Clapton said in an interview that he always wanted to sing like Roy Orbison, but then he realized that nobody can sing like Roy Orbison. I always loved that he said that
That was great! Clapton is one of the best, he never plays a song the same way twice. The Steve Harvey lookalike is Nathan East, he has worked with Eric Clapton (for at least 4 decades), Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Daft Punk,...
He also played with the incredible band, Stuff, basically the cream of the crop of NY session players... Richard Tee on piano with Steve Gadd was pure magic...
I'm a guitarist, but I've played with some great drummers and they all loved Steve Gadd. He was usually their favorite, or one of the drummers that played with Frank Zappa like Chad Wackerman, and Vinnie Colaiuta are the drummers most often cited as the greats, along with my favorite, Dennis Chambers. Yea, the drumming on Aja makes that my favorite Steely Dan album too.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 keyboardist, here, who's also been blessed by playing with some fabulous drummers over the years. A good pocket drummer with finesse makes all the difference. I was laughing, when I caught the first Return to Forever reunion concert--- every few minutes I saw drummers that I knew, as I was navigating the crowd outside and in the lobby.
JAMEL! My brother. I can't begin to tell you the amount of joy that your videos bring to me! It is like I am discovering my favorite music all over again. You get music! You get life and people and love and what it means to be a human!! As a fellow stankfacer, funk lover and jam seeker, i implore you to check out this SERIOUS SERIOUS high level funk. The band is Medeski, Scofield, Martin and Wood and it is Intergalactic Church Funk!!!! There is no way you will be dissapointed!!! @
I never loved this particular song despite being a huge Clapton fan. Then I saw him perform it live and my opinion did a complete about face. I was able to very easily forget the studio version existed and his band...dear lord, what a lineup! Nathan East, Steve Gadd, Andy Fairweather Low, Billy Preston, David Sanborn and the always amazing Tessa Niles and Katie Kisoon (I think I eyeballed everyone). Another great reaction, Jamel - thanks for a bright spot in the week!
The lady in the light colored dress is Katie Kissoon. She has been touring with Eric off and on since the mid 1980's and is considered one of the top background singers in music. Beautiful voice and she uses it perfectly to back others and really shines when she has a solo section.
If you haven't already you need to check out SRV on MTV's Unplugged, he was playing on a borrowed 12 string he had just flown in and he didn't have anything to play of his own.
I absolutely love this song. I'm still driving down the road, windows wide open and blasting this song. I'm still jammin' to the disc I bought when this song came out nearly 25 yrs ago.
Wish we could go back in time and see him live,5 times for me ,7 for my husband. Unbelievable performances. Looks like Nathan East on bass here if I'm correct. Outstanding.
That's Nathan East on bass. He's an incredible bass player who has played on numerous recordings for multiple artist and the icing on the cake is that he seems like a really nice humble guy in every interview I've seen.
absolutely. the tempo is much better in the original. got a better "Slowhand" feel to it. Lyrics kill ."I would be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good"
Steve Gadd - drums, Nathan East on bass, David Sanborn on sax, Andy Fairweather Low on guitar, Tessa Niles & Katie Kissoon - backing vocals, Tim Carmon & Dave Delhomme on keyboards... Jamel, they are all top-notch musicians and singers you may not know by name, but played on tons of records you probably do know or heard! Especially Steve Gadd, David Sanborn and Nathan East, they've got a big catalogue of recordings on their names and very different styles too...
This is such an impressively written song played so well - everything you could want for an uplifting listen. I really fell in love with Eric’s music from the “Journeyman” album with songs like “Old Love” and the Ray Charles cover “Hard Times”.
Clapton is one of the greatest singer\songwriter\guitarists of the rock & roll era. And has been almost from the very beginning of it. The Beatles' hit, As my Guitar Gently Weeps: the masterful guitar solo was all Clapton.
Eric Clapton is just about one of the best artist all rounder of the 20th century Although I would also say there are many, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, George Michael, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye etc etc . And Jamel, to some people who are on their own right now, they watch and listen to you. You BRING the sunlight into their universe . 🌞🪐
There is a very good reason why Eric Clapton is called "slow hand" when it comes to his guitar playing. He is jot hot lightning quick but he ckmes up with absolutely incredible riffs and melodies on the guitar that ⁷will change how you listen to music forever.
Nice one. Jamel, you will be blown away by this lady: I PUT A SPELL ON YOU' - SAMANTHA FISH BAND. She is so awesome and just hitting prime of her career. Aretha meets Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Slowhand IS a living legend. If you haven't reviewed it before, check the song he wrote about his son's death called Tears In Heaven, it's an acoustic heartbreaker if you know the story behind his son's passing. Thanks for all you do Jamel, in your own way you do change the world for the better. ✌️
Thanks again for your great reactions. Your honest reaction is what keeps me coming back. Peace to you this holiday season. Peace to Everyone this Holiday Season.
So the bass player is Nathan East. Check this dude out: East is a founding member of the contemporary jazz band Fourplay. He has worked with Bobby Womack (on the album The Poet),[3] Babyface, Anita Baker, The Bee Gees, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Peter Gabriel, Gail Ann Dorsey, Bryan Ferry, Daft Punk, Herbie Hancock, George Harrison, Michael Jackson, Al Jarreau, Elton John, Quincy Jones, Earth, Wind & Fire, B.B. King, Kenny Loggins, The Love Unlimited Orchestra, The Manhattan Transfer, Ed O'Brien, Laura Pausini, Savage Garden, Sting, Barry White, and Stevie Wonder. He co-wrote the song "Easy Lover" for Phil Collins and Philip Bailey. In 2013, he recorded the bass line for the 2013 hit "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk, which won Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (2014). Since the 1980s, East has been a member of Eric Clapton's studio and touring bands. East was invited to play at We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. in 2009.
It was in that movie, but it wasn't written for it. It was actually written by Tommy Sims, Gordon Kennedy, and Wayne Kirkpatrick a while before the movie. The version done by Clapton and Babyface may have been done for that movie. Not sure on that point.
Oh Jamel...you brought the stankface to play...thank you for listening to the greatest guitarist ever...EC...and the seriously underrated Steve Gave on drums and the gifted Nathan East on bass...THAT is how you slay a song! Slowhand can take his blues roots and channel it into an amazing song like this and make you want to cry for mercy! Please check out his cover of Stevie Wonders Ain't Gonna Stand for It ...you will be dancing in your chair in no time! Also check out his live version of Badge with Billy Preston along with Steve and Nathan....EPIC! Thanks for keeping great music alive!
Fine reaction as always Jamel, Clapton has been a global star since the early 60's with the Yardbirds and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and then Cream before going solo ever since, check out a beautiful ballad by Fleetwood Mac on the Rumours album , 'Songbird ' written and performed by Christine McVie, keep safe buddy cheerio from Glasgow.
Ah, one of my favourite Clapton tunes. Thanks for always sharing great music. Takes a lot of work creating videos. Watching your stuff gave me a little push to do a cover per day throughout December and it's sort of kicking my... Haha. But, at the end of the day, I just come back and watch your videos and it helps. Thanks for that. Been remembering tunes I've forgotten myself, and need to cover. Anyways, rambling on. Thanks for the inspiration man.
He was besties with George Harrison and married his wife, Pattie Boyd. I think they stayed friends. I read her book. Fascinating life. Married to a Beatle and then Eric Clapton. His song Layla is about her. Love this song too. Great reaction.
Three of the greatest musicians in the world are sidemen on this recording. Steve Gadd - drums; Nathan East - bass; David Sanborn- sax. It doesn't get any better.
Gotta feature Clapton with Derek & the Dominos- live song "Why does Love have to be so Sad?" from the 1994 Album Live at the Filmore East (recorded in 1970) - One of the best live songs I've ever heard!!
Love Eric Clapton! This is my first recommendation on this channel and would like to to consider the live concert from Madison Square Garden of Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood playing “Split Decision”! There are so many other song they played including Presence of the Lord, Can’t Find my Way Home, etc. The video and sound are excellent!
My Videos Are Uploading Extremely slow today Stay Tuned ✌🏾🧔🏾✌🏾
LOVE THE SONG AND A VERY BIG FAN OF CLAPTON
It's cool. We'll wait.
Can you please, please do Eric Clapton - Please Be With Me (461 Ocean Boulevard) and Old Love ( Live in Hyde Park)?
Thankyou sir.
Arrested Development.
Tennessee or Mr Wendel.
If you know you know.
Thanks in advance.
@@mng7096 great group. Such a fantastic vibe.
Clapton said in an interview that he always wanted to sing like Roy Orbison, but then he realized that nobody can sing like Roy Orbison. I always loved that he said that
sweet
The great Nathan East on bass. Always smiling !!!
GREAT bass player
nate east might do anything, while playing the bass... insanely good.
Everyone knows Clapton is a great guitarist but he's a very underrated singer too
I love his voice.
Agreed. And to think early in his career he wasn’t comfortable singing and being a front man
In his autobiography he said he didn’t think he had a voice, and didn’t have the confidence to do it. I love his voice. It suits his music perfectly 🤗
I could listen to him sing all day!
You can thank Delaney Bramlett for his singing voice.
Anybody who doesn't love this song just ain't right.
The way 2020 is going I want to wrap Clapton in bubble wrap to keep him safe!! Legend!!
And Stevie Winwood, and Bob Seger, and Paul Simon, and Dolly Parton.. 😢
Absolutely! I'm gonna put Stephen King in my bubble wrap bubble...but not in a weird Annie Wilkes way. LOL
Love that chord progression just before the chorus. Clapton and his friends always mix it up just enough for their live performances.
One of the best guitar/songwriters in music history. Sir Eric Clapton.
That was great! Clapton is one of the best, he never plays a song the same way twice. The Steve Harvey lookalike is Nathan East, he has worked with Eric Clapton (for at least 4 decades), Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Daft Punk,...
That is a killer line “I would be the sunlight in your universe” oh what a warm love.
Dr Steve Gadd on Drums..He's the one who played Drums on Steely Dan's Aja
He also played with the incredible band, Stuff, basically the cream of the crop of NY session players...
Richard Tee on piano with Steve Gadd was pure magic...
I'm a guitarist, but I've played with some great drummers and they all loved Steve Gadd.

@@aylbdrmadison1051 I actually know Chad and Dennis. I’m a drummer. I’ve been fortunate to become friends with almost every drummer I admire.

I saw him with James Taylor. I watched Steve more than James
This is my favorite by Eric. Love it when he and Steve Winwood tour together too.
Eric Clapton "Let it Rain"
Brilliant. Nathan East on bass, Steve Gadd on drums and David Sanborn on sax.. 👏
Eric Clapton Hits gold with everything he does.
Jamel, You'll love his "After Midnight", ""Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out"(Unplugged)", and "Bad Love"
Morons love Unplugged but actual humans hated it
Both the original After Midnight and his own remake from the 80s. I prefer the newer version.
Let It Grow...let it blossom let it grow...
"Bad Love" is one of my favorites on the Unplugged cd. Chuck Leavell on piano is amazing!
The lyric, the arrangement. Perfection.
Originally did this song with Babyface. So we'll done. Babyface. . .talented talented talented producer
Babyface
Babyface wrote this song and sang on the original.That's Nathan East from Fourplay on bass.🔥
@@Pugiron thank you Mr Helper
Him in the Yardbirds. For your Love.
Yeah with Page Jeff Beck!(:
The whole Clapton Unplugged CD is amazing, he's my absolute favorite solo artist ever.
JAMEL! My brother. I can't begin to tell you the amount of joy that your videos bring to me! It is like I am discovering my favorite music all over again. You get music! You get life and people and love and what it means to be a human!!
As a fellow stankfacer, funk lover and jam seeker, i implore you to check out this SERIOUS SERIOUS high level funk.
The band is Medeski, Scofield, Martin and Wood and it is Intergalactic Church Funk!!!! There is no way you will be dissapointed!!!

This guitarists was one Prince's favorite sof all time not excluding himself of coarse. And he writes his music.
I always love how anytime Eric plays acoustic he sits down, really adds to the whole vibe of it.
That bassist was on fire 🔥 They were all in the pocket, just jammin.
Brother, I clicked like before I even got through your intro.
I am the same way. Click the video link and immediately click like.
ME TOO. I’ve been waiting for this one! Still want to hear Forever Man.

One of my favorite by Clapton!👍🏻❤️☮️✌🏻🎸
From cream to this. If Hendrix was alive his acoustic would be cool too
If you haven't already you need to check out SRV on MTV's Unplugged, he was playing on a borrowed 12 string he had just flown in and he didn't have anything to play of his own.
His bass player is a bad dude on that bass. Outstanding!!! A good bass player is worth their weight in gold.

Unplugged!
👍👍👍
Slow hand.
All of Clapton unplugged is Great!!!
All time favorite guitarist....self-taught. Started out when Rolling Stones were starting out. Love me some Eric!
Legendary talent on that stage. Nathan East on bass, Steve Gadd, Dave Sanborn on sax
I really appreciate your positive attitude Jamel. It’s heart warming 💖
Another great song choice, Jamel - thanks for bringing the light. Peace!
Love Eric, ty for your reaction..you really are keeping great music alive❤️
This version seems much more upbeat and jazzed up compared to the way he released it and how it is normally played.
I noticed that, too.
This was good, but I think the original , slower version had a stronger emotional impact .
The original with Babyface is the best!!!
yeah, it's slower and more soulful.
@@brainsareus I agree!
ruclips.net/video/jR7kekXBp7E/видео.html
Them two live is pretty nice.
absolutely. the tempo is much better in the original. got a better "Slowhand" feel to it. Lyrics kill ."I would be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good"
Baby Face produced this song.
This is my favorite song from Eric Clapton!

You know Clapton is only going to.perform with other top tier musicians and boy can you hear it.
Eric has always surrounded himself with amazingly talented musicians as witnessed here.
The brilliant David Sanborn on Alto Sax.
You found a REAL treat here. EC is AWESOME
The whole Pilgrim album is good. Also, Bell Bottom Blues by Derek & the Domino's, Cocaine, It's In the Way That You Use It.
Yay! My favorite Clapton song.
Great song that I'd forgotten how much I liked it. Thanks for reminding me! 🤗💗
CLAPTON IS MY ALL TIME FAV! LOVE HIM..
Great song, great performance by Mr. Clapton.
Love this acoustic version!! Great review, as always 💜
Eric Clapton's "The Core" is a MUST listen!
This is such an impressively written song played so well - everything you could want for an uplifting listen. I really fell in love with Eric’s music from the “Journeyman” album with songs like “Old Love” and the Ray Charles cover “Hard Times”.

"24 nights" changed my world. Check it out, my favorite live album.
Love your commebtary, honesty and reality.

Backing singers are Katie Kissoon and Tessa Niles, they have been on Eric`s albums and toured with him for years.
Great Clapton song. ♥️🎼🎶🎵
Grew up listening to this man, from the Yardbirds, Cream, Derek and the Dominos, etc..."Further on Down the Road" was one of many Eric favs of mine.
"Bell Bottom Blues" or any song of of the Layla album!
my favorite Clapton song
So epic , iconic...Eric Clapton..enuf said!!! ty Jamal, xxx
Fun Fact.... David Sanborn, playing the alto sax here, played with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band at Woodstock...

I believe it's from the John Travolta movie "Phenomenon."
I forgot this. Wasn't this @ the end after John's character passed?
Yup, it is.
To be honest, I haven't exactly watched the whole entire movie. I've just seen bits and pieces of it.
Great great movie and definitely the better version of the song in the movie.
