I am Tom Waits Fan many years. For me the best singer and songwriter in the World. This song is so emotional. I often asked really good cover bands or singers to sing a song of him. They say. Its not possible. Sharon Little can do. No matter whats the better version. Tom or Sharon. Both of them are exzellent in their own way. Great Job.
I must’ve listened to this version. 50 times if I didn’t listen once and each time it leaves me a tear stained pile of ashes on the floor. Man of MAN!!!!!! Does she nail this!
Dear Sharon, your voice is angle-like. I had found this video today, and now I will hear much more songs from you. Nice greetings from Austria from Sylvia ♥
I came across this version last night, since then ,I must have played it at least 60 times. thank you, Guy's & of course Sharon. Almost' usurped Tom.!!!!!
I've been listening to Tom Waits since 1981 and been a loyal fan ever since. Most Waits covers I just skip over because they just miss it somehow but Sharon Little and this band have nailed this one! Thanks so much!
No one ever covers a Tom Waits song and and makes you feel the raw human emotion like he can. They are all veiled attempts to convey his brilliance. This goes for the Eagles all the way to Chris Cornell. All brilliant in their own way but way out of their league in driving the lyric to the soul. Only Waits can do that. You however come as close as anyone I have heard. Your soulful approach made me feel the lyric where others fail. Brilliant vocal and musical arrangement and application. Bravo...
One of the finest songs written by Tom Waits, in my opinion. It is hard to say with so many fine songs by him. Rainbow Sleeves, The Heart of Saturday Night, Old ’55 come to mind. Sharon, you picked an awesome tune to try your turn with and you did a spine-tingling take on it. I'm subscribing and hoping to hear more soon!
An EPIC beautiful voice, gift of instant attraction, joyous presentation. The headachy perplexity is this lovely, bankable lady's absence on the world stage. The less talented show up by virtue of sharp elbows and limitless promotion of chaff. I came on this by looking for Tom Waits covers to use for persuading tin foil ears, and got caught and blown away by these two. My God. She absolutely DOMINATES her songs. ANY song she sings becomes hers. I'm jealous of you who have known of her before my blessed discovery. I don't even like female singers except for Carole King and maybe Carley Simon. Adele? Whitney? Ptew.
The genius of Waits is the authenticity of his songs delivered through the fictional character he has made himself up to be. Miss Little you also have authenticity. Trust it and don't lose sight of it.
That was beautiful! I have watched The Voice since it’s inception; none of those country singer has anything on you! It would be swell to see those four chairs turn for you on “The Voice”! Blake Shelton, is a great coach! Bless yah!
What a phenomenal version of this beautiful song. I was feeling very emotional listening to it towards the end..... Fantastic voice, and very passionate singing....Well done.
Your voice is like hot fudge melting down the side of a sundae. Deliciously rich, silky. Love the way you hold onto a note until you absolutely have to let go to continue the song....Could listen to this all day. Thank you.
@@sharonlittlemusic1821 - welcome. So happy to have found your music last night. Hope that I don't fall in love with you is one of the best covers to a song I have ever heard. Keep bring'n it!
God almighty I’ve hear this version hundreds of times and it moves me to tears every goddam time. I have a very short list of songs that can stop me from whatever I’m doing and turn me into mush, your version of this is on that short list
Tom Waits is an amazing songwriter! He’s my favorite. Some people can’t hear the melodies in some of his songs because they can’t see past his gritty voice (which I’m in love with). A lot of people who cover him, try to sound like him (which is impossible) I do the opposite. I just hear it, and sing it the way I do. Some fans of his love that I do that... some don’t... either way, I don’t care🤣🤣! I’m just doing what I do, and loving every moment! Haters gonna hate, LOVERS GONNA LOVE!!! 🤗😘 were bigger than them.
not everyone can cover a Tom Waits song to be just as good as the original. But this cover is outstanding. Still very Tom Waits but it has its own beauty too
@@rolandhicks1874 this may sound cliché but it's all thanks to Shrek 2. I know Tom Waits will be my favorite right at the very first piano keys of Little drop of poison
Quite remarkable. It’s been mentioned before but here it is again. Please do an album of Tom Waits covers. You and the band make the song your own, it’s as good as Waits’s original simply different. In my book that’s really saying something. Looking forward to to the album 🤞🏻. And thank you.
I got to this video because the drummer is selling this drum kit. Wow glad I clicked. Sharon Little sounds awesome! Everyone on the recording playing with great feeling and soulfulness. Great production too. Continued success and all good things!!!
You've got to put out an album of your Tom Waits covers! They are such amazing works, and I hate to say that so few can interpret and do them justice. Hearing these through a woman's voice puts a whole new spin on the brilliance of these songs. I am mostly intrigued by your female spin, because when guys do these covers I always wonder... "why...??" It just seems wrong that Tom himself isn't doing it, and rarely do these guys offer anything worthwhile - since it's Tom who embodies the character of these songs. And it's a character that can't be touched. With that in mind, I was encouraged when I saw the "Female Tribute to Tom Waits" albums thinking it would be more great stuff like yours. But... ** oh my!! ** Aside from an artist or two... what a huge miss that was (putting it mildly)!! Hearing these other "efforts" really highlights the fact that you've got something special going - and your musicians are awesome too. You guys NAIL IT !!
Seldom have I seen someone so engaged with a song. This is exquisite. Tom Waits must be proud. Your band and the video production are excellent too. Surely someone like yourself must be able to get recognition in this, sadly, increasingly mediocre musical world. My fingers are crossed for all of you...
Thanks… I’ve actually taken a break with music. I’ve dedicated my entire life to it and it has done nothing but strip me down and left me broke and alone. I’m over the industry and I’m done… ”going for it” if you’re inspired by anything I’ve put out there, that warms my heart that I could truly touch someone… I’m just not going to be recording anything more. I’m done. I’m moving to a small town in America and disappearing. If you want to support, you can share. I’m sorry if I seem dramatic… I’m just heartbroken by music and what it brings along with it. I kills me.
@@sharonlittlemusic1821 Sharon that's a lovely heartfelt reply. Its truly sad on so many levels that things haven't turned out well.....that's life I guess. I sincerely hope that you find a new passion and fulfilment wherever and whatever that may be. Thanks for your marvellous singing and best wishes for your future.
Very good. Dedicated, uncompromised expression. Makes it all look good as well as sound good. Few inhibitions and few affectations. Better than a million soulless stars. Scrupulous and intelligent. Bon chance.
It might just be me but when i heard this cover my mind went to Kill Bill. It seems like it could fit in seamlessly to the movie. And even then by itself without associating it with anything it’s such an awesome cover. It really invokes emotion as you listen to it. A very well done. 👏🏻💐
I am definitely glad I found you. I was not familiar with this song and was not sure I would like it but each time I listened (4 so far) you drove it deeper into my soul. Hopefully, you are enjoying some real professional rewards to go along with the obvious pleasure you get from your music.
I just stumbled on to your videos and I was like wow, you have a beautiful voice and I can feel the words as you sing. Great job, and keep up the good work. You have a new fan.
Wow. You have a beautiful voice. RUclips autoplayed this after I watched Tom Wait's live version, and as always it brought tears to my eyes. As I started listening to your cover I wondered if I'd tear up again. Yup, you got to me. I'm going to listen to a couple happy songs to recover, and then search for more of your music.
Awesome version! Nice mix, vocal delivery wonderful, and instrumentation is spot on. Sounds like Sharon has perfect pitch......I like the sound of her earrings clinking at 2:11.....right on time. I heard that a few times...but cool!
I wonder why you've got only 20K of views. :( I found your song 'follow that sound' on the SOA soundtrack when the season was launched and i absolutely fell in love with your voice! Holy sh**! Found this song today and it happened again.. I'm looking forward to hear more of it! :) Stay safe and tuned!
@@sharonlittlemusic1821 I will. :) when i'm finished with watching your latest uploads. :D you are killing in 'when a man loves a woman'! Pls tell the dude on the instruments, that he is awesome, too! He's rocking the drumfills and the organ pretty awesome :)))
Hi Sharon. Don’t know if you’ll see this, but if you do, is there a way to buy your Tom Waits covers - or at least some of them? Thanks. I hope you’re doing well.

Thank you sooo much! Please share 🙏🏻✨
Tom Waits brought me here. Sharon's and Tim's heart and soul keep pulling me back.
Young couples with families should listen to your version of that song, no need to elaborate, it would of saved my marriage.
I sang it at my sisters wedding 💯
I haven't yet made it through your song without getting all choked-up, and at 75 yoa I should have more self control! Thank You, & TW.
Amazing. Just discovered Sharon Little. WOW...I got lucky today..ty Sharon..
Wow. Excellent job. Last verse of this song always makes my eyes fill up, Tom is a genius, one of the most precious creators left on this planet.
Doesn't it just
Agree,have u seen 'take a last look where your leaving' for Letterman?
I came across this version last night, since then ,I must have played it at least 60 times. thank you, Guy's & of course Sharon. Almost' usurped Tom.!!!!!
Wow! Thank you!

Scott Harvey thank you soooo much!✨
The keyboards or piano could have been a little louder
The wind chime effect of the earrings are a nice touch. Like they're hanging from an old porch. Subtle.
Wow....I'm a huge Tom Waits fan and usually find covers of his songs disappointing but this was fantastic, you really made it your own....beautiful!
No one ever covers a Tom Waits song and and makes you feel the raw human emotion like he can. They are all veiled attempts to convey his brilliance.

Somehow I’m just reading this now. Thank you sooo much! I’m such a Tom Waits fan. This is such a wonderful compliment! Thank you!! 🥰

I never thought I'd come across someone who could cover a Tom Waits song better than Tom. But now... this
Moonlight Lady thank you soo much! That really means a lot!
I don't know how many times I've watched this video. Dozens, for sure. Every single time it brings tears to my eyes.
Sharon, when are you and Tim coming back to San diego?

Absolutely outstanding! i LOVE this! VERY moving, sincere, delicious!
Unbelievable! So tough to cover Waits without watering him down... she pulls it off... BIG TIME!
Thank you so much!

That song made me😢 beautiful.
I saw Tom Waits in Australia many years ago and became an instant fan.Love the feeling Sharon gives his music and shout out to the man on guitar.
Oh my God, I love it
Please share 🤞🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you
Wow. Just wow. This is amazingly beautiful... so much talent in this girl and what a great group of musicians.

Stunning performance. What a magnificent song.

Stunning persona truly
She knows how to have fun and understands the depth of the music her parents should be proud very clever x
Whoaaah Sharon! Ripping it like a knife straight to the heart. Waits will love your beautiful interpretation I'm sure. Thank you!
Thank you soooo much! Please share!✨🙏🏻
Another passionate vocal expression that just deepens my appreciation of your music.
Wow!!! Goosebumps. Tom is my all time favorite, but this cover is the absolute best! I'm a new fan of this artist I had never heard of.
