I love this Eliot Lewis is amazing! He plays keyboards and background vocals for Daryl Hall’s amazing House Band, and has just put out a new solo cd that is great. Also Steve Ferrone played drums and played with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Steve is now touring with John Mayer. I love this band, always have! Also Brian Dunne and Klyde Jones from this band plays in Daryl’s amazing house band.
Yes I’m very blessed to have had such beautiful and happy and especially living in New York me and the fellow hanging out on the block drinking wine and smoking Columbia red and Columbia gold that’s when we didn’t have all this technology just albums and cassettes and people were people were people big speakers and care free so to all the people who were in to this time and really no da shit I greet you peace and love and one love your boy little bennie god bless
Back in March 1992, I was staying down Cape Cod, and in the hotel lobby was a flyer for the Average White Band playing at Christine's in Dennis. We had dinner in the restaurant and people were going into the big function room and we thought AWB was sold out. We gave the doorman a tip and sat at a little table right across from the band with about 10 ft. of floorspace. They were incredible. Elliot was new to the band and excellent! What a treat to seem them so intimately. Awesome memory.
@just a gay black dude Oh, great. Another person who, not being able to do what these guys do, thinks they are all faking and lip syncing. Sorry, but some of these guys have been playing live since the early 70’s. They love doing it because they are real musicians and that is their life. I suppose if you watch an IndyCar race your response is “Fake, they’re all on cruise control.” Show some appreciation for skill, man, and enjoy what these skilled musicians do!
Eliot Lewis, is one of the best all around singers and players doing this type of music. On this song he even played bass, and may I add, some really great falsetto singing.
45 years and still going strong. Dundee Horns / Glasgow Guitars. I've seen the AWB more times than I can remember (last time Nov 2017 in London) and they are still the best by far soul / funk band of all time.
Saw these guys I think in 1976 at the Akron Civic Theater, a smallish venue of maybe 3K seating. We were on the mezzanine level about half way between stage and entrance and there were people dancing EVERYWHERE in the aisles. What a concert. Never been to one that was better for the AUDIENCE energy they evoked. Fantastic group.
They’re retiring 😢 it’s been a soulful blast either way these guys from Queen of My Soul, Person To Person , Cloudy,A Love of My Own, I would save my allowance and buy an AWB album and still have them. Job well done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️🙏🏾
I was in college in the early 70s. They out then. I live them and still do. Their music is soulful and solid. Yes, they are one of my favorites. Love of my own was the song.
I think it was written by Burt Bacharach and made famous by Dione Warwick in the 60s maybe. But it's been covered by many artist over the years. My fave is by Diana Krall.
Eliot has been a secret to me for most of my life. I am so glad and feel so privileged to have found his gift of music in middle age. Found treasure to add to my play list. Thank you! #eliotlewis
I was waiting to hear this song and when Eliot Lewis started to sing my ear pirked up and I've been in love with his voice every since. How can he not want to sing this song anymore. I might understand how he wants to do his own thing but that wasn't Minsky Minsk singing that was the silky smooth voice of Mr. Lewis himself and he doesn't get his just do's. I love his music, all of it in all of it's forms.
I got to meet Eliot last Friday night (7/23/2010) in downtown Chicago. Hall & Oates was playing to a sold-out crowd at teh Chicago theater. I had 16th row seats for the show, and I was outside the entrance smoking before the show (along with hundreds of others).. Eliot came around the corner to take a picture of the theatre marquee when I spotted him. I waited until he headed back down the alley towards the stage door before I hollered at him. We spoke for 10 minutes - nicest guy you could meet.
...thought I recognized him from "live from Daryll's house"! (thanks to posters in comments for providing name.) Elliot's ONE TALENTED DUDE -really shining in THIS outfit!!
Dude...me too. I watched all the LFDHs and he was great harmonies and stuff but Daryl should have showcased him more. But really...as I think , he’s got AWB money.....lol he doesn’t care
I have one COMPLAINT......this song AIN'T LONG ENOUGH!!!!!! especially the chorus. I loooovvvvvveeeee his voice. He makes getting dismissed sound like a good thing.
@GordonKeys: Eliot Lewis is one of the most talented and versatile artists of our time.!! From what I've read, it looks like he is branching out, making his own CD's. He is also a very talented photographer. His talents are endless, his voice is incredible. All I can say is stay tuned!!
Elliot Lewis ,I know of from Live from Daryl's House , damn what a great vocalist /bass player . His falsetto work is out standing ,no strain . Hey Daryl let take some lead vocals on something.He is a awesome musician .
Eliot Lewis has a great voice and is really cute! Nice. Beauty and talent. I bet he's smart too! I wish he'd get back with AWB, or do some cool solo stuff. Not sure how much Hall and Oats I can take, granted they were great back in the day! HOLLA!

Just saw Eliot Lewis play on 7/4/23. He is engaging with the audience, & he is very gracious to meet in perdon!
I love this Eliot Lewis is amazing! He plays keyboards and background vocals for Daryl Hall’s amazing House Band, and has just put out a new solo cd that is great.

This is so wonderful. Eliot Lewis' falsetto is fricking off the charts. Great vocalist!!

Saw Average White Band sing this song live a long time ago and I have never forgotten how good it sounds....One of my all time favorites....
Had never heard this. Amazing!
These guys never get old!! Beautiful music!!
1st time hearing this version. Amazing vocals! Wow!
you can tell a great band when a live version sounds just as good as it does from the studio. these guys are seasoned vets
Agree

so true
Like this version of walk on by. I've been a big fan of the Average White Band since childhood. Awesome musical group!!🎤🎶🎸
My favorite version of "Walk On By." AWB is FIRE!!!
What a phenomenal tribute To Burt Bacharach, what a band average white band loved all their music glad I was around for it
I totally LOVE this version of one of my favorite tunes from the 60's originally sung by Dionne Warwick. Elliot's voice is just superb!!!
Not compared to the great James Hamish Stuart!
Eliot Lewis, is one of the best all around singers and players doing this type of music. On this song he even played bass, and may I add, some really great falsetto singing.
Met him today. A real honor.
and he is tremendously talented....
Jay Geisler I feel like he was under utilized on Live From Daryl’s. He is better than I ever knew
eliot lewis is a BEAST (singin' flawless falsetto like THAT!!)
I truly love singing with him, he is amazing!
AWB was out in 70s when I was in my early 20s. Does anyone here remember or know their music? love this but A love of my own is my fav..
Catherine Rew That's might favorite as well!
this is the shit
Catherine Rew man I listen to them all the time, excellent music!
When your a Teen in the 70s you know everything about AWB! Great Group!! I love them!!
Dude....cloudy, school boy crush, cut the cake, .....soooo many
OH MY GOD!!!!! these guys deserve a grammy for this , i almost cried........
Daryl should feature him more. He’s always just high harmonies at his house.he needs to be featured more. Wow, what a voice
Not compared to the great James Hamish Stuart!
@@felixkmgalanti9064 I suppose not
45 years and still going strong. Dundee Horns / Glasgow Guitars. I've seen the AWB more times than I can remember (last time Nov 2017 in London) and they are still the best by far soul / funk band of all time.
Saw them concert in Albany N Y. with this lead singer, and he killed it. They never disappoint...and I've seen them about 5 times.
HIs name is Elliot Lewis who plays with Daryl Hall.
One of my MOST favorite cuts by "AWB"! Tight! Thank you for our era. We did set the pace.
Absolutely Fabulous Loved AWB since late 70s - Still sound great today great seeing Eliot Lewis too !
still here 2023🥰😍🤩super bad💙❣
Still here 2024
Love the version !!!
Saw these guys I think in 1976 at the Akron Civic Theater, a smallish venue of maybe 3K seating.
We were on the mezzanine level about half way between stage and entrance and there were people dancing EVERYWHERE in the aisles. What a concert. Never been to one that was better for the AUDIENCE energy they evoked. Fantastic group.
What a fabulous band!
Saw them live in the late 70's!
Their live sound was superb!
Great playing, great singing, great harmonies!
Love the key board player! He was off the chain!
Always one of my most favorite bands. Such extremely talented musicians/singers. I'm a 60's faithful lover of good music!
Gosh he is just perfection! I love him singing this version! I haven't stopped watching since I came across this 10years ago.
Can't wait to see AWB with Kool n the Gang and the Spinners in May, 2023!!! Nothin average about this group!!
Smooth as silk stockings 🚬🍷🌹
As Eliot's current solo tour manager - I have been "bugging" him to put this song into his solo act - I think it would be awesome !!!
.....Do it!!!!!
They should!!! He can belt the tunes!!!
Please Eliot 😍
👍👍👍👍
And You're Absolutely Correct,Just Walk Up to Him and Say Hey Man FEEL NO FRET Think about AWB Fans.Just Do It.Love& Peace 😎😁 luv ya byo eJ
They’re retiring 😢 it’s been a soulful blast either way these guys from Queen of My Soul, Person To Person , Cloudy,A Love of My Own, I would save my allowance and buy an AWB album and still have them. Job well done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️🙏🏾
wow what a voice!
First time hearing this version & it´s a class one.Super musical arrangements.
You may not believe this but this band - The Average White Band were Scottish! From Glasgow, Dundee etc.
Stewart Nicol as BILLY CONNOLLY Most people do not know this!
dundee horns, along with THE MAN FROM DARVEL, THE SOUL MASTER THAT IS HAMISH STUART !
Average White Band. 'Nuff said. They killed this! Thanks for the upload, Odack Costa. Blessings
Superb AWB vintage par excellence in musical experience
I was in college in the early 70s. They out then. I live them and still do. Their music is soulful and solid. Yes, they are one of my favorites. Love of my own was the song.
Absolutely love AWB, saw them several times in the late 70s, Queen of my soul is my favourite track ♥️
beautiful voice Eliot !!!!
This band keeps getting better and better as time goes by. Just fantastic version of this old classic.
Most excellent from a long time HUGE fan.
That drumbeat's terrific!
For sure nothing average about that drummer.

They killed it...Great version

lovin' this version as I sashay and sway around the kitchen.... yes indeed....
They are one great band that I will always remember
I never knew who sung this song wow 😯 they sound so soulful. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I think it was written by Burt Bacharach and made famous by Dione Warwick in the 60s maybe. But it's been covered by many artist over the years. My fave is by Diana Krall.
Made famous by Dionne Warwick in 1964. Aretha Franklin did a version. A very good version was done by Isaac Hayes in 1969.
Yes I do. They are the BOMB. I love them.
What a brilliant arrangement! I sure hope that Burt Bacharach likes this!
Eliot has been a secret to me for most of my life. I am so glad and feel so privileged to have found his gift of music in middle age. Found treasure to add to my play list. Thank you! #eliotlewis
Saw the Band live in 1979 - Fantastic

High school for me ❤
