the magic of this video, together with Paolo's wonderful voice, is the stunnig band playing with him, Lee Ritenour on guitar, JR Robinson on drums, Nathan East on bass, Greg Phillinganes on keys ... what can you ask for more ?
Some off the comments on here about Paolo not having a good voice go and listen to him sing mercy mercy me, iron sky, and last request. And you will take back everything you said
It's too bad Eric Tagg wasn't the fill in singer. That dude doesn't fit at all and to grunt and growl though Lee Ritenour's solo is a travesty. What a band!!! (Minus the singer)
I'd never heard of Paolo Nutini before watching this vid, and due to his excessive vocalizing over one of the greatest guitar parts ever, I have no interest in pursuing his music any further. Good musicians - including singers - know when to STFU.
Good musicians - including singers - know when to STFU. exactly ! Or atleast LOOK at the MD/conductor if they do not know the material like this guy Greg TRIED to save this professional amateur @ 3:13 to no avail. I could not believe he was attempting to "vocalize" during the best part of the song.
My dad "JR" is rockin' the drums.. sweet.

you missed the great Paul Jackson jr-Second guitarist...
Wow!! Lett Ritenour and Paul Jackson Jr playing the iconic solo.. Sweet!
looking for transcription
Lee Ritenour played the actual solo on The Brothers Johnson album.
j'adore cette chanson thanks paolo
omg...why i didn't sea/hear that one before.... 😍
Was this the ONLY guy they could find to sing this song?
laney50w , hes fantastic!!
Nobody could do it better than him
This is an awesome version......
I agree all this idiot did was sound like a cat in heat trying to sing and screwing up Lee Ritenour’s classic guitar riff!
Nice licks from Rit, and East and JR Robinson, very good. Wish they had another singer though, he's a lightweight here.
and Greg Philliganes-key, Paul Jackson Jr -Second Guitar

No thanks! This was painful enough! 🤮
Excellent Merci!
And Ritenour performed the solo on the original song!
Ritenour performed on the Brothers Johnson COVER of the Shuggie Otis original.
Yes. I heard it last week for the first time. That's why I was searching for the song on RUclips.
Lee rocked that solo
Paolo aspettiamo il tuo nuovo CD , fai presto !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
john is groovin music genius.
AWSOOOME !!!
отлично, превосходно, но было бы лучше без голоса этого певца
Came here for the Lee Ritenour solo. But all is good stuff. Impressive lineup
Very good cover....the band is awesome! The only mistake is the singer!
SO true
WOW! That's your Dad??? He's awesome! What a great gig to play!! Who does he usually play with? He's great and this version with Paolo is rockin'!
Dang, please tell your dad he's got it going on! And I know Quincy would have no musician who didn't.
Mi Paolo andaba super pandroso en esos años, pero siempre se ha visto guapo
swiller2: He plays with a lot of people. He's got his own group right now TRW and he does his solo thing too.
This guy "singing" reminds of the Jamie Kennedy Experiment skits 😂😮😂
Lee Rittenour getting that shit
john jr robinson got the pick op gooooooooooooooddddddddaaaaaaaaammm
True, but since this was for a Quincy Jones BD celebration I was referring to that version. I've never even heard the Otis version, have you?
Help me I'm completely stuck on this video
This fool ruined Lee Ritenour's solo riff.
Some people don't know when to STFU
He did a way better job than Akon that's for sure
well it's his show so...
@shonha1 akon is sngin like a chipmunk
@shonha1 akon is singin like a chipmunk
"so called singer"?
lol :)) that hair!!!!

That was a very effective diss and I agree with you
weak vocal

Greg TRIED to save this professional amateur @ 3:13 to no avail.

Shuggie Otis AND 52 year old Beethoven should lump this fool up!!!
I hope the "singer" is on drugs because if he's not high or drunk he really fooled me 😂😮😂
Def high/drunk/ whatever.
Sad thing is that he can SING 😭 just not here apparently....
