Bessie Smith - "Ain't Nobody's Business" (Ukulele Cover)

A one-take wonder of Eric Clapton's version of Bessie Smith's "Ain't Nobody's Business". I loved the style in which Eric did this on his From The Cradle tour. (I love that whole LP too!)

I play this on the guitar a lot, so decided to have a go on the uke too. No multi-tracking or anything on this one, just straight to camera, with a touch of reverb and that is it. Most unlike me!

Eric's version is here:

My favorite vocal performance from you.

Thanks Seeso.

Hopefully my voice is getting a bit better. It was pretty poor when I started singing, but I'm practising lots, so I hope it's paying off :)

Wow! I am with Baron, you have an amazing voice.

Does the job involve cars with rocket launchers and secret decoder rings?

Thank you :)

completely sweet. Your voice is simply terrific. You should learn 'If I had you'. Check Nellie McKay's version here on Youtube. You'll kill with this. Your voice and style are perfect. Best and warmest wishes.

Excellent stuff, I love Bessie Smith. Ever thought of doing a cover of nobody knows you when you're down and out? Thats an excellent song too.

Your ukulele chords match Diana Ross' harmonies to this song when she is singing along to it in her bedroom as a young girl in the film Lady sings the blues.

Well done. Slightly fast imo but lovely nontheless. 5*
