  • @matitsarichy Thanks, man.

  • fuk me i luv this guy .. but id luv 2 here 1 of the latest bands cover this,, 5****

  • what a fuckin voice onl;y a jock n awe

  • Fantastic. But was just thinking about what Paul Rodgers could do with this tune.

  • @daven58100  Now that would be something I would like to hear.

  • Probably the best version of this song ever,  Top Man, Great voice.

  • An already great song, unbelievably enough, made even better!

  • This is the best version of this song.

    Period.

  • I have followed Frankie Miller since the middle 70s and he was one of the best live acts around. He was forever arguing with his record company over musical differences and this contributed to less exposure. One of his best albums was High Life which was produced by the great Allen Toussaint and his version of Brickyard blues (play something sweet) is great.

  • Prachtig, waar is deze man gebleven. Ik heb hem ooit gezien in Nijmegen en er waren 15 betalende bezoekers. Hij zette een fles "whiskey" aan zijn mond en zei: what the fuck... I'm giving a concert" Was helemaal geweldig en ik vind dit de mooiste uitvoering van dit nummer!!!

  • class, just class!

  • just heard aidan dipshit on xfactor destroy this song if he had heard this he would not have dared to sing it hail hail frankie

  • Great cover, almost everybody could not come up the original untill te title was sung.

    Love Frankie's voice. Loenie bedankt! Frankie, call me..

  • @johnmckinlay67 Thanks, mate. It's clear from the viewing stats that lots of people are finding this video and enjoying it, so I'm happy. 8 thumbs ups now!

  • @vegetubleman Twenty now !!! Going up...

  • Unbelievable--this guy is one of the best soul singers Britain has ever produced *(and the best one for Scotland!) and no one knows who he is. He is to Stax/Volt style soul what Peter Green was to Chicago blues--the real thing, no fakery, no posing. Otis Redding is applauding in heaven.

  • Thanks for this vegetubleman. I had a copy of this years ago, now thanks to modern technology & guys like yourself ,it's out here for folks to enjoy. I can't believe it's only got the thumbs up 6 times, including my own. Obviously not many people know Frankie covered this...and it beats Ferrys version hands down.

  • Best version ever of this song!

  • Just found the John Peel session version of this - which is the one I really remember from then. It's incomplete, sadly. Anyone want me to upload it?

  • Lennon's favourite version. Fucking brilliant.

  • @madaxemanbeer It takes a great arrainger to re-do a Beatles song, Joe Cocker ( Help From My Friends and Bathroom Window) was dam good and I would have to say that Frankie is the only other one, and both Joe and Frankie are GREAT R&B Vocalist. Frankie took this song and made it his, if it's good enough for Lennon I'm fine with it LOL. Frankie gone to soon.

  • this is an amazing version, does anyboy know where i could get a backing track for it?

  • Cheers jfd, stuart. In a more just world, Frankie's version would've been number 1, but there you go.

  • eat your heart out mr ferry

  • outstanding vocals frankie hailhail brother

  • You're more than welcome, bigpiot. I only remember it 'cos Peelie used to play it and always said it was the best version of Lennon's song. I was quite surprised to find it wasn't on Youtube, but there you go!

  • I've been trying to find this for 10 years. My vinyl version snapped in the corner of a cupboard. Thank you. Still sends a tingle up the spine.
