#MarkKnopfler - เพลง
This is one badass tune about a badass man played and sung by a badass musician!!!
Dana….. nothing could be more truthful, God Bless You
Knopfler simply has a way with words just magnificent!
Mark ages like a fine wine. He just gets better and better. He tells a whole biography in a song and does it with class. What a talent!
Earth angel
He glosses over sonny's intelligence and pain Susan and paints him a simple man....sonny played the hand he was delt....I can't imagine being a black man from the south in his day....this song is unreal....but just scratchs the surface of a complex human...a beast who loved children and wished the public accepted him....it makes me cry
@@user-dc1dr9kr8x I would imagine that a song 7 minutes 45 seconds would only be long enough to speak about some of the things that happened in Sonny Liston's life or the troubles that were part of his legacy. But isn't it a good thing that there is a song about a man who lived the life he had and left behind such a sad story. There are a number of biographies about the life and death of Sonny Liston. Perhaps, if you want a more in-depth exploration of his life you could start there.
Красивая музыка со смыслом от замечательного музыканта.
Perfect......good morning to all......❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
What a great homage to a heavyweight champ who was reviled by so many. Bravo Mark! RIP Sonny!
So awesome! My son is Sonny Liston’s great great nephew. I’m trying to teach him about Sonny and it is awesome to come across this song.
That’s fantastic!
Hi, when my daughter was two she would cry because she wanted her daddy, I would tell her he’ll be home soon, she would say no I want my other daddy the black one his name is Sonny. I was confused now I know that She was Sonny Liston illegitimate daughter, Sense little she would get in fights with bullies at school and she even broke a boys nose and she would tell me her daddy taught her to box. I would get mad at my husband because I thought it was him. She tells me of his smile and that Sonny Liston loved children and that once she mimic his face impression and he just burst. Out laughing. She was born knowing more then she should she was even saying my name at 7 months
Get the boy a pair of gloves, power like what sonny had runs deep
I was a great admirer of Sony. He was a Gentleman and a Warrior, admirable that after his fights with Casius Clay (M. Ali) they had a great friendship. A great pride for you and for the world and of course for the great Mark Knopfler. Greetings Shanna.
In the list of the greatest fighters of all time he is ranked with the first 2. To clarify he is a member of the greatest 2 fighters in the world. George Foreman said it he was the only MAN to back him up in the ring.
I feel that 'Song for Sonny Liston' is greatly underrated by the general public. Mark's songwriting and storytelling are on point and the groove is just otherwordly. I Like it very, very much.
Ditto...I'm old now too and his music has matured with me.
One of Bob Dylan's favorite Mark knoplfer song
From the very first note you know it is Mark Knopfer. In my opinion, the best guitarist ever.
YOU HAVE REASON
If you love him so much, why don't you marry him?
@okdoomer playing as many notes as possible does not equal a good guitarist
Agreed
@@PROBLEMASAQUI that's what you go to see him for
The hard rough sound fits the story of the man.. yet in the next song the tenderness of the passing comes through
MK plays the song brilliantly
One of the greatest ever to pick up a guitar. Period.
The best, by any standard.
Certainly one of the best right hand fingerpickers. He learned from Django & Chet. Masters, all three of them.
Genius!!!
Beautiful. When i thought Mark Knopfler had hit every nerve in my bod. He finds another. Magic from the master. 47 years later, still the same guitar man.
Made Woodstock in '69. 71 now and this is where my music in 50 yrs has led me. So Greatful it is !
I had the pleasure and privilege to see Mark Knopfler in concert at the Chateau Ste. Michelle winery near Seattle last year. What a show!!!! Hes a master!
Even better than the studio version. Badass song!
Best version I found until today
When Mark solos it's absolute perfection, in every song he does.
I'm constantly turning people on to Mr. Knopfler:'s body of work. Once bitten, they go forward down the path with a show of force
Brilliant song about my favourite boxer charles sonny liston.
#1 guitarist in the world
In the in the Universe!
Absolutely and a real good and humble human.
Choice music real heart music it's terrific show me more and I too will share more please
Always had Dire straights in my record collection and CD s along with many many rock in roll bands acdc. Pearl jam . Pink Floyd. Rolling stones and 70s music Beatles .Fleetwood Mack. Angels.Hard rock and soft love songs music gets into my soul
Yes he is and always be!
Knopfler's best song.
Mark can hold his own with ANY Blues musician
MK's heroes where Howling Wolf and Muddy Waters ...
With any musician
@@ninonero3202and Django & Chet. A1*
Man, he sure can !!!!!
I might like Shangri-La more than any Dire Straits album even and that's saying something. Absolutely one of my favorite records of all time, hands down. Killer from top to bottom.
Holy freakin' guitar tone !
There is NO limit to Mark's talent ! !
Guitar sound to die for. Brilliant.
Even with your eyes closed you no exactly this is MK his guitar playing is marvellous his voice gorgeous MK thank you to share this lovely music with us take care of yourself👍🎸💜🎸💋🎸❤❤❤ MK gets never old he is better than Old Wine

Home when im relaxing?

Haveing freinds over?
On my way to work?
Doesn't matter, Your music will allways be a part of who i am!
THE WORLD LOVES YOU MARK!
Got his music on my phone, at home, in my car, on board my boat....
Wow, I though I was alone in this. I listen to him literally every day, and the music never gets old. I'm sure I'll be listening until the day I die.
A beautiful ode to Sonny Liston, finally he gets some recognition for being perhaps the greatest heavy weight ever if the USA was another place back then or today for that matter.
2nd too Ali
Perhaps, unfair as it is, there were too many other greats. As for the US, some people don't want it to change, a la Sharpton.
Some people should start reading to their kids, in infancy. Head Start and affirmative action have failed. Well-intentioned, but failed. You want something? Go get it.
Dion, U2, and know Knopfler, have honored blacks. MLK, Jr. and now Sonny Liston. The musicians are white. When will rappers honor their men?
Oh what a voice, his lyrics and guitaring! And his band enjoys as much as him. Totally in synch
oooh the music. the most talented guitarist i owe my mum for showing me the coolest guy to ever rock
lachlan fountain Same thing, but with my dad.
same same ...but with my uncle...i.always had loooots of music in my live after that...thanks uncle,thanks Mark...thanks for uploading...
Lachlan F wish her a happy mother's day!
the tone of that LP .... only Mark Knopfler
Mark how could you stay so calm playing and hearing such a beautiful tune out of that piece of art. I would jump like a bull on the stage.
A great song for a great champion
My grandparents were at the fight in Lewiston. They didn't get to see it though; they bought their tickets, found their seats and went to get popcorn. By the time they came back, Ali had already won by knockout.
That is my favorite story to tell.
Sonny took a dive.
How come I am just now listening to Mark Knopfler? This is blowing my mind.
BEST OF THE BEST
Crazy how an old white Geordie can play the blues like this. Absolute quality
We need to get more people to discover marks music. It will transform their lives!
listen dear people this is amazing 🎸🎸he is brilliant 👌🎸
Goosebumps hair on the back of my neck chills. What a song!
MR. MARK KNOFLER - THE MAESTRO while The DRUMMER IS A BEAST...
Danny Cummins on drums is sublime IMO
Agreed
Very expressive drummer...
GREAT SONG PERIOD
my favorite guitarist ever
That guitarsound
That sound!!!! Its just......
It's something else, ain't it? No one has done anything quite like it before or since.
J.L.Hooker had the same kind of (pure) sound, according to his period.. albert King sounded damn good too, but ok, no one comes close to him since those guys passed away
Incredible lyrics too!
Great lyrics that's the point
This is a wonderful piece of Introspective Music. Mark Knopfler has an unusual way of Jamming with his Guitar; unlike Jamming with other Guitarists. His Guitar takes the lead, and his voice gently accompanies that extraordinary "Tango of Strings"...
This one, what it is and boom like that Will allways be my favorits from mark after dire straits days were over😕
Great song for a great man charles sonny liston.
Mark, incredible as always, that groove man, there's non other,
yeah that groove is awesome
So true 👍!!!!!!
Just by listening and enjoying the sounds of his guitar I feel like a true man, the real deal!
Absolutely the coolest song of the moment. Dig it.
Such a great story teller and musician, the world is a better place because of his music!
Best guitarist of all time
Love sonny liston great boxer would have loved to have met the bear.
I just got turned on to Mark. I've listened to dire straits but had no idea of Mark going out on his own. He's amazing.
Amazing performance!
Song For Sony Liston Blues 💖 M'y lover Song Nice Mark Good Protect You Mark 💖🙏🙏
Amazing song with amazing lyrics about an amazing fighter
Marks finest. This song and Hurricane by Dylan are so pictographic in the lyrics you'd think you were ringside.
I listen to this song AT LEAST once every two days... Mark you're THE BEST!
Thank you Mark Knopfler 🎸🎶✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🥰🇧🇷🌍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God bless
I love their songs live. I enjoy them twice as much ... ☺️☺️.And how you enjoy watching him play..He's the best !! 😍😍
This song just reaches out and grips you right away. Scary, sad and brilliant.
Heard this many moons ago. Still think it's amazing.
truly the best of the best :)
Nothing to say! Simply Mr Knopfler! Perfect as usual!
Greatest musician one of the world's very best
Mark : A So Beautiful and Pure Soul
Master piece
An absolutely exquisite in memoriam for a true black anti-hero. Dethroned by Cassius Clay, he died in obscurity, his memory defiled by the fight fixers who killed him:
"At the foot of his bed with his feet on the floor
There was dope in his veins and a pistol on the drawer
There was no investigation as such
He hated needles but he knew too much"
I discovered the song on "One Take Sessions," that includes "Boom, Like That," a riveting first-person confessional from Ray Kroc, the man who made McDonalds a planet-wrecking juggernaut. Mark has a gift for these character sketches, very Dylanesque.
so laid back yet so funky. And a great tribute. And I love the top ride bell the drummer does once in a while. So much to love about Mark.
That bell ... an allusion to the bell that ends a boxing round?
Probably!@@mgfrobozz3802
@@mgfrobozz3802 Good thinking, I think you're right, something like that fits Mark's MO perfectly.
Such a lovely cool calm collective Vibe 🎶🎶
Один легендарный человек,поёт о другом легендарном человеке. Восхищение и только
Nothing left to say about your music but thank you.
Amazing storyteller that humanized a subject who was dehumanized his entire life.
i can never get enough. thank you.
Sublimely perfect.
Brothers in Arms Baby. Brothers In Arms. Yeah
Eine groovy Gibson Les Paul 1958 und dann der Gesang von Mark Knopfler; He at its best; thank you Mark for everything !!! 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think that "criss-cross, on his back, scars from his daddy like a slavery track" might just be my favourite lyrics in any song.
Oh my God, what a music
THIS IS MUSIC
RIP Sonny
This is great when you know the background story of Sonny's life and his later match up with Muhammad Ali twice. I think Mark did an even better version of this song with Emmylou Harris Band in Real Road Running DVD. What an enjoyable piece of Art
Please come tour America, Mark. I must see you work your magic. Love from Pittsburgh!
Oh my G!!! Sir mark knopfler.. you always fill up my day with your songs! The way you play your guitar it feels how you tickle my soul.. thank you for sharing your talent...😘😘😘
THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this man him an Bob Dylan are true artists yours sincerely Gary
Well said. Mark has always feel so much admiration for Dylan, J.j Cale, Chet Atkins .. and few others
This song and your fingerstyte are amazing, you are the best for me ;)
Guitar Forever, Rock in Our Heart !
that tone he gets from his guitar, sounds fucking brilliant
What a sound!
a fantastic song by one of the world greatest ever guitarists. A true musical genius whos feet are still firmly on the ground and whose modest humility and talent will forever be inspirational
I couldn't have said it better myself 😀👍!!!!
Came here in a roundabout way. From Ali, to Liston on Wikipedia, and a reference to Mark's song. It was very kind of Mr Knopfler to compose this remembrance.
I keep repeating the intro.. What a man
Awesome song
This is just bloody tremendous !
Love this song... thanks my dear Mark! 💋
God I love that voice and that smooth guitar.
Brilliant! Amazing performance of MK!
So good ! Love your music Mr Knopfler !
Admiral man of guitar! Learning his stuff takes so much patience phew!
Amazing!!
MK? Love the man!! ;-)
