Many people die in their 50s. Two colleagues of my dad and my mum all died very fast from cancer mid 50s. Age related sicknesses don't wait till retirement in your 60s.
imagine turning your disorder into your ultimate talent and become a star, it's like showing all his bullies and non-believers the ultimate🖕 that man was a boss, may he please all the angels in heaven with his brilliant singing🙏
It's not a disorder. It's just another Operating System. I bet everything that this approach to music is completely normal for him, just as it is for me. The only difference is that he dared to act with it. I dont do that 😪
One of my favourite songs as a kid and am ashamed to say, only now at age 36 have I finally discovered the man and the meaning behind it. Crying hard 😢 What started as a sad story for him he turned into a megalith of success. Truly wonderful. Massive, massive respect to you Sir. RIP.
I just found out about his life journey, the bullying at school, through alcohol and drug abuse. He certainly lived a lot and unfortunately left us far too soon. Great to hear him talking and to see this amazing live performance. Such talent.
You could hear the nerves tanking his performance at first but dude pushed through and thirty seconds later, he’s killing it. Performing live is freaking hard but this legend killed it at 52. Legend. RIP.
@@OGStarrSEC This was one of his first ever performances as Scatman John so I'm definitely sure he was nervous. This was only a couple months after the single+music video had been released.
@@RIKASTIGADORI don’t believe the OP was talking about his stutter in general. You can tell at the beginning of the performance he looks and kind of acts nervous, he’s also a little off key, but as he eases into it those performance nerves go away.
Are you disabled? Because it’s condescending if not. Some of us are so ill our dreams haven’t happened so sometimes a disability can stop you from doing what you love and even stops the simple things like being able to hold your head upright in a chair and sit up. Or the ability to move and in too much pain to think about anything except extreme pain not able to concentrate on anything but agony. I wake up next to my electric wheelchair every day but often I can’t sit upright in it for long so that affects not being able to go outside & enjoy life outside of my house. Don’t make patronizing comments about disabled people again. And I’m loosing the use of my arms but my dream was to get good at guitar
Я хочу вам пожелать позитива, каждый возраст прекрасен. Душа- она не страеет, мысли с возрастом обретают богатый смысл, как коньяк, который чем старше, тем лучше.
He definitely meant every word he sang that’s for sure. I’m so happy that he got to experience such success before he passed. He deserved that recognition. I just learned about his story a couple days ago; what an inspiration he was and forever will be.
As a kid I listened this song over and over loved it, now I just found out about his life and disorder. His an extraordinary example of perseverance and life’s love…
Песня моей юности, я знала, что он заикается, и это здорово, что он сделал. Мы видим мир сквозь призму обычных людей, но есть люди, которые живут с особенностями, но эти люди удивительные. Я русский педагог, работаю 23 года с детьми , у меня были разные дети, но дети и люди с божьим даром необыкновенные.
Remember - If the Scatman can do it, so can you. RIP Scatman John. Guy is so warm and so friendly and so genuine. How come all the good ones get taken so soon.
This is what the internet was and should be for. Not only rediscovering something magical from your past but being able to see its significance and the powerful message behind it. This man is an example of how you can let your insecurities become something wonderful. Truly an inspiration
I thought i was the only one feeling my eyes soaked...... This performance definitely came deep from his heart..... I just found out that he has stuttering condition..... So inspiring
I just discovered him yesterday, I cried a river for him today watching this video. I hope he’s watching down right now and that he sees how much love people have for him and his music.
Just thought if thus guy from back then and thos anthem hit... Now reslized he was a hero. Bullied for massive stuttering his entire life but found himself in scat and sold millions.. Awarded for his work for the stuttering comnunity and in the stittering hall of fame.
Amazing moment at 5:09 where the drummer starts those syncopated cymbal hits, John picks up on it and hits the plosives in time with them. Pure jazz stuff. RIP to a legend.
I stuttered as a child and teenager and Scatman John accompanied me through this difficult time. So brave and such a role model! He was also a gifted musician and singer. May he rest in peace! M-m-m-m-m-m-many greetings from Germany to heaven! Thank you, John! 🙂
@@gleepglorpgloop because John and his band didn’t mess around. It takes work to be that tight as a band and he had a fantastic voice. These dudes killed it.
You know, I stuttered a lot as a kid. I had speech lessons, overcame this hurdle and am now known as someone who can't shut up. Funny enough I used to love this song when I was a kid and listened to it on infinite repeat, I found out today this song is about stuttering.
He can say lines that mess me up and I don’t stuffer. “Why should we be pleasing all these politician heathens who would try to change the seasons if they could?” That still trips me up after years of trying.
@@SDRIFTERAbdlmounaim nope she s Canadian. Her French has such an accent it s barely comprehensible for French people. But the accent almost disappears when she sing
For fuck sakes. I really REALLY wish people knew what the fuck autotune actually was and did. Cher, one of the most iconic and successful singers that has ever lived, is basically THE entire reason autotune really took off in the late 90's because of her song "Believe". Since then it's been used by dozens upon dozens of incredibly talented, successful, capable singers to achieve the effect they were looking for in one song or another. It's not some magic mcguffin that makes some nobody who can't sing for shit just suddenly "git gud". It's a tool for musicians and singers and musicians, no different than any of the other tools or instruments they use, and like all other tools it can either be used incredibly well to great effect OR can end up sounding like absolute dog shit.
I had a stutter as a child. I’m 49 now and it sometimes returns when I get stressed. I was bullied at school for it. Watching this video brought a tear to my eye. What an absolute legend this man is. It takes a strong man to laugh and succeed in the face of adversity. RIP Legend.
seeing the way the band gets in grove with the Scatman is fascinating to me in so many ways. Just amazing chemistry between them all and one of the most beautiful live performances I've ever seen.
The lyrics, man. He could have easily used his skills to create one or many banal and simple songs, but instead he wanted to get a message across, and he wanted it to mean something to him, to his journey, and to anyone who might listen and see themselves in it. What a guy!
I was 12 when this came out and was recovering from a severe brain damage (1990). Memory was horrible but I had my cassettes and cds and listened to scattman and many other great talents then I always thought he was a man of color (blame the brain damage 😅). RIP scattman thank you for the hits
Ah, he'd be in his eighties. At least he was at piece when he died. "Whatever God wants, I'm happy with that. I've lived a good life and have tasted beauty".
I am 29 and have stuttered my whole life, when I was around 6 it was so bad I basically could not communicate. I had a speech therapist who I barely remember but she almost cured me, now I only ain’t stutter with certain words or when I am very stressed. one word which i have never really managed to be able to get out is my own name. Which is a bigger problem than people give credit to. Imagine someone asking you a basic question, like what’s your name, and you cannot say it. Recently I tried to sign up to a gym, the guy asked my name. I stuttered for a second or 2 before again, “I’m really sorry I cannot say it, do you have a pen and paper” Which he replied “are you taking the piss?” An absolute nightmare I can tell you. God bless you, Scatman.
@@jonathansl109 sometimes will say my sirname name first as it can occasionally help me get the tongue rolling and then it will come out. But then people think I’m being flash like James Bond. And it was the name my mother gave me, so I feel a sense of loyalty to it.
@@e.powell54 yeah I get it, you could give yourself a nickname for administrative purposes though, in France you can have an official name which is on your government papers and then you can choose a frequent use name that is the one you use day to day (nom d'usage).

Скэтмэн Джон - легенда! Только из комментов этого видоса узнал, что его уже нет на этом свете. Очень жаль! Земля тебе пухом, Джон! Я вырос на этом хите. Спасибо за классный музон. И спасибо, тем кто загрузил видос
this was insane, Scatman John, presents himself with such an humility, goes on stage, start to sing and play, with the local muscians who seems to have the time of their life, .... and give a masterpiece of live music, the groove is killing, everyone has fun, his singing is crazy, and he gives such a good vibe.... this song and this live is a killer and there is so much depth in his story, I am so sad for his lifestory.
Scatman John had much talent and a widely-applicable message. Most people who have a stutter are able to sing without a stutter because singing uses a different part of the brain.
I’m a fan of all music from jazz to metal and everything in between! I always loved this song and I’m glad he got to share his talent with the world, even if it was for only a brief time. Rip Scatman
I think just a few people can really understand how good this perfomance was, despite the nervous beginning! Doing it in a live TV show is nothing but amazing. I just wish i where there...
One of the best live pefromace of all time! This jazz version is thousands better than orginal! RIP John! U made huge impact on my music taste. Thank You!

Same here. Same age man

“Everybody stutters one way or another” ❤ R.I.P
I love that line. I didn’t know who this man was two days ago, now he’s my brother for life. The world lost an amazing soul the day he passed on. ❤

😭😭😭
I bet he had pity for you' all.
Scatman John was so wholesome. The world needs more people like him.
Oh no! I only know his song "Scat man" I never knew about his life. Is there a documentary?
Dont forget his stutter witch is how he accidentally came to make this song and died in 99
You could hear the nerves tanking his performance at first but dude pushed through and thirty seconds later, he’s killing it. Performing live is freaking hard but this legend killed it at 52. Legend. RIP.
@@OGStarrSEC This was one of his first ever performances as Scatman John so I'm definitely sure he was nervous. This was only a couple months after the single+music video had been released.

Certainly didn't help that either he or the band started the song in the wrong key, but he recovered masterfully
He started solo and was slightly off key. He picked up on it as soon as the music started and corrected it in a few bars. PRO.
Never let a disability keep you from doing what you love. You can be so great. Scatman is a great example. :)
Are you disabled? Because it’s condescending if not. Some of us are so ill our dreams haven’t happened so sometimes a disability can stop you from doing what you love and even stops the simple things like being able to hold your head upright in a chair and sit up.

That song was taken for a joke by many, but their is so much depth to this, way undervalued. Great live performance.
And what a rendition. They are killing it !!
When I feel useless and old, my heart warms up when watching John
Я хочу вам пожелать позитива, каждый возраст прекрасен. Душа- она не страеет, мысли с возрастом обретают богатый смысл, как коньяк, который чем старше, тем лучше.
How old are ya buddy?
You could feel those “IM THE SCATT MAN” down ur spine what a voice
He definitely meant every word he sang that’s for sure. I’m so happy that he got to experience such success before he passed. He deserved that recognition. I just learned about his story a couple days ago; what an inspiration he was and forever will be.
It's the end of 2023, and I'm still rocking to the one and only Scatman!
there's only one true scatman, that man was a legend🙏
i remember listening to this song when i was 8, still love it as much as i did back then.
Yup. December 26th 2023
This poor man passed away only 4 years after releasing this so. If only he knew today that it was still so iconic.
It still is and always will be!❤

Scatman John merece um filme contando sua história de vida! 👏
There is a film coming soon! It was announced last year by The Hollywood Reporter
@@gyhio9really, hope it's true
A documentary (unrelated to the upcoming biopic film) and a written biography are also on the way.
We want scatman on VINYL!!!
As a kid I listened this song over and over loved it, now I just found out about his life and disorder. His an extraordinary example of perseverance and life’s love…
And an incredible example of courage. I loved it so much as a kid, I had no clue he had a stutter. It was just cool af.
1995
I was 22 when this hit came out and now I’m almost as old as the scatman was in this video.
Time truly flies by
Exactly like me haha
Lyrics are not the same as the original
What yr did this song come out?
Me too 😂
Time flies by so quick
If only he knew that people continue to admire his talent and listen to his songs)
I think he knows it
The feels. I really hope theres an afterlife and John is smiling down us from wherever that is
He passed away exactly 25 years ago. Thank you for the music Scatman John 🤟💌🌍 love your vibe
Great voice and artist! Rest in peace John.
💯
💯 and that guitarist got down on the solo
Oh wow, all this time didn't even know that he stuttered. Love him even more for this!
You clearly didn't listen to his lyrics hard enough.
Вечная память, в детстве очень нравились его треки, как и сейчас
Just like WOW
That guitarist is incredible.
Big ups to the bass player also
What are you doing here lol
Scatman soloin his beatbox / invisible guitar.
For anyone interested I think his name is Mats Johansson.
The bass player is the real MVP
A life Well Lived. Rest in Peace.

Eu sei que ouvi demais essa em 94,95,96 e não tinha ideia de quem era. Nunca será esquecida!
The song is still very fancy and his style is also very modern even almost after 30 years.. incredible..
Скэтман Джон это Легенда ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Спасибо за Детство Джон 🎙🎙🎙🎤🎤🎤🎷🎷🎷R.I.P....
Как пел для мира так и развеян по нему пеплом. Один из тех ,немногих, великих людей, что сделал для музыки больше, чем многие, современники вместе взяты за десятилетия не сделали
Dude. You have done humanity a great service. This song makes me cry. If the Scatman can do it so can you!
