Back in the 70's not everyone could go to a concert so we toured the local clubs campgrounds and found a lot of guys like this. The record companies have only so many slots for the music machine called the music industry. Check out your local talent you may be surprised what you find. One thing for sure guys like this play for the simple love of it.
And Clarence - Thanks for sharing your love. Great cover.
this guy is a true musician. just completely happy to stand in the street playing and singing. this guy has more soul than any of these phony pieces of shit on the radio today. so good.
nice, besides having that powerful voice, you can see from where he's standing that he's using those cement and metal walls as a natural resonator to amplify the voice. this guy can sing!
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE.TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. NOW YOU'VE STARTED READING THIS. DON'T STOP. THIS IS SO FREAKY. 1. say your name 10 times 2. say your mom's name 5 times 3. say your crushes name 3 times 4. paste this to 4 other songs. if you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Fri. but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck
how did you get to put this video on? my band does a cover to this song but they wont let the audio play. i disputed it with the "fair use" and it worked for a little while but they took the sound again.????
@delaatstev8 -- Yes, I know. I was replying to a comment that said Clarence had no rhythm. I think he's deluded and must be living under a rock if he hasn't heard him lately.:)
I was picturing him singing with a full band behind him. Why he is on the streets is beyond me, but i'd like to be singing like that, when they pass me the mic.
I have a karaoke birthday party coming up, and maybe i'm being nervous, but what if he was singing a different song beside the simple song of 'hotel california' - what if he had a vocalist and a band. To each their own opinion.
He used to release dance records as CB Milton, always thought he had a great voice but this really shows it off! Check out 'Send me an angel', one of his hits from 1993
@TheCanadianIndian he's playing some of the first songs you learn on guitar, also the hand playing the rhythm on the guitar, is doing one of the most simple rhythms playable on guitar.
if your saying this guy has rhythm, you must be referring to his singing, which isn't as much rhythmic anyways. all in all, i understand why he's on the street, and not in a studio ( doing cover in a studio get out of here )
@mukkohaha i guess i am referring to his singing and persona. Could you play and sing like him? I take it your are just playing some of the first songs and hand playing a guitar. Whatever you are, you are too far from me.
@mukkohaha It's all good. Don't be sorry - life is too short. I used to watch my Dad play and sing when he gets company over. I tried to copy him but I disovered I am not that verbal. I can play but i don't have a nerve in my body to entertain in a small crowd.
@TheCanadianIndian, he's a Eurodance artist known as CB Milton in the 90's. Now he's playing with Playing for Change, a interesting mix of people out of the whole world who play together. Fabulous!
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARYBECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKs
@radioneuro Esse cara é um cracasso de bola. Ele não pode ficar disperdiçado em Amsterdã (se é pra ficar disperdiçado, antes Amsterdã que Belo Horizonte) ele deveria gravrar discos e tocar no mundo inteiro...
I've seen Playing For Change twice now and have to say that Clarence Bekker can project his voice like no one I've ever heard before. Actually ALL the vocalists in PFC have voices that sound like they're coming straight from heaven!
This I what I wanna hear on the radio instead of lady gaga
