This song is oddly beautiful, he really put a lot of soul into this and you can absolutely tell. Even though he died over 20 years again he won't ever be forgotten anytime soon... Art is immortal, and anyone can find success at any point in their life if they take their time.
Art is immortal and the most beautiful thing about it is when future generations find out about it. We might not be able to thank the original creators for a piece but I think from then to now they can appreciate another person respects what they made. The human condition is teaching and passing on, even if they didn't think it then, they passed on to now and that's how we honor them.
From a 63 year old fart in South Africa, this album is brilliant, from funky jazz to this at his age, amazing, has given me years of feel good pleasure listening to it, especially in my car at full volume -RIP John - You live on in your music
How time passes by... I loved you, 2010s, and now, hopefully I'll love the 2020s, too. I'll also always love you and your wonderful tunes, Scatman John. Rest in Peace...
C'était mon morceau préféré à l'époque, j'avais 7 ans quand c'est sorti!! J'en ai 33 aujourd'hui et Scatman est toujours sur ma Playlist, et ne l'a jamais quitté!!
This man has a story that just shows that we have a limitless power hidden inside of us that can be accessed if we make the effort...G-d bless you John "scatman"
I remember Scatman's music mostly from good old SM64 videos, but properly listening to them now they are just wonderful. This is probably my favorite of all his song's so far. All of his musics have this magical feel, it takes me back to simpler times. Not sure if that makes sense but that's what i think XD Its sad to know he died young... May he rest in peace.
@@oceanplayzmakesvids9149 That's me that made that comment but that was 8 months ago my name has changed as you can see, the smg4 video that had this exact song take your time the smg4 video was called smg4 poisoned computer
Whenever I feel down and I need something to cheer me up, this album is the first thing I think of. It just puts me into a mood of just pure happiness. It's definitely gotten me over some hard times, and I don't know what I would do without it. If John Larkin were still alive, meeting him would be on the very top of my bucket list, since he was such a big part of my life. Sadly, Cancer got to him first, and we lost someone with extreme talent. He will forever be remembered for his legacy and his impact on those who had stutters.
This was his first studio album. His last album recorded had the name "Take Your Time", no brackets or secondary titles, and is a wholly different album and the title track is a very different song. After his death, there were at least two more releases. One was a jazz compilation, the other was a best-of with a few unreleased tracks.
Financially he may have been broke, but he was richer in heart than most that continue to walk this planet long after he has gone...we can all learn a lesson here...
RIP Scatman John (13 March , 1942) John Paul Larkin, better known as Scatman John, was a jazz musician who created a unique fusion of scat singing and techno, best known for his 1994 hit "Scatman." As he used to say, this was a process of "making my biggest problem my biggest livelihood." Wikipedia Death: December 3, 1999, Los Angeles, California, USA

This music is timeless. I was born 10 months after scatman´s death and i prefer 10 times to listen to this song rather than all the other rap shit that is popular nowadays. I hope this decade changes music for good.
Forgotten Scatman classics such as this should be remembered.
Yes!! When I mention the name Scatman John no one seems to remember him. He is a legend!!
this is not even close to be forgotten bro. Im born 1992 i have kids and they listen to it ;)
Agreed
This song is oddly beautiful, he really put a lot of soul into this and you can absolutely tell. Even though he died over 20 years again he won't ever be forgotten anytime soon... Art is immortal, and anyone can find success at any point in their life if they take their time.

スキャットマンの歌は有名な歌しか知りませんでしたが、こんな素敵な歌があるとは知りませんでした。日本人の私でも伝わる簡単な英語で想いが伝わってきました。美しいです。
He took 3 minutes and 46 seconds of my time.
*Worth it*
Damn right.
Як для мене це одна з найкращих його пісень, слухаючи цю пісню повертаюся в далекі 2000 ні роки …😢

Its sad to know he died young... May he rest in peace.

Criminally underrated track from an amazing album.
Absolutely beautiful. Anything this man made was completely magical. I am in love with this style... And I hope his great legacy never dies out.
Legend and best music. Greeting from Russia
This album was like an explosion. Everybody listened to him. It was the incredible success.
RIP I wish you had a longer life
John predicted the future!
Thats all I have to say..
Lets enjoy his words, cos noone else will..
Это были мои 90-е , спасибо тебе Джон за эту прекрасную музыку. Ты лучший! Покойся с миром. RIP
Шикарная песня🎶!!!! Ностальгия прëт))))
My favorite song from Scatman John. Incredible

@hunter0one and hes dead Scatman John is dead :(
It might be a meme when people say this, but legit, when he said "but I'm broke."
*that hits on so many levels*
Financially he may have been broke, but he was richer in heart than most that continue to walk this planet long after he has gone...we can all learn a lesson here...
@@darrentylor5473he wasn't broke though
@@novustalks7525 well at least he had that going for him...
It pains me to learn that his last song wasn't even about him, but a lesson for us.
This isn't his last song, this is the song you're probably talking about. ruclips.net/video/G372QaPSfU0/видео.html
Love that awesome 90's house & techno music and of course, good ole Scatman's vocals, song, and sense of rhythm! R.I.P., bro. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
For me, He always remains a memory from my childhood!!!
Man had the keys to the universe and gave them to us through music, what a guy
今から26年前、ウォークマンでスキャットマンを聴きながら通学したときを思い出す！
懐かし〜なぁ！あの頃は、とても楽しい時間だった。
The best John's track! Listened to it on cassette 24 years ago! RIP John!
I havent heard this in 20 years and someone said something and BING.. Right in my head..
His music is amazing and I still listen to it today. What a legend. Hope you are resting in peace in scatland John.
It may not be a popular song of his, but its still great, it has an emotion of non regret and acceptance

When I'm sad I listen to Scatman
Same, it really cheers me up too. :D
He almost sounds like Phil Collins here, so sad that he had to leave us, he’s scatting up in heaven now, god rest his soul 😢
I just miss Scatman, he was such a legend
Never think its too late to do what you love
" Take your time, we can do it "
WORDS!!!!
When Jesus returns we all can see him in heaven
30 years been listening to this song every now and then. best song ever if you appreciate this skill
This was basically the song that was in his heart. He
この曲は最高ですし、好きですし、レーシングゲームの曲にも良いですよな。
Nostalgia total
Rest in peace scatman
この曲が1番好き。
So glad I found this, what a brilliant song!
Would of been nice to meet the man. Respects to 🕴🎙🎤🎹
Жив жив и ещё раз жив !!! Спасибо тебе !
Обожаю ! Творчество Скетмена!!!
amazing , love him, first tape and love him already 20 years..
so youre gay?
Mr Scatman, you'll be forever with us!
I love this song
"Tome seu tempo, nós podemos fazer isso"
LOL HE SAYS "i woke up at a ding ding" XD
I recommended to delete your comment
Such a great song
Great man great song
помню кассета 1995 года супер
Very well-produced techno/lyrical jazz track from the 90s. Hidden gem.
To think he was already at the final stage of lung cancer when he recorded this.
Mexxron Fidds he's a legend tho
Mexxron Fidds Scatman is scatting in scatland.. R.I.P Scatman John...
This entire album is one big "thank you and goodbye"
freddie mercury has aids and makes that legendary last album: Are Scatman John and Freddie Mercury musical heroes, then?
Sad
Rest in peace.
This is one of my favorite songs from Scatman.
this song is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is my favorite
Rip scat man….. take your time :(
scatman's voice look like he is rapping
This Song is on Scatman John 's First Album Scatman's World Released in 1995! Really Great Song 👍
This music is timeless. I was born 10 months after scatman´s death and i prefer 10 times to listen to this song rather than all the other rap shit that is popular nowadays. I hope this decade changes music for good.
Same man, i was born roughly 11 after his death, and i wish i was alive to see this legend for myself, we need more people like him
I was born 3 years before his death and I think he's a freaking legend.
yeah man i love both genres. Listen to caparezza, he is an italian rapper. You wont regret it.
Fui descobrir essas maravilhas de músicas só agora em 2024👏👏
i know we lost john.. but his family who keep this alive... THANK YOU
I found his music completely by chance and I'd have to say, damn good music to vibe to
When said "douga douga ding, da douga douga ding ding" I felt that.
;')
Same
i listen to this when we go outside of my high schools gym
500円で買って10万円分ぐらいは聴いた。まずこの曲リピート率高め
Currently self improving and this song helps
Amazing
Una enorme pérdida la de John Scatman 20 años ya.
Yeah you are right.
People, this is NOT "Take Your Time" (1999)... Nice (older) Dance track, kinda relaxing. RIP, Scatman John.
In the second verse when scatman is talking about tommy, he is talking to us, chering us to get better 😪
