I don't usually go in for covers, but this is good! A room full of musicians, no autotune, no Beyonce style vocal hitches, just a woman belting out a classic Hall and Oates (or is it Hall & Oates?) song, and doing a damn good job of it, I might add.

And there's only one Monte Montgomery who plays and sings the heck out of this song. Go check out one of his shows. Make sure and check that you leave with your jaw because it will be planted firmly on the floor most of the night.
They should remove the dislike button for this song.
I'm glad I discovered Joan Osborne again the other day,hard to believe this is the same lady that sang One Of Us,her voice is beautiful on this H&O classic....love it!
I think Joan has talent, but c'mon folks, this was a very mediocre performance!
What's with the holding of the "e" instead of "i" at :48-49?? Like fingernails on a chalkboard to my ears! If you make changes to the original version, they should enhance the song, not detract from the sexy soulful groove.
With all those extremely talented musicians musicians in the room, you've got to
BRING IT JOAN~
Check out Monte Montgomery's version for someone who SERIOUSLY DELIVERS!! BABY!!!
I think she has talent, but c'mon folks, honestly, this was a very mediocre performance....
what's with the holding of "e" instead of "i" at :49??? That was like fingernails on a chalkboard to my ears...and then an awkward pause in the lyrics and then mumbles something?? All those talented musicians in that room, you've got to BRING IT JOAN!
Have you people heard Monte Montgomery's version??? OH BABY!!!
I feel Joan is one of the most underrated singers around.Love her version.Check out some of her stuff with the brothers funk.SHe can hold her own.Hope she never stops performing.
@roscoegino She does seem to be holding back most of the time, doesn't she? I think she let go on the Relish album, then had to pull back 'cause she scared too many people...
Good, nothing wrong with it. Some covers come across as improvements on the original, to me this one is more "another take" but nothing wrong with that.
When I heard the album RELISH, with the songs ST Theresa, Man in the long black coat, Pensacola and almost the whole album through she just soul-ed me away and I thought south-ish like Louisana and up pops Canada on the back cover ? Joan osborne is my very favorite singing talent. I feel her songs very deep in my soul. thank you Joan lovley work!
I've been listening to this woman for years now and can't name one singer that comes close to her soulful, god-inspired voice. What a gift to humanity.
This is a great cover..she does have soul! & if you've heard her other music u know she can blow if she wants but this was the sound she wanted and or felt.
If you like this version then you need to check out another version by a different artist It is by "Indy South Project" Went to high school with this guy. He is really good.
Keep in mind that, he recorded everything. Recorded every track, and then mixed the final version. I'm sure you won't be disapointed.
i think she has personalized it and made it her own. DH/JO ROCK it their way. I mean i like her voice but we all know she has a different vibe but i bet its amazing for DH/JO to see so many people have remade this song. I love it ...
Good for American Idol but not half the soul this song command. Thumbs up to Monte Montgomery that really nailed it. Good enough to be invited by Daryl Hall to play it in duet on his TV show "Live from Daryl's House".
well i'm not sure if she did justice to the classic...but at least it was cute seeing joan cover this one.. it wasn't bad actually... still enjoyed it =)
She has a great voice ect, ect....but good luck delivering with the same soul/passion as Daryl Hall.....Not to mention the song was based on actual life-events of his.
Joan can sing with the best of them. Check out her performances on the "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" DVD if you need some evidence! Not to mention her original classic "What if God Was One of Us".
@hoopermazing a pretty good middle of the road cover artist..? And how many hits have you had in your career? none? I guess she's got more soul and talent than you then.. just saying..
@57panrider She's a better singer than I am. That's for sure. I could play circles around her on the guitar. None of which has anything to do with the ability to recognize a mediocre cover artist. That's some kind of logical fallacy. The name escapes me at the moment, but I'm sure that you could look it up on Wikipedia.
I'm pretty certain Joan Osborne wouldn't be supporting the likes of a piece of crap like Sarah Palin. Can't believe the the bitch is asking for money on this video; thanks google. You just ruined my morning and this great song. Didn't we have enough with the eight years from the male bimbo. The last thing this country needs now is some moose killing ex-beauty queen who can see planes from Russia; the extent of her international education.
Wow. She is so multi-faceted. Wish I could find her versin of "Not while I'm around (from Sweeney Todd) ,done on Bravo does Broadway. Love everything she sings...soul,funk,pop...kinda glad she isn't a "star"...but, she has it all!!!
how I have loved every side to Joan. Somewhere out the is her singing "Not While I'm Around" from Sweeney Todd done on Bravo does Broadway. No one I know can find this. She made me cry. She is really multi-faceted!
Nice cover, but MAN, and not to take away from her obvious talent, Hall&Oates just OOOZE soul! The more I listen to them the more I appreciate their stellar songwriting and execution..
@preferre : Daryll Hall has a presence her under "LiveFromDarylsHouse" with some fabulous live sessions with a bunch of artists. He does one "Sara"on his own, and invites Monte Montgomery to play with him on another. Monte's version is a little slower and really pulls a lot out of it. If you get a chance check out the Monte solo version as well as the one with Daryl. I guess I like all the versions. lol.
First time for me listening to Joan. What a great voice! Silky, powerful, rich and solid. After all the pop junk that's plastered all over, it's nice to hear someone who can actually sing and hold a note.
@martinaxman Yea I agree and she doesn't need any "auto tune" to enhance her voice like today's bunch of "wannabe" singers do. She has great natural acoustic energy!
@Hoopermazing i guess you must be a white boy to only see that.........Joan Osborne's voice is deeper and a unique feel to it so I guess I must say you have a hile in your soul dude if you think or even worse feel that way........
@atta That is why you don't get paid to guess. If I was white, I probably wouldn't have referred to Darryl Hall as "that white boy." "White" is usually implied, but unspoken, among white folks, as they suffer under the delusion of white normativity.
@Hoopermazing I guess there is some truth to what you say. But I have seen that said from white musicians to other Wmusicians when they sing or play the blues. On a second opinion, talking about soul and feeling Joan has melowed down, yet she still got it BUT the band lacks of that wild feel to it SO I must say i agree to that much.......and Joan does not show that wild talent of hers as she used to.......
@Hoopermazing ....You must be kidding right ? Daryl's good but not even close from Joan, com' on. Daryl force his voice and do not have a natural groove... Joan has this magic "black" sould in her...
@hyperion30000 ...Daryl do not support the comparison with Joan... it's like comparing Aretha Franklin with Jennifer Lopez or Marvin Gaye to Michael Bolton.... I say again, Daryl is good but he sing soul for white guys like Michael Bolton does. You are certainly a white guy who is more sensitive to this kind of white soul closer to rock than blues (the fact that you wonder what "black" soul has to do with it say it all). It's your taste but don't insult Joan by comparing her to Daryl.
we still have talent in our country folks, just that she is underrated because she does not tart it up and try to be outragious, It's unfortunate that the lesser talents who go tto extremes dance and practically dress like Babylonian whores get all the attention+
Every song that Ms. Osborne sings she takes and makes it her own. Yet another stellar performance from one of the most underrated singers of our times.
@sarahmunch1 where were you born and raised? I remember the sticks of north Idaho where everybody is on meth and they fight for a hobby, if only the suburban soccer moms could see that.
Hey, she has ruined a great song...go get that wax syringed outta your ears...she's flat as frikin pancakes. I LIKED joan osborne until i heard this piece of crap so live with it and don't bother me with your name calling.
I didn't recognize which Holiday Inn Express they're playing. Is that Toledo? Scranton? Hopefully she can read the writing on the wall... says EXIT. Makes one embarrassed to be white.
@CCConservatory You obviously spend a lot of time at budget motels? Or pretend to? Weirdo. LOVE Joan's voice. Give her more respect, people. Never knew this song before. Love this studio clip and the CD version, too. Aaaaamazing.
@derekific -- and @novaracer.... Fine -- you love it. I (and others) don't. WTF ... are you a comment cops? Does everybody have to agree with you or you get your panties in a twist? Just maybe other people know something you don't. if you like this song, like it and leave it at that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
absolute crap....she's singing in the wrong key, the vocals are off and she has turned a great song into lounge music. Truly corny and horrible. HATE fake soul.
@potosi21, You are a fucking altra moron. What the hell do you mean "wrong key"? She's singing the same signature notes as the hall & Oates version. If you know nothing about music, and it's painfully obvious you don't, you shouldn't comment.
@novaracer1 couldn't have said it better myself ! I like and appreciate BOTH versions of this great song. Written to honor his collaborator/girlfriend of 28 years Sara Allen. (Her sister, Janna Allen, co-wrote their 2nd #1 hit "Kiss On My List." (Janna died of leukemia in 1993.)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This shit is disgusting. Take a near perfect song made from two guys that share their heart together with each other, and then turn it into this piece of crap. This is why the world is the way it is. Lack of integrity. This rendition of the song is crap ,and the people that have done this disgusting thing are crap human beings. Go write your own fucking song nit with Joan Osborne. Leave the good songs intact. Fuck me, fuck us all.
Joan Osbourne is a brilliant singer. She hit this song out of the park. It's perfect. It captures the mood and time of the original. I'm from Philly and I know!
This is such a well written song, and this live version's got a great, smooth feel to it :)

I'm a HUGE fan of hers, but this song (vocally speaking) tops any song she's ever sang. imho

we still have talent in our country folks, just that she is underrated because she does not tart it up and try to be outragious, It's unfortunate that the lesser talents who go tto extremes dance and practically dress like Babylonian whores get all the attention+

Every song that Ms. Osborne sings she takes and makes it her own. Yet another stellar performance from one of the most underrated singers of our times.

@sarahmunch1 where were you born and raised? I remember the sticks of north Idaho where everybody is on meth and they fight for a hobby, if only the suburban soccer moms could see that.

I didn't recognize which Holiday Inn Express they're playing. Is that Toledo? Scranton? Hopefully she can read the writing on the wall... says EXIT. Makes one embarrassed to be white.

@CCConservatory You obviously spend a lot of time at budget motels? Or pretend to? Weirdo. LOVE Joan's voice. Give her more respect, people. Never knew this song before. Love this studio clip and the CD version, too. Aaaaamazing.

@derekific -- and @novaracer.... Fine -- you love it. I (and others) don't. WTF ... are you a comment cops? Does everybody have to agree with you or you get your panties in a twist? Just maybe other people know something you don't. if you like this song, like it and leave it at that.

absolute crap....she's singing in the wrong key, the vocals are off and she has turned a great song into lounge music. Truly corny and horrible. HATE fake soul.
potosi21 1 year ago
@potosi21, You are a fucking altra moron. What the hell do you mean "wrong key"? She's singing the same signature notes as the hall & Oates version. If you know nothing about music, and it's painfully obvious you don't, you shouldn't comment.

@novaracer1 couldn't have said it better myself ! I like and appreciate BOTH versions of this great song. Written to honor his collaborator/girlfriend of 28 years Sara Allen. (Her sister, Janna Allen, co-wrote their 2nd #1 hit "Kiss On My List." (Janna died of leukemia in 1993.)

i know there are a lot of joan osborne fans out there.
she's talented for sure; but something is missing. there is no real distinction from other voices/singers.
mabe that's so why many of her fans feel she is overlooked.

This shit is disgusting. Take a near perfect song made from two guys that share their heart together with each other, and then turn it into this piece of crap. This is why the world is the way it is. Lack of integrity. This rendition of the song is crap ,and the people that have done this disgusting thing are crap human beings. Go write your own fucking song nit with Joan Osborne. Leave the good songs intact. Fuck me, fuck us all.

She is so good! I always liked Hall & Oats for producing amazing music. This would not be easy to sing.

Joan Osbourne is a brilliant singer. She hit this song out of the park. It's perfect. It captures the mood and time of the original. I'm from Philly and I know!
