Well, all I can say, my friend is that this cover would certainly make Carly Simon proud…. Absolute perfection, and nice to hear a male vocal on it as a change of pace.
Russ I’m so pleased to have discovered your channel. The songs bring back so many memories for sure but your talent and ability to break down the music and vocals and engineer everything so beautifully makes these songs come back to life for us boomers. What a joy. Great job. I love what you’re doing.
Most of the people, when covering famous songs, tend to twist a little, exaggerate or over-perform to distinguish their talent. But you were holding just right, so well, the best version I've ever listened. Also thanks for the story in the description, been listening to this song for the last 50 years and never cared about what it says, but I read through yours... interesting!!!
Thanks, I'm glad to hear you picked up on that. One thing I hate is when I go see a cover band and they try to sing like the person on the record. I always go the 'just be yourself' route.
Wow! That was just fabulous. I'm amazed that you were able to get to Carly Simon's range, and hit every note, dead-on. (If you were able to make it up all the way up to Joni Mitchell's or Judy Collins' register, I'd be really astonished, LOL)
Damn dude! Nice cover and incredible voice! So I’ve gone through half a dozen or so covers of this looking for a good one and you are the only one that understands how important that bass twiddle in the intro is to this song. Wonderful talent! I’m now on the trail of looking for what else you’ve done.
Absolutely great russ. It was 1973 when Carly Simon wrote this song for Warren beatty. You should call mick jagger to sing with you. (he was inside the song at that time) ❤️ Cheers from Napoli Italy
Fantastic, and thanks for the intel on the song. I only found out about Mick singing back up vocals a few years ago, and every time i hear the song, I find myself listening out for Mick's vocals.
AWSOME Brother for sharing Came across you playing Love Grows Then came across Few of your clips Brilliant pal 👍 Takes me Back when playing Drums in local band playing clubs pubs weddings ect pay bit of guitar (Badly)😂Still play drums 🥁 TOP MAN CRACKING VIOCE MATE👏🎼🎶All the way from few miles from Glasgow in Scotland 👌🎵🎶🎼
Thanks Brian; I appreciate it! I've been to Glasgow! Had to go see the Titan crane that helped outfit the famous Cunarders at the John Brown shipyard (I'm an ocean liner nut).
Beside you obvious musical and singing talent you also provide a analyze and explanation of the song, its meaning and how you went about to perform it. That's so cool. ...Too bad Klaus wouldn't return your call. Anyway : congrats and BIG like Russ
What a great story Russ - and glad you found your wings! #klauswouldntreturnmycalls Saratoga has me think of the Season in lots of English debutant culture which does take place in a modern / postmodern form at the races [eg Ascot - not during CoVID-19]. And the eclipses.
Good Job, you done well with your music class high school project.. guaranteed to get your A for the hard work.. nothin like a great song to light that passion.. but really I'm looking to try this vocally and see what instrument I might be able to also add to my already recorded track.. Keep Rockin!
@@russwilloughby501 Would you mind sharing what program you use to video all the parts and put them on the screen in a collage? I have long wanted to try to do that, and I thought I might be able to with Movie Maker Pro, but I couldn't find a way.
I have seen alot of covers on you tube , you sir are simply the BEST....
Well, all I can say, my friend is that this cover would certainly make Carly Simon proud…. Absolute perfection, and nice to hear a male vocal on it as a change of pace.
Many thanks; I appreciate it so much!
You, sir, are a bloody genius! A one-man Wrecking Crew!
LOL...thanks very much!
Wow. I didn't quite expect this! Russ covering the Carly classic. Outstanding!
As always, many thanks!

wow :) what a voice... great job!
Thank you so much!!
Wow!!! that was an awesome cover!
Super cover. Very slick production.
Sang along. Great cover. Cracked up seeing the version of you with hat backward singing those high notes!
Thank you so much. As you can tell, I believe in being comfortable (my wife says sometimes it looks like I just rolled out of bed).
Just amazing .
Thanks a ton!
Russ we all enjoy your narrative about the song or artist at the beginning of each RUclips vid.
So glad to hear....thanks!

Glad you like it! Thanks so much!
Fantastic, and thanks for the intel on the song. I only found out about Mick singing back up vocals a few years ago, and every time i hear the song, I find myself listening out for Mick's vocals.

Good Job, you done well with your music class high school project.. guaranteed to get your A for the hard work.. nothin like a great song to light that passion.. but really I'm looking to try this vocally and see what instrument I might be able to also add to my already recorded track..

Thank you! Will do!
superb as always, but i was surprised you omitted the electric guitar llcks in the fadeout.
Oh well...it happens. Thanks so much!
Caraca. Muito egoísta, pois canta, e toca muito. . Parabéns
Thanks very much!
I like the dude with the cap turned 'round !
He's a rebel....thanks!
Same old amazing Russ... thanks again. I'd love to see/hear your take on a late Beatles song. Or a classic...
Thanks...I've thought about doing a Beatles tune!
What a bad aass sound...great collaboration.
I always thought the line was "as you watched yourself go hot"
Nope, it's "as you watched yourself gavotte"
Very nice. With this song you need more than just one guy strumming
a guitar.
Thanks much....most appreciated!
king of vocal range
LOL....many thanks!
Wow! It took me a bit to realize one guy was playing ALL the instruments! Fucking great job! Just a lil bit fast on the tempo for me. But fuck yea. 👍
Sheesh, Russ! I may have to move you into my top 5 list of favorite bands, lol. And on this song, Mick Jagger's got nothing on your harmonies. :)
Thanks Mark....I appreciate the kind words!

Thanks for listening!
👍 👍👍👍
Warren Beatty
Better than Ned Beatty, I guess...thanks for listening!
Awesome cover, now do the guy's version!
LOL...thanks so much!
😆😆😆👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for listening!
Why the one man band? Like who wouldnt want to be in a band with this guy. Just wow.
LOL. Thanks so much!
Drumming sucks...
