Scatman proved to everyone that age has nothing to do with anything and the fact that he was a stutterer and while being in his 50s and having a stuttering problem, he was one of the most talented inspiring artists during the 20th century.
@@tsohgallik this is not true and potentially quite a harmful misconception. Anti-anxiety medication doesn't have an impact on most stutterers, so think intuitively - how could that be true? Stutters are often made worse by anxiety, but are not caused by anxiety. They are prevalent no matter when someone speaks - it is a neurological condition.
I'm now 56 years old I've been fighting this all my life I still get upset trying to even talk on telephone SCATMAN. JOHN is such a inspriation to us all we still love ❤JOHN SCATMAN RIP 🕯️🙏🤠⭐
i was high af last night and came across his hit song "scatman" (which i used to hear in gym class frequently as a youngin) and i researched his life. im usually entirely stoic, without being too affected by emotions generally. well his life story, especially the final years, nearly moved me to tears. *Rest in Peace, Scatman John
I couldn't understand the meaning of lyric when I was child but currently I realized he was amazing and challenging musician. I respect him from the bottom of my heart.
Everybody stutters one way or the other, so check out my message to you. As a matter of fact, I know nothing holds you back. If the Scatman can do it, so can you. Rest in peace, John. You were an inspiration to us all ❤
After a lifetime of hearing his music, I finally took the time and actually listened to the lyrics and I only then did I realize what Imma Scat Man is truly about. John was one of those humans that gave a lot to this world and should not be forgotten, may peace be with his soul and family...
I have tourettes and I can relate to how cruel the world can be if you're imperfect in some way. Scatman had it far worse than I did, but he turned everything around and then some. A real inspiration.
He was a legend. Somehow his music makes me feel very close to him as if I knew him . I've never felt that with the dozens of other musicians I listen to
iamfondoftmnt nice work correcting someone who is obviously not from UK/USA who has better stuff to do then you who is correcting people on the internet,I bet you would have corrected scatman John when he stuttered talking to you and you making text count as speech. fucking goof.
I'm gonna need a source on that friendo Doing a documentary piece on the guy, I'm serious lol. Did you make this up or could u point me to where you read/heard it?
I know a person at church who stutters and hearing her its seems that these people have it hard, people make fun of you and you can't hold a full conversation without stuttering it must be frustrating. I'm glad even though he stuttered he pursued his passion and became an awesome singer.
i have tourettes and i dont stutter much usually but i hit myself and scream and bark as well as other things. scatman john helped me learn that im not broken, im not a bad person for hitting myself and objects. i’m a human being just like anyone else. thank you john larkin. you’re my hero.
In the 90s, I heard this song but never found out the name of it and it was lost to time until last year when I found it again and played it 100 times and spent a week getting it out of my head haha. RIP!
When I saw for the first time this song on screen in disco, I thought how could someone sing so precisely it seemed like it was tuned in automatically but this guy was really precise, I think nobody can ever imitate him, It was a message to humanity from a man who had been bullied all his life. He made his strongest point of his weakest points. Rest in peace John. I miss 80's and 90's life was just different.
Listing his album Scatman’s World in 2019 and his music really gives me the 90’s feeling. It’s like i’m back in the 90’s again ❤️ RIP John “The Scatman” Larking
Much respect to John. Wish he was still with us today, I would love to have seen him or even speak to him. He seemed in good spirits though from what I read, saying that he was okay with it...that he had tasted beauty. Guess he had no regrets. John wanted to make others happy and forget about their problems...if only for the length of a song. R.I.P John. We love you and will continue to love your music and your story.
Happy birthday, John. You have made your dreams true and deserved to stay on this planet more, but the world did so, you went somewhere else, a better place. Rest in peace.
The man, the myth, the meme. My childhood hero, and one of the first internet memes I loved. I wish I could have met him, but I was only 1 when he died. Oh well.
Wow...hearing how he was picked on for his stutter like that reminded me of high school. I had super sensitive hearing, and this one kid in particular liked running up to me in the halls with this crazy high-pitched shriek in my ear.
John is one of the most underrated singers ever, really. Yes, he did blow up in the 90s and early 2000s, but we don't mention or even consider this man as much as one of the best musicians out there. We always mention all those rock stars of the 80s, the pop stars and rappers of the 90s and 2000s, but not Scatman. His backstory is touching, he is polite and well-behaved and he can make a crowd dance and sing. Imo he is one of the best of his time or even of all time, yet completely averted.
It’s funny when a person stutters when they talk they have a hard time talking and getting the sentence out, but when they sing, their brain changes a completely different and they sing in complete sentences. Idk how that works but it’s truly amazing what the person can do when they do sing

Right, with every word, mate.
Oh, so he did actually stutter? Huh.
Of Course he did. You Can't play act Tourette's Syndrome, it's just not possible!
Nobody said he had Tourette’s. Stuttering isn’t automatically TS. Nowhere in his biography does it say he has that.
@@MrJimmyTide I think he meant it as an example
People only stutter when they start talking about something that makes them nervous or embarrassed

uhhh
that sounds wrong
Amazing man. Never knew that he overcame a stammer...and spoke faster than anyone! Inspirational

Ryan Bergen I'm in the exact same scenario as you. Listened to the song on Spotify and now I'm down this rabbit hole of wholesomeness and sadness.
Dude weed xd
Scatman John maybe passed, but he lives forever within our hearts
RIP SCATMAN JOHN. Such an amazing musician and soul.His music was so beautiful and will always be an inspiration!
Kids are cruel. Everywhere. They seek for imperfections in others to mock them in a group only to be not the one who is mocked.
Yeah
sadly true. but theu Just have to learn and of course, we have to teach them
Yup! To be honest we should ban children really.
They're not cruel, they're stupid. People need to teach them proper manners thats all.
He was so talented and humble. There will never quite be a spirit like him
He incorporated something he couldn’t control into his music. That’s nice
friends? what sort of friends would do such a thing?
R.I.P. Scatman John 🥀 1942 - 1999
That ended with the most menacing scatting I've ever heard.
2021.....STILL LISTENING. This man is a example for life.
I couldn't understand the meaning of lyric when I was child but currently I realized he was amazing and challenging musician.
I respect him from the bottom of my heart.
Esse cara foi uma lenda, nao é fácil emplacar um hit pop tão atemporal, numa idade já ançada, como ele fez
A talent like no other. RIP

He could glitch his voice at will and had full control over it...such a superpower

fucking goof.
Ahmed. Shut up.
iamfondoftmnt fuck you
Why should i my dear gentleman ?
i wonder what he means by he waited two days and he finally got them
He showed them the power of the scat! Lol scatting competition? idk
***** That's when he invented the other meaning of the word 'scat'...
Don't let the casual murder paint a black picture of the guy
John allegedly chased them with a baseball bat and wanted to hurt them but was talked out of doing anything reprehensible.
I'm gonna need a source on that friendo
Doing a documentary piece on the guy, I'm serious lol. Did you make this up or could u point me to where you read/heard it?
Я до сих пор слушаю его песни. Они просто великолепны.
Legend. This man is a legend. Huge star in France, his song was on air 24/7 at some point.

he transformed his speaking inability into a marvelous talent. and that alone makes him Great
