Yes, that is obvious. But one thing about TH-cam is that it enables you to judge talent by listening to different artists perform the same or almost the same material, one after the other. It is one of the things I love about TH-cam.
I love his voice. It's so unique and he makes you really feel it, which is what a song should do. I have always loved Burt's music. This young guy is awesome.
Don't worry. You'll be happy again. Life has a way of moving out the old to make way for the new. You have a new life, you have important things to do. The hurt will turn to joy.
My partner left me after 6years 21years have passed and I never get tired of this song no matter who sings it . I say to myself It's better to have loved than never
Burt, my darling...I've loved you since I was a teenager. You are such a magnificent talent. Thank you for everything you have done to bring us so much joy. Jamie, my heart is pounding, you are such an amazing talent and you do this song justice, great job, kid!
Sir Bacharach perhaps first introduced this young man? Regardkes.... Excellent, Excellent young man!!👏🏾👏🏾⚘🤗RIP Sir Bacharach, Sir Genius!!😪⚘🙏🏾🕊🕊✊🏾🎧🎤🎹👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I listen to this over and over again. I thinks he's English and he got one verse wrong but it was His song and he made it his own. I'm going to listen to him a few more times. Love the orchestra too.
In my book, Jaime Cullum can do wrong. This is another terrific version of a classic song given new life by Jaime. He's so good. He, also, has the perfect stage look and presence here. This is real class. Having said that, let's face it, there is no-one, and I mean no-one, who can even come close to Jerry Butler's orginal version. It's the ultimate. You don't believe me; just listen to it.
Ron Charles no conozco la versión original 🤔 pero ahora mismo la buscaré. Siempre escuché la de B B y me fascinó desde el comienzo. Gracias y saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
what an awesume young nusician and his rendition of this sprcial song is so brautiful i almost cried. may we see you on tekevision janie so our music lovers can hear the best'
This is a great version of the Bacharach/David song. There is another version by the English duo Shirley and Johnny from their 1970 album titled "This is Shirley and Johnny" released on Phillips. Worth a listen.
Sorry people but this guy made this song sexy and a tear jerker. I listened to the og to see what you were saying but I still think Jamie is a cutie and love his voice and loved it better. Burt Bacharach is a genius no matter who he has singing.
I loved Jerry Butler version for 60 years. It was Me & my husband of 59 years song. Danced to it at 25th and 40 th anniversary....then today I heard Walker Brothers version. That did it for me . It was awesome. John Walker did a tour shortly before he died and sang it. Amazing. Burt and orchestra were amazing but sorry. ..the boy can sing but nothing extraordinary. The orchestra lifted him up. Hope he goes far. Might have been stage fright/ nerves.
je suis allé à son concert qu'il a donné à Milan en juillet, et j'ai assisté à un véritable show. A 90 ans il a fait un spectacle qui a duré 2 H. Génial, incroyable, j'en suis encore tout retourné. Bravo !! Je suis son plus grand fan depuis 1968, date à laquelle je l'ai connu. J'ai acheté tous ces vinyles que je garde précieusement, et mon fils m'a fait cadeau de tous ces CD dans un coffret commandé aux USA + un petit livre sur lui pour mon anniversaire.
Very very talented young man indeed. 10+years, and I’m here, listening/watching this beautiful song of Burt Bacharach,.Jamie Cullum, w/his very special unique voice, makes it a ‘wow’! I enjoy v much. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well/healthy 🙂Have a nice day.
Bobby: Thanks very much for letting me know about the posting. (It's been over thirty years since I last heard Johnny Mathis version.) I spent many a weekend in that radio station playing songs like this. It was the 1970's and the station was undergoing a gradual transition from "easy listening" to Top 40. It's kind of funny recalling all the women (married and otherwise) who called requesting Barry White songs.
Perfect! So stylish and in the Bacharach groove. Jamie Cullum is incredibly talented vocalist and musician. I saw him perform once at a private gig he did for no money for the staff Christmas party of a charity I was part of - we were all volunteers, and he turned up to do a set out of sheer kindness and generosity. He was awesome!
A superb composition..goes right to the heart. I think the best version of this song is actually the two guys with the deep low voices who did it on American Idol. The musical performance and arrangement was superb as well. It was done in Vegas. Ive always liked this song from the version in the era I was from (Walker Brothers) but Ive come to totally love it with those two dudes on American Idol.Give it a listen a few times to check it out.
Jamie's version of this song is very good, of course, but Johnny Mathis had a cover of this song that he recorded on one of his albums released in the early or middle 1970's. I worked in an "easy listening" FM radio station at the time. I loved Johnny's version of this classic and played it nearly every time I was on the air. I would be ever so grateful if anyone who sees this could put up Johnny Mathis's version of "Make It Easy on Yourself." TIA
Scott Walker had nothing to worry about. The Walker Brothers version knocked The Rolling Stones Satisfaction out of the top spot in the British Charts.
Burt Bacharach would never allow a singer to sing any of his songs if he thought the singer would do a horrible job of it.... I think he sounds like a young Michael Buble ......
I don't think he ruined the tune at all, in fact I think he's doing his own rendition while staying true to the melody. Nobody will ever come near Karen Carpenter's version but this is actually really good.
I agree with you. In order to accurately convey the overwhelming emotion poured out by the music and lyrics of this song, the singer must have experienced the devastation of "breaking up" at least a time or two in their life. While this young man possesses a beautiful, silky smooth voice, he's apparently been spared that horror, thus far.
My thoughts exactly. The kid has a nice tone to his voice, but WHERE WAS THE PASSION FROM THE DEPTHS OF HIS ENTIRE BEING AS HE WAS LOSING THE WOMAN WHO WAS HIS ENTIRE UNIVERSE in his delivery? I recorded this song 20 years ago. I should start uploading my songs and see what kind of reactions I get
RIP Burt, absolute legend of songwriting!
Burt Bacharach is such a great songwriter.
Ummm ... so often overlooked - Hal David wrote the perfect lyrics.
Words and music = timeless = this is excellent from anyone especially a young singer ❤ beautiful 😍
Yes, that is obvious. But one thing about TH-cam is that it enables you to judge talent by listening to different artists perform the same or almost the same material, one after the other. It is one of the things I love about TH-cam.
Jamie sounds great but hats off to the BBC Concert Orchestra who together with Burt's group of musicians sound awesome together on this number..
Am with you on the BBC Orchestra, but Jamie was average at best here. Too vanilla.
Jamie’s beautiful version together with the legendary Burt Bacharach that’s musical genius.
A once in a lifetime moment...just perfect! Burt and Jamie!! =)
I love his voice. It's so unique and he makes you really feel it, which is what a song should do. I have always loved Burt's music. This young guy is awesome.
Many men find him awesome too.
Agree❤❤❤
This song makes me cry. My lover left me after 7 years. It hurts. Great singer and interpretation.
Don't worry. You'll be happy again. Life has a way of moving out the old to make way for the new. You have a new life, you have important things to do. The hurt will turn to joy.
My partner left me after 6years 21years have passed and I never get tired of this song no matter who sings it .
I say to myself It's better to have loved than never
Jaime sang this perfectly!, One of my favorites! This song expresses feelings I've had in the past!!💜💜💜
His voice is very thin , lacks feeling,clips end of sentences.Listen to the Walker Bros and Jerry Butler,you'll understand what I mean.
Honestly an amazing performance, his voice never sounds strained at all, I love BB’s face during the piece as well, just in awe!
Agree❤ He seemed happy & obviously enjoyed Jamie's performance.....a very unique rendition & so heartfelt❤
Oscar Torney Jr, The Walker Brothers, Dione Warwick, Johnny Mathis, Jerry Butler, Rick Ashley and now...Jamie Cullun. 👍
Yes - and with Jamie C last in quality. Robotic rendition, imho. No emotion in his voice.
And karen perfect ..😍
Listen also to Long John Baldrey and Jackie Trent take on this song.
Its a timeless
Maybe for his lovely wife at the time Angie Dickinson.
@@acousticshadow4032 I like it. I'll think again. I thot he stuck to melody pretty good. Disturbingly handsome.
Jamie Cullum you sang the Hell” outa this classic!! Top Top rendition 💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m so thrilled to see the young carrying on Burts music love his voice. Especially when he sings Gran Tornio 🎵
So beautiful!!!! Burt Bacharach was completely in a class all of his own....
That voice singing this classic gave me goosebumps.....
Burt, my darling...I've loved you since I was a teenager. You are such a magnificent talent. Thank you for everything you have done to bring us so much joy. Jamie, my heart is pounding, you are such an amazing talent and you do this song justice, great job, kid!
I remember watching this live and was blown away, truly epic.
Every few months for the last 9 years I been coming back to this gem of a performance . End of the movie moment for real 💯
Oh wow I like this kid! I love Burt big time!
This was a tremendous concert
Wow, I love this version!
Thanks.
He sings with such control and feelings
Sir Bacharach perhaps first introduced this young man? Regardkes.... Excellent, Excellent young man!!👏🏾👏🏾⚘🤗RIP Sir Bacharach, Sir Genius!!😪⚘🙏🏾🕊🕊✊🏾🎧🎤🎹👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wicked ! Top-notch !
This guy has a powerful and very easy style, and I can understand why BB wants to perform his old standards with him.
I listen to this over and over again. I thinks he's English and he got one verse wrong but it was His song and he made it his own. I'm going to listen to him a few more times. Love the orchestra too.

I need to hear this song
It helps with my pain in my
Heart
RIP Scott Walker and know that Jamie's version is a tribute!
Well done Jamie ... lovely tones in your voice ... hard to do a classic but you nailed it!
He's fantastic! I'm in love!!!
Bacharach/Davis.. the beauty of your music & lyrics transcends time. They sound as fresh as when I first listened & sung to them as a young girl.
what an awesume young nusician and his rendition of this sprcial song is so brautiful i almost cried. may we see you on tekevision janie so our music lovers can hear the best'
R.I.P Burt Bacharach
This is a great version of the Bacharach/David song. There is another version by the English duo Shirley and Johnny from their 1970 album titled "This is Shirley and Johnny" released on Phillips. Worth a listen.
So beautiful!!!
Exceptional performance of this song.
This is “My” song for ME ❤ THIS WILL HELP ME ALONG WITH GOD’s good graces.❤
Sorry people but this guy made this song sexy and a tear jerker. I listened to the og to see what you were saying but I still think Jamie is a cutie and love his voice and loved it better. Burt Bacharach is a genius no matter who he has singing.
SCOTT WALKER OWNS THIS SONG, FABULOUS BARITONE
Ever heard of the Walker Brothers? magic!
Yes, have you heard Jerry Butler's version of this song?
I loved Jerry Butler version for 60 years. It was Me & my husband of 59 years song. Danced to it at 25th and 40 th anniversary....then today I heard Walker Brothers version. That did it for me .

New generation version, sounds great.

Viva Burt Bacharat !!!!!!!
Me encantó!! Excelente versión 👏👏👏😍
Love this song by him
It's sad and hard to do
I'll never find that person
It's so true
Edwin Starr sings this song like an Angel.
Agree
unbelievable, what a voice.
I just fuckin love Jamie Cullum.
A superb composition..goes right to the heart. I think the best version of this song is actually the two guys with the deep low voices who did it on American Idol.

Just magic!
Viva Jamie Cullum !!!!!!
I've been a fan of BB from the start, and Jamie a fresh innovator with some real style. Refreshing.
My favorite version!
I love so much 😍
Linda música!!!!
Emocionante!!!!👏👏
MAGNÍFICO!!!
Beautiful version of this song, I have the Walker Brothers version and this is just as good
Soooo schöön 😊❤
tears,how good is this!:)
Estupendo!!
Jerry Butler version is the best
Surely The Walker Brothers is the best. All the others are simply good.
Jamie❤️
Love it!
Magnificent
This is hands down the best version of this song
Agreed...and I was a teenager when the Walker Bros version came out and which blew me away at the time.
You have to be kidding. Best? Jerry Butler, Walker Bros/ Scott Walker, johnny Mathis, Dionne Warwick? Surely you cant be serious.
Jamie's version of this song is very good, of course, but Johnny Mathis had a cover of this song that he recorded on one of his albums released in the early or middle 1970's. I worked in an "easy listening" FM radio station at the time. I loved Johnny's version of this classic and played it nearly every time I was on the air. I would be ever so grateful if anyone who sees this could put up Johnny Mathis's version of "Make It Easy on Yourself." TIA
Johnny's much,much better.
This is the best version of make it easy on yourself
Scott Walker had nothing to worry about. The Walker Brothers version knocked The Rolling Stones Satisfaction out of the top spot in the British Charts.
Amoooooo
Excelente
I don't have a clue about this young singer. Never heard of him. Burt I know.
He's no Scott Walker
Burt Bacharach would never allow a singer to sing any of his songs if he thought the singer would do a horrible job of it....
I think he sounds like a young Michael Buble ......
A bit like Anthony Newley, also.
This version is great, but I always go back to The Walker Brothers.
They did a great job with this song, but I still prefer the original recording by Jerry Butler.
Scott Walker is very best
I don't think he ruined the tune at all, in fact I think he's doing his own rendition while staying true to the melody. Nobody will ever come near Karen Carpenter's version but this is actually really good.
+Victoria Sarinelli you have to sing this song with emotion. He wasn't feeling it in my opinion.
I agree with you. In order to accurately convey the overwhelming emotion poured out by the
music and lyrics of this song, the singer must have experienced the
devastation of "breaking up" at least a time or two in their life.
While this young man possesses a beautiful, silky smooth voice, he's
apparently been spared that horror, thus far.
where is scott walker when you need him ?
My thoughts exactly. The kid has a nice tone to his voice, but WHERE WAS THE PASSION FROM THE DEPTHS OF HIS ENTIRE BEING AS HE WAS LOSING THE WOMAN WHO WAS HIS ENTIRE UNIVERSE in his delivery? I recorded this song 20 years ago. I should start uploading my songs and see what kind of reactions I get
Bingo! No inflection - no emotion. Deadpan monotone.
