Glad I'm finally hearing this - 5 years later.... at least it came up in my feed. Very grateful for that. LOVE THIS!!!!!!! Kenton Chen wow, what a voice, what a range!
Lead singer is fantastic. And, I would like to harness some of the joy the keyboard player has and incorporate that into my life. He's so happy! Love it.
Impossible to know which part of this machine is the best! I think the piano player has experienced more joy in 2:59 than I have in decades-long stretches, the singer’s vocal, the harmonies of the back up singers (this song requires perfection from these three - and gets it in spades), the hat-on-backwards drummer with hair so cool it might slow global warming or the rhythm section clued into the back up singers. This is extraordinary talent putting on a clinic in how to love what you do. Thank you for this video.
The solist is a great performer. Wow! Great voice, awesome confidence. Masterclass in showing everyone how to deliver a believable credible performance just by having fun.
Y’all do not know what this is doing to me! To hear these songs I grew up with as a black woman my mother sang them everybody did performed by who I least expect to sing! Goose bumps! Music will heal this world and bring world peace. Keep her coming!
Where do I even begin. I just watched this once and trust me I will watch this alot alot alot of times. This guy has some bad ass soul pouring through his veins. I am so glad I found you all and will for sure look at the other videos.
@Alexander Wipf Yup! 🧡 And one will repeat a song several times in a row. I love them all, I look at the musicians and the smiles when they know their in a groove or the singer does something so cool - true artists that become one and yet stand out as individuals. Geez, how did i even get on here, oh that autoplay, cause I now will have to listen to at least one song..hmmm, what song what singer. Oh, no, I chose a new song, great to see them again, okay, ciao and enjoy!! ☮💖
the pure joy of the girl who is backing (the one with white shirt) when they hit the note is amazing!!! all of you guys are amazing!!! please, keep doing it!!!
This is most wonderful. I guess Kenton Chen is captivating because he was not merely performing. He is expressing joy within that is genuine, honest and from the heart.
Unbelievable!!! The best cover I have ever seen in my life. Him & Stan Taylor are the best singers in the world to me. Such style & diversity. Thank you for not being afraid to be yourself and giving me one of the happiest finds ion the internet ever!!!
Your videos have just started being passed around by my musician friends up in Toronto - we are a bunch of old farts (60's and 70's) who grew up on this music. Can't tell you how delighted we all are that you are keeping this music alive (and adding your own personal touch to it). Great job! Such a pleasure for us :)
oh my god, here I am jamming out to Kenton like....this guy can sing. And then I look to the right and see Bruno Major on guitar?!?! Does this video get any better. Love
I've always said it ,the music nerds will take over the world ,scary pokets have just done it.there originality has confirmed it .never heard anything that good.dont no where you find all these amazing singers they just keep coming one after the other.god bless America.
This was actually done by Dionne Warwick "then" Aretha Franklin. It was one of many songs from the Burt Bacharach/Hal Davis (RIP) Songwriting Catalogue.
Come see us July 9th in Los Angeles, CA at Grand Performances! www.grandperformances.org/events/scary-pockets

@emilsnefernandez3326 not really.
WOW.. this cover was amazing
I want to feel the level of happiness the keyboardist is exuding throughout this performance.

Haha :D That’s Jack Conte, from Pomplamoose and CEO/founder of Patreon.
Yay for loving your desk job!
Never can have to much fun!!
He's so furiously happy! I thought he was about to stand up and throw the keyboard across the room.
I wish I was capable of so much joy streaming through my body.
The voice of Kenton is so smooth, pure magic!!
I’m obsessed over this guys energy on the mic I’m listening to everything having to do with him
He's vocal fire.
Holy crap, i dont know why i had the impulse to look up covers of this song, but im so glad I did. He KILLLLED IT. Absolutely amazing.
OH my.
My wife hates it. Mocking Saint Aretha! Turibile.... Jes Turible.
I think I will play it again. Wish me good luck.
Yasssssss❤
Holy is God's title to use it with excrement surmount to blasphemy
Same here.
Just look at the face of pure happiness of the pianist.
Lead singer is fantastic. And, I would like to harness some of the joy the keyboard player has and incorporate that into my life. He's so happy! Love it.
Dude is vocal fire 🔥

Kenton Chen. Go for it, everything the guy sings is absolute fire
His face is pure joy while singing...❤
The guy on the piano just makes my day everytime I watch a video 😂, he enjoys playing, expressions are countless.
He’s in Stanger Things
@@ShazShaun for reals? 🤔 😂
@@stephen-john1677 nah, he looks like the guy, i thought it was him.. that conspiracy theorist guy
He’s the CEO of patreon
2:12 I really love it!! I’m completely sure that I have been hypnotized by Kenton's voice, I dont stop listening to his versions and I never tire
Incredible voice! I need more Kenton Chen! Kenton, and everyone nailed this song! I'd love to see you perform live one day Kenton.
The Singer is so talented I mean really captures the queens essence
Everone can feel that Kenton has so much passion on singing & express his emotion. We love him ❤️
The way Kenton improvised the song..is incredible...itsn't easy song to sing...but he did it with joy....make it so easy🎤🎼🎵🎶

i love this comment
Kenton Chen is magic! Great tribute.
6 million views! That’s how incredible Kenton, the musicians and backup singers are!
Where do I even begin. I just watched this once and trust me I will watch this alot alot alot of times. This guy has some bad ass soul pouring through his veins. I am so glad I found you all and will for sure look at the other videos.
Omg. Been in this playlist for an hour now. Goosebumps all the way through.

Like me some Kenton Chen. His enthusiasm is infectious.
This is most wonderful. I guess Kenton Chen is captivating because he was not merely performing. He is expressing joy within that is genuine, honest and from the heart.
Kenton Chen is absolutely amazing
He had a look about him, like he thinks he is better than me.
He is.
Better than me.
And I'm living for it.
The two exclamation marks are appropriate, Kenton is a star
The sass is off the charts. Kenton gives me the chills.
I think I’ve watched this 10 times in the last week and it makes me feel exactly like Jack Conte at the end. Always cheers me up!!
Unbelievable!!! The best cover I have ever seen in my life. Him & Stan Taylor are the best singers in the world to me. Such style & diversity. Thank you for not being afraid to be yourself and giving me one of the happiest finds ion the internet ever!!!
Wow! Kenton Chen hit those notes perfectly! Love how everyone is having fun.
He looks like my accountant, but then he opens his mouth and channels Aretha herself. Respect.
I see what u did there #respect
Hahahahaha
🤣🤣🤣
I think he's voice is more like Stevie wonder.
ahah you almost killed me
I like all these Scary Pockets Covers, these guys add so much fun to the original songs.
Kenton has made "geek" .... so COOOL !!! His expression and range is just amazing.
"Geek" is just the first-glance impression of him. Once he opens his mouth, he is a full-on, brilliant funk diva..
at 2:04 the backup singers got their shit together. that was great
they did. they were off but at that point it came together
braylon randle It never came together! Lmao
I was like finally lol
it came together at 1:36
Oh,I just loved this singer! Makes my soul happy.

I KNEW I HEARD THAT GUITAR BEFORE SOMEWHERE, I just read the description and realized it was Bruno Major playing in the left. This guy is a legend.
Amazing! ALL the musicians are in their "zone" Georgeous and inspiring - Thank you!
oh my god, here I am jamming out to Kenton like....this guy can sing. And then I look to the right and see Bruno Major on guitar?!?! Does this video get any better. Love
Kenton Chen arrived and SLAYED this song!!!!
Then the arrangement at 1:42 when that bass hits...soooo goooood!!!!
Aretha Franklin would be proud!!!
This dude has a pure note voice. Love the arrangement. Great job!
Love Kenton’s awesome voice and the way he uses it…great backup singers and the musicians are so tight!
What a sweet heart! What a voice, what style!
WELL DONE Scary Pockets! And Kenton, if Aretha does get to hear this somehow, I'll bet she's ... GROOV'N IT. I'm glad SP got you, for this one.
Great cover! Love the addition of Bruno Major too - great musician!
I like the brief bit of stunned silence at the end when everyone was soaking in the joy of knowing how awesome Kenton's magic is
I've always said it ,the music nerds will take over the world ,scary pokets have just done it.there originality has confirmed it .never heard anything that good.dont no where you find all these amazing singers they just keep coming one after the other.god bless America.
God I love watching all sorts of different talented people come together with so much passion.
HOW DID I MISS THIS UNTIL NOW? I FREAKIN LOVE THIS.
If I ever find a genie I've got my three wishes covered. His voice, his talent, and his fucking charisma.
My three wishes would be the backing vocalists!
@@trevorgibb1019 100% = )
@@trevorgibb1019 lol 👍
Thank the universe for this collective.
Kenton . . . loved the sass & the snaps. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Awesome!
Kenton is a blessing on this earth
Wow, that man has a whole supernova of soul in him. Hot Damn! Not an easy song to cover at all. I think Aretha would be proud!
Well, this was surprising!!
Right?! 😳
Please check out my version of this song, I'd be very very very thankful
In such a great way.
With all due my respect for the singer ( he is an artist). This guy is perfect for a movie, the way he expresses himself is hilarious ;)
what was?
Oh my gosh... He has one of the best voices I've ever heard. Seriously! 👀
He's impeccable
2:29 The show begining. Great cover and performance from Mr Kenton. The background vocals super, super. And the group, the best.
The vocalist is amazing!!!! WOW!!!! Those runs hunny!!! This is transformative!!!! Lol
The lead singer has a fantastic voice! Back up singers were off in the beginning but got better throughout. That last note was sublime.
Please check out my version of this song, I'd be very very very thankful
The backup singers sounded off till the halfway mark
I absolutely love how he sings!!!
Pure happiness is what I feel listening to this, great job
How awesome is that pianist! He makes my Day. Put him in the spotlight!
OMG....What the hell.... Performance knocked me out. Totally unexpected. So loved this.
Unhealthy the amount of times I've heard this cover... hahaha I freaking love it! Hugs from Argentina 🇦🇷
Kenton is simply amazing...really love his voice. Hooked on him esp when he sang CLOSER...and he's got the swag too👏👏👏👏
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! THAT WAS SMOKIN!!!! Wonderful WONDERFUL Job Y'all! Oooo SO GOOD!
I am proud to be part of why Kenton can tell his mother he has 4.2 million views. We tried, my dude. We love you, obv
This was actually done by Dionne Warwick "then" Aretha Franklin. It was one of many songs from the Burt Bacharach/Hal Davis (RIP) Songwriting Catalogue.
Right I remember hearing Dionne Warrick? Singing didn't even know aretha franklin did it also
Dude on the keyboard looks like he's getting all the cash for these videos.
I'm pretty sure he is
tonydjangolopez exactly
He is the guy that founded what you know as "patreon"
@@freddy5563 Didn't know that... but for sure you can tell by the look in his eyes he's in love with money-making 😂 I guess I wasn't that far off 😅
He's getting cash for a lot more videos than his.
Come across your video by accident, my god how much i love energy and passion. Best morning ever
This is the best cover with the most talented lead singer Kenton Chen. Why he’s not famous yet ?
That is SICK STUFF! Did anyone notice how stellar the choir is?
Oh my gosh! The lead singer has amazing voice!! He's great 😳💖
I’m in love with his voice 😍😍😍
I love the clear love and joy he is having singing
Holy Crap! Just Amazing!
Kenton has “it”!
Incredibly entertaining.
Me encanta el cantante,se nota y se siente que lo da todo
He’s got a great voice - and a good sense of humor, I see.
my both ears and eyes is so blessed and pleased at the same time
Lovely performance... Reviewing in 2024
This is such a sexy, sensitive, rocking, shout of Aretha's/Burt Bacharach's love anthem! Kenton gives his all!!
