    So excited to have the incredibly talented Rogelio Douglas Jr. back for another video! Who's seen him emcee on the #PMJTour so far?

      Saw him in Vancouver last weekend.
      Great show!
      And please don't hold his encouraging illegal dancing against him 😀
      Pro tip -- Don't watch the Twitter feed and then be surprised when the cast changes! (Absolutely thrilled when Rogelio introduced Gunhild :-))

    I had the great fortune of hearing Rogelio Douglas Jr sing this at the Ryman in Nashville on 7/30. I’m not super religious but sitting in the pews of that old church while he belted out this song filled me with a spirit that had tears of joy streaming down my face and appreciating how lucky I was to be a human being who could experience the majesty of Rogelio, Scott Bradlee, and #PMJ. Thank you for existing.

    I wasn't so sure about the arrangement at first, thinking they stripped away the urgency from the original song. I was wrong. This is such a stellar rendition. Rogelio is masterful; his pleading and soulful voice pulls us in. And, not to mention, the backup vocals add so much to it.

    This performance is one of my favorite R&B performances of all time. Rogelio is an incredible voice, and this puts him, in my opinion, of individual performances by an R&B singer in the top 20, all time. The emotion felt from his display is heartfelt. Before you disagree, please watch.

    LYRICS in case yall wanna sing-a-long
    I've been roaming around,
    Always looking down and all I see
    Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
    You know that I could use somebody
    You know that I could use somebody
    Someone like you
    And all you know and how you speak
    Countless lovers
    Undercover of the street
    You know that I could use somebody
    You know that I could use somebody
    Someone like you
    Off in the night while you live it up,
    I'm off to sleep
    Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
    I hope it's gonna make you notice
    I hope it's gonna make you notice
    Someone like me
    Someone like me
    Someone like me, somebody
    Go and let it out
    Someone like you, somebody
    Someone like you, somebody
    Someone like you, somebody
    I've been roaming around,
    Always looking down and all I see

    Just saw #pmjtour two days ago in Cambridge UK. The whole show was fabulous but his vocals. He had a standing ovation at one point. I hope he keeps doing #pmjtour shows. I was particularly lucky to be in a box by the stage so got a good view of the show. everyone needs to see it.

    Ooooooh Otis reincarnated! Chuck in some Hammond (and the drummer gets a spotlight today too!) and we have four minutes of honey from heaven! Another awesome offering! Thanks! @Scott Bradlee

    I saw this performed live Oct 8, 2021 in Pittsburgh (Munhall) and was absolutely blown away. I think it was the premier. So many in the crowd were in tears, and I may have been one of them.

    Scott is that really you? Piano AND organ AND the drummer is unlocked to boot. Awesome cover, thanks!

    Who I am to talk about this precious thing????? OMG
    Everything that y'all put your hands (or, better, your hearts) can be even better than the originals songs.
    Me and my ears, on a especially way, wanna thank you all for this gift. 💕
