Hi All, I am an Aussie soul/blues singer and a BIG fan of Raul Midon. I heard this track on the radio and couldn't get to the record store quick enough. Hope you take the time to check out my channel and enjoy what I do. Best wishes- John

[stang869]

He has all the making of a music legend. He sounds like Al Jarreau

[rodolfmm]

[ageshero]

Cool as hell.

He's More Amazing when you watch live.... c:

[andreasoutitoudhs]

just perfect!!!

[pisse3000]

Pulling the strings of my heart..<3

[dcase15]

That;s what i call "i play the guitar"

[amirfuadh]

Hahahaha! I thought it was a real trumpet until I watched this vid! Awesome!

[Gilh4]

@amirfuadh Same haha

[Martyemar]

AMAZING - This makes me nostalgic for the days when artists sounded exactly the same or better in person than they did on the recording. No "studio magic" - just pure talent and passion.

[Obidibidou]

@Martyemar .I hear ya Boss ! This is real Talent ! The comparisons could be made ?... but ...I would'nt make 'em ! Thanks to all... for all vids .!!!

[Molake]

Many thanks and blessings antony810 for introducing us to this treasure. We can never get enought of INSPIRATIONAL and talented artis such as Raul. You and Raul have truly blessed the earth. Ase Iyalorisa Oyasegun

[goldenbutterflies]

He's so talented that he doesnt need anything, just guitar and voice.

When I listen to him I feel like I am the blind, not him.

[isatetereduite]

i saw him yesterday in Jazzajuan in France, he was invinted by Marcus Miller. AMAZING :D i love his trompet solos with his mouth!

[duducode]

A man that is so blind, can see s many emotions in his instrument. Amazing! #sópramascarar

[spinaker38]

Holy crap!!!

How such a talent ain't more know all over the world instead of these fukin david guetta!

My god of rythm.

[chocotrini1]

he is amazing!!!!

[xxmaxpachaxx]

Jlai vue en Live Il est Extras

[mastersedu78]

I saw Raul Midon in concert at the Kennedy Center two weeks ago. This video does no justice!! He is an amazing and extremely talented artist. He should be way more popular. I didn't his voice was the trumpet It sounded so authentic.

[DeMiLiA501]

Raul you are so wonderful, I love your music. And you are so inspiring I wish I can watch your live concert.

[tigresuave11]

Jazz is so under-rated. Its all about this brainless club music now but its good to see some people still know what real music is.

[xjorieke]

@tigresuave11 couldn't agree more :)

[janbahan]

he a real hero

[daniebchuckles]

a blind man can see what others cant

[lyfejay]

love this song

[TheBSG]

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that maybe Raul's a non-theist? Despite the gospel roots, his lyrics have a peculator human spirituality that specifically shies away from faith-based beliefs. Maybe I'm just projecting?

[Bluddydaath666]

saw him 5-7-10 and it was nothing short of AMAZING!! SIIK AXE skills!!

[pks28]

He is awesome!

[scribe2006]

Raul is only getting started, inspiring, mind-blowing.

[Weirder88]

he rocks

[por1millon]

queremos tocar contigo!!!!algun dia......... gracias por tu onda ,eres unico raul.un abrazo hermano.

[megalordcartman]

dont know if you know, but this guy is blind.

[wannabefun]

Dude.. Wth.. His playing is so intense, and being able to play like that whilst singing like that? This guy's a legend

[SeanBlaum75]

i saw him for the first time on an episode of emeril live. Great stuff.........this guy's guitar playing is SICK....love it

[emilyringstrom]

Man, am I mad that I missed him at the Stockholm Jazz Festival, last summer...! Hope I'll get another chance!

[batdavmusique]

ouaw le groove !!!!!

[HandiAce]

3:05 who needs a trumpet?

[d33sert5torm]

@HandiAce he does.. thats why he uses his mouth xD

[GoranAlic]

Wonderfull...

[iNQUIZZ]

Look forward to him coming to town next spring. I hear he is great Live

[CarlosDan]

Awesome performance.

[bluechorus]

A man that is so blind, can see so many emotions in his instrument. Amazing!

[spirogrinder2]

@bluechorus is he blind?!

[Michal950117]

well, this song is amazing.

however i'm pretty sure that, there are tabs for this song.

[AfroDiggiAct]

wonder what he looks like without a hat and glasses..........hummmm guess i will never know....

[silversilver1975]

Great!

[0NonZens0]

Simply adorable. Though I think Ill never touch my guitar again... ;)

[MentalMirus]

@0NonZens0 Well that won't do you any good...

[kingeys]

YEAH!

[pritainta]

[Plautzewitz]

Hahaha what the f... this is great!

[NicaAno]

He is awesome live!! I was fortunate enough to see him LIVE for FREE! Wow! What a performance to remember; and I even saw a shooting star that night! Uh! A one man show with so much substance, as well! One of the best talents out there fa sure! Very soulful.

[Cu1t06]

yeah he is great!

[antonef888]

u know i hate to say this but he seems to sound better live, like his studio stuff is overproduced. amazing none the less, worship and adore....

[lowriderbandfan]

@antonef888, you are only saying the truth. Raul is one of those rare artists you MUST see live. Peace.

[Michal950117]

he's awesome, does anyone have tabs for this song? thank you ver much ;)

[Jyezrah]

I'm pretty sure he just lets his soul pour out onto the strings. Can you find tabs for that?

[TreTheSnoo]

He is incredible.

[MommaElin]

When you live from the heart, this is what you get: full potential!

[oneild14]

he is freaking amazing

[petmaster495]

I just LOVE the way he plays that guitar!!!! Very unique. I just NEED to get one of his CDs...

[ArtFesti]

This GUY is a BAD ASS M**r F***K**

[tokelimusic]

singin' heart and soul like heat and grindin' fun. lovin' him long time.

[anuszka1103]

Raul is AMAZING! I wish I could sing like Him ;)

[kindhumansoul]

Al Jareau reborn

[tikitiki10]

[Collision065]

[hung0sowell]

the brotha is a baddddd mannnnn

[viktha07]

speachless

[HarryKeari]

Asif the guys blind aswell, fair play.

[BEEware187]

a real virtuoso. just awesome...

[wabisabi41]

すごい★

曲もすごく良い♪

[nancyl2]

I see other humans focus on the ass like poor Oprah, they never leve her ass alone.< god this guy is soooo great. Thrills the soul.

[Kanako123]

oooh the trumpet thing he does with his mouth is cool O.O

[Saya246]

0.0 i thought he used a real trumpet... this dude has got some reall skills....GO HEAD WIT UR BAD ASS SELF RAUL!!!!!!!!

[stargate669]

dude why are you focusing on his ass. Listen to the music and please leave his ass alone.

[kellflo]

...i think you missed the point...saya246 wasn't literally talking bout his ass...

[jackjtang]

much better version than the album recording!

[ASpartan69]

He's got a fantastic voice, impeccable guitar talent and his trumpet isn't half bad either. haha. It leaves me puzzled why he isn't more well known. Oh well, I still love his music.

[stargate669]

why should it leave you puzzled. Talent always goes unnoticed and only crap is bought and appreciated hence the creation of America.

[megerber]

you don't need to be a dick

[happyplace1]

I disagree... i want him to be a dick - provides me with "light entertainment"

[laffingman21]

yeah basically.

[AndieMeasure]

@ASpartan69

"It leaves me puzzled why he isn't more well known"

It doesn't matter how many people know him...It matters if he's known by the RIGHT people.. :)

Raul....wonderful musician...inspiration for all...

[GangstaRapperin]

wow hammer lied

that's right, absolutely amazing!! i love this song :)

[talili87]

absolutely amazing...i love this man

[ArekkusuOS]

Blind man power! Who is the real blind here? He or us?

[stargate669]

dude he used to be a taxi driver with Stevie Wonder and as a passenger of theirs for many years I can tell you I'm so glad he's making a living playing guitar now.

[mgangster123]

this man is a genius!!

especially live!

[daDEXO]

Sitting in the middle of the ones i love "nothing else matters"? haha u rock Raul Hetfield..

[kcapnij]

daDEXO, was that your attempt at making a pun?

[daDEXO]

Yes, it was. so fucking what!?(u get it?) haha..

[tripletxtreme]

was anyone else utterly blown away when they realized that the damn trumpet noise was coming from the man himself? I quite nearly pissy-ed myself in utter ecstasy. Raul is some kind of a genius, he is.

[shreklookalike]

I play the "invisible" trumpet myself -- much better than the real trumpet I attempted to play in jr. high school -- but I couldn't believe anyone would actually do that in an actual performance. This dude is beyond cool.

[Thystonius]

yes, I heard him from a CD from one of my best friends at first, got quite hooked already. Later looked him up on YouTube and was like, ok, blind, AND then this fricking trumpet with his mouth?!

[ufck1]

I look up to this guy dude....I wanna be able to play like that one day.....even though I'm sure i'll never be as good as him...he's simply one of the best musicians on my list...that includes Jason Mraz,John Mayer,Eric Clapton and The Eagles....He's there....in my top 5 haha

[bloodypudding]

That you did not mention DMB before Mayer is shocking and unacceptable. Shame on you.

[ufck1]

Wow I didn't really know about DMB...but I looked up...Its the type of music I love dude.....He kinda sounds like John Mayer singing right ?....anyways thanks for telling me about DMB ...I love it

[dogshit71]

ROCK ON!

[grownnbass]

I think that he himself has forgot he is blind...lmao...the man is amazing and he makes me wanna put down my bass...

[rrkorb]

bom de mais

perfeito.

[greengas]

don't forget he's blind

[darkwatcher56]

I think guy is great and all , but I prefer Andy Mckee , now there is a guy who has a gift for the acoustic guitar.

[frail0124]

andy mckee is sick, but raul midon is blind from birth. he taught himself how to play like that BLIND man.

[goldensleeves]

what does Andy Mckee have to do with this video??? I mean if you go on a date with a pretty girl and say, "you're pretty but I prefer Pamela Anderson"?? I mean, it's just irrelevant!!! Andy Mckee has nothing to do with this video. This is Raul Midon!! He's great!!

[quathar]

I like oranges.

[murthax72]

Nice performance. Guy has a crazy sense of rhythm! Also love the faux trumpet with his lips. Had seen Keller Williams do it and someone turned me on to this guy (not that thier styles are anywhere similar). Gonna grab some studio work and check it out.

[tremike238]

I use to pass this song over when I first got this song. Now it is one of my favorites.

[xpvistafella]

one of my favorite songs..i love it amazing talent raul midon

[Kaya18]

My guitar hero...

No one can beat him on acoustic guitar!!!

[tk100]

his slapping technique is one of a kind.

You can still check out many other inspiring guitarist on youtube like john mayer, andy mckee, oshio kotaro, depapepe duet...

[superduperlover]

have a look at justin king...... i might like him.... he doesnt sing but acoustic he is amazing!

[DaSqweeg]

WooooooW

[54spiritedwill54]

pure legend

[freakkitchen123]

how can anyone not respect what this man can do.

[johankelber]

You are amazing. Well done and keep on doing the right thing... Love to meet you someday...

[piankhy123]

SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!

[Shembeatz]

He have godly voice

[jokerswwwild]

Man he's the best. Check his "HE!" at 3:43 like he can't believe it himself! like saying "geez that one was pretty good" lol

[gribouts]

gosh! I love it !

[APOSTLETHEFUTURE]

죽여준다, 역시 미동

[12mina10]

えええーーーーー！！！

[Franciz27]

I am so in love with him!

[piimouss92]

nice tribute of donny hathaway . both of them are genius

[NMusiqNSoul]

Raul is a great talent!

[sdCorinne]

I saw him live when he opened for Jason Mraz a couple years ago. Shockingly amazing.

[fightklub101]

wow!

[m0nst3rfr3ak]

This guy is one of the best and most passionate musicians i have ever had the pleasure of hearing. He'll go far.

[PINE469]

Hook Raul and Butterscotch up and they would take over the world!

[mat2376]

Please, this guy pisses all over Butterscotch...!!! Hook them up? Brother you is smoking way to much Bud..!!

[gotheaaea]

hice una version de este tema en el bass por q me encanta... Aguante la argentina, buenisimo el video de ejemplos ritmicos y nombras a la argentina... Aguante tu musica man, y venite para aca q te esperamos sos tremendo

[persini]

exelent

[familyhero]

blind people really hear the world differently than us.they are all ear.

[silvermist200]

its like im waiting in the subway for a train back home in nyc. this guy better not have one of those goddamn scandals that ruins careers. awesome sound.

[andregriff]

He shares the Innervision of Stevie and Ray. Raul is one of those talrnts that will endure. Astounding!

[jerely04]

i crave seeing passion in its rawest form. he is astounding and he's not as big as he will be in about a year or so. this guy has a very passionate heart and that usually gets people in high places...usually. thanks raul, for sharing your passion

[wuhwuh77]

Truly inspiring

[xchelex]

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH - I love you!

The most amazing talent I have ever heard, the modern day Stevie!

[soulkidver2]

this guy is gonna win a grammy one day :)

[heavypapa007]

sittin in the middle with the ones i love, this is true music everyone, i enjoyed listening 2 this song big time...u go rauuuuuuuuuul.england is listening ha.

[VoodooChile68]

Stevie Wonder yes, but also a major Michael Hedges (RIP) influence. This is brilliant. Imagine that-a real, live musician. A dying breed. Go get 'em Raul!!

[misshaq]

This song is beautiful. I saw Garth Fagen students dance to it and it was so inspirational.

[shunnoro]

Absolute brilliance. You're right, he is the Stevie Wonder of Guitar.
