Brilliant and beautiful , thank you Hal....RIP
Beautiful man beautiful voice beautiful song
Rip! U where a good singer!
Just like Con Hunley and Razzy Bailey before him, Hal Ketchum put out some incredible music but just never got the respect that was due. This song is worlds better than the shit that passes for country music today.
Thanks Hal, superb, god rest sir!
Hal is the man. Been the man. Always will be the man. Keep doin it son
I grew up on Todd's version. 99% of covers are anemic. This one by Hal Ketchum is all his. He comes very close to owning it. No syrup, no auto tune, no overwhelming arranging. Masterful!
.. Yes, Ma'am .. MrK was a Monster .. What a Talent
@@SouthCarolinaPicker And gone all too soon. He was never on my radar while alive as I'm a city girl and when Hal hit I was already deep into jazz and big band. I only discovered him as a result of a local radio show as bumper music. Sid Rosenberg two mornings ago played Todd's version which led me to YT and this. BTW, there's a YT of Todd and Daryl Hall on Daryl's show which is just dynamite.
I now have to find more of Hal's music.
.. Happy hunting :))
Hal's voice is/was PERFECT for a cover of this Todd Rundgren classic!!!!!!
Amazing song, what a voice!
.. MrKetchum was a MonsterTalent .. and a nice guy, too .. He is greatly missed
My heart! RIP you brave, magnificent artist.
This is real Country right here, not that Luke Bryan hip-hop, pop stuff.
He sings the hell out of this song. Outstanding!
I'm a huge Todd fan... I found this video by searching Wikipedia about this song. I searched all the covers, and this one is the best. By a country mile. Great song and a really fantastic coverl. I think I'll search for more of Mr. Ketchum's songs.
I have to say that after hearing Hal's version of this a few times I like it better than Todd Rundgren's.Most of the time I always like the original better.
I have always loved this song
Damn! I'm a classic rocker and discovered Hal after his death. WHAT A TALENT! love his voice on this cover.
He is the man
RIP HAL!!!I love your music it helped me so much!!🌈🙏😪
Mr.Ketchum is the best singer of this song. Wow what a voice and cute also lol keep going and God Bless you
+LaurieLu Macy No, Mr. Ketchum isn't the best singer of this song... The writer, Mr. Todd Rundgren is... you can't improve on the original - and it doesn't need it. Just sayin...
Todd Rungren (btw, I'm definitely a fan of his) has some pitch problems on the original, also (because of the vocal range) has to push his voice a little too much, and it sounds a little strained -- for some reason, Todd Rundgren always seemed to like to pitch songs right at the very top of his vocal range, and it sometimes comes off a little vocally "stressed" -- also, fwiw, there are MANY examples of a good singer "improving on the original" -- Bob Dylan is a GREAT songwriter (amazing lyricist), but there are NUMEROUS examples of other singers doing a better job on his songs than he did, as he's NOT a great singer -- one obvious example would be "To Make You Feel My Love" -- an OUTSTANDING song, but the Billy Joel version "sings rings around the Bob Dylan version." Hope everyone's having a great October!
Thank you for the music Hal
Todd still performs this live on occasion, most recently on his tour with Ringo and the All-Starr Band. It's sounds better now than when he first recorded it in 1972.
Absolutely one of my all time favourites, and this is better than the original. Hal's voice is so melodic!
I've been a long time fan of Hal - got a pic of us together when He came to Glasgow's Ole Opry - converted my bass player to Hal & his band - and sadly.....just like Hal's bass man,,,,my bass man also passed away - but - Hal & his band enriched our lives !!
Still think Hal's voice is better and tone he has is much better. We love you hal
i remember playin this back in my radio days. he does a great cover of Five o'clock world too
I never get tired of this song.
I'm the biggest dork ever,I have it on cassette single Hal Ketchum rulz
I Found IT, The most beautiful song i could ever imagine,. and the most incredible voice too. I love Hal Ketchum. Someone broke my heart when they stole this cd of mine with many more, and I can't afford to buy anymore being on a fixed income.
One of my favorite songs and Hal 's rendition is great. Great voice. RIP
This is the best version of the song, in my opinion. I just love it!! Thanks for posting!
love this version too but Todd version still my fav
Neat tribute to Todd! Hadn't heard this, and Todd mentioned it in an interview so I had to check it out. Hal's got a great voice… but remember that Todd wrote this, played all the instruments and sang all the vocals on the original version. That's kinda talented, don'cha think?
Better than the original! What a voice he had.
One of my favorites by Hal. Hadn't heard it in years and have been listening more since he passed. Such an amazing talent. He will be missed
Great version of a great song by a great singer.
☺☺☺☺
Great singing and music. ...its best version in my eyes. ..
Love Todd’s version the best but man this is a close second great job by Hal!!
Why am I just hearing this now?!
Beautiful voice
.. Aye, MrKetchum is on a level all to himself
what a cool dude I met him back in the early 80s we worked on the same job site together he was a carpenter I was a bricklayer super cool guy
He did indeed! And the way he sings it also, man! He has a beautiful singing voice!
Yes I had a fling when I saw the light in hers eyes and her beautiful face.
Thanks CH, I will never forget Montgomery....!
It was late last night
I was feeling something wasn't right
There was not another soul in sight
Only you, only you
So we walked along,
though I knew there was something wrong
And the feeling hot me oh so strong about you
Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see
'Cause I saw the light in your eyes
Though we had our fling
I just never would suspect a thing
'Til that little bell began to ring in my head
In my head
But I tried to run,
though I knew it wouldn't help me none
'Cause I couldn't ever love no one, or so I said
But my feelings for you
were just something I never knew
'Til I saw the light in your eyes
But I love you best
It's not something that I say in jest
'Cause you're different, girl, from all the rest
In my eyes
And I ran out before but I won't do it anymore
Can't you see the light in my eyes
RIP 112320
Excellent.
Yep remember the video. Wish it was on you tube
been looking for the CMT Video. I called his manager and he called me back last month believe it or not and said they don't have the rights to it!! I'd love a copy of it cause it just was beautiful!! Bobby
It is on youtube!
Silk voiced Ketchum....wish he'd come play at the Uptown in Napa...he'd burn the place down...
None better.
I have sign this song in ASL its a difficult song to sign :)
W0W!!
I agree with you totally. I feel the same way about Waylon's versions of Chevy van & his live version of House of the Rising Sun.
This is a Todd Rundgren song from 1972
Hal Ketchum died at 67 on November 23, 2020, of Alzheimer's. RIP. Source: wikipedia.
