  • I'm not the jealous type,but on this occasion i'll be making an exception

  • violent

    

  • you know songs like this make feel sorry for the that weren,t on the set during the late 60's thru the early 80's. this was truly musics golden age. glad i was there for the memories.

  • Hey! I didnt know he sang this... :) This song was played in the movie Look Who's talking...

  • Words cant describe how much i love this track

  • Maaannnnnn, the vibe in this song is just sooooo... SOOOOOOUUUUULLLLLFUUULLL...

  • Lennon got killed again

  • @alpha520mec not sure what you mean by that?

  • @MightyMiguel I meant this was 100 times better than Lennon's version.

  • Woow! SO much emotion.

  • Donny Hathaway such a beautiful soul,only to tortured by those lousy demons that fuck up many greats.This is one BEST live gigs ever,unbelievable phenom...Makes me happy,makes me sad... but glad...Thanx Trejo

  • "Now the really good version (of Jealous Guy) is Donny Hathaway's, you should hear that! Very beautifully sung, he was one of the great soul singers" - Bryan Ferry (!)

  • this song is killer....what a musical legend rip donny

  • Donny Hathaway is better than Michael Jordan...

  • like it, still think lennons was better ,but i like this

  • i was born in the wrong time!!

  • @klicxiT I feel the same...

  • @klicxiT two month too early. 

  • Awesome cover

  • Got to thank Common for going on about Donny H on his 'One Day It'll all Make Sense' album, got me curious about this soul legend!

    If you haven't yet, get all the albums, 'Everything is Everything', 'Donny Hathaway', 'Extensions of a Man', the Live album and the duet with Roberta Flack: the '74 album before the the late 70s one (with God Don't like Ugly) - not enough Donny on the latter.

    Apparently he had a heavy influence on the mighty Stevie Wonder's singing style.

  • This is the best cover of a lennon song ive ever heard.

  • Man...i've heard Little ghetto boy and voices inside(everything is everything) way back..i always liked them but never bothered to check out his other songs..until a few days back and man...there's not a Donny Hathaway song on youtube (at least) that i don't like.. i'm gonna go out and search/buy all of his records for sure... Donny is the man.

  • holy! wow, i never heard this b4. just amazing. i really like this. lennon would love this no doubt

  • I am going to diarrhea all over the two people for disliking this. This is a great song! Can't stop listening! I wish this was on iTunes...

  • @NHRHS2010: Until it is, get a YouTube to MP3 converter and go hog wild converting this great song.

  • @Neville6000 First, I have never done that so I will find it confusing. Second, this is considered "file sharing" and I may get in trouble for doing this, particularly by my school (I am in college so I live in the dorms). I do not want to take a chance, but thank you anyways for the suggestion

  • @NHRHS2010 I am hoping for your sake english is your second language and you are not as retarded as your comments make you seem.

  • @shiffyboy So you're accusing me of posting retarded comments? Look whose talking! I was born in the United States and lived there my entire life but while English is originally my second language since I'm Korean who learned Korean first, I am more used to being in the English speaking world.

  • @NHRHS2010: It IS NOT file sharing, as you are actually creating a MP3 from a YouTube video and not downloading it from a file sharing site. Considering that this song is not available on iTunes at the moment, you may want to get this (it's for the Google Chrome and Rock Melt browsers, as well as Firefox and Safari.)

  • @Neville6000 Oh okay, that sounds like a better idea.

  • Just Amazing.

  • Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Truly incredible. He took one of Lennon's masterpieces and completely made it his own. Just marvelous.

  • @GiraffeColin So addictive, keep it listening again and again !

  • What a combination of power, soul, and raw energy in Donny's voice and music - he was amazing!!! And just love this version - in a way that would make John so proud. 

  • 1 person is not a jealous guy... Oh wait, that's a good thing... : (

  • He was one of a kind

  • It's a shame those nasty drug dealer's threw this man out of a window for his debts

  • @Fireball69 Open verdict returned. Maybe. Maybe not. You seem certain somehow? How so?

    Maybe Donny had just had enough. Who could blame him?

  • @Fireball69 Drug dealers? I thought he commit suicide. Apparently he had serious mental illness (RIP beautiful soul)!

  • Sam Cooke, Donny Hathaway, Luther Vandross. Stevie Wonder Will Downing all understood what what a song, especially a love song is all about. All are (were) master storytellers.

  • Tribute from one genius to another.

  • This version brought a smile to my face.

    

  • Is there a piano sheet for this? It's so good, I want to play it.

  • @ApolloSoyouz Me too...

  • Recommended by Bryan Ferry,i never heard this one.Wowie.

  • absolutely awesome thank you

  • I cannot find this song anywhere. Luckily my friend sent me this track a few years ago. Where can I buy and find the album this is from?

  • This song was originally written by Lennon and Mcartney, and the title was originally called "Child of Nature" When the Beatles broke up John took the song for his solo album and rewrote the lyrics and renamed the song "Jealous Guy". More then likely describing himself to his wife Yoko Ono after their many arguments.

  • good band behind

  • I have just laughed,one person dislikes this?...Who ever it is please just understand this is one of the greatest musicans/singers of all time...lmfao!

  • @jonnieveal: The person that does is a hard-to-satisfy Beatle fan.

  • The way they do the chorus is so on point

  • that 1 dislike please listen to what he's sayn plus to to who

  • wish this song went on for longer..

  • i just had to come by and pay my respect to this great musician and in memory of his musical contributions !!!

  • Only 1 dislike says it all.... this is real music and one person out there just doesnt know it.

  • 私は、日本人ですが、このヤバさは、ハンパないです。R.I.P

    

  • The music for this song is sick. I love it.

  • john lennon must have loved this version! yeah i saw the bryan ferry interview too, it made me look it up here, thanks BF!

  • john lennon must have loved this version!

  • He killed it!!!! I bet John Lennon was like WTF!!!!! That is the way that this song was supposed to sound. RIP to the Greatest!!

  • I have just finished watching an interview with Roxy Music's Brian Ferry. The interviewer said "You did marvellous version of Jealous Guy. He replied "If you think my version was good, you should hear the version by Donny Hathaway."

  • @BrentReyno Where did you watch it?

  • @theresalight1 @theresalight1 It was an Australian interview aired last night on ABC1. I will send you the link.

  • @theresalight1 It was an Australian interview aired last night. I will message you the link

  • @BrentReyno Can u post it maybe? I would love to see it!

  • kehrätä we aivan aimo lellitellä aivan aimo

  • Donny slays me every time. He reinvented this tune and infused so much soul into it which I think really brought it to life.

  • Incredible soulful version of the classic John Lennon song.

  • Man, this man gives me CHILLS!!! What a voice. Thank you for giving us Lalah, Donny!

  • Amen

  • Great groove on a John Lennon Song! Great interpretation.

  • Great groove on a John Lennon Song!

  • The good news is that Lalah Hathaway (Donny's daughter) is alive and is also a soul singer with a nice voice! She is now in her early 40s.

  • This one kid who disliked this video listens to nothing but Justin Bieber's songs and Rebecca Black's Friday. I (and 303 others) rather listen to REAL MUSIC like the 70s music like this one.

  • @NHRHS2010: It's most likely a hard-to-please Beatle fan.

  • RIP Cornell Dupree. We love you.

  • @NHRH2010: Because I don't think there is any real musical talent anymore! In today's music industry, you don't have to be talented to get a record contract. All you have to do is look good in front of a camera and let the sound engineers auto-tune your voice...and presto! Instant hit. It's sad really, especially for those of us who grew up listening to real musicians make real music!

  • @chio413 Yes I agree. At least the Beach Boys are still active and I even saw one of their concerts live! Out of all my peers I feel like I am the only one listening to pure "real music". On the other hand, I also have middle-aged adult friends who also agrees with me that older music is better. Sometimes when I check my Facebook I will see some statuses relating to praising Justin Bieber and similar things which makes me sick. I don't have an opinion on Bieber, though I like making fun of him

  • @NHRHS2010: Before you and chio413 come up with this BULLSHIT ASSumption (remember, 'when you assume something, you make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me') please TRY and check out your local alternative newsweekly for news of whoever might be playing at a club or venue-you never know what you might be hearing that's good. Either that, or STFU about music completely.

  • Why can't modern music be just as good??

  • This was the sound I grew up in Grandmas house listening 2......True Soul music...

  • Whoever disliked this video: buy new ears, as the ones you currently possess do not appear to be in working order. ta.

  • Doing research on Mr.Hathaway and I instantly fell in luv, I never really listened to his music knowingly its crazy his voice and skills is off the hook im in luv one of my tabs now

  • Classic. The man was so talented and was it such a great loss. What a distnictive voice that will last thru the ages.

  • Donny had a beautiful voice, but Lennon was the Genius. Donny covering this song is proof that he knew what a great tune this is.

    Donny and Sam cooke are my favorite singers but lennon/mcartney are my favorite songwriters.

  • @aknowneemus just as long as you know and give respect to the fact that both Donny and Sam Cooke were songwriters too. Sam Cooke was preparing to buy and maintain his own recording studio when he was murdered.

  • @pbarrigherAbsolutely,Donny and Sam are both on my top ten list. Strange that all 3 had tragic deaths.

  • @smogmontser he sings it better then john lennon

  • @nerdsnshape I agree. I love JL but he didn't come across as very jealous.

  • Love this!

  • That groove is insane! Gets my head nodding immediately.... genius!I've always loved this version. Long live Donny Hathaway, RIP x

  • Two of my greatest loves!!!! Beatles (well lennon) and R&B!!!!! I LOVE OLD SCHOOL R&b marvin g, Jackson 5, etc etc and I LOVE THE BEATLES

    This is seriousyl amzing

  • If I had been at this live show in 1972, I 'd have been in a puddle on the floor!

  • you tube...time tunnel...musical art gallery for the world yes, there goes another 2 hours.

  • Pure talent, Pure Soul artist ...RIP Donny Hathaway

  • One of the very few times where I like the cover better than the original!! Beautiful voice!

  • @chio413 who is the original version by? this also kinda reminds me of elton john's song benny and the jets i believe it's called...

  • @MsTeachMe1 The piano and the rythm may be the elements that remind you "Benny and the jets". Never thought of it this way, but ow I can hear it too. This tune here is more on a melodramatic tone though.

  • So this is the second best Jealous guy ive heard. Top spot would have to go to jimmy Scott, close third is Johny boy.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG

  • This song has 0 dislikes for a reason, cant stop listening to it

  • @bullseye186 I wish it still had 0 dislikes. It now has two, unfortunately. Either that it's done by people who doesn't like this song and rather listen to Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black; or that they are just trolls disliking random videos. I can't stop listening to this either! :)

  • I like this version of this song better than J. Lennons one.

  • @karlosguy2 Same here! It's unfortunate that I can't find it on iTunes.

  • Soul music ended on January 13th 1979.

  • This is an awesome, soulful cover of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy!!!" AWESOME JOB, DONNY!!!!!!!!

  • His voice is sooooooooooo ... It makes my heart hurt...

  • this is the best thing since natural tits

  • speak on it brother donny

  • What a great voice!

  • Music is at it's absolute best when one legend (Donny) admires the work of another legend (John Lennon). What results is not a simple cover or remake, but an interpretation. You don't compare the versions- you appreciate the unique skills and talents of awesome yet diverse creativity.I don't judge- I just enjoy.

  • Absolutely Awesome!!!!!!!!

  • wow, great singer. I can hear the influence he had to Stevie Wonder

  • A true soul original!!

  • THE VOICE OF A TRUE SOUL

  • My favorite!

  • Soul personified.

  • My Lord. I've never come across this before. I feel emotional! Man... version.

  • This is REAL music. No studio production. No tricks. Just talent. His voice is so rich with emotion and such a great tone. There will only be one Donny. It's so sad to think of the great music he had yet to create. The blessing is that he left behind such a great cannon of music.

  • @Lolita995

    He did not create this song.

  • Awesome rendition 

  • hey is it just me but does the intro remind anyone else of Stevie Wonder's Joy inside my tears? I know that Stevie has said that Donny influenced his music, but I had never heard this before yesterday, and i see it now.....peace happy holidays everyone :)

  • @hi12345402 You mean, you heard this song on the radio on October 9th?? If so, was it on WBGO 88.3 FM (near New York City)?

  • a pattern? Ritchie Valens The Big Bopper Buddy Holly Janis Joplin Jim Morrision John Lennon Donny Hathway Bob Marley Sam Cooke Otis Redding ... they all had something to say.
  • Just realized that his birthday just passed. I heard this song on WBGO 88.3 FM (Newark, New Jersey based jazz radio station) on the morning of Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 10:30. He could have released a lot more wonderful albums and singles if he didn't commit suicide.

  • @NHRHS2010 Many believe that he was murdered, perhaps by a powerful elite who devised this cover up. Don't believe everything that you're told..

  • @Senator1 Well whatever, some do say he was murdered, others say he killed himself. But for sure, he was not sick. He was young...in his 30s

  • So sad that Donny killed himself. Such a talent.

  • @thesuburbanelectric Hathaway's family and friend believe he was murdered. Same with Sam Cooke. Otis Redding is another conspiracy. Speak too much about revolution and black empowerment while in a position of power and see what happens...

  • @Senator1 you make a brilliant point. FYI, Cam Cooke was shot in the stomach. He was in bed with a pro. The lady of the night robbed him, stealing his wallet and tailored pants, when he went running after her, the owner of the hotel, a woman, shot him twice in the gut and was released on all charges as the prostitute was asian, young and claimed Cooke beat her. He was killed, and they were never tried, because they were women and he was a black man. Fucking sad shit man.

  • @TheJaimeification not true! do your research cooke was shot in the heart in the office of the hotel mgr. the pro robbed him & he thought he was set up... the mgr was a black woman & so was the light complexion woman he picked up earlier that day.

  • @awwyeahme2 I think you need to calm down ma'am. Do my research? Are you kidding me.

    Regardless of where, the man was shot by a black woman in a hotel after he was robbed by an asian prostitute.

    Sorry if my description was not to your liking.

    Fucking nerd. Do your own fucking research.

  • @Senator1 well it is a known fact that donny hathaway was a paranoid schizophrenic. so him being killed is less likely than him killing himself. but he was a great musician

  • @mjjcng8958 I think/suspect that you may have inadvertently stumbled into one of the many bar-room brawls that constitute debate/chat on YouTube. I *think* that the remarks were relating to the demise of Sam Cooke? Fair point you make - *but* certified looneytunes have been whacked too, y'know.

    I appreciate yor proviso "less likely". Regardless, to all Jealous Guys, Gals & people working through that emotion - a Healthy, Happy amd Prosperous New Year when it arrives for you. Keep loving. Peace.

  • @PerignonPop oh well i thought he was refering to people thinking that donny killed himself. i apologize

  • @mjjcng8958 I could have been wrong buddy, but there seemed to be a lot of such not-very-relevant 'chat' on this thread. (Pertaining to the murder of Cooke).

    No apology necessary man - all the best to you in the year to follow. Peace brother.

    Here's to clarity of communication, understanding and kindness to the afflicted...

  • @PerignonPop oh now i understand what you where saying even more now

  • @PerignonPop thank you and happy new year.

    ps. i am a girl!! lol

  • Comment removed

  • @mjjcng8958 Blindness! But of course you are. And a beautiful one too. Take care. Be Happy. Love to you. xxx

  • @PerignonPop thanks. well i hope you had a great new years day

  • mmmm gives me the chills, especially on Lennons 70th birthday. Awesome artist. Awesome soul

  • My ears feel better now. Just tried to listen to Neyo Beautiful Monster

  • I'm a HUGE Lennon fan, but I think this version has more soul and more feeling than the Lennon version. RIP to both men, sad that the world won't get to hear anything new from these legends but blessed we had them around as long as we did to get such amazing music.

  • Where can I find this song????

  • @StarlightJones It's from the "Donny Hathaway Live" LP or CD, if they are still in circulation.

  • taken it to another level!!!!!!!!!

  • lawd have mercycyc]

  • i absolutely love this song. (L)

  • Comment removed

  • hmm great voice

  • no one like donny

  • gotta love how this song sounds and grooves, out of all the songs that i've heard in my life, this is definately up there at the top! thanks for posting this!

  • Unbelievable version. My new favorite.
