Even David Letterman couldn't deny great talent. It just is what it is....

[momo22sissoko]

[ccth22]

The only people who dislike this are those who are immune to good taste in music!

[TheFashionqueen30]

[SterlingRe]

outrageous vocal performance and the band is hot. Single background singer is also killer.

[havic83]

@SterlingRe The horn section also sings background.

[choklitandmuzik]

I've been in love with Maxwell since about 1998 and I STILL want to have his babies! Love me some Maxwell

[yungmaster99]

Excellent live performance... Maxwell the Great

[KBMS2011]

Beautyful guy - great live song!

[AlexanderTheScourge]

Love this song.

[mf0526]

watched this video 100x times & i still believe that the backup vocalist looks like/is sanaa lathan

[wooger65]

Best live performance I've ever seen, Great heartfelt song. You can tell he means it when he sings it. There's a real sense of longing and regret in his voice. The backup singer is insanely pretty and amazing as well. Incredible overall.

[manriqa123]

this is a great song and anime ur a dumbass

[brusbadu]

Fantastico Maxwell ; un grande...

[somewhatlongdong]

No serious person could dislike this song. The lyrics, melody, voice. It's fantastic. I've watched Letterman for 20 years, and I've never seen him so enthusiastic about a musical performer. Be real people, this is a true talent.

[patricia18564]

I just love this man.

[NATYSHADY831]

Dynastyhooper ur comment made my day haha

[TheBaby49]

He's amazing....I love his music....I can listen to him all night and day....

[LOVECOOLTAMJ]

Love this performance and he is so humble...

[GoonX1]

this is music

[somewhatlongdong]

he's underrated.

[coryet1986]

awesome performance! he has an old school style that is so unique right now. cant wait for the next album.

[redblackndwhite]

He sounds even better live.. smh.

[aGwEENapple]

Mhm, so amazing! =)

I love Maxwell's voice and it would be an amazing experience for me to see him live.

[Shawty453]

Oh my, this guy could make any woman fall in love with him <3

[jonathan919]

speachless

[wapazed1]

This right here is REAL music

[anime2841]

[dyuphed]

@anime2841

[sunnystone01]

LaTina Webb is rockin that retro hairstyle. What can u say about Maxwell except umm yummy,yummy!

[PurpleBeeBaby]

Damn the lyrics of this song are **WOW** i don't even have a word to describe it hmmmm Maxwell is an extraordinary artiste

[Mr80years]

maxweel is new marvin gaye

[graysonveronica41]

Maxwell & Mariah needs a duet

[Vitaluv]

His back up singer is so on point. He is so on point. And she was in the same video Woman's Work when he did it live for that legendary performance.

[npgdrums]

Man, whoever disliked this, I just feel sorry for you guys!!!!!

[MSHRPC]

That's a rare reaction from Dave. Even old white guys can appreciate the soul.

[movieslickstaar]

The Riff At 3:21 Oh Yeaaaah :)

[yrwmanagement]

Awesome Awesome Awesome performance!!! He sounds and look great!!!

[blkbeast1980]

I just watched this video right after i watched his previous performance on letter man of his song "lifetime" in 2001 and he's got the same band too, that is dedication to the team that's backing him. and he still sounds amazing

[Harusan80]

welcome back maxwell...its been a long time but now you're back..im a very big fan of our music. thanks

[BigMTBrain]

Maxwell always picks up Princes slack, or vice versa, (or not) depending on whichever way you want to view each of those mega-talented artists. To me, the short, course scream and the emphatic gravelly part near the end are Prince trademarks. Regardless... BEAUTIFULLY DONE!!!

[TheBaby49]

Maxwell, I love your music you are so sexy....YOU can sing to me anytime!

[KyleJones101]

listen to this then go to a nobody BRANDON HINES PRETTY WINGS 10000 better

[1murkeybadmayn]

the melody on ''pretty wings'' at 1:25 is just celestial i swer

[beatbambop]

sooo good. also, anyone check out the new single from Raphael Saadiq? stone rollin - pretty awesome if you like maxwell...

[TheSession57]

[Ihateeminem1985]

What a GREAT artist!!!!!!!!!!!

[bitchee]

fucking smooth as.

[Beyoncefan1000]

Omg I just got pregnant and I was just looking at him sing lmao!!!

[SterlingRe]

This vocal performance is nothing short of spectacular. There aren't enough superlatives to describe Maxwell. This is a clinic and his stage presence is just icing on the cake.The background vocalist is fantastic as well.

[alj453]

he kind of lost it hes not the same as before... but still u great artist

[paulpin2]

One of the best live songs I ever heard, his one of that artist if I would love to work with, a real a soul singer. He's has done some wails that you can never hear enough... Paul Pin2

[jamskaterjoe1]

Great performance!

[NOSUGREFM]

Let's hope he doesn't go away for that long again.

[joanacrisologo]

maxwell would be amazing in bed

[DynastyHooper]

[Dada8282]

@diamondie14 I kn ow right there is something about the melody in his voice <3

[mrjazzycharon2]

I'm falling in love with that female background singer!

[BeTheChange408]

@mrjazzycharon2

LIKEWISE.

[jrobinso]

Misheard lyrics: 'your pretty wangs'. lol/. give it up for derrick hodge on bass, though!

[LeadResonance]

this performance is not understated nor overstated... it's just right... 

[SuperRoss83]

real music, im enjoying it to the fullest

[sneeks71]

Is it just me or are all of Maxwell's best performances on Letterman? Simply amazing...

[Jaheed23]

Artists like just dont get the recognition they deserve! beautiful voice!

[RichyEs]

[chidokays]

amazing voice, his sooooo sexy

[dmh200]

[Moog168]

@dmh200 Yup! 

[realgood2nite]

Maxwell is getting old.

[VAswang]

@realgood2nite What!

[cousinbebop]

@realgood2nite Someone give this guy a prize.

[Munchanda123]

[o0blubblub0o]

i love the song sang by daley

[obiwashere]

when you get a "how bout them guys" you know you had a great performance.ha

[IcebergSlim1978]

Love it! Real singing, real musicians. Such a textured sound. You can FEEL it.

[tlaalsrud204]

Maxwell truly deserves to be called as "singer". This is just mind blowing.

[jvjames1]

there are so many layers to this song. lost love, detachment, but a deep abididng love forever, betrayel, regret, sacrifice, sexual inuendo, hope, the list goes on, truly amazing.

[linda6691]

@jvjames1 Well put and I totally agree :-)

[ciarafan]

love love love it maxwell you still lookin good!

[c3p024]

one of those days where dave letterman appreciate the performer so bad

[Paymenow]

Just wow.

[greentymesha]

i love this

[c3p024]

Maxwell my man

[SHERE501]

OMG!!!! I'M FALLIN IN LUV ALL OVA AGAIN THANKS TO THIS SONG THANK U MAXWELL 4 UR TALENT AWESOME.

[cocobear33]

she was the same background singer when he sang womans work live , i think he might be banging that

[cballday10]

@cocobear33 how do you know that hahha

[cocobear33]

@cballday10 , just look at the video where he sings women work live and look at the female back up singer , the two of them look like the same person

[somewhatlongdong]

This, people, is raw, natural talent. Just amazing.

[Spinzett]

"alcoholharmony" <--- go to his channel

This kid sings this song, and he doesnt put maxwell to shame or anything but his cover completely blows anyone elses out of the water.

His runs/riffs are incredible too.

[Shawty453]

Everything about this performance was so classy. Love it!

[ounishaxoxo]

It's possible that god will kill all 15 cunts that dislike this video

[anjelita32]

he's beautiful!

[MrScans1]

This cat can leave 4 another 7 yrs and still be relevant.

[ChocolateDipzz0930]

@MrScans1 Dunknooee.. Tell em again so Tru!

[experiment0003]

@MrScans1 that's what you get when you make real music! I'm sure the sad thing is tired of being relevant!

[denilsonda]

Epic

Not only he sings his heart out, but Maxwell feels the music

It just can't get better than this

[elic2real]

ok so they arent words!!!!! in the middle he isn't saying any words . Li ta ta ta be ti

[tyresesbby]

Sounds like hes losing his voice.. "/ But hes one of the most amazing and talented singers out there. anyone who disagrees, should tell me one MALE singer who can hit the notes he can get. hes truely one of the best

[karenstube]

oh so cheesy and oh so love every second of it :)

[MZLIBRA1969]

HOW CAN ONE BE SO IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE THAT THEY MAY NEVER MEETL (SIIIGGGGGHHHHHHHH)

[smilnrt]

it is as if he is pouring out his soul to us in a live performance. you have to at least appreciate that, even you are not a fan!!!

[craziestbxboy]

real shit! he got it!!!

[loveMusic7556]

thats a singer! <3

[queenray1]

This band is amazing, to sing background and then pull up your instrument and play during the same song is nuts, ive seen Maxwell2009 and 2010 and the band is awesome, of course Maxwell is great as well

[shersham11]

Earlier his voice was too good..Now it seems that he has smoked lots of cigarett during these 8 years............

[kenzeliano]

my sister know his manager she said he is very humble and soft spoken guy. I'm just thankful that there's still a talented people in music industry.

[Mariposa1431]

You Cant Find Music Like This Anymore!!...Pure Talent :)

[jaialover5]

Listen to Javon's Notice me Live

[Jinglebombgirl]

that song is sooooo calming!

[Sublimation99]

Nowadays you cannot find better!

[blackclassics]

I'll have to say. Most musical acts on Letterman sound really good.

[cudder2313]

@blackclassics im gonna sound like a nerd, but with all the other tv studios that host talk shows, lettermans has the best acoustics lol

[albertobitten]

Eu tambem gosto muito desse cara. Sua musicas me tranquilizam. Gostaria que ele fizesse shows no Brasil.

[GIANNAKESIA]

AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DE PAIXAO ESSE HOMEM.CANTA E ENCANTA!!!

[redlandsdavis]

Who is the fine sista singing background vocals.... wow!

[ranhill]

3:07

If Madea could sing, this what she would sound like.

[Raysuna]

He DID that!!!

[marce35164]

Hey I am an old school music lover, but this is hot.. Love his voice.

[darcskies777]

THe backup singer is prettttttty herself.

[drowndeep1]

@darcskies777 i agree, Latina has such poise and grace..very classy young lady..love you Maxwell

[PhillyScorpio83]

Dude is a soul singer!! I cant even lie...lol

[xxxBellexxx]

if you dont like something why are you watching it? maxwell is one of the sexiest most talented people ....so shut up and stop disliking!!

[babygurl112]

your face will be the reason I smile...

[thickgurl78]

omg i love it

[CrassieTrassieNZ]

omg 3:30 - 3:35 Maxwell's ending is classic!

[BrownReggie]

yay for the only white guy in the band!!!

[Steadno]

@BrownReggie maxwell is part white himself

[michaboa]

@Steadno , not that it matters but he is not

[Steadno]

@michaboa most of us blacks in the americas have some european. his dad was from puerto rico which pretty much all mixed.

[michaboa]

@Steadno , if you mean tit in that regard. then yes

[mycaribeat]

@Steadno His half haitian half puerto rican

[kareemtiheed]

@mycaribeat this is gonna sound crazy but his chin is haitian shaped...

[SterlingRe]

Maxwell is insane, but listen to this while focusing on the background vocalist only. She is amazing. You simply can't use background vocals any more precise than this. She and the whole band are money.

[SuperKk25]

i love maxwell baby i love you too

[denobeesun]

His band is freakin sick! Incredible!!

[RocketGirlEleven11]

Really miss this kind of good music!! Maxwell, Maxwell, Maxwell!!! Glad you're back to sing to us!!

[HeatGuyJB]

Instant classic. This song is insane!

[Winter412]

he tore that song up! go on maxwell, been your fan since i first heard you! in 1997, and never stop buying your records, people stole my unplugg three times now? i have to buy it again, but i sure got black summer night! love you maxwell!1 in my book far as singers today love you Maxwell! forever.

[SosaAcevedo]

I fall in love over and over again...everytime I hear his voice. Boricua!

[denobeesun]

Amazing voice! Band is off the hook...

[funkateerkitty]

I think I am in Madd Love wit Maxwell :)

I'll just wait until NO ONE wants him...

Then I'm comin 4 U Maxwell '-'

N U can sing 2 me everyday...

[Winter412]

@funkateerkitty everyone one far as mostly females feel the same way!

[funkateerkitty]

@Winter412 Well I hope by the time we all get old...

That I can run the fastest in MY Walker!

Cuz I'm comin 4 him...

Hah!

[MegaMCDee]

I love you Maxwell. Your hot stuff. I would say "shit" but I have respect for you as a man.

[ritediva86]

I just love this mans voice



[SterlingRe]

There is no current male performer who can touch Maxwell's voice and stage charisma. He's crazy good and in this genre there is no close second for male vocalists.

[funkateerkitty]

@SterlingRe I agree wit U totally...Someone just sent me here and I think he is BADD N Super FLYY!!!

Lovin how he can go up and down the scale wit such ease.

What a Sexy guy!

[unionboy69]

MAXWELL.......MAXWELLL ALL I CAN SAY .........

[Panamaschild]

I'd love to trade places with his microphone stand for just one performance lol!
