Hugh Laurie falls under the heading of "It's NOT FAIR" - gifted aftor, virtuoso musician, painter, scholar and apparently great at whatever he attempts. Love the guy (reminder - while playing House MD, he was faking the American accent, he is British!)
And his entire career before that was comedy.
Author and rowing team champion, as well.
that’s all i can ever think when i look at him but i’m more jealous of his wife icl
@@feralart A shame he never made a sucessor to "The Gunseller".
Rowed at Cambridge, and his father was an Olympic rower.
It's almost unfair that he's that talented as both an actor and as a world-class blues musician. lol!
The look on your face when he first started singing was the same reaction I had when I first heard him sing. You don't expect him to be that great. Thanks for the reaction.
wonderful comment, i love hugh Laurie's music 🤜🤛 have a nice day/night
Saw him (and his excellent band, of course) live years ago and it was an absolutely brilliant show. I wish he'd tour again.
He is an amazing actor, a great musician, and a fantastic comedian! He went to school with Stephan Fry and Emma Thompson and were part of a comedy group with them!
a bit of fry and laurie is classic
Hugh Laurie is mostly know for playing Dr. House but he's such a talented musician and his old comedy skits alongside legends like Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) and Stephen Fry in Blackadder are some of the best
Yeah I 1st was introduced to him in Blackadder shown on PBS here in the States a long time ago.
He was my favourite character in Blackadder. I still have the DVDs ..;that says how old i am I still own DVsD... it gets tricky when I want to play them since there are no dvdplayers anymore anywhere... I have to use my Playstation to read these wonderful Blackadder DVDs. Love Prince George, he's the best!
@@marie-anneguibereau7344 Same, keep my PS3 in the front room for Blu Ray duties and still have a Blu Ray optical in my PC as backup. Don't use them very often but maybe internet goes out and all I have is my movies.
Hugh Laurie is one of our National Treasures 🇬🇧 ❤
Ah oui alors, vous avez raison. Je l'adore, comme chanteur, ou acteur, il est parfait. Je me souvient de sa prestation dans "Les 101 Dalmatiens" ou il était si drôle.
After I saw PBS do a documentary of him and his blues tribute I bought whatever CD’s I could find (about 10 or 12 yrs ago, I think). I was so blown away by his talent, his interpretation of the music. I had only known him from “House”- I also started looking into his other acting roles. He’s such an impressive man.
That man’s talent is breathtaking.
Most people know Hugh Laurie as an actor (House, Jeeves and Wooster) but don't know that he has a passion for blues, jazz, ragtime, etc. If you know much about New Orleans music, you may recognize the legendary Allen Toussaint in the right background leading the band. Toussaint was a driving force in rock and roll, R&B, and funk. He wrote a ton of hits and produced some of the biggest name in the music of the city. Later in this concert, Laurie brings out Tom Jones and Irma Thomas for a great version of Baby Please Make A Change. The whole concert is on RUclips.
Pure talent.
You paused at the best bit! Hugh played the whole intro with his eyes closed, then looked up and opened them at the intro drum beat. Amazing performance, but look up his entrance to this gig.
Hugh Laurie is one of those all around amazing talents who can do anything. I was introduced to him a long time ago in a comedy show called "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" back in the 80s. Laurie is a brilliant comedian. I think he became almost a household name when he did House, MD. There are a lot of videos of Laurie singing on RUclips and they are definitely worth checking out. He has an amazing voice for the Blues.
Man, there are few things like introducing a friend to some music you love and seeing that smile on their face when they find out they love it too.
Hugh Laurie is a special one, but seeing a reaction like that is something really special too. Thanks for letting us be there for it.
The multi talented Hugh has been writing and performing since his early days as a comedian with his long time friend Steven Fry.
In the UK we know him for his wide range of comedy characters and comedy songs.
Let them talk, his first album is great if you like blues. Recorded in New Orleans.This is a small clip from a concert with Allen Toussant. You can see Tousaintt in the green coat. If you have watched House you will know his character owened instrument, piano and guitars and always listened to blue's and jazz .
Toussaintt also work with The Band and I believe was in The Last Waltz.
He dances too. Complete entertainer!
If you like him in house you should watch him in Blackadder or A Bit of Fry & Laurie he is very talented
I heard this three years ago and you nailed it there no other cover that would be better
Hugh Laurie is a world class everything. He was top rower in college, winner of the british national championship. He almost made it to the olympics. He has a Best Seller novel. Has 3 Golden Globes. Has been nominated to the Emmys 10 times, he's Commander of the British Empire. Has 2 Jazz albums. He sings and plays the piano, guitar, drums, harmonica, and saxophone and he even has a Guiness Record as the most watched leading man on television in 2011. Love than even when he's singing you can see glimpses of Dr. House in him.
I've been listening to his drug for years. He's so good. "Unchain My Heart" is another one he knocks out of the park
He far more talented than just an actor. I first saw him in “Sense and Sensibility.” I suspect his IQ is significant. Whatever he does he does well. I think House is play for him, something light.
It was Hughe fantasy to play with New-Orleans jazz musicians.
Yes! This entire concert is fire. You definitely have to check out the entire session.
Your reaction was about what my reaction was when I first saw this! I knew he played a little in House but I thought it was faked. 😂❤❤
More of this please 🙏
I’ve only seen Hugh in movies or House so this was a pleasant surprise 👏🏼
This is the song thY made me love the buse
I always adore seeing people's reactions to first finding Hugh's musical abilities. Saint James Infirmary in particular... I understand your sentiment entirely in wishing I could experience the range of emotions it evokes for the first time again. I love all his work. 🖤💚
He is a visual artist, a painter. No telling what else.
And his voice totally knocks it out of the park.💖
I absolutely love LOVE LOVE! the smokiness of that woman's voice! 😍
I've always loved Hugh's playing...and yes,its House, lol. He acts,plays, and is all around very talented!!😄im so happy you found this one!!!!!!thanks for reminding me of an old favorite..🎶🔥✌
I caught him in concert when he was touring for this album. It was soooooo good.
I’ve heard him play/sing before and he’s fabulous! Thank you for reacting to this!
I...had no idea Hugh Laurie could do that.
Dang! I didn't knoew Hugh Laurie could play or sing. Wow! More then just Dr House it seems.
I feel like his acting is secondary to his musicality
0:30 the realisation, hahaha, yes Forman, it is house
One of my absolute favorite performances from Hugh. And Preservation Hall is such an iconic place with a sound all its own.
He is a brilliant actor comedian and musician who plays piano, guitar, drums, harmonica, and saxophone
Thanks!
This was worth watching just for sheer joy on your face. Such an honest reaction.
This is some fine jazz! He's so talented. I love it
There's a clip on RUclips called "House Plays Piano With Patient" which is a scene from House where he plays piano with a patient, giving a glimpse of his piano skills. And that patient is also a musical legend, Mr Dave Mathews himself!
Incroyable que vous le découvriez seulement maintenant. Sa voix chaude est un plaisir et la musique qui sort de ses mains me fait frissonner avec délectation. Cet acteur, aux yeux si beaux est un trésor aux talents multiples.
I would had lived to play the saxophone with these folks. Wow!! How epic would that be!! Nothing better than Louisiana style vibe
I've been listened to your "reactions" for a long time. I always enjoy them because they are so brutally honest. Of all your videos this is my favorite; your words at the end brought tears to my eyes. I'm 65. I first heard this song over 40 years ago. It was written in 1925. It's my favorite song, and this is my favorite version. Thank you for your videos; but to me, this one's your best. Thank you.
If I could hit the up button a million times I would, Love this version of this song, it has been done by everyone and not as well! He thought playing with "Banned From Television" the best other musicians, but no he went on tour with the greats. He will tell you the most fun he has as a musician is playing with his son, a trombonist. I saw him do this live and it's why I pay for Spotify, so I won't be interrupted.
That was awesome
One of my favorites of all time.
Watching you listening to this expresses how we all feel about this amazing man and his talents. Totally knocks this out of the park...just wonderful, empathy and emotion. Thank you to Hugh.
I've had these albums on vinyl for a few years now and they are absolutely some of my favorites
This was GREAT.
I knew he could play.
But, I didn't know he could SING.
Brilliant! ❤
Hugh Laurie is an incredible talent all around. I'm a huge fan of his early career comedy stuff. Long before House the was Fry & Laurie and Jeeves & Wooster. What a killer musician though.
Amazing request! I was wondering if he was going sing in his regular voice or his house voice. What a surprise that it was neither.
Love this song and his art cool to see someone reacting to it
If you watched The Boys or Supernatural, Jensen Ackles is another actor with a lovely voice. Nothing like Hugh’s voice, but he’s got a real southern rock, bluesy tone that’s outstanding. His band is called Radio Company.
You might also see some familiar faces if you look up ‘Band From TV’, which Hugh Laurie was a part of.
Good song , good reaction ✌🏽
This concert was a true celebration of New Orleans Jazz and Blues. If you want to sample the original 'St James Infirmary', check out Cab Calloway's version! It was so good, no less an artist than Walt Disney did an animated musical cartoon for the song! Pretty sure Louis Armstrong also had a versoon of the song, and that's definitely worth a listen. Different voices all, but all a part of the history of New Orleans Jazz.
The cartoon you are referring to is called Snow White, featuring Betty Boop, who is a Max Fleischer creation, not Walt Disney. That cartoon was animated by Ronald C. Crandall, directed by Dave Fleischer. The cartoon was released by Paramount in 1933.
I happily stand corrected! It was excellent. @@DragonMama-yt3zs
@@duanerowland2453 It was a great cartoon. Have a wonderful day!!
OK! HOUSE sorry HUGH my goodness, the band or should I say symphony resonates some jazz, BLUES OH! my...🔥🤓
i wad just watching House re-runs the other day... I had absolutely No Clue he was a musician and singer too.. sheesh....
Oh, sir, you need to review Cab Callaway doing St James Infirmary!
I'm more into blues than I am jazz, but I love this song even when a jazz band is doing it. When I found out Hugh did a cover I had to find it and was not disappointed. He's a wonderful artist. So glad you got this suggestion!!
I absolutely Loved the look on your face when he started singing! He has said this is his first ❤️
Great reaction!
A Robert Johnson classic
The cd this is from is fabulous from first note to last. Laurie is gifted -- a great musician and actor and an absolute comic genius. I was waiting to see your face when he started to sing and sir, you did not disappoint.
"I need to listen to this on some very loud speakers. I'm going to disturb my neighbors. " My man! I knew that I liked you for more than your reactions!
“House” did have a keyboard in his office… 🙃
yes this is House. Hugh Laurie is an excellent piano player and did a whole jazz album that he recorded in New Orleans. Super talented guy. Love him!!! When he decided to do his Jazz album he specifically wanted to record it in New Orleans, with local musicians and producers because he wanted the feel of the city in the songs. LOL oh yeah he sangs to!!!
WOW that was amazing…
One of the best, if not the best, interpretation I have ever heard of this piece of music
I did not know House was a musician. Wow!
This whole documentary is seriously gifted. I've been trying to get people to react to this for a while now. And yes, that is "House" Hugh Laurie's ass. I love the build ups to the breakdowns. There are so many great versions of this song, it's certainly folk music. "Let 'Em Talk" is great as well.
I always forgot that he used an American accent for house.
House MD wildin out here!
Hugh Laurie is originally a talented comedian, who was a member of the incredible Footlights while at Cambridge uni, with Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson. He and Fry had a skit series called "A but of Fry and Laurie", which I think you'll enjoy (based on your Monty Python reactions).
Also, if you revisit House episodes where he is home, he is often sitting at the piano playing beautifully.
He put out an entire Jazz album with New Orleans Jazz legends playing the instruments with him...
Боже, как это прекрасно
Great find. There is an entire album, Let them Talk, great throughout. Would love to listen to more of it with you. They made a documentary out of the creation process. Hugh has been a huge blues fan all his life, and he then took it to New Orleans where a lot of these musicians are from. Great homage to the genre. Love it.
I like his music and his art more than I like his acting
Been on his concert, three hours of greatness. In the beginning, we were all sitting, by the second hour everyone was dancing. He has two albums published, Let them talk and Didn't it rain, and they're just brilliant. My personal favourites are Kiss of fire (duet w Gaby Moreno) and The whale has swallowed me, and also his rendition of Battle of Jericho is great.
You should see him play guitar, drums and saxophone. Not all at once of course, too flashy. He also juggles
💯👍👍👍
no thats not house. thats Stuart littles dad lol
You want to hear something just as great check out the gits version of graveyard blues. This is a must the singer mia zapata a young punk singer taken eay to early nurdered in seattle in 93 will blow you mind.
WOW! Who knew?
"You Don't Know My Mind" from the same album as this is one of my favorite songs of his.
A man who is talented, accomplished in multiple fields as in Leonardo da Vinci, a Renaissance Man. Hugh Laurie is one.
"House" played piano and guitar multiple times on the show. It was genuinely Hugh Laurie.
Laurie's song, "America" is a classic. Definitely worth checking out.
Ya gotta watch the cab calloway cartoon
His piano skills are insane, let’s not pretend jazz piano isn’t hard as sht to play
He had a Jazz band when he was on House with a couple other of the actors on the show from around the TV sphere called Band From TV.
Oh, also check out Kiss Of Fire by him as well. It's a mashup of the original Argentinian Spanish song "El Choclo" (The Corncob, the name of a club) and Louis Armstrong's "Kiss Of Fire" based on the same song.
The bassist looks like a Stallone brother.
Bet ya never thought you'd be groovin like that to House playin the blues 😂 🔥
His "Stagger Lee" is amazing as well....
To the people who only know him as Dr House …
Yeah, that Dobro at 4:34 gets everyone. Sets the whole mood of the song.
He sang "Minnie the Moocher", too.
But as silly Berty Wooster in "Jeeves and Wooster"😅
