I love how he doesn't try to do a note for note interpretation of this classic. He sounds like he is quite the Billy Stewart fan as well as a Jackie Wilson fan with the tongue trills. I would never have thought to put that in...I like his energy!!
@eeeewd33 Really sung? Instead of acting like a butthurt Wilson pseudo-purist, how about you let the guy interpret the song however he wants? There's nothing more lame than a tribute that's just another carbon copy of the original song. Oh no wait there is; going around the internet whining about "butchering" , in the context of music that eons beyond what you ever could bring to the table yourself, is even more lame....
@eeewd33, With an artist that has the goods, like James Hunter, I'd rather hear a spirited stripped down cover that captures the spirit of the original than some rote recreation. Michael Bolton singing Percy Sledge, that's butchery, not this. To each his own but I dig the scat shouts and trills. If you were in the club where this went down and weren't digging it there, I'd wager you weren't going to get laid.
Oh yeah ..saw James and the Boys , at the Hollywood Bowl ..they brought the place down..
Very Kool...thx

this is what a cover should be - he makes it his own but at the same time retains the sensuality and vocal range which makes the original so awesome.

You guys have now added a chuckle to my already considerable enjoyment of said BRRRRPPS in this performance.
