Sam Sparro - Black and Gold (Radio 1 Live Lounge)

[GarageBand3]

I used to think that the drummer was a man but actually it's a woman

[omhawkins]

Utterly brilliant, what a talented guy.

[20000000000011]

what happened to sam sparro!

[Paletas22]

He makes me want to be a man just to have a chance with him

[Hotlips4000isback]

He reminds me of Jay Kay! ;)

Both brilliant singers, they should do a duet! ;)

[OneGamblor]

Great voice!

[NinjaDarkLord619]

Why is everyone on about his sexuality who cares this is f*cking awesome

[missdemeanour555]

Very talented guy but he does have 'gay face.'

[alohal3x]

PURE JAZZ!! FUCKIN JAZZ LOVE IT!!

[putrosm]

someone tell me the chords,, i'd love to play it...

[x8alexisonfire9x]

BLACK AND GOLD ITS THAT 412 NIGGA PITTSBURGH YA'LL HEAR ME

[starbshero]

Awesome. @-) Vocal quality's almost exactly like how he did it in the album. @-)

[Jasmynrj]

Amazing voice...

[CaramelCamel]

I used to think I sounded good singing this, but after hearing it all live and intimate, with his voice being smooth chocolate melting my soul, I decided that I do not sound good singing this any more. Not at all. And no one else does either.

[nathiebaby]

I've sung this live to 400 people. And I am still working to this day and this guy has fallen off the face of the earth!

I win.

[Yunero]

oh dayum i thought he was black hahaha

[HolyShit452]

first heard this song in the movie fame, love it

[nicyomo]

he kinda looks like Gok

[kenwaah]

Awesome!

[reese1990drm1]

its all about talent bro gay or not he has talent no need to get into his personal life ...

[mmyeaah]

Such a rich voice.. loved it

[MrKarlos1969]

it's not the sex or the gender... it's the person you fall for!!!!!!!

[999catherine]

he's gay???! :( :( :(

bubble burst :(

[MsFluffy1978]

good music. etc etc. wat does it matter x

[martitz548]

if he just hummed the song, I'd be happy.

I wish he weren't gay only because I want him. haha.

Any boy would be lucky to have him sing to him in bed. ;)

[basslines4x4]

he reminds me of GOK-WAN...but sam is much more talented!!

[emi190695]

:( such a shame tht he's gay, i nearly cried when i heard. he's still cute tho

[J4v3XpH4C3]

@emi190695 : Him being gay was no shock at all ... guess I have good gaydar. What I was shocked, was this was a white boy!!!! I've had this track for a couple years now, but just looked for the video last night. I thought this was a brother singing!

[BakaKoneko]

Woooh, the piano changes everythiiing

[lopik14]

Ellie Goulding did a cover for this song, both sound great

[rox20rite45]

This song is fucking SWEET!!! Who gives a shit if he's gay....he's AWESOME no matter what.

[MrLank1]

Better than the original, Sounds better with the piano in.

[jtatum80]

i am such a fan...just got hip to sam sparro but i am really diggin him...awesome live performer

[lpparanoia]

@jtatum80 same here. i barely heard black and gold 3 days ago.

[elesegerardo]

i'd do him anyday

[coconutsurvivor03]

haha seriousllyyy

[bsol07]

i love how he does his own reverb

sick as shit

[canadienne123]

Sammy Sparro pls buy good clothes!

[fallencoven]

It's cute & custom obviously because it says 2121.. like 21st century life durr

[stu19855]

LOVE this, its amazing!

[nockie123]

This is class live fair play

[coconutsurvivor03]

lovee it

[mazzerness]

love this acoustic session

[MrMisterJB]

Go ask your dad. Just because someone likes the same sex doesn't mean that they have a fucking illness. Go grow up you fucking kid. Seriously, just because they're gay they don't have something fucking wrong with them. They just attract to the same sex. Get a fucking life.

[melside]

@MrMisterJB Actually its a known fact 80% of homosexuals are truma victims. My two cousins are gay and they were raped when they were younger

[Crazycow280]

@melside them figures seem to be way out... i myself and most of my gay friend (in excess of 40) didnt have any truma what so ever, and those of my friends that have been touched or hurt that way had feelings or interests in/towards men before they were hurt

[nicyomo]

@melside wow unbelieveable

[OneGamblor]

@MrMisterJB

I have slept with 20 girls but I think he has just turned me. The only reason this guy is giving abuse about gays is because he wishes he was as good looking as Sam.

[holtytrhc]

he is not gay DOE

[theogmoneyman]

hes as fruity as they come

[BrooksCommaPhil]

he's gay, watch his interview.

[fleurrhcp]

And that is important to know because....

[BrooksCommaPhil]

@fleurrhcp someone asked...

[shifterxcom]

this is a great song ,i had a go at covering it too,check out my page and see what you think of it

[freshcheddar]

he is amazing but i jus wish he wasnt so gay. still amazing though

[lamo61]

yeah me to cause i am straight and i think he is great but man at least wear a solid color sweater thing

[scarcastic]

very modern of you

[MadKat88]

a very talented and very gay man

[shinatopes]

He is amazing hES Got such a jzzy voice

[TehBrumby]

he's brill live

[PocketAces2009]

2:53 he wentt off

good song though

[TheMusicalMaestro123]

Maybe he was doing some improvisation to differentiate from the original......

[PocketAces2009]

no hey went off key moron..

[TheMusicalMaestro123]

LESBIAN

[singer4ever1991]

[theonlycook]

I love him, he is to talented, i love the tone of his voice.

[inverness]

Hmmmmmm

Robin Thicke alike?

[Squibakou]

He's adorable...in the video he was so 'cool' but I like him better like this ^.^

[kriscokidd]

yeah i am not into the video either, i think the acoustic version kills the mainstream single.

[kavitamal12345]

fuckin amazing!

[msmcgregor]

I'm sorry, but I LOVE his glasses! In fact, I'm not sorry!

[dinkytoylover]

He's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BLOODY AMAZING has he got any concerts???

does anyone know. tap back to me

[tomzi111]

he really is bloody amazing...

a lot of these singers cant sing live because their voices are dubbed out in the studio... sam sparro is good

[Riissiie]

love thiss

[flakes1000]

musicians names??? i hate if they dont mention their names. bbc faggots.

[aztecrecordstv]

@flakes1000 Laura Fares on the drums, Charlie Wilcocks on the keys and James Stephenson on Bass :)

[MIKEYTJEISFAMOUS]

This is my new favourite song.

[aiduhhh]

his voice is gorgeous.

[wellurs]

[luckystar007]

[mramywinehouse]

[ALLDALI]

[jaymaase]

[YoungCalvinist08]

This version is waaaaaay better than the album edition

[dtoryo]

Magnificent! Thanks for the upload

[vivj123]

Songs like this are simply awesome when you strip away the electronics and go back to basic instruments!

[SurreyViolinHero]

tOTALLY AGREE.

[flakers1337]

you´re totally right, i heard the original black and gold on the radio and we made a cover the next day just acoustic guitar somehow the original is a really good basic for acoustic songs

[funk67]

Bang on friend,bang on!

[wowlovely4]

aww he is so cute when he is smiling at the end. ^____^

[saberkite]

I love how he made it jazzy. I like this better than the original (Sorry Sam hehe)

[PMatth3ws]

he has the voice of a black man

[squaralemon]

Appaz this is about God...wen u listen 2 the lyrics u can kinda see it

Great song

[forfcukssake]

[aztecrecordstv]

@ariffinwahaha Yes, her name is Laura Fares :)

[aztecrecordstv]

@ariffinwahaha Yes, Laura Fares :)

[beatrootsradioshow]

inpsires me to want to sing and write music again!

[muzzyatseaside]

i prefer this way of performing because its simpler but almost has a better effect because there are less instruments to distract you from the basics of the song

[xFiFix2k7x]

Has anyone got a Mp3 download for this? I love this song live :)

[myyKINDALOVee]

actually, he said that black and gold means the nightsky and the stars

black is the night sky

gold being the stars and i think it makes sense

LOL wierd lyrics in the beginging haha

[05smithem]

He's talking about his relationship with God, not about him creating it.

I love him and his wardrobe!:P

x

[XxluvMCR4lifexX]

he has a good voice but it has some faults

[mykingdomforakiss]

i've heard it sung note perfect - i think he's got a bit of a sore throat there. look for his acoustic performance at Glastonbury this year - faultless.

[bonnboon]

truthful .....i think he is talkong about the creater of our earth

[wallop1982jk]

YES HE IS

[wellurs]

Please check out and rate my version of this tune!

[6666666666666666666h]
