Holy shit, this is really really good. Seriously why doesn’t this guy have more subs, my dude can play a myriad of instruments, he can sing, he can harmonize, and he can edit pretty well. This is a cool video and a cool cover of a song I love ♥︎♥︎♥︎
This song came out the year I got married (still with my love 49 years later) and I recall it playing on the radio during the drive to our honeymoon.... so many memories. Thanks for the flashback to a younger time. I've just discovered your channel and I'm about to binge on every video. You play and sing beautifully. Thanks again.
So happy it brought back so many memories (and congrats on the 49 years...I'm at 36 with my wife). Thanks so much for listening in to the videos; I appreciate it!
What a joy this was to listen to. You're production and musical talent is absolutely incredible. Given the number of covers this song has on RUclips, yours is the best I've heard. I'm beyond impressed and grateful you took the time to craft this amazing cover. Thank you. ❤
I've always considered that I have a very good ability to hear the different instruments playing in a band. Russ allows me to see what I hear in an amazingly accurate way.
I was looking for a cover to Summer Breeze and sometimes that small thumbnail pic in the RUclips search results can determine if I click on a video or not, and from yours I kind of thought, "Well he's performing in a basement, how good could the audio quality be?" I was not expecting such a terrific rendition and such superb audio! Really well done, sir!
This was the best cover that I've found after looking for a cover that sounds similar to the original. I feel like you should definitely have more subscribers. You can play more instruments I could ever hope of learning, plus you can sing. Good Job!
Russ - I've heard dozens of your amazing covers. Even though you talent is outrageous, I'd like to take the time to thank you for your CHOICE of songs. We are clearly contemporaries - I think I'm just a few years older. Seals & Crofts was one of my 1st concerts, in my late teens.
@@russwilloughby501 Lol - just realized you're either remarkably identical looking, scientifically cloned, or all the same person! Forgive me, it was almost 5 am! I have a compilation picture of my son at every six months combined into one shot ( tinyurl.com/yy5qewjn ) and each time I post an update adding the newest one I tell everyone the hardest part is getting all of them to sit still and pose!
Awesome job on this one Russ! Exceptional faithfulness to the the timeless classic. Here are some of my thoughts on those summer songs to consider: In the Summertime, Mungo Jerry, Saturday in the Park, Chicago, Summer in the City, Lovin' Spoonful, Under the Boardwalk, The Drifters, Sitting on the Dock of the Bay, Otis Redding, It's Summer, Gladys Night & the Pips, Rockaway Beach, The Ramones, Hot Fun in the Summertime, Sly and the Family Stone ...
I swear there should be awards on RUclips for Best Cover songs, this man is absolutely talented, love to listen to your cover songs.
Thank you!
Agreed!
I love that this dude played every single instrument and sang vocals in what looks like his basement. Genius performance from humble origins.
Thanks so much! Yep, that's my basement. Getting ready to do a makeover on it.

Thanks very much for the kind words!
Lot of us ask the same thing…
This is the first day I've listened to Russ, and I'm blown away by his talent...voice and musicianship..just awesome!
This is one of my favourite songs not just from the band but from that era, and you did a phenomenal job covering it.
Many thanks; so glad you enjoyed it!
