I think I'm responsible for 11,000 of the 11,802 views of this can't get enough...wish this was on i tunes so I could put it on my ipod :(

[jPapa2008]

Marks been my Hero since I started picking up the bass, wonder why he is losing that emotion cuz' this cover is like bunch of druck guys singing with no taste of even the buzz.

[FFS10001]

He still does it for me and Toots just made it more fab. Thanks for posting it.

[williambasel]

BASS~

[avik382]

love this version!

[SvendBosanvovski]

From the bottom of my heart, thanks Mark. It needs to be said, and said again, that Toots is one of the most important musicians of the past 50 years. There will never be another musician capable of doing what he has and is continuing to do.

[batmanyey]

OMG!  this is awesome!!!!!!!!!

[frankinsanebass]

I beg to differ - at 1:22 is a slip that would not have been overlooked...

[jvhowellsRVF]

@frankinsanebass Well my dear you obviously have never played live in your life!!! Especially with someone you looked up to!!! Actually you probably have never played at all!!! Cuz a real musician would never make a remark like this on a LIVE performance!!!!!! Or Maybe you are a Demi God and never ever make mistakes!!!!!!!!!

[frankinsanebass]

@jvhowellsRVF I have to admit I don't recall making such an out of context remark. Quite honestly I am not sure why i would even make such a remark. No offense intended to you or anyone else who appreciates this video. It's another Ryan quality post and I too absolutely love it!

Peace

[patterncutter]

Mark was pretty emotional there at the end, and you can't fake the look on his face. Just a great musical moment.

I wish I could download the audio of this somehow, somewhere. Any ideas?

[kikayei]

I used my i-river mp3 player to record this vidio's audio in real time. I worked like a charm.

[rikmg]

I love this song, ta.

[Ry42Back]

Thank you my friend it is a great song played by great musicians.

[kansas07]

I thought about us for a long, long time

[Yogurt2345]

Incredible ! :)

[CesMan83]

Wow, very nice...I think a lot of people took Mark's vocals for granted...as much as I really love his bass-playing, I dig his singing as well

[beckenbauers]

I am very surprised that Mark played with Toots live. This is really cool!

Did you note Toots looking at Mark at 1:23 when he plays a bum note?

[underligmand]

Det er fandema godt smækket bøtten op! HAHA Ligesom dronneren, den dag jeg dyttede af hende på Kgs Nyt.

[76alembic]

Great song ,Mark and Toots ,who would of thought.I saw Todd on the Mid night special ,when this was on the radio and I was a young teen1.

[gdv42]

I heard that Marks dream would be to have Todd Rundgren produce an album for him. Love this version, matches the Isleys, which I have always loved. Thanks for posting Ryan.

[Ry42Back]

You are so welcome thanks for your comments.

[beckenbauers]

I was not aware that Mark ever played with legendary Toots Thielemans.

This is so beautiful!!

[richard42]

in a word ........"fantastic" !

[Beatles4President]

THIS IS THE GREATEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!! love this song! todd rundgren! wow. thanks for posting this. i just wanna take mark home! :)

[Renko42]

Wow....this is great! What a song and what a performance! The look in Mark's face when Toots Thielemans shows up......Great to see!

Thanks for posting this, Ry42Back!

[alembicbassman]

Is he using his Fender Jazz signature in this? I tried one of these at my local music shop. Cool bass, but pricey.

[Ry42Back]

Hi Man yes he is using a Fender jazz deluxe MK sig but he stopped playing them because of their weight impraticality.

Mark found thier weight so unbalanced and as soon as he let go of the bass the headstock headed straight for the floor.

It sounds nice but there you go.

[angelboyman]

Must be his frame because I have number 22 and I have no problems with neck dive

[Ry42Back]

Could be Angelboyman one man's meat is another man's poison so they say.

[GerryCoyle]

Wow,that is just cool as hell.

3 of my all time fav muso's....
