[brokeauthor]

@THROCKSFULable *sigh* yeah, the black singer from the 70's...that was Candi Station...you should look this stuff up before you make yourself look like an idiot...just some advice for the future.

[Sweetest662]

Bones <3 I cried so much at that scene in 5x22, and this song is perfect for that, it was so sad!!!! Luckily now it all turned out well =)

[heartz500]

I love this song especially when I'm sleeping. His voice is so soothing

[Marymackie]

Yep, Bones.

[LyricFrEaK34]

Is Adele in this?

[chloeunklebob]

@LyricFrEaK34 no the voice is very very similar but its actually the woman from candi station. one eskimo sampled her vocals for the chorus. x

[THROCKSFULable]

@LyricFrEaK34 *sigh* no. The girl singer is actually a black singer from the 70's

[mrdave22]

my bad, harlan howard, the writer of "she called me baby" recorded it first.

Patsy Cline did it a year later,

[sheshakin247]

This song gives me goosebumps.....absolutely love the lyrics and arrrangement with Candi....a treat for my soul.......thank you<3

[rudiannkris]

Thumbs up if Bones brought you here. :)

Amy MaDonald made a big mistake letting go of her Bass player & Drummer...I'm sure they're happy playing in this band.

[stndgfrm]

INCREDIBLE BAND! A neighbor just recommended them tonight and I'd never heard of them before until tonight! LOVE IT!

[TexArcher]

Heard this on the radio in Austin, Texas and remembered why I live in Austin fucking Texas. Never heard anything like this back in Houston. Tremendous band.

thanks for posting.

[campbell2113]

Love this song!!!

[henrifouquet]

I'm laughing at all the "Kohl's" comments - that's exactly where I heard this song and fell in love! This is a great duet.

[dexterdweebz]

I heard this song at Kohls. And I loved it ever since

[kimskinz]

they get the female vocals from the orignal cover of the song by candi staton, the original is by patsy cline

[bac6771]

thx emmanisms! then who does the 'he called me baby...etc...bit? ha ha! stumped you now!! xB

[watergirl2000]

Kandi v. Amazing... Thoughts?

[emmanisms]

sad song yet beautiful....

[bac6771]

Why don't they feature the female vocalist in this? Nor did they on some crap-ass late night show. LOVE these guys, ntl.!

[emmanisms]

@bac6771 they have no female vocalist

[BeautyByBffs22]

love this song!

[PrankLocalCalls]

[ar15shrty]

Watched a rerun of Bones last night and heard this tune....good tune.

[Gillanfan89]

What's wrong with this singer ???????????

[pml22]

The lamest song I've heard in years.

[gh777gh]

This is so beautiful. So beautiful. 

[paolamiano]

[sfgirl28]

BONES brought me here as well ;)

[x0xFREAKSHOWx0x]

This was played at my grandma's funeral yesterday, it was heartbreaking </3 I miss her so much :(

[jamster70]

@x0xFREAKSHOWx0x how sad. i'm so sorry for your loss. :(

[tenpop101]

Was sittin in Kohls while wife was tryin on clothes, Then this song came on--couldnt get it outta my head!! Kohls need more of this kinda stuff to listen to. Wife could try on clothes all day, I wouldnt care.

[DeidraBeee]

@tenpop101 I work at Kohls & I hear this song every freaking day! It's always stuck in my head. It was driving me crazy not knowing the name or who sang it. Glad I found it :)

[classicchick100]

@DeidraBeee Same thing with me except I work at Chili's...lol. :)

[KatamiRashisato]

@DeidraBeee ME TOO!!!!!!

[siggledoone]

@DeidraBeee

I work at Kohls too and that's where I fell in love with this song. Wish they would play more like it - would make our day a lot more easier to bear!

[BEEYKAH]

@DeidraBeee omg same here i work at kohls toooo. and i hear this song and all i can do is siiing this =]!

[sithlordssss]

i heard this song on Bones recently (netflix bebe!) and this was the first song from the show that made me investigate.

[TheStreetlightFan]

Really? REALLY? This is quite possibly the worst song I've ever heard. Seriously.

[gdbannister]

A nice song, but it'd be a lot weaker without the Candi Staton sampling.

[TheOneTheOnly5155]

Amazing song!

[ferhnino]

The one that goes "He called me baby" sounds like David Choi lol

[WildScruffyShiz]

woaahh now that is soul! they are bringing soul back!

i <3 soul machines

[180904kev]

just bought the cd tremendos

[STANKER0345]

I think the song is good. original lyrics mixed with a song written over 50 years ago makes a great story. I think the title "Kandi" is a reference to the singer that is sampled. Her name is Candi Staton.

[sexkittenno1]

i dont think enough people have heard them :( if it wasn't for the radio station i listen to at work, then i probably havent had heard this awesome song!

[dizzaztergirl]

WCLZ radio brought me here :) Heard this driving home from work last year & still love listening to it. 

[meow4hasel4]

thunbs up if y0u found this on bones

[juicyluckysmile]

Ok so I hear this song everyday at work. I work at JCPenney and this is my jam to get me through my day. I get excited when it comes on, it's a damn good song and it sounds better when they sing it anyway.

[MysPhi16]

where does the title 'kandi' come from?

[sandrofrei1]

@MysPhi16 ...from the one of the various versions of this song. It's a defacto classic that evolved with generations (keep your comments, i'm just stating the irrefutable fact that it's still here after 50years)...It's a reference to a version from the 70s by a band called Candi Station...the original was from 1961, Patsi Klein made it popular.

[dunkyvid]

sweet baby jesus, coldplay have a lot to answer for...

[leo87272]

Who is the female singer I can hear? It sounds like Adele...

[iAfua]

@leo87272 it's from the sample. candi staton -he called me baby

[hapy1]

Whew.. what a song~ love it..

perfect just perfect!

[evapooha58]

I just can't get this song out of my head. Patsy Kline, Tennessee Ernie Ford...etc have done this song, but none move me like this version.

[Onigokko1]

Amazing

[19lovesmusic]

how does this song not have more than a million viewers?! It's amazing!

[tulllguy]

@19lovesmusic b/c it's a terrible song

[XIIJordaanIIX]

kristian leontiou was better as a solo artist.

[tulllguy]

awful

[carez12395]

@tulllguy ur mom was awful...in bed! sorry, I just had to do it...but yeah, you suck monkey balls, go die in a ditch, ect.

[murcuryvapor]

"I got Two Turntables and a Microphone"



[murcuryvapor]

(And REM's storyboard notebook) 

[mrsangelpugh]

I can listen to this song over and over and over....it's that good! My favorite part is ...Does my love ever touch you does my love ever reach you? It's never enough, why is it never enough?

[MacPiaras]

Best song everrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!! That's all I have to say. Thank you and goodnight.

[tulllguy]

@MacPiaras you have bad taste

[honnybun14220]

@tulllguy maybe they were typing awful-ly good and hit enter too soon..........

[cilurian]

I'm 44 and my 32 yr old husband just passed away - we loved this song not b/c of infidelity but b/c it's a great song. The male vocal so,so needing to know what went down,the female vocal admitting what went down. My baby is gone forevever,never to be called baby, baby,baby again. Never felt so much pain.

[cc77005]

I had my heart broken 25 years ago. This song takes me right back to that very moment. She left and married in a very short time.

[TheFishtrap]

@cc77005 You've got better built character. She left in fear of it and her shallow ego didn't have the ba... to tell you. You have no worries my friend. And if you still carry it, you're at fault.

[nelson44092]

It's a stupid thing to pull these videos. After listening to the song here on YouTube I immediately went to Amazon to purchase a copy. The quality of audio is exceptionally better on the .mp3 that I PURCHASED. I probably would not have heard this song on radio because I don't listen to radio.

[LittleMisSilverRings]

they played here at the brewing company and i didnt get to see it! >.<

[Gatorzzz09]

AMAZING

[TheFishtrap]

KICK AAAASSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So jealous, in that how can someone even think up such "cool factor'??? This guy is sick! a freak! "The" cool factor. Hopefully you all have checked out this sings cool factor sister-Amazing. Gotta go. Gotta go play it again!!!

[blueeyedbrain]

All smiles from this one :o)

[cj74sa]

this version is the most simple , and best sounding. I didn't know it went back so far as a song, I thought it was a new song . WOW.

[jimmbobb]

AMAZINGNESS!!!! great sample job, good music, and the lead singer's voice is unique and amazing!!!

[Jennamber15]

Is adele singing the womans part?

[jimmbobb]

@Jennamber15 sounds like it but it's a sample of Candi Staton from 1971 (he called me baby)

[mimigification]

WOW!!!

[Bommali08]

Such a beautiful song.

I can feel the pain- heartbreak pain :(

[modestoguy73]

BRILLIANT sampling of a 1971 Candi Staton remake of a Patsy Cline song.. (got all that??)

[mendolady1]

this is so beautiful..wonderful lyrics...amazing voices. I could hear it over and over..filled with deep heart and soul.....love it!!!

[mandyinseattle]

This song really does something to me. It makes me cry and both breaks my heart and makes me want to dance. The band has some great energy, really nice people and consummate musicians. I can't stop listening, and they're EASY ON THE EYES, for sure. The singer reminds me of Dave Gahan.

[4654girl]

we heard this song in kohls about a week ago, and we just found out who sang it.

[Xcig]

@4654girl .....that is where i first herd it also!! very much in love with it!

[Xcig]

@4654girl i heard it first at kohl's too, been in love with it ever since!

[sallycinnamonm]

Heard this song for the first time in Kohl's (a department store) today. Love it!

[ane404738]

The singer, he has one album when he was solo, that album is truly amazing, those of you who know Kristian leontiou' music and or the whole album know what i mean, and this band is truly amazing

[homercheese1]

im in love with this song lol!

[grrrraaawwwrrrr]

i love this song. It reminds me of of a love i lost.

[sidneyp13]

yea i saw the jimmy kemmel show, and stopped dead in my tracks man. What a killer groove, and a voice that just speaks to the soul. I can relate to that pain, cant wait to spread these guys around to my peeps

[DeNitaDawn]

saw them on jimmy kimmel instantly fell in love w the songs and sould. only to realize i had heard it before total Bones fan:)

[AlcinoustheXIIth]

KKXT introduces me to such wonderful music. My favorite radio station by far!

[Jonny454]

This song touches the soul. Its haunting.

[KamiKazeBliss]

THE BEST!

[morgankuehn]

So orgasmic.

[ruthimiel]

BONES brought me here.

[DeaMartinjonis]

@ruthimiel and me, too!

[melmo75]

@chillphil27 I think it is Candi Staton, it's a sample.

[chillphil27]

Who is the woman featured in the song? I know its taken from Candi Staton song, but she is not singing the vocals here. anyone know who is?

[sandiswarmer]

Wish that Candi Station was in this song too, singing live. But it is realy good anyway.....but who is Joe?

[callahanco]

I can't believe there aren't more comments on how absolutely HOT Christian is! Also, Christian is my favorite name for a man.

This is currently my favorite song of all songs. I love how they transpose the vocals from the old Kandi Stanton song from the 70's (?)

[BlueDunk3]

@callahanco

Oh yes, he is!! And I love his voice. It's sad there are no more songs from his earlier times allowed on youtube.

But he is written with a K. Kristian. :)

[toriano33]

DAMN! Ok so I remember hearing this song on the radio in my car months ago and the RDS(radio data system) in my car said the song was by One Eskimo, I wrote it down and forgot about it. I just found that paper again. came in the house and put my headphones on to listen to it again... DAMN!!! He sung his ass on on this!!

[thecaproni100]

Wow..! beautiful..!!! fantastic Song, fantastic vocals... just knockout ..!!!!,

[ebmordecai]

Okay...I'm in love with this song!!

[ohmygoditsryan]

opening is reminiscent of 'dreams' by the everly brothers. its one of those tracks you like and can't get to the bottom of why.

[wizard1067]

Patsy Cline or not, the line "He called me baby, baby, all night long", and I'm thinking the reason behind the name for the song, is because it's from a Candy Stanton song. That's the opening line to the song.

[KERRYBABE007]

i love this song...heard it playing @ kohls

[naynay0510]

This song is AMAZING!!!

[il2adly]

yuppp, found my new favorite songgg!♥

[hillford29]

Heard this first on Bones last year, brilliant song, looked them up and bought the album, its bloody brilliant, every song is great, listen to "The Chosen One, its my favourite!

[dfgtryful]

Need a women here you go ** rockmycity.info **

[vicfrommich]

this song was originaly done by the late Pasty Cline. Under a different title and never released due to her sudden death. Kudos for her song and One EskimO for covering it this very well. mazing is another fave of mine as well.

[msalrighta]

@vicfrommich This song is NOT a cover of the Patsy Cline song - it merely shares the line "He called me Baby all night long." The rest of the lyrics/music are TOTALLY different. Cline's song is about a woman who misses her man. This song is about a woman who cheats on her man.

[vicfrommich]

this song was originaly done by the late Pasty Cline. Under a different title and never released due to her sudden death. Kudos for her song and One EskimO for covering it thi well.

[debrakayc]

Saw them on Ellen today, instantly hooked.

[swangelica]

What a soulful voice!! Havent heard anything like this in a while. These guys are my new favorite band!!

[NurseChrisie]

That lead singer is a hottie!

[jimwit008]

Close your eyes & this song is Dishwallla meets David Gray. Love it!

[11sugarmagnolia]

[tubby405]

I could listen to his voice all day and this song all night

[JoeNJ2]

One of the few songs from this century so far that doesn't suck;

[melmo75]

@AlcoholLevel There is nothing about your sentence that I could ever like.

[AlcoholLevel]

[treasurebeauty]

I love this song...It reminds me of a gorgeous guy...I should have married him.....
