Very cool that this brother is honoring Bill Withers. I love the whole 70s theme. And Lalah is bringing it as usual. Makes me wanna move to Cali and hang out in the sunshine.
Very well done! I play this version often. Not a day goes by that Lovely Day doesn't bubble up in my spirit in some form! One of the greatest songs EVER😄 and you honored Bill Withers with your soulful voices! Thanks!💕
A great cover, José does it justice. One of my favourite Bill Withers songs, because the lyrics of this song have a deep meaning, if you really understand them. Plus the melody and the groove is outstanding. Bill Withers, master of simplicity, yet delivering a strong message with his songs.
Pure 🔥🔥🔥 This song is a wonderful tribute to Mr. Bill Withers. Love the 70's vibe! Love this duet! It makes you think about everything that is lovely and good about God and His entire creation! I say this as my four year old granddaughter is sleeping on my lap. This guy is one smooth gentleman! Love that I found him while scrolling through videos the other day. Thanks Lalah for contributing to make the song perfect. Yes, it's a LOVELY day!
Mr James. Your voice is so unique! Your singing style, your personal style, your groove, your character is a top class. I feel very privileged to be able to listen to you singing live in Sete, France, Vilnius, Lithuania, at Ronnie Scott’s in London and other venues in England. You rock! Thank you so much for what you bring to the music world. Love and Light ❤️
Just saw Jose James perform on the Blue Note Jazz Cruise 2023. He’s a great artist in addition to being a true historian of Jazz! We are blessed that this gifted man accepted the baton and is running the race now. Bravo Mr. James (he turned 45 on the cruise) - keep running! ❤☮️✨
@@TheJester134 Lalah (correct spelling for her nickname since she was named after her mom, Eulaulah, is also the daughter of musical legend and incredible singer, Donny Hathaway.
@@ankihansen2489 GFY, douchetool! Was I talking to you? No ... so GTFOH. That's not a typo. They spelled her name the way they thought it was spelled. I gave the correct spelling so they would know the next time. That's called respect. Something your parents obviously didn't teach you. Something you obviously need to learn.
I never heard of Jose James before finding this video. He has a nice voice and does a good rendition of Bill Withers' classic. Of course, Lalah has great vocals.
It was refreshing to hear this old tune with Jose's added touch of throw back 70s garb ....including a 70s vintage type gown on Ms. Hathaway. Great choice!!!!
I absolutely adore Lalah Hathaway's music. I remember seeing Lalah and Rashaan Patterson at a Jazz Festival in Northern California many years ago. It is great that Jose is paying tribute to the late great Bill Withers. We all should celebrate the music of soul music icons such as William Withers, Billy Paul, Bobby Womack and others. This is meaningful music unlike some of the tasteless lyrics of some of the music that the music industry is presenting today. I will look for this young man's music and when this pandemic is controlled, I plan to go to his concert.
Beautiful - Cannot beat the original though ! - It has so many wonderful memories attached to It ! - Thankyou Bill for writing such a beautiful song ! My Old Mom once said -"It's a sad old World - When my old dust bin gets out more than I do"? RIP Mom
I just found this artist, and I have to say I love this so much. The original song is one of my all time favourites and I love how you kept it’s original charm while still putting your own spin on it. You have a wonderful voice and all these haters can fuck off.... you’re doing great sweetie! So awesome!
for all you who don't like this cover, I personally do.It is a good interpretation of a great song, I really like the vibe.No he doesn't carry the note like Bill did which was a key feature of the original. But in my opinion that was the strong point of Bill's game.I was always thought his singing voice was fair at best.Just take this cover for what it is.
Jose, you are unique with your artistry -with this song. Your style is stellar! I flew with this song to a place in time and I enjoyed it all...and Lalah!!! I can listen to her stunning smooth voice forever.
I'm pretty sure Bill is enjoying this version on the other side. People love his music so much that they keep adding to it; what better tribute to a musician can there be? José made this song his own, and it's amazing.
I gasp when this came across my feed! Been a fan since BlackMagic. I love how you never know what to expect from him. From Jazz to Electronica to Blues to Soul...he does it all!!!
I lovvvve this rendition! What an awesome tribute! It is smooth, crisp and with great taste!!!! José James what a wonderful groovy honor to Bill Whithers. I like your music sir. From a singer.
I just saw an Ad he's going to be in my hometown, Jose James Sings Badu, i had to look him up on TH-cam...this is my very 1st time hearing him and I'd love to see him Live...Lalah Hathaway sounds better than ever!❤❤❤ I saw a video of her with Vesta Williams, r.i.p. and those 2 together was 🔥.
First heard Jose James singing with Jazzanova’s 2008 “Of All The Things” album - song called “Little Bird.” Been a fan ever since. I love this rendition.
That’s so beautiful Jose.I live in Massachusetts the most Bluesy State in the winter time And the people that lives here don’t make it no better no smiling just greed when I heard this it made me feel better
Beautiful homage to Bill Withers. And Lalah is UNREAL!! That woman's voice is like no other I have ever heard. She is PHENOMENAL! She could aing rhe phone book, and make me wanna buy it. Whew! This juat game me aome joy in quarantine!👍🏽🥰🙌🏽❤
I really needed this right now. Thank you for recording this version. This is my first time hearing either one of you. Ms. Lalah really added to this. And the smooth, easy 😎feeling at the end of the song 🎵. It really is going to be a lovely day.
José James es uno de los artistas mas importantes de la década. No es frecuente que aparezcan artistas de este nivel como ocurrió con. Amy Winehouse. josé James es tan virtuoso y tiene tanta música que puede abordar diferentes estilos con la misma solvencia. Bill Withers es un genio no suficientemente reconocido y creo que este re-descubrimiento de su música es muy positivo. Especialmente para la gente joven que, en el caso de Amy "descubrió" el Soul. Pat Metheny hizo de puente entre el jazz tradicional y su música con el PMG. TODOS GANAMOS.
Right on Time🎶needed a jump start, think it's beautiful that you put your twist and make songs yours, your songs are Groovy and dig jamming out to them, Greatful that you have different kind of flavor, was jamming out to Jerry Garcia and Melvin Seals "don't Let Go" super cool when they exchanging licks and Greatful Dead Jams with a lotta Artist , Carlos Santana and Los Lobos my favorite when they all on stage,Looking forward to digging deeper into your Music keep on keeping On🎶☮️
Wat a wonderful cover, love it. Fantastic happy feeling when I listen to it. In my top 3 all time favourite. Thank you for this. José James you are an amazing artist
I love your rendition of this timeliness classic. My 3 year old son's face lights up with a smile when he hears this song. He is probably your youngest fan. ☮️
I've heard so many covers and versions of this. This one, would have to be #1 for me as far as a tribute to Bill Withers. Jose sounds awesome live too. Love his style. Amazing. ❤
I'm diggin throw back fr the 60's maybe the 70's 5th floor addition. That gear is unique, straight off of the Black Power movement rack, rt on ma brutha 🖤...
Very cool that this brother is honoring Bill Withers. I love the whole 70s theme. And Lalah is bringing it as usual. Makes me wanna move to Cali and hang out in the sunshine.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful rendition and video
I'm feeling you! 🌞
Very well done! I play this version often. Not a day goes by that Lovely Day doesn't bubble up in my spirit in some form! One of the greatest songs EVER😄 and you honored Bill Withers with your soulful voices! Thanks!💕
Not worth going to California now 😄

Wow. The accompaniment/duet approach gives the song a completely new dimension! Congratulations!

I love how soft and sweet the imagery is. We need this medicine right now. Thank you!!!
We need it even more these days.
Thanks for your support and love over the years.
Jose perfectly laid out that fine & easy original texture...Just Beautiful!
😎👌✌️
Wow. Those scats were heavenly.
That, “Then I look at you…” gets me every time.
Very nice Jose & Lalah!
This should be a wedding song! Makes me want to fall in love ! Anybody?
Love this version. Laid-back happy making, fun, quirky, tender and stylish. Gorgeous voice and the woman singer as well.
thanks you made me laugh today
Layla Hathaway is the real deal. She won a grammy with Snarky Puppy a couple of years ago.

My era IS the 70s and I usually don't remixes, but THIS one is oooweee!!! ❤❤❤
This is such a cool version of the Bill Withers classic. Best cover I've heard- respects the integrity of the original but adds a 21stC jazz flava
Thanks for your support and love over the years.

Shit its not about beating the original... Just a smooth jam..
Very good brother
Lalah stole the show 😅
#RIPBillWithers 🙌🏾🎶🎵
Lalah's voice is so smooth like butter and Jose is not bad either. Together great together priceless👳👍
Every time I hear Lalah's voice, I cannot help but hear her father all over her. Always gives me chills!
Check his song Velvet
I love Lalah Hathaway, @@ChocThundanvr. 🥰
Happy New Year 2021, this song is the best, and Mr Withers is looking down...saying enjoy and hope you all have a better year. RIP Bill ❤
Jose and Lalah...... it doesn't get better than this!
I saw you perform this song live in Berks Jazz Fest in Reading PA! May Bill Withers rest in peace and may our Lord God bless your ever-loving music!

Haters just kill the vibe. We can do without them.
Ooh! I love your rendition of "Lovely Day." Stay safe.
I know that nobody can ever replace Bill Withers but man this dude has a voice like silk! And her voice is equally awesome ❤
Instantly went into my “The Real Smoothies” playlist! Love your voice, it’s so mellow!!
Sweet collaboration you two.....the older I become the more I can truly appreciate 🙏EACH lovely day the Creator gives me.
Jose, you are unique with your artistry -with this song. Your style is stellar! I flew with this song to a place in time and I enjoyed it all...and Lalah!!! I can listen to her stunning smooth voice forever.
Conheci recentemente, curtimos aqui em casa com alegria e adoramos a performance dele e voz.
Great performance by both of you. This shows us that Bill will live on forever through us and other creators of art. RIP.
He got good choices in songs, you go young King.
I love this song. The original was sung by my uncle bill. RIP skip Scarborough.

Every lalah hathaway-featured-song never disappoints. I love the way she give so much chemistry to the song and artist.
Great José James !! Also Lalah did a great job. The whole album ist wonderful ! Josés voice fascinates me.
Awesome!! Wonderful execution of sound and emotion! To be able to catch an essence is truly rare. I give kudos to Jose James! Keep it coming baby!!
Gotta say this guy killed it. The way they softened up the chorus is way more listenable.
First heard Jose James singing with Jazzanova’s 2008 “Of All The Things” album - song called “Little Bird.” Been a fan ever since. I love this rendition.

*He's so beautiful♥I'm loving this soulful collab*
Great job indeed
Love this version. Great vocals...beautiful ❤️
Who is this guy? I enjoy his rendition as much as Bill Withers’. He’s smooth.
