I am totally floored as I was transported back to to my childhood in Summer 1971. I never thought I'd hear this song recreated again in the original arrangement. Thank you Sir. They don't make'm like you anymore! 😎
Great recording RUSS... you really captured the spirit of THE FORTUNES song, and doing everything on your own only adds applause to your talent. I spent 40 years in HOLLYWOOD, even got to meet members of the legendary WRECKING CREW studio musicians, they too would applaud your efforts! And I grew up with this song in East London, aged 17...
@@russwilloughby501 Russ... You made what used to be called a demo in the record business, only your 'demo' is already perfect and extremely fit for broadcast! You could use this same zoom model for so many other hits, you could put out your own DVD!
WWWOOOWWWWW RUSSSSSS JAJAAJJA. I really enjoyed your Quality as a musician. I am a 40 years old argentinian and heared all of this music for My dad. You have great talent!!!!!
Of course, another amazing video and recording by Russ! And now that you mention it, how about a Russ Willoughby cover of "You've Got Your Troubles", also by the Fortunes? That has always been my favorite by The Fortunes. It gets played every day here in Las Vegas on FM 102.3, our 60's and 70's oldies station. While they also play "Here It Comes Again", I don't think they ever play Rainy Day Feeling!
Thank so much! I've take a little break to record an album or original tunes. I'll be returning to my "Remake of a Classic" videos after it's finished.
@@russwilloughby501 My buddy plays a little bit on the guitar .. takes lessons that stuff - moderate player .. he came over some months ago and I showed him one of your vids ... he had seen you .... his response ... " he makes me sick . " in reference to how versatile and good you are and how he struggles with one instrument - LOL Oh by the way he thinks ;you're good LOL
I went back and listened to the original version. Then I listened to your cover. As I suspected you BLEW IT OUT OF THE PARK! Better than the original. In fact they all are. Thanks Russ.
This song is definitely a classic, thought of this one the other day and thought it would be a great song to cover in bass. You covered it all though, great job, look forward to checkin out your other work, thanks Mr. Willoughby
This is incredible, this is so well done! What I also like is that the band members have the same taste for clothes. Except for the singers, but at least they wear the same type of glasses.
The lead vocals were flawless. This song was such a good fit for your voice. Thanks for letting me come along for all of the fun you are having! Steve commenting from his home located outside a very small town in an extremely rural part of the State of Mississippi, USA
This is absolutely amazing, Sir. You truly are a man for all seasons. This song reminded me of another one that I grew up with, while listening to my mom's huge stack of 45s. Have you considered, "Wendy" by The Association? I think your voice would fit it well, and it has such a fun guitar intro! ;-)
Spot on Russ! I absolutely love your covers/remakes... Here's a challenge and a bit of a wish list: Any chance you would like to pull off songs by the Turtles, Herman's Hermits or Loving Spoonful? Would love to hear your version of "Happy Together", "Mrs Brown you've got a lovely daughter" or "Did you ever have to make up your mind"... Also, do you remember "Winchester Cathedral"? What would it take to bring that one back to life? (Memories...)
I love your "sleeve notes". I never realized that Macaulay was behind "Build me up, Buttercup", but I totally hear it now that you mention it. I agree, the lyrics are a bit melancholy, but this song has such a great vibe to it. You really captured it. :-)
I am totally floored as I was transported back to to my childhood in Summer 1971. I never thought I'd hear this song recreated again in the original arrangement. Thank you Sir. They don't make'm like you anymore! 😎
Glad you enjoyed it...many, many thanks!
Nailed it!
Wow ! Can barely tell the difference between this cover and the original !
I ask myself, this dude has more talent then what’s currently being played.. Why isn’t he touring? I would pay to go see this dude play any day..
I've done a little touring...it's not always what it's cracked up to be. Many thanks!
All this energy and talent for us to enjoy! Thanks brother you made an old 64 year old feel young again! 💯💯💯👍🐐🤠 Kurt
I appreciate that...thanks so much!
I'm 73 still alive and kicking beautiful song xx
This is amazing 🤩 you are unbelievable 👏👏👏
Remember when that song came out in 71. Your really good. Thanks for the memories.
You're welcome....thanks so much!
How good is this guy!! WOW!
Excellent, good to know there is people out there who appreciate good music awesome job thank you
Much appreciated!
These guys are super cool for doing justice to this beautiful song a hundred times! The vocalist is extraordinary! I'm going to record this.
Thanks for listening!
it's only Ruas Willoughby singing and playing all the instruments.😀
Bro, it’s ONE GUY playing and singing every instrument!
Maybe a vision check is in order. HE plays all parts.
Looks like the same guy singing and playing all the instruments. Hats off!
Beautiful, brings back great memories.
This is great! What fun it must have been!
Now that’s what I call music I listen to you every day
Many thanks, indeed....I appreciate it a ton!
Terrific, complex cover of a great song...another stellar performance Russ!
