I like how he steps aside to allow the band to receive attention as well, thats a TRUE artist who knows even if you have talent, the band is what completes you.
I may have enjoyed this song If I didn't hear it everyday at work for years. It put the song in the context of overplayed pop tunes for me implying he is making quite a bit of money off his song about being destitute. That being said I love Bing Crosby's rendition of Brother Can You Spare a Dime, and I can't imagine Bing Crosby had to beg for money too often.
Motormouthmachine you must be better than...I don't know, Jesus. when is your next show extremely deep and meaningful show? Can we hear some of your music or are you just another douche bag with a guitar who knows how to strum a few cords and call himself a musician whilst critiquing actual talented musicians? legit question. send a link to your inspiring and powerful music. you've been doing it for 25 years so you must have something to back yourself up right?
+Gallow Gang Obviously, he meant that the average amount of soul in a song these days is much less than this song, which is clearly a rare treat, an outlier.
This is giving 1870 and 1970 vibes at the same time. Also shout out to the band for hitting those "daydream" by Lupe Fiasco chords after the 2nd bridge!!!
Seemingly, but rest assured he works hard at this excellence, and making it all look so easy is part of his art. Being such a great and lofty artist is hard work and tons of discipline. He is amazing
It is refreshing to hear someone putting it down like this. I had never heard of Aloe Blacc but, am a fan now. This is real music for the world. Keep up the positive vibe going. We need it.
The way he sits there and "speeks" with the audience - seems like a talk with a good old friend in a bar. A very stunning talk! The sound of his voice combined with the strings steales my breath away! Thanks for this and please keep it up!
I was listening to Billy Preston and straight away I thought about this song. RAW talent...... when you hear a pure gift, that seemed to only exist back in the day, it makes you feel good that God is still dishing out blessings to newbies x
Wow, so awesome. So good to hear this top song of Aloe with nice music of the string quintet .... hope he sings more like this, he is a great singer. Cheers.
This is the first version of this song I heard and I thought for sure Aloe Blacc was doing a cover of a song written during "the oldies" period. Come to find out, he was just born with that much soul. Mad respect, amazing version of this song.
He just looks so cool. Singing so suave and smooth while holding that glass of water.
arent suave and smooth the same thing?
“Water” excellent choice
If you gave him a dollar, he could buy a drink.
I think thts liquor
I like how he steps aside to allow the band to receive attention as well, thats a TRUE artist who knows even if you have talent, the band is what completes you.
Yep. Beautiful indeed. All connected. And as in life across the board, we all do better when we all do better.
10 years later and here I am still needing a dollar...
I understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I don't for the life of me understand how someone could dislike this.
I agree

Such soul. Such realism that we don't see today.
exactly...but i can really listen to anything
***** then what do you see in this video?

Do you still think the same? Wondering as I love this guy... He's got it all x
When the best artists in the world are listening good music, they listen to Aloe Blacc

AND I, DUDE. WTFFFFFF???
More than...!! Superb guy
10 years later, here.
@@thecrazygamingcow8804 Dont worry, 3 years later here I am replying lol
Just amazing! He's a industry killer! Nobody in the industry is a meaningful and soulful as Aloe Blacc
Pure talent. He has to be way more famous he deserved it 1billion%. Men this is music heaven♥️
This is giving 1870 and 1970 vibes at the same time.
Also shout out to the band for hitting those "daydream" by Lupe Fiasco chords after the 2nd bridge!!!
he so fucking good!!! his style of singing is so old school
That is called a soul.
old school is where the people actually sing not screaming in a mike. he has a true talent
Incredible...the world has longing for an Aloe Blacc....just simply soulful
To be in that atmosphere. He is awesome! Love it! He takes me back, and keeps me here all at the same time! Amazing artist
Yessssss!! It's very rare! Love it!!!
Man you don't hear great talent like this everyday..My hats off to you Mr. Blacc for not sounding like rest of them. You beat to a different drum.
how can he be so relaxed and casual and produce a voice like that. Genius
omg i love his voice! he barely has to open his mouth and it sounds incredible! i love when people have effortless voices.
Seemingly, but rest assured he works hard at this excellence, and making it all look so easy is part of his art. Being such a great and lofty artist is hard work and tons of discipline. He is amazing
WOW insanely soulful, funky and real....you will not see him on the grammys anytime soon cause he is a REAL SINGER
First song i heard from this cat back in 2010-11. Great memories. Thank you
Classy guy. He stepped aside for the musicians!
I never thought the sound of the orchestra and his voice combined would give me so much comfort
He's an outstanding performaner I love his style. He's amazing on all levels 👏👏
It!s so easy to sing and to entertain people when you have such a voice like him!!
Man, I'm so glad I found him not just from wake me up, but from ticking bomb and soon later loved the rest of his songs
You seriously don't get enough recognition for pure talent, something is truly wrong with that!
The best version of this song....HANDS DOWN!!!!
Each star has the light time. Now is Aloe Blacc. Let the light shine!!
such a lot of soul in his voice,awesome singer love it.
Goose bumps. Goose bumps everywhere.
Mr. Blacc, thank you for soothing my soul. Simply beautiful!
I'm 11 years late. That was beautiful!
I love how at the end he got off that tiny stage and bowed to the musicians! True artist
wow.....how does this only have 124k views?! this deserves much more than that. this is music at its finest.
It is refreshing to hear someone putting it down like this. I had never heard of Aloe Blacc but, am a fan now. This is real music for the world. Keep up the positive vibe going. We need it.
His voice is amazing. I love his music absolutely perfect
Chiedza Chikwavaire me too. I came from listening to The Man to here.
The way he sits there and "speeks" with the audience - seems like a talk with a good old friend in a bar. A very stunning talk!
The sound of his voice combined with the strings steales my breath away! Thanks for this and please keep it up!
This is better than other versions
Great song rec.
He sings like a STAR
Truly a,amazing talent and a brilliant performance
I could literally scream this is so awesome, so much soul in his voice...what a cool and handsome man, PURE TALENT!
Pure art! i desperately need more of this and more artist like Aloe. This is the kind of music that heal and put people in good places.
Beautiful
I dont know he isn't more famous, such a great voice!
You gotta love that voice. And that person who actually gave him a dollar!!!
He is amazing! Bringing the old flavor back! I love it!
The songs from these performances should be released as a video dvd / album collection!
It's nothing else like hearing a live orchestra hearing a live band play with a great vocalist.
just perfect got no words to describe it
awersome!
I was listening to Billy Preston and straight away I thought about this song. RAW talent...... when you hear a pure gift, that seemed to only exist back in the day, it makes you feel good that God is still dishing out blessings to newbies x
Excellent !!

This song definitely speaks to me
Such an incredible voice with a lot of class to top it off.
Amazing!

Aloe, Leon Bridges, and a few others, are keepin' that soul and that feeling and that stellar height of the art alive.

BGM: Thank u Shalom, Aloe Blacc sounds like champagne taste. Love it
