I am not the biggest MJ fan but that is one of my favorite songs by him. I loved how you covered that tune. Most will try and sound like MJ and you kept true to your "Dean-ness". Great job Dean! Your voice is so awesome! Would love to see you with a band behind you to fill out your sound but you and your guitar a great too!
Dean my man, that was sick boss. Follow your dreams. Coming from a country boy, you have have that soulful bluesy sound that I could listen to receptively.
This video may be a few years old but I come back to it every now and then, reminds me of when I used to listen to the original when I was like 10-11 ish. Very nice and stress free time. Thank you for this cover, I love it so much!
strolling through covers tonight, stumbled across drift away by this dude, ended up here, Cheers to Dean Heckel, amazing, I'd like to hear some his own stuff
Mr. Dean Heckel you are one of not only the best but one of the most enjoyable singer/performers I've seen in my 70yrs!Wow! Whatever it is, you've got it for sure and for real! Thank you for sharing yourself! Just beautiful!
I love your voice when you dothst perl jam song black you sing it better then eddie v everyday when i get home i like to sit a relax after a nice big shot of herion and listen to your channel for hours you have a awsome voice
Great job on this man. I know this is one helluva hard song to sing. Can you by any chance cover "under the boardwalk" "unchained melody" or "sittin on the dock of the bay"? Cause with that epic voice of yours, im sure your vox would completely dominate any of those 3 tracks. I think its official.... Ive fallen in lovvve with the dynamic tone of your voice, sorta of a gravel(vs)silk-like quality....Its very nice. Super smooth. 👌🎤🎼🎵🎶🔥🔥🔥
👌🙌👍 Awesome Dean !! Been looking through most of your vids and I'm really impressed man love your soul full voice ! I'm also a solo acoustic performer.... Wondering what camera you use for these videos and and do you use a seperate mic for recording ? Cheers Damon
U have such an awesome voice brother! But I find it odd that nobody ever questioned the lyrics to that song! Sung by a broken man being from a world of evil! Michael Jackson
Love your song choices. I'd love to hear you sing "Jolene" by Ray Lamontagne or "Like Jesus Does" by Eric Church. Something that's maybe a little out of the box. Keep posting for sure, subscribed, liked, and shared!
He does Jolene all the time, I have it recorded recently but there was a fan that talked to him halfway through so we don't want to use it. I'll get it soon, he does it fantastically! I'll ask him about the Eric Church song. Thank for watching, and for the requests! -GS (Dean's TH-cam guy)
Dean doesn't really have a way for people to pay for (and for us to ship) his CDs just yet. I'll keep you posted. FYI, every song on the CDs we sell are ripped audio from the videos we post on here, so it wouldn't be anything you hadn't heard on TH-cam already. They are just CDRs we sell at shows for now. Thanks for the interest though! -GS (Dean's TH-cam guy)
Good stuff! You should invest in an iPad (full-sized tablet) and a bluetooth foot pedal to turn/scroll the pages. Look a lot more professional and won't have the music interruptions scrolling the lyrics...
Ryan Price Acoustic Absolutely. Which is great to play along with on the current song, but when that song ends, does Ultimate Guitar change to the next song automatically as well or know when you want to call an 'audible' on your setlist and maybe skip the next song to play the one after that? Bluetooth foot pedals are great for these reasons. And personally, I always tweak and retype chord sheets I take or work on from UG; they're layout is not always the same and not always correct. And why take up 3 pages to have to worry about scrolling along with when you can retype it up better in 1 page and not have to worry about scrolling at all? Just my opinion...
Fair enough i have never used or even knew about pedals i wasnt trying to say it was better just cheap option personally it worked fine for me until it updated i lost all my speeds that i had set and became quite a hinderance at a gig if i could get a pedal that worked with ug it would be something i would deffinately consider although could get in the way of harmony pedal or bass drum but will look into it
Ryan Price Acoustic No, all good, friend. It may have sounded like I was being rude, and I do apologize. I use a harmony pedal (TC Helicon's Harmony GT-X) and a bass stompbox pedal (like a Horsekick) and a Bluetooth page turner on my ipad. But like I said, I retype the ideas from UG onto a Word doc and load it into my iPad app. For me, I find it much easier. Good luck!
I’m gonna get this man to a million views, this rendition moves me and can’t stop replaying it.
I come back to your videos every year for inspiration since I started to sing 5 years ago. Love it man, just love it.
Hell yeah that's what I'm talking about...been listening to your covers all nite...you got it going ON
I am not the biggest MJ fan but that is one of my favorite songs by him. I loved how you covered that tune. Most will try and sound like MJ and you kept true to your "Dean-ness". Great job Dean!

Please do the world a favor and try out for the TV show, The Voice. You're amazing dude!
Please don't do that!! The Voice is for wannabes and this guy is beyond that show.
I M in love with you❤️
👌🙌👍 Awesome Dean !! Been looking through most of your vids and I'm really impressed man love your soul full voice ! I'm also a solo acoustic performer.... Wondering what camera you use for these videos and and do you use a seperate mic for recording ? Cheers Damon
Which chords do you play, please?
He would be great at whisky in the jar and would be a great song for cross country recognition.
You should do The Last Goodbye by Billy Boyd
U have such an awesome voice brother! But I find it odd that nobody ever questioned the lyrics to that song! Sung by a broken man being from a world of evil! Michael Jackson
Love your song choices. I'd love to hear you sing "Jolene" by Ray Lamontagne or "Like Jesus Does" by Eric Church. Something that's maybe a little out of the box. Keep posting for sure, subscribed, liked, and shared!

What's your Spotify???
Yea but can you do smoke on the water?
Chords?
This is pure perfection man. Do you have any cds that I can purchase from you ?
Where are you located?
Dean Heckel Texas !
Dean doesn't really have a way for people to pay for (and for us to ship) his CDs just yet. I'll keep you posted.
FYI, every song on the CDs we sell are ripped audio from the videos we post on here, so it wouldn't be anything you hadn't heard on TH-cam already.
They are just CDRs we sell at shows for now.
Thanks for the interest though!
-GS (Dean's TH-cam guy)
Keep me posted please!
You should do black by pearl jam.. Or nutshell by alice in chains 👍👍
Which Martin is that??
Good stuff! You should invest in an iPad (full-sized tablet) and a bluetooth foot pedal to turn/scroll the pages. Look a lot more professional and won't have the music interruptions scrolling the lyrics...
Ultimate guitar has the autoscroll feature
Ryan Price Acoustic Absolutely. Which is great to play along with on the current song, but when that song ends, does Ultimate Guitar change to the next song automatically as well or know when you want to call an 'audible' on your setlist and maybe skip the next song to play the one after that?

The other issue with UG autoscroll is if you get the scroll speed wrong... :-(
then it's useless...
If you don’t mind me asking...when you touch your phone, is it for the lyrics or the music?
I have se same shitty H&M shirtttt!!! I feel like the di caprio pointing at the tv meme
His phone is strategically in the way of the chords
amazing voice!!! reverb tail is too long tho
I can't believe that 29 persons putted 29 thumbs down!!!
