Omg, Tongi......I am 66 and this has always been one of my favorite songs, ever. You're rendition brings tears to my eyes. You were given such a precious gift and we are blessed to have you share your gift, with the world. Many blessings to you and your lovely family. Love from Nova Scotia, Canada. ❤😃☃️🎶🎤🎸💿📀
This song reminds me of road trips in our van as a kid…my mama & stepdad singing along wildly off-tune. What I wouldn’t do now to hear my mama’s monotone singing voice. Thanks for this one Iam…you brought new life to this oldie jam & stirred up some priceless old memories! 🤗
As a localboy from way back when from the 80's - 90's and living in Seattle since 96, I'm beyond stoked that you've made it bruddah. Reminds me of way back when we had our high school reggae band and practiced out of my buddies hula studio. You've got that voice that just takes me back to the greats. Request for a Peter Moon Band classic cuz?
@@officialiamtongiWhoa, I was just thinking about that exact band as you were singing this Dr Hook classic. I’d love to hear your take of, Flying by the Peter Moon Band.
Your guitar is beautiful! I always look forward to your videos & music, & you didn't disappoint. Love this song & your vocals! Keep spreading the gift & love Iam! Aloha🤙💙💙🎸🎵🎶
Awesome rendition as always! I got to see you in concert last month, and I loved your authenticity and how much fun you were having on stage. All the best to you in your career and I hope to get to see you again soon. Yessah! 🤙🏽
One day when I get married Iam Tongi will be singing at my wedding 🎉 I know I couldn't find anybody better. Singing live is the best, people have to have state of the art sound equipment, not Iam Tongi 😊
So love your music! So deeply inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful gift and this beautiful song!! Abundance of respect blessings nd prayers! ❤
Every time I hear you sing I feel the spirit of Gabby and Eddie and all the greats who did their bit to keep the spirit of Aloha alive. We are so lucky to have you.
Is this actually Iam's channel? I'm sure his channel had a different name, but for some reason, I stopped getting notifications, and now I'm searching for the real Iam Tongi's channel, not just someone covering his music. Anybody please?
@@cherylalt101 His real one. One of the video reactors said that someone kept changing around parts of Iam's RUclips name to copy him, so Iam changed it to this and hasn't been bother by them since
@@officialiamtongi 🤦♀️ doh! Missed out….but I’m so glad you enjoyed your visit here. The demands on you now must be a roller coaster ride you can’t get off, becoming famous is a two edge sword of good & bad. Please ensure you say no sometimes and ensure regular breaks locked into your schedules to relax and enjoy doing what you love most and with those you love most…and remain the wonderful humble person that you are. Don’t ever change …and always listen to your mum whom you can 100% trust to have your back. Bet her mum antenna will pick up on the wolves and hanger on’s you’re bound to come across 😁 Wishing you all the best in your life Iam 🙌🏽 Congratulations on your well deserved success ✨
Hi !! I haven’t written to u in awhile. But I told u when u first started you would win and you did! I am so proud of you! I still am. Your biggest fan ! Always~ Taylor from Northern, Minnesota

I grew up poor in rural Alabama but I have some of the best child hood memories and one of them is of my mother cleaning and listening to this song. She would have the volume all the way up 🫶🏻 This was beautiful 🫶🏻
Terrific choice! Your covers are spectacular! Remember them playing that one a lot. Really kinda glad you didn't choose 'You Make My Pants Want to Get Up and Dance'. Might not have been a wise career move... Keep living, looking and projecting that beautiful light that's in you. Don't forget where you come from, ever. That is your strength and your honor. God bless you and your family. Be careful, stay safe, and HAVE FUN on this wonderful journey!
I’ve been listening to & loving this song since my dad introduced it to me as a super young kid in the 80’s. It really does my heart good to hear someone younger not only know the song but to play it so well & respectful to the original. Good on you sir! Well done!
That guitar is sick bra. I'm coming back to Hawaii sometime in my life, maybe I will be blessed to see you perform. Keep it up brother, you are so talented.
Incredible voice as always man. This dude is a generational talent. I watched the whole way through Amercian Idol and i dont even watch that goofy show. Iam is special, talented and blessed. I hope you get filthy rich and buy back Hawaii big dawg. Go Raiders!
Iam!!!! I need all the Dr Hook songs to be covered my guy!! I am so so so happy you did this!!!!! Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
TONGI THIS IS MY FIRST TIME HEARING " SYLVIA'S MOTHER", WOW I LOVE THE WAY YOU SING IT WITH YOUR PURE BORN SOUL!!!! GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND ALSO I'M PROUD OF YOUR FATHER,HE TAUGHT YOU WELL.. MAY HE CONTINUE TO REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE.
I'm happy you put up a new song. I look every day. I could listen to you sing all day. This is a song I've known for many years, I love it!! And, as always, you did a fantastic job!! ❤❤❤❤
Iam! Just listened in a room with similar acoustics as the one you were singing in...and darn if it didn't sound just like I was there or y'all were here. Took me back to when my family (aunts, uncles and older cousins) used to play and sing all the time when I was growing up. When you're raised in music, it is a part of your heart forever. Thank you for sharing your musical heart with us. 💜
I can't tell you how much I've replayed this since I've heard it. Hands down thee best rendition of the song - SO SO GOOD! Please do a full cover❤Much love from Micronesia!
Yesss. Just how dad would've had it. Lounge sessions were the greatest ones Tongi keep it going bro. Generational wealth should be your biggest goals and you have the voice to achieve it. Love hearing you sing bro
I've been listening to this all day, it's absolutely superb. What a gift you have! When/if you do the full song, I hope you'll do it unplugged and on video just like this. 🙏
I Love your rendition of this song! So much more emotion than original bcs you are so involved in the music & feel exactly how it should sound! Hope you will release full version at some point! Simply Beautifully Sung! 💕
Gave me goosebumps bro...I'm in my 50s and still have that album! ❤
You can sing anything beautifully ❤
