.

  • If anyone could send me this it would be much appreciated.

    x

  • So touching, j'adore!!

  • saying you all like underrated artists, is kinda mainstream of ya'll. trying to make yourself sound different from everyone else. underrated music is only what u make of it , it doesnt have to be underrated if u like it , millions of other people like it too , is there really such a thing called underrated music ?

  • Sure there is 150mah. Do your own survey and ask random people if they know who Gavin Degraw is? See how many "yes" answers you get. Do the same for someone with less talent like IDK T-Pain?

  • gogo doesnt know what the hell he or she is talking about ,, trying to compair jason mraz to gavin degraw ? they are both totally different ., but gavin singing abilities are way better than .,. really anyone i can think of

  • sometimes music is better when not every note is hit perfectly- it gives the song and artist originality.

  • @gogo38 He is pretty close to the best singer in his genre. The only male singer that I can think of that is better vocally is Jason Mraz, who kicks the shit out of everyone else.

  • @Thebighairy : Yeah, you're right saying that he might be one of the most talented singer in his genre. And you're right Mraz is also incredible, definitely ! But you must not forget there are so many incredible blues, jazz, and even pop singers (and some arent on youtube) who are incredibly talented, and those are the underrated, you know?

  • hey whats wrong with 2:00? he didnt go flat or anything, he just went too far from the mic thats why his falceto note wasnt so clear...

  • @XxdripperxX you are right i kept listening to 2:00 and there was nothing wrong with the note

  • yeah.. the one who said something is wrong with 2:00 doesnt have the ear for music.. probabaly tone-deaf.. haha lol

  • @XxdripperxX they need to turn the volume up ha

  • @gogo38 That was probably the only mistake he made during the whole song. I agree with you, however, that he's not the best male singer at the moment. He's a very talented singer, composer, songwriter and piano-player though, which is a rare combination. Many people call him 'underrated', because he isn't as popular as some singers who are considered less talented by these people. I therefore totally agree with you're first comment, which I 1'upped ! :D

  • hes probably the best male singer right now, but i agree he's totlly underrated..

  • loving this man right now...and you're right, its always the underrated ones who are the best!

  • @alsimes totally agree

  • this dude honestly is underated

  • I love underrated artists. Their music is more pure.

  • @MaximABM i couldnt have said it any better. all the music you hear today sung by all the "top" artists, is so..... meaningless

  • luvit :)..greetings from hungary :)

  • my god

  • love this!

  • omg his voice(L) xD

  • he is very talented guy!!!love all his work..

    i hope come to my country to perform and serenade us with his songs...

  • my sister says hes a prodigy!! so do i... he so deep i love his songs he has a beautiful voice.. hes beautiful in every aspect!

  • ronaldo

  • Nice cover of a Leon Russell song!

  • hgdfhgfhgfhjgf

  • FANTASTIC!!!!! A SONG FOR US!! THANKS

  • he is just a gorgeous person in every aspect. i want to be married to him!!!!!!!!!!!

  • that makes us two, but i think we can make it work. lol.

  • lmao

  • Get in line...lol

  • @gorgeouschelsi I agree. He has a beautiful voice and he's gorgeous. His songwriting capability is phenomenal and he does not have even ONE bad song. Plus - his video blogs make him seem like a really truly great person. Great personality. Great laugh.

  • love this song <3.

  • O jeito como ele canta e fantastico!

  • Ele canta muito,as músicas são lindas, tem uma voz maravilhosa. ele é perfeito! =]

  • RCA spanks my fuckin' monkey.

  • Don't they know that this PROMOTES the sales?

  • love it

  • Very beautiful :)

  • This was great, thank you..My favorite version is Karen Carpenter's....Aloha

  • That was excellent. But I have to say...I really wish someone would sing this the way Leon Russell did originally. And Gavin has the right voice for it. Not taking anything away from Donny Hathaway, but everyone seems to want to do his version. I think he's the one that sang it as "song to you" instead of "song for you", and it kinda bugs me. Still great though. I really enjoyed this.
