I have watched this DVD so many times I think I wore it out..One of the best movies to come out. Great acting, great singing and awesome music!! I even have both volumes of the soundtrack.
One of the Best singing parts of the whole film!! I just love how everyone is all into the "Soul" music and camaraderie of one another!! I'm black.. And I'm proud!!!!
When this was filmed, Robert Arkins (Jimmy Rabbitte) was going to be the lead singer of the band in the movie... then they heard Andrew Strong (only 16 at the time). They changed it so Arkins became the group's manager, made Strong the lead singer ("Deco" Cuffe), and the rest is history.
My aunties fella was gonna be cast as Jimmy Rabbit. It came down to the 2 of them but cos me aunties fella hadn't got a rough enough Dublin accent......they chose Robert. True story no bullshit. He was in a rock band & had they hair & all but just couldn't nail the accent otherwise they were gonna chose him. Funny i couldn't picture him playing Jimmys role in anyway. They made the right decision, he's a tosser in anyway haha & yeah it wouldn't have been the same with Deco "the bus conductor" not doing the lead singing
Thanks a mil, thx a trillion for putting up this exquisite excerpt of the indeed formidable 1991 Alan Parker movie. I quickly saved it among my "Most Preferred" ! I loved the film, loved the whole context of it and loved this particular perfect moment of the film. I also remember with fondness how the saxophonist pronounced to his amazed and aghast audience while practicing on the streets : "I'm black and I am proud !"
I always wondered who sang this tune for the band. Saw it in the theatre, own the soundtrack, always loved the song... never knew. Fokin’ brilliant tha’!
Soul, Rhythm'n'Blues irlandês (ou melhor, interpretado por irlandeses) já me ensinou, há muitas décadas, que alma não tem cor. Nunca mais eu duvidei disso, ou mudei de opinião!
even steven between this and Spinal Tap/A Mighty Wind for me Stillwater a close third funny how "fake" music can be so much better than most of the stuff popular right now
I watched the Commitments a few times and I've never seen this scene before. I do recognise it from the opening credits and from the soundtrack CD I've got. I knew Jimmy did the lead vocals to this one and I always thought Deco did the screaming. But I can't be right all the time
i dont remember this from the film? that guy never sang, he was the manager? No words are enough for a great singer like Andrew Strong... Love HIM!!💕💕💕💕
Think it was cut from film, shame as good song. On soundtrack though www.google.com/search?rlz=1CAMWDF_enGB734GB734&q=the+commitments+album+songs&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgFuLSz9U3MMw1KqsyVUJia4lmJ1vp55YWZybrJ-YkleZaFefnpRcvYpUuyUhVSM7Pzc0syU3NKylWAMsqgGV3sDICAMJnsr9SAAAA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi4it655a3kAhUysXEKHeQQBQ8QMTAqegQIFRAK&biw=1093&bih=532
So much talent in this movie. And can you believe the guy playing the Telecaster is none other than Glen Hansard. He sure hit it big a few years ago with Once.
Great clip. I had never seen it before. It makes me think that it was not planned, it was a spur of the moment thing that just happened. I have turned up, unannounced, to band recording sessions, blown harp, and ended up on their C.D.s.
I've seen the movie so many times and I didn't remember this scene being in the movie either. Thanks to the commenters below, now I know I was right. I love the way this dude did this song. Fantastic!
this film is a fecking legend, thanks for posting this clip :) An old Roy Head and the Traits from Houston, TX song..............Great job.. Danny Boyle how could you cut this from the film? It's feckin brilliant!

The Commitments: one of the best films ever for those of us who love rock. Beautiful.
Ditto fantastic band.👍
That surely true. I love this film, from Tokyo 👍
💯🤘🇮🇪🍻
Indeed. Saw it years ago and I still love it
definitely not for people who like rock 😂
On par with the Blues Brothers as one of the best Musical Movies of all time!
the sexiest backing vocals ever.. their voices are perfect!
Bernie McGloughlin?
@@Leo-wz4nh Sexy comes in a lot of packages.
Andrew Strong definitely reminds me of Joe Cocker: the voice, the face and the moves!
I fall in love, every time I see Angelines beautiful face.
Me tooooooo

20 years later...just as awesome as ever!

@@SandyYoung1 Still annoying partners while singing along.
Your comment is 12 fricking years old!
how can music this good not be popular today???
One of the Best singing parts of the whole film!! I just love how everyone is all into the "Soul" music and camaraderie of one another!! I'm black.. And I'm proud!!!!
That quote has stuck with me all these years. LOL
One of my favourite indie musical films of all time. Y'all gotta show y'all's kids this movie and love the music.
Best movie ever about rock, and what genius brought this amazing crew together!!!

And Glen Hansard on guitar.....talent here was unreal.
They were all amazing in their own right, but wow Andrew Strong... What a voice. X
Terrific story 👏 both sing well ...that's Irish 💚 ...we sing well ...act, write, comedic skills ...++++ many more gifts 🎁 😉
I wish they had had more success following the film's release. I could watch them very happily. Amazing talent! 👏
I had no idea this existed. Amazing movie.
Andrew strong puts everything into his singing what a genius of a singer he should have made it so far what a voice
i just found this masterpiece yesterday, it's just so beautiful, but i think it's kinda underrated, i wish it got more recognition it deserves
Not even close to the original. Good but not like the original.
Danny Boyle how could you cut this from the film? It's feckin brilliant!
Just bloody brilliant.
2018 anyone?
Love the bassline! Watched the film for the first time last night. I was expecting the worst to be honest, but i absolutely love it!
"... say it loud- I'm Black and I'm proud!!!"
No words are enough for a great singer like Andrew Strong... Love HIM!!💕💕💕💕
this film is a fecking legend, thanks for posting this clip :)
I love this song and the commitments is one of time favourite movies
No words are enough for a great singer like Andrew Strong... Love HIM!!💕💕💕💕
Although a very good singer, the film wouldnt have been the same if he played deco,he played Jimmy Rabbit brilliantly :)

So, love all that were in this movie.

BRILLIANT!
You could just vamp on a song like this forever, it would be an absolute blast to close your set with, or do for an encore..
Jaysus. I nearly prefare Jimmy's voice to Deco's. The screams at the end are class.
I have loved Jimmy rabbit for almost 20 yrs. beautiful man
Damn, this tune is good. Didn't know the commitments sang it OR that Jimmy sang! It's A+++.
Just bloody brilliant.

Best Irish film ever
Sorry, Best Irish film is ´The Van´. Check it out.
Best scene never in a movie
Soul, Rhythm'n'Blues irlandês (ou melhor, interpretado por irlandeses) já me ensinou, há muitas décadas, que alma não tem cor. Nunca mais eu duvidei disso, ou mudei de opinião!
I sit here entranced by this song. Every bit is magical
I absolutely love this film!!! Great voices and one of the most original stories ever. Has anyone read the book?
My all time favourite movie/music!
even steven between this and Spinal Tap/A Mighty Wind for me
Stillwater a close third
funny how "fake" music can be so much better than most of the stuff popular right now
great choice in music.!!!!!
I did not know this band exist, until documentary was shown the other night.I so love this Irish band.
💕💕💕💕Hot damn Jimmy Rabbitte sigh!!! 💕💕💕💕
Just bloody brilliant.
I had no idea this existed. Amazing movie.
Love this. #GoodMusic
Love the music on this movie, MDK incredible..
WOAW ! THIS MUSIC MOVES BABE ! GOTTA LOVE SOUL MAN ! AND IRELAND TOO !
I watched the Commitments a few times and I've never seen this scene before. I do recognise it from the opening credits and from the soundtrack CD I've got.
I knew Jimmy did the lead vocals to this one and I always thought Deco did the screaming. But I can't be right all the time
This particular performance was on the DVD extras I believe although the audio was used for the opening of the film.
This was also used as a music viedo for the song as it was released as a single at the time the movie came out.
amazing stuff. i owe some of my love for old school soul and blues to this film.
Yeeeeeh. Yeeeeeh... Yeh!
I'm dancing.....
i dont remember this from the film? that guy never sang, he was the manager?
No words are enough for a great singer like Andrew Strong... Love HIM!!💕💕💕💕

Jerry Hobbs I have it on DVD
Very retro!....wonderful!....(I'm from the 60's)

Deco Cuffe was 16 when this was made
"I like the sound of Deco"
"Deco the bus conductor. Is that top Deco or bottom Deco?"
