  • I thought he was Al Greene for a sec...

  • This is a jam right here!

  • Pandora brought me here.... this dude MURDERED Marvin Gaye's - Inner City Blues! I thought it was Marvin himself if it wasn't for a few subtle nuances in his voice.

  • The Dude can really SANG!!!

  • my mom thought she was listening to al green when she heard this song.. lol :) this is one of my favorite songs by him.

    

  • i love marc broussard and this is his worst song. it sucks he had to remake an al green song to get any airtime. he literally has 20 songs better than this

  • @Chrisfathead And saying this is his worse is saying something because this is a pretty good rendition. BUT I LOVE MARC BROUSSARD! I've been a fan since 2004.

  • Already a fan of Marc and his incredible voice...even a bigger fan after seeing this video. Nothing against the guys who get all the attention but, a voice like this should definitely be out there more than it is.

  • I just clicked on the video and was like "holy shit he is white"

  • @TheFlexQuest

    Lmao.

    I thought he was black too.

    I love this song though.

  • Marc Broussard is AWESOME!!!!!!! SING IT BABY!

  • this video is sooooo great!

  • I grew up with Marc, Everyone always said he'd make it big in music. Granted we weren't Good good friends, I'm sure he would remember me. My girlfriend and me would always go to his shows at the crawfish fest and mardi gras at Cajun field. Alot of his songs are the soundtrack to My younger years

  • this guy has more talent in his little pinkie than any of the high pressure blitz marketing, Facebooked Disney talent ghosts who scare the radio zombie dj's

  • This is a Fantastic Interpretation.

    He's humble & sincere. I very much enjoy his music.

    I'm going to have to go see him LIVE one day.......

  • Great job on this song! Marc is a fantastic entertainer. Loved his tour!

  • this is good, i mean it's really good, but it ain't al  green

  • Go see him live...you will NOT regret it...I promise you!

  • this song is a pipe layer! it's as good as the original and that's tough to do

  • JUST SOOOOO SOULFUL...GO MARC !!!!!!!

  • My last name is broussard! =)

  • But its good to get the younger people exposed to great music. Maybe one day someone will say, "He didn't originally write that song". Then maybe a new youngling will then learn who Al Green was. I don't think it's such a bad thing.

  • Nothing special compared with the original version.

  • Oh hell why hasn't he blown the lid off the entertainment industry???? Saw a write up in the Dallas Morning News and decided to check him out. Itunes is about to get overheated!! Checked out his song "Home". Freakin rocks!

  • not bad

  • OMG! When I heard the first little thingys, the chords I snapped my head to the tv really quick. lol He sounds like him! Awesome!

  • you can hear the bayou soul...however he speaks that soul is born and bred in him. It comes straight from the dirty swamps. those beautiful dirty swamps!

  • The beginning is amazing!! I love it <3

  • Comment removed

  • This white boy got sooo much soul!! 

  • @clineflu420

    haha are you black? cause all black guys says to the whites, that they are white xDD

  • Nothing original. Al Green did arrangements and vocal inflections first and better. Compare Aretha's "Don't Play That Song" to the original by Ben E. King, same with her version of Bridge Over Troubled Water. Wilson Pickett totally flipped "Hey Jude" with Duane Allman's help. This is no different than Mary J. Blige singing over Rose Royce original track.

  • @luvureally Damn, you seriously can't just shut the fuck up and listen to the song. Wow, so what if the arrangements are the same. Maybe he didn't wanna mess up a good thanggg. Calm down. He sounds awesome!

  • Sweet! Old school music from a young up & comer! Lovin it!

  • What a kick ass song

  • He really sounds good but I give points for originality, and he basically just did a real good Al Green impersonation.

  • It is a good day, try to find good Latino girl rockmycity.info

  • He's just a good old southern boy singing and playing his guitar. I bet he gets more playing time down here than he does up there.

  • awsome just awsome

  • dude on the horn is gettin down @ 2:17 lol

  • Amazing how the Holy Spirit can sing right on through Al Green and then this "white"boy!!! "Love and Happines...see each other all the way with victory"

  • This is AWESOME!!

  • I still get off on this song, after all these years.

  • Gah, I LOVE his voice.

  • WOW...*BRINGING IT ON*...thanks...!!!

  • Feel good music...right?

  • Nice cover and I really like the video.

  • linda voz

  • @muziqlyfe96 THAT GUY KILLS IT LOL

  • poor Al Green he must be crying in heven right now

  • @callshadow3 He is still alive...hehe....

  • @yakuzelizard he is :O then he must be spinning in his bed

  • @callshadow3 Al Green ain't dead.

  • Oh man, I didn't know he covered this... So good!

  • If you dig Marc Broussard, please check out Layden Robinson! Love the Whtie Soul! Cheers, Bruce.

  • I give you 10 out of 5 stars, which is 200%! :-P That video was cool too!

  • It's an Al Green voice alike but not look alike!

  • My exact thoughts, WOW

  • Marc stays true to original cuts on cover tunes and plays honor to the original artists.

  • I saw this video on VH1 soul and fell totally in love. This dude has an amazingly beautiful soulful voice. And the video is sooo cute! Why is it that those who are truly gifted musically rarely become megastars, but ppl like Akon, whose voice makes me cringe, makes millions? Pish! Buying his album...doing my part!

  • @poohbeardaedukder Ah you just put into words what I think about everyday!! . Support for who we love, here here ! Got his album too

  • Fantastic! Nice Al Green soubd. This guy is great with one of the best voices lately ever heard! 10 stars if it were up to me!!!

  • oh god i love his voice.

  • I wish he would get more air play. Having been in radio for the past 17 years, the politics of the business get in the way entirely too much! It's sad to see talentless pieces of crap like Justin Bieber get all of the attention!

  • @AMOUTDOORS - Amen

  • @AMOUTDOORS I really feel you, however, Justin Bieber is just a child, but the kid can sing. His vocal potential is head and shoulders above Marc's at his age. But yeah, the kid gets on my damn nerves.

  • @AMOUTDOORS HELLO. Speak child, SPEAK!  You said something there!!!!

  • @AMOUTDOORS Listen, bitch you can't just go and put down other artists. Fuck you. Justin is awesome and so is this guy. Justin HAAAASSSSS soul! And has talent. Can't you say something nice about one person without insulting another. Just becus YOU don't like him doesn't mean he's talentless. Calm your tits, this type of music isn't going anywhere so stop crying about it.

  • Oh shit..white people got soul too.  Gotdamn!!!

  • @AmazingWayz07 Damn! Damn! Damn! Green-eyed soul right there! lol

  • @AmazingWayz07 U made me LMFAO!!!!!

  • this is the best cover I have EVER heard. Love this guy right here.

  • @amrthediva I agree. Though NO ONE could ever replace the original, this is pretty damned close right here! When I first heard this, I thought, "Damn, vh1 soul is playing old hits. That's cool." Imagine my surprise when I see this young white guy singing. I was wowed.

  • Comment removed

  • I promise--if I didn't know better--nobody would ever convince me that Al Green wasn't singing this. JCS

  • Marc has such an incredible voice! If you ever have the chance to see him live- DO IT!!! He's even better live!

  • @Tink2127 : He does have a great voice. I'll bet he has incredible stage presence too.

  • His stage presence is almost overwhelming! He really feels his music and he sings, the audience feels what he's singing about. It's like you feel exactly what he's feeling.

  • that just feels like the original. Great music, great video. 5*

  • One of the best remakes I have heard. Thats hard to do, keep it up Marc!

  • hihi

  • as great as this song is, Al green is the original wonder.

  • Oh, no doubt, Al Green remains the master, but this is the best version of the song I've heard since David Sanborn's version from his live album STRAIGHT TO THE HEART.

  • Marc is the man. I met him in Louisville Kentucky. He is one of the most humble nice guys I have ever met. Mind you I maybe drunk writing this, still this boy has soul you should never question.

  • Oh, yea, by the way, the Ab is a MINOR chord. its an Abminor

  • boring what's the point. i can see playing this live but to go to all the trouble of recording and a video that can't come close to al green I just say whatever..

  • Love him he needs to come to HOT ATLANTA!!!!! What a rock'n nite that will be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Geez, I feel so lucky to be related to him :D CARENCRO PRIDE!!!

  • Thank u Juliasblues he will work!!! The other artist my music flows differly from me

  • he needs ta come preform at greenville.

  • My mother had this song on her window media and I listened to it and I happen to liked it very much.=P

  • white boy wit soul ;]

  • If you like him, then you should check out jonny Lang, they sound so much a like

  • lmao! they're not even fuckin close!

  • Wow! A friend just told me to look this guy up.. <3 it! Just went through a bunch of his other stuff before I came across this one...sounds just like Al Green imo!!

  • I don't know why people continue to sleep on this dude...I have dug him for a while now...

  • Been loving him for years!!! More people should know this man!! He is all over. Sang the song for the NBA finals last year. Baddest white man I know!!!

  • Next to Robin Thicke

  • someone tab this out

  • Holy Mithras.Why is this guy not ALL OVER. It has been a LONG time since I have enjoyed a voice so much ,without the intervention of some form of Some plant*smirk* .We are playing this guy all over Vail,Aspen and Denver! Rock on with your bad self!

  • seeing marc tonite again! Can't wait!! Its gonna rock!

  • You must have went to Festival de International, huh? I got so wasted there, lol

  • wauw Al Green the second!!!!!

    wonderfull voice!!!!

  • wait this isn't al green??

    damn, sounds exactly the same!

  • good job..

  • Sounds exactly like Al Green's. I would just buy Green's!

  • Very few people could do this cover as well as Al Green. Awesome stuff. It is one of my all time favorite tunes. Al Green is still the king. But it is nice to see that soul does come in all shapes and colors. Here is a perfect example. Hall & Oates is another.

  • sexy

  • i saw marc do this cover on saturday night and he brought down the house! what a voice. what a man.

  • Nice cover Mark. I'm sure Al Green was very proud.

  • I think you've done a great honor to Mr. Green, keep being soulful!

  • Good cover, but I still think Al Green fills the gaps better using the keyboard and horns, it just feels more fluid. But really, really accurate cover that does the original justice.

  • Damn my brutha, Al Gren has got to be proud of you! Great to know Soul music is not dead. Now if we can just get it back on Top 40 Radio again. Also enjoyed the remake of Stevie Wonder's "You Met Your Match" I never thought anyone could do it like Stevie did, you may have done it better!

    Dave Bussard

  • lovely

  • Hell  yes!

  • Where's the concert you're goning to?

  • interesting =] pretty sweet xox

  • I just booked him for the Burke Mountain Music Festival in Vermont on 9/13! Are you kidding?? This guy's incredible!

  • All I can say is...He has got his MOJO working overtime.

  • for seriously! lol

  • he played at my LAKE tonight...in mission viejo california...he came all the way from New Orleans and he put on an AMAZING show oh my word...AMAZING

  • I'm gonna see him in concert with Sara Barielles and Raining Jane!

  • Just saw him on METV in Austin. Man, this dude is great!

  • It's just recently I've heard this song at a bar...I finally had to watch the monitor to see who's doing the singing. Flipping heck, I'm so bloody impress and I've gott'a track down this CD. I've never heard of this bloke up until now... Rev Al Green, stand back...Marc Broussard in now in the house. Great sound mate...

  • Cool (effective) video; great song! Well done.

    Steve

  • This man can blow! I mean, Al Green is one of the greatest soul singers of all time and this guys is right up there with him. You go, boy!

  • Nice cover, I'm sure the Reverend Al Green was proud.

  • This dude is off the hook. Sings is almost (almost that is) as good as AL Greene does

  • Man, white boy's got soul. :p

    No, but seriously, really fantastic.

  • he makes me proud to be from cajun country too haha...

  • Omigosh, I listened to this CD *all* day driving around in my car. So full of awesome! Hopefully I can find some more vids from this CD of Marc's! He deserves *so* much more play time on the radio, his talent is *amazing*! Thanks for posting this :) 5*s and it's getting a solid spot in my Playlist. Not that I'm a YT star but if just one person benefits from his music, job done! Thanks again!

  • Hot Damn, this boy can SANG!!! Yes I said sang, not sing.

  • Love this version. Does anyone know the barre chords he is playing during the chorus? I've seen tabs that suggest he's playing D7, C7, and B, but it doesn't look like that's what he's playing here.

  • Dude, you don't even have the roots right, tell him to go have his ear retuned. The roots are E, Eb, Ab and that matches the basic fingering. As for exactly what version of the chords, I don't know WHICH E and Eb he's playing without doing a little homework but the Ab looks pretty much straight up Ab major.

  • Well, I don't know what He's playing on the video, but the chord arrangements are E9, Ebmaj, Ab.

    and of course theres a Bmajor, B7 and a F#maj on the song. Of course, that was Al's version. Since this cover sounds IDENTICAL to the original, they should have the same chord changes.

  • AMEN!!

  • Ya know what sooo cool about this guy? He's got sooo much soul in his voice and lrts be honest ,,he makes us white boys look soooo good!!!!

  • Fabulous rendition of Al Green's song...one of my favorites.

  • i saw marc broussard at B.B. Kings and not only is he an amazing performer, he actually sounds better live than on record. there are only a handful of singers who can actually sing live like they sound on their album; if you ever are or were lucky enough to hear him live, you will know how amazing he is

  • If u go to Mark's mySpace & read his history, u will see that he wants 2 expose a new generation 2 Al Green and other SOULFUL artists. He is dedicated to keepin' the music as close to the original as possible. Does a mighty fine job of it, wouldn't u agree? Fresh,positive, and smokin' hot!!!

  • the guy playing saxophone in the back, rocking it

  • Makes you feel good all over!

  • Pretty impressive that they did that all in one cut.

  • amazing talent !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this guy rocks. glad i saw him on T101

  • so what if its a rip off have you thought that maybe he likes Al Green and just wanted to remake it for a new generation. imiation is the best form a flattery

  • I love the part when they walk into the "Love" side of the room and they're still wearing they're red clothes! It's awesome!

  • This guy's voice is like dope. I'm totally hooked.

  • I cannot get enough of marc, but that couple is sure awkward

  • C'est Bon!! Marc is from "petite ville" I'm from Carencro Louisiana! Ca fais mon couer sauter!! I am so proud of you!! Lais le bon temp rouler Chere'

  • fantastic!!!
