  • HE SINGS PRETTY GOOD FOR A WHITE BOY

  • This is one of my all time favorite songs. I have listed to every version I can find by everyone you can imagine, and, with all due respect to Mr. Cooke, Gavin DeGraw tears this shite up!!! It is the most played song in my iTunes. When I thought there was no way this song could wrench anymore emotion or feeling out of me, I found this video. It is the perfect accompaniment to this song. I love this song! I love you for sharing this! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

  • AGREE WITH YOU TOTALLY!!

  • Wow not only is this song really good, but you also managed to make a really powerful video to it. Good job, I love it!

  • Loveeeeee ittttt

  • Although Sam Cooke's version still moves me to near tears.. I have to say that this version oozes with emotion.. and I love the fact that he played with the melody and the feel, instead of trying to cop Sam or Otis's performance too closely. Kudos !!!

  • @eojindc - Much, much agreed. One thing I love to search on YT is accoustic renditions of songs originally written at an upbeat tempo and/or with a more electric-based flavor, and the accoustic versions are almost always far superior. The first time I heard this track, I was utterly blown away.

  • Heard this on NPR a few weeks ago, and it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

  • @eojindc I do think it's better than Sam Cooke's, but it's not quite Otis Redding standard for me. Dangerously close though :)

  • damn. amazing. soulful...I have ridiculous chills listening to this! ...speechless!!!!

  • Love it. Fantastic rendition. Great voice.

  • Person to person moment to moment aslove ,we change the world
