This is one of the most beautiful, romantic songs written. Every time I see this live it gives me the chills especially with the sweet guitar solo and his back up singer. What more can be said from a man to the woman he loves? Just perfect. Thanks Jamal for posting this one. Hope it stays up!🧡
Dayum. Never heard this rendition before. Katie's voice is angelic - a wispy falsetto - reminds me of Sarah McLaughlin and Dolores O'Riordan. She said nothing and everything all at once. Wow.
That's Katie Kasoon using her voice like an instrument. She sings with Clapton and a band of all stars on one of my all time favorite Clapton performances "Tearin'Us Apart" from Knebworth Part 16.
Eric's song 'Tears in Heaven' just wrecks me every single time I hear it. To this day, it rips me apart inside. This one is a balm to the pain 'Tears in Heaven' brings out.
Jamal, this is a true story. He was waiting for his wife, Pattie Boyd, to finish getting ready to go to a party. She thought he was going to be mad at her for taking so long but instead he was writing this beautiful song. Pattie was a top London model formerly married to Clapton’s best friend, George Harrison.
We've seen him live 4 times Each concert was masterful. I ttook my mom who was in her late 70s to see the Nothin but the blues concert also. She loved it. We had floor seats fairly close towards middle. Alberta,was her favorite song he did that evening. Great memory. He is my favorite I believe .
I was at the penultimate Stevie Ray Vaughan concert, where he was the final performer before Clapton took the stage (Robert Cray was on before Stevie Ray). When this song started, we all just went wild in the audience. (Jeff Healy was the encore surprise guest.)
This song was written to Eric's wife Patty Boyd who use to be George Harrison wife first. Layla was written about her and the Beatles song Something. George and Eric were best friends until Georges death.
She is Katie Kissoon. The other lady is Tess Myles, I believe? Both have worked with Eric Clapton for years, I seem to recall. Katie's voice is like wispy silk.
This is one of 6 or 8 songs inspired by Patty Boyd, a blonde actress married at one time to George Harrison (Beatles) and later married to Eric Clapton.
That’s an incredibly smooth version of the song. And having just listened to Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On album again I’ve had a good reminder of what smooth means.
I don't know if you have ever heard of an Acapella group named Pentatonix, but I think you would enjoy reacting to their covers and originals. They are so talented and everything they do, they can recreate live!
Jamel, you’re my favorite music reaction channel. The way you feel and enjoy the music is like no one else on this site. I hate seeing what TH-cam is doing to your videos.
I got to sing this song with a band about twenty years ago and it was a memory I'll never forget. The dance floor filled up, not because my singing was so good, but because the song resonated with the people, and for a few minutes I felt the magic, the wonderfulness of it all. Thank you, Doug!
When i got married, we danced to Faithfully. 20 years later it turned out That was one sided... if i ever marry again, i choose this song. loved the reaction
Eric was not a "natural" singer when he was young. He was encouraged by Delaney Bramlett to sing; Delaney gave him his first lessons. This was about 1969-70. Eric complains now that his "pitch was too high" especially on "electric Layla." After his return from his drug induced hiatus, Eric got serious about singing. "I Shot the Sheriff" didn't require outstanding vocals but it revealed to him that he needed professional training. He engaged with music teachers along the way; his best 'practicing' occurred on his endless tour dates in the 1970s. The best way to learn how to sing is to sing a lot, which he did at every concert. By the middle of the 1980's, Eric's voice matured into the one that performs Wonderful Tonight so brilliantly. All through the 90's I thought his voice sounded deeper with greater range. He remained in top form until 2015 when he discontinued his world wide tours. Today, our old friend's voice isn't as strong or melodic but no less passionate as he approaches his 80th birthday in 2025. His legacy is firm; a great guitarist willed himself to become a great singer. That dedication to his art and his craft are the foundations of his career, and, why so many millions of people appreciate his work so much.
Look up the performance of this song on SNL. He slows it way down and it has so much soul! Give it a listen. It's amazing, especially the guitar solos.
If you want to hear the perfect marriage of singer and song, you need to check out Judy Collins -Send the Clowns!! No one and I mean NO one could sing this song like her!! It's her song, and HER song ALONE!!
Brings back the memories of my teenage years. Ty! Linda Ronstadt videos have Stayed up J. Could you do "Lose again" 1976 was the video in Germany concert she did.
As mentioned by others, Katie Kissoon making a great song, better with her brilliant vocal. For the folk who are unfamiliar with Katie's career, here are a few highlights. 1975 - Sugar Candy Kisses ( singing with her brother Mac) th-cam.com/video/rOYYfjWBDZs/w-d-xo.html 1979 - Singing with Van Morrison - Moondance th-cam.com/video/YincyGL3Dro/w-d-xo.html 2000 - Singing with Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - Mother th-cam.com/video/E4UQBdDki4A/w-d-xo.html 2003 - singing with Robbie Williams at Knebworth - Kids th-cam.com/video/yG0H5UX7wrE/w-d-xo.html Fun fact, Katie went to High School with Phil Collins, through her friendship with Phil is why both Katie and Tessa Niles (blonde backing singer) began working with Eric Clapton way back in 1986.

I what a man to say that to me. My husband died 4 yrs ago. We were married 42 yrs. I was 18 and he was 33. I help raise his 3 sons and we had 2. When he was dying he pushed me away the day before he died. He just didn't love me anymore. It hurt me. I am so lonely to be respected again.
Jamal, you must listen to Roxy music's Avalon and tell me that the same back round singer... also Brian Ferry from Roxy Music has some great songs... hi/their version on John Lennon's Jealous Guy is priceless... and if you haven't already, 2more suggestions for outstanding live concerts with multiple artists... Mad Dogs and Englishmen, and the Concert for Bangladesh. Both masterpieces!
I PITY ANYONE that tries to do Covers of "Wonderful Tonight" or Eric's "Tears in Heaven"... Both are so Pure and Natural, Any attempt for someone else to add/subtract anything from these Songs (or "Make it their own) will be doing both the Songs and themselves a Dis-Service.
This song was about Pattie Boyd. The wife of George Harrison that Clapton stole from. I've probably seen Clapton 10 times and every time he played this song It was always a good time to go pee and get another beer.
I always had a different take on this song, starts off with the wife making them late then ask do I look alright, yes let go. They get to the party and everyone looks because they are late. I feel wonderfull because I have been hitting the bar. She gets the car keys because he drank too much. He then passes out in bed. LOL It is a great song
My dude…….. please for the love of god DO NOT turn & look at the camera like that EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 you be having me dyinggggggg when ever you do it! Looking like the undertaker!!!!!! 5:16 😭😭😭 #YouTheMan #GoatReactorOnTH-cam #KeepMakingUsLaugh #KeepUpTheGoodAndHardWork
Funny/terrible story about this song-- I was playing in a cover band, & said something funny to our bass player during the guitar solo -- He cracked up so hard, that when it was time for him to sing the third verse, he stepped up to the mic, and laughed all the way through, he just couldn't regain his composure..ended up with the whole room laughing together...🤣🤣
Hello Mr. Jamel! I really appreciate your reactions and your comments. Your way of expressing yourself is really natural, which is really pleasant to watch. a few years ago you watched and commented on a guitar player Joe Satiani, the blues he played immediately made me think of this old Quebec band, Offenback, I don't know if you know them but I would like your reactions for this group. If you got time. This group is part of the history of Quebecers. ( Canada) Thank you pleasure S.P Here's the links ---) th-cam.com/video/y3FHlXq5hXc/w-d-xo.html (live-1985) !!! th-cam.com/video/VIgj7O84G4Q/w-d-xo.html (recorded) !!!
It's a beautiful song and melody...but, he gets hammered and she has to take him home and put him to bed. lol...not really my dream! 😂 But still, a beautiful song.

This is definitely a top 5 couples song and I'm sure I'm not the only one who played it for the first dance at their wedding. ✌️
This song WAS played at my wedding! Clapton playing the guitar is a beautiful thing.
That vocal solo was absolutely wonderful tonight. Wow, I have never heard this rendition and I am moved. Beautiful.

@brianjohnston - (aka my AC/DC brother hee hee) He SOOOO is!!! Absolute GOAT! Clapton fan for yrrrssss 👍💯

I think Eric has reached the Himalaya of guitar playing. Not a single note wasted, so precise and soulful, tugging at your heartstrings...
Eric's song 'Tears in Heaven' just wrecks me every single time I hear it. To this day, it rips me apart inside. This one is a balm to the pain 'Tears in Heaven' brings out.

Layla was written about her and Something from George
We've seen him live 4 times
Each concert was masterful. I ttook my mom who was in her late 70s to see the Nothin but the blues concert also. She loved it. We had floor seats fairly close towards middle. Alberta,was her favorite song he did that evening. Great memory. He is my favorite I believe .
This song just brings back so many memories. So I'ii just sit and listen and cry happy and sad tears. Thanks Jamel for the memories.
@dorothylloyd - Ditto! ❤️💔🤗
Thank you for helping to keep great music alive. Your channel brings me so much joy
at an eric clapton concert my brother said "he has the guitar plugged into his heart". Think of him whenever I hear this
I was at the penultimate Stevie Ray Vaughan concert, where he was the final performer before Clapton took the stage (Robert Cray was on before Stevie Ray). When this song started, we all just went wild in the audience. (Jeff Healy was the encore surprise guest.)
Was that at Alpine Valley Wisconsin? the night before Stevie died in the Helicopter crash
@@stevenseul361 Yes, Saturday night. We noticed the fog on our drive home-it must have been a lot worse after Sunday’s show to cause the crash.
@@kathyastrom1315 I was there also Robert Cray with the Menphis Horns open Then SRV then Eric what a great show!
This song was written to Eric's wife Patty Boyd who use to be George Harrison wife first. Layla was written about her and the Beatles song Something. George and Eric were best friends until Georges death.
I was lookimg for a comment that mentions this your spot on about this song
I think due to the fact he is a guitar legend I think his vocals throughout his career has been underrated.
LOVE this song. It was my senior prom theme song.
She is Katie Kissoon. The other lady is Tess Myles, I believe? Both have worked with Eric Clapton for years, I seem to recall. Katie's voice is like wispy silk.
That band is absolutely amazing! The lady Peggy Sues voice and appearance is beautiful!
Clapton wrote the song about Pattie Boyd while he was waiting for her to get ready to attend Paul and Linda McCartney's annual Buddy Holly party.
This is one of 6 or 8 songs inspired by Patty Boyd, a blonde actress married at one time to George Harrison (Beatles) and later married to Eric Clapton.
Yesssss Jamel! This song is and always has been and will be tip-top of my favorites of Eric’s- AND I LOVE me some Eric Clapton,period! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💜🙂✨
The vocalist is Katie Kissoon. I love listening to this version of Wonderful Tonight
This has been our song for 38 years this year!
That’s an incredibly smooth version of the song. And having just listened to Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On album again I’ve had a good reminder of what smooth means.
never heard that version before. the vocalist at the end is a-mazing. wow
That's Katie Kissoon. She toured with Eric in the late '90s-'00s.
I could not tell the difference between the women's voice and the guitar toward the end. I'm sure that was intentional. Lovely.
I used to sing this song in my band, and the main lead singer of my band sang it at my wedding.
One of his best!!!!!!! Makes my think of my best friend in Cyprus 💞💞👩👩👧👦
Where did the lady at the end that voice? Clapton incredible guitar with that beautiful voice!!! BEAUTIFUL
Danced to this song multiple times at weddings with my bf...it makes me cry everytime because it's so romantic
I don't know if you have ever heard of an Acapella group named Pentatonix, but I think you would enjoy reacting to their covers and originals. They are so talented and everything they do, they can recreate live!

"Old Love" is a must. Check out the live version. You won't be disappointed.
I 100% agree with the look you gave after Katie Kissoon sang!
That was wonderful, tonight. Thanks.
Love this song, and his mellow voice.
What a WONDERFUL SONG..SO GLAD YOU ENJOY IT as much as ALOT of people
When i got married, we danced to Faithfully. 20 years later it turned out That was one sided... if i ever marry again, i choose this song. loved the reaction
The ever-so-beautiful Katie Kissoon
Thanks for the video MR, came in nice n clear here

Katie Kissoon on vocals, the great Nathan East on bass. (And that's a trail worth following.)
Beautiful voice on a beautiful woman.
There is some video of eric,bb king buddy guy, Jimmy Vaughan. Rock me baby. And also the thrill is gone. Experience performance from all
👍😎 I’ve watched it many times, beyond great.
Look up the performance of this song on SNL. He slows it way down and it has so much soul! Give it a listen. It's amazing, especially the guitar solos.
This was my prom song in 1981!
A great romantic song and a great performance👏
Wonderful.
Such a great song.
Die hard Clapton fan for years!! My wedding dance song
If you want to hear the perfect marriage of singer and song, you need to check out Judy Collins -Send the Clowns!! No one and I mean NO one could sing this song like her!! It's her song, and HER song ALONE!!
3:26
If you have a partner and you’re not slow dancing when this song comes on… you have ice in your veins.
That's Nathan East on bass. He's been with Eric forever. So has Katie singing backup.
Brings back the memories of my teenage years. Ty! Linda Ronstadt videos have Stayed up J. Could you do "Lose again" 1976 was the video in Germany concert she did.
Love this song

This was the theme for my Junior prom
Makes me feel good🌷🎸🙂
I what a man to say that to me. My husband died 4 yrs ago. We were married 42 yrs. I was 18 and he was 33. I help raise his 3 sons and we had 2. When he was dying he pushed me away the day before he died. He just didn't love me anymore. It hurt me. I am so lonely to be respected again.
Cheers mate 😎 👌
THIS is why they called him slow hand!!
love this song. also please play just when i needed you most by randy van warmer thanks
Beautiful song, great guitar. Not crazy about the lady singer. Good reaction as always
Don't know how you did it, Jamel. But, it worked!
One of my favorite songs ever! Thank you Jamel!
Oh my God ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😊
I was wondering when you were going to do music again
Jamal, you must listen to Roxy music's Avalon and tell me that the same back round singer... also Brian Ferry from Roxy Music has some great songs... hi/their version on John Lennon's Jealous Guy is priceless... and if you haven't already, 2more suggestions for outstanding live concerts with multiple artists...

Both are so Pure and Natural, Any attempt for someone else to add/subtract anything from these Songs (or "Make it their own) will be doing both the Songs and themselves a Dis-Service.
My mom and dad's song
Clapton wrote this for his girlfriend (future wife) Pattie Boyd... ex-wife of George Harrison
Jamal try out JJ GREY AND MOFRO- “Lochloosa” live . Definitely a masterpiece
You need to react to Jeff Beck, the guitarists guitarist. Taken way to soon. Cause we ended as lovers, goodbye pork pie hat, she’s a woman
I love this song...live is even better, and yes the woman humming/heying was extra and not in the original song
Have you ever heard Earth Song by Michael Jackson? If not, a reaction would be great!
Have you heard “Rock and roll heart”?
This song was about Pattie Boyd. The wife of George Harrison that Clapton stole from. I've probably seen Clapton 10 times and every time he played this song It was always a good time to go pee and get another beer.
Hilarious

I feel wonderfull because I have been hitting the bar. She gets the car keys because he drank too much. He then passes out in bed. LOL It is a great song
Her voice is so familiar, does anyone recognize her from Avalon maybe???
This is one of the most iconic songs for a wedding dance. I wouldn't be afraid to bet that it was played at every wedding from 1977-2015.

Rory Gallagher Shin Kicker
Do you know his nickname???
This song was for George Harrison's ex-wife Patty Boyd
This song makes me physically ill. It is the epitome of sap.
It's a beautiful song and melody...but, he gets hammered and she has to take him home and put him to bed. lol...not really my dream! 😂 But still, a beautiful song.
Do you think Eric really thought she looked wonderful or maybe she just tried on her 20th outfit and Eric just wanted to go the party?
👍😎 Great song. I personally could have done without the woman singing. Still great performance.
