Just heard him at Jazz Alley in Seattle Sept 2011. Looking a little older but still the coolest dude there is. He's the best listener I've ever heard. I mean he listens to the band and the music intensely-that's why his intonation and phrasing are impeccable!
My roomate turned me on to Franks waaay back in the 80's when Sade just came out...he said this cat's the male version of Sade. As a devout Metal-head and musican my whole life, I instantly heard the amazing song writting, play on words and fantastic musicianship (yes Metal-heads are big on quality players regardless of their styles....we just love METAL) Passion Fruit is what I mostly played when I was'nt screwing a slut. Thanks to my cool roomate, I expanded my sphere of music & girls!
Just saw Michael Franks in Richmond at Fridays at Sunset, always great, with Veronica Nunn (Great combo). One of my all time favs for years. Go Lotus Blossom!
i grew up listening to Michael Franks on the black radio stations here in Chicago. they need to bring this music back instead of todays garbage real talk.
I first heard Michael years ago, when music still was found on vinyl discs.--showing my age, I guess. Anyway, he was cool then. My music store friends back then said, "Hey, you got to hear this guy. He's great. He sings kinda' slow, like he's on ludes, but he's cool." I've been in love with this cat's music ever since. Anytime I'm in a down mood, I always find something from Michael that serves as a balm.
hhhmm....don't know about this rendition because of the similarity to flurazepam and Ambien; I'll have to try it next time I'm still awake at 3 a.m. Talented songwriter though.
Feast your ears on one of the masters of composition, chord progressions and arrangements in comtemporary music in your lifetime. Can we PLEASE have a radio station in the NYC area play this quality music instead of the garbage we now have. Franks, Chuck Loeb, Fattburger, Steve Laury, Gregg Karukas, Sanborn.....and many, many more....well you get the picture.
my dad use to play his music when I was growing up...at first thought he was some type of weirdo but then I heard "WHEN SLY CALLs" and Ive loved him ever since
I have been a fan of his for over 30 yrs! His voice is so soothing and I always enjoy hearing his music. I played one of his songs for my 15 yr son and he even likes it. Hope to hear even more from him! He's great!!!
The only 2 men I know that have unique voices that are rare: Donald Fagan and Michael Franks. I would love to hear them both come together on one song. That would be a "Must Hear." (If it hasn't already been done).
what a great song! I've been a fan for decades and I never grow tired of Michael Franks! He's right up there with Steely Dan (my all-time fave) in my book!
I beg to differ with all the older folks who think all young people listen to is Carrie underwood and others. I grew up on steely dan, earl klugh, and michael franks and still appreciate and listen to their music and i'm only 18!
Nah, legend. If i want relaxing sound I listen to the ocean, not this guy. He is overrated to the max. He doesn't sing, he talks his way through a song. No vibrato, ever, and a pitiful tonal range, and absolutely no dynamic range. A total crashing bore. Every dang song sounds the same.
C'mon crap dawg. The dude's a legend and his style wouldn't resonate with a lot of the younger crowd that loves the Daughtrys, the Nickelbacks, the Underwoods, etc. This type of music was when there was a such thing as "relaxing sound". Franks good and will always be. Gotta broaden your horizons a little brah.
that's so ignorant...where have gone the idols from that pathetic show?nada... I think that you better need to do your homework before you say anything...and if you don't have anything good to say...just zip lock your rotten mouth for good...hehehe..crappybitterioldmoron :))
Hey I'm just tellingthe truth...if you don't want to believe it, that's up to you. Carrie Underwood has an audience at least 50 times larger than this no-talent snoozefest. And so does Daughtry. Franks is a washed up has-been who never really was anything.
Sorry, but Franks wouldn't make it past the first audition. Cowell would toss him out. He's a sonic sleeping pill! Every song sounds exactly the same. Once you've heard one song by him, you've heard them all. No range, no dynamics - the same boring monotone. This guy just sucks.
Wow! Thanks for posting this it brings back sooo many memories. I was about 11 when this came out and his voice used to tickle me. My dad would laugh because my eyes would get big and bright when one of his songs would come on :)
is he dead? i thought he died from cancer some where in the mid 90s or something like that, would some on help me out and tell me if he's dead or alive?
is he dead? i thought he died from cancer some where in the mid 90s or something like that, would some on help me out and tell me if he's dead or alive?
Is it just me but is John Mayer trying to grab some of Michael's stardust. Michael has no equal as far as 'cool' goes. Miles Davis had it and so does Michael. Check out his "Heart Like an Open Book". Masterful.
If i remember, John Mayer 's based on blues and in my opinion it is a limited form of music. He will never go as far as M Franks using the blues format.
I would download it if I knew how to. I could buy it and listen to it but it wouldn't be on YT. I need learn how to download the audio & visual. I hope one day soon..... :-)
This man is awesome. I have loved him forever and wish he would make a come back. I spent many nites with a drink of cognac, a good book and Michael playing softly in the background.
I first heard Michael Franks in Shoppers Drug Mart, of all places. It was this song too. When I listened to his albums, I couldn't believe that I'd never come across him before. Awesome!!
Great musician!..One of a kind....Michael needs "something" on his LIVE gigs......His stage deportant DOESN'T match his musical ability............He Is one of the BEST and has GREAT potential for 2009!!
Love Michael Franks! been fun playing with my dual monitors- one monitor Youtube playing michael, the second monitor lyrics websites singing along. finally i get all the little lyrics I have been missing! thanks for the upload

I am so GRATEFUL FOR THE TALENT OF MICHAEL FRANKS. AND... I am grateful for every single person in his life that encouraged him to pursue his music!

Had a chance to see him at Paul's Mall on Boylston St. in Boston back in '75 or so. My car broke down on the way to the show...never got another chance. Thanks for the vid.
The video to this song was featured on Jazz It Up on VH-1 or BET Jazz several years ago. As far as I know, it was my first time hearing anything by Michael. I started getting as many of his songs as I could, right away. He's great!
If you've ever seen the video, I think the moodiness and mystery of the people on the streets fit the song perfectly. Of course, that's my opinion.
OMG !!! I FREAKIN LOVE THIS SONG. I REMEMBER THIS WHEN I WAS A KID.
IM 37 NOW.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT LIVE VERSION.
DEFINITLEY ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME.

The video to this song was featured on Jazz It Up on VH-1 or BET Jazz several years ago. As far as I know, it was my first time hearing anything by Michael. I started getting as many of his songs as I could, right away. He's great!
If you've ever seen the video, I think the moodiness and mystery of the people on the streets fit the song perfectly. Of course, that's my opinion.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the video. Great! Michael's coming to Detroit this month, I think the first time in a few years.
