Chirs has an amazing style .and great words .but Etta sung with all her soul I've been blessed to hear her voice .Chirs nor anyone else can sing like her . She must be singing in Paradiso with the Angel's
Well Tennessee Whiskey isn't Chris song it's an old country song he covered it as many others have so Being that to my knowledge he never took credit for the arrangement there wouldn't be a case.
So it appears that I be not the only cat out here that had the ear to notice. I love Etta's soul. Chris was recently here in Phoenix and I MISSED it. I bet the show was as smooth as Tennessee Whiskey, eh.
Yup I said it from day one when I heard it and said that’s the beat from Etta James I’d rather go blind and the actual lyrics are from George Jones I believe is the original Tennessee whiskey 🥃 John Stapleton and his crew where genius putting these great songs together
George Jones *covered* it… the original recording was David Allen Coe. But neither of them wrote it, so it isn’t “their” lyrics - it was written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove.
@@KeithPonder21 you realize a lot of musicians do this right?? Eminem used the beat from dream on by Aerosmith in one of his songs. The metal band avenged sevenfold also used the beat from a Metallica song called sad but true in one of their songs as well. It’s not stealing.
Used to spend my nights out in a barroom Liquor was the only love I'd known But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom And brought me back from being too far gone You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time I've looked for love in all the same old places Found the bottom of a bottle's always dry But when you poured out your heart, I didn't waste it 'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey
Something told me it was over When I saw you and her talkin' Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl' When I saw you and that girl walkin' around Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy Then to see you walk away from me, child, no Whoo, so you see, I love you so much That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just Sittin here thinkin', of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah Whoo and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...
"Tennessee Whiskey" is a country song written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove. It was originally recorded by American country music artist David Allan Coe for his album of the same name Tennessee Whiskey, whose version peaked at number 77 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1981.
Ah thank you I thought the CS version was a cover perhaps of a cover. But I was watching a video on I ii chord progression that Id rather go blind had the A to B minor progression and said Hey that sounds like that song on my girlfriends Pandora station. I few clicks later....😃
he should paying her estate for sure.. it's her song!! no embellishments. it's just talking about whiskey, which by the way was taught to Jack Daniels by "uncle earnest" (also African American). I mean unless Chris Stapleton acknowledges etta every time he sings this song it is unethical of him, in the least.
It’s not that deep relax chica. Both are amazing artists who didn’t write either of these songs. Tennessee whiskey is a cover from David Allen coe the only thing is Chris put in some of Etta’s guitarist in there. Really should be paying royalties to the guitarist. Again tho it ain’t tht deep
🔴 That's why people like Tenn Whiskey... They already love the SOULFUL JAZZY MUSIC by Etta James. I wonder does the James Family know Etta James Music has been stolen by Chris Stapleton for his best selling song⁉ I heard the same music from the first time I heard Tennessee Whiskey. 🤬🤦🏽♀️
Have you heard David Allen Core’s version? Thank you Chris Stapleton! This only highlights the respect he has for Etta. The James family should be proud!
@@stanshropshire5871 That songs lyrics and music originated with two people and she was one of them. Her rights to royalties of her song were stolen by deception when it was first written. He is profiting from the use of material that was originally stolen by deception. Even though he isn't legally required to, he should have acknowledged her out of respect for a fellow artist. I like his version of that song, but it will always have an asterisk* because of the history. Music by Black artists was routinely stolen.
mfs just don't want to give credit be mad asf when they realize we did it first lol but I won't say it's "stealing" unless they are claiming it's an original. It's like the Beatles song "come together" song been coverd a 100 damn times by Michael, Ike and Tina, Gary Clark Jr
First of all, Tennessee whiskey is from George Jones. If you want to go after someone go after George, it’s his song that Chris got permission to sing. Get your facts straight people.
nope....It was first recorded by American country music artist David Allan Coe for his album of the same name Tennessee Whiskey released in 1981. His version is recorded in more of a traditional country style. Commercially, it peaked at number 77 on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove....so somebody definitely needs to get their facts straight
Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove wrote Tennesee Whiskey and was originally recorded by David Allen Coe, for his album of the same name. Ellington Jordan wrote I'd Rather Go Blind with Ettta James as an additional credit. People shoud fact check before spreading disinformation.
Isn't that easy? If there're twins, identical books or songs, etc., the firstborn will always be the older. And if no credit is given, someone might've an idea to matchup a 'cat' and 'coffee' in reversed.🤭
It's nice cover. Much like a popular song by Whitney Houston "I will always love you" from the bodyguard. Dolly Parton Anyone? Not stealing if someone signed over the rights to it. 🤷♂️ Blues riffs are in every genre.

I hope her family is getting royalties to the song
They really should

Absolutely.
They better be
Well Tennessee Whiskey isn't Chris song it's an old country song he covered it as many others have so Being that to my knowledge he never took credit for the arrangement there wouldn't be a case.
I’ve been saying this since I first heard Tennessee whiskey! Same song
yes most definitely both very nice songs when u feeling low n blue
I am very angry!!!
"Tennessee whiskey" is a plagiarism of the song I'd Rather Go Blind - Etta James!!!
It's a shame.
@@azeemusic2388
If the "author" of Tennessee whiskey said that this was based on
motives ETTA JAMES, then there would be no problems.
🔥🎯🔥
Yep!! I heard it immediately!
Ahhh the great Miss Etta, what a voice! Love this song!
Somebody owes Somebody , money!
Dang I wish I could buy this; they are both such great artists!!
I love them both!!!
I couldn’t believe that anyone else had this very same thought!! Great minds find common ground.
Hunny he stole it lol
You couldnt believe that someone would steal someone elses song? Im genuinely shocked haha
Nope, it’s called stealing someone else’s music. That’s called Fraud.
Love This Chris Singing And Etta James Singing Her Song Who Every Put This Together Done A Great Thing
Etta is a treasure
Etta, - you could pour that voice over pancakes.
Damn he ripped this off HARD
0:11 chris stapleton country blues.etta james blues jazz❤❤
So it appears that I be not the only cat out here that had the ear to notice. I love Etta's soul. Chris was recently here in Phoenix and I MISSED it. I bet the show was as smooth as Tennessee Whiskey, eh.
Both are remarkable artist that Transends time and color!
No way. That guy is a plagiarist
Chris is whack
Man stop white people been taking credit for shit they didn't write can't have shit
@@t0talimm0rtalzSame music for sure
I do these song so similar, lol. I can't believe how many people are mixing this exactly the same way.
Though I heard it before. They both sing it well. Smooooth Tennessee whiskey!
Yes! Finally heard what I was hearing long ago...although I would like to hear this as a remix mashup!!! Oh well...this will do for now!
Atmbxby has a Mashup of it...on RUclips
Artists use their senses to learn. So, I'm not surprised Mr. Stapleton was inspired by the great Etta James.
😂 inspired to steal the music as usual 😂
"inspiration"? Or theft? She never got credit or recognition for using it. Not sure if her estate or even record label got paid.
Etta James, George Jones, David Allen Coe, Chris Stapleton, all have something in common.
NONE OF THEM WROTE THE LYRICS OR MUSIC FOR THIS MASTERPIECE.
Etta co-wrote "I'd Rather Go Blind" with Ellington Jordan.
Yup I said it from day one when I heard it and said that’s the beat from Etta James I’d rather go blind and the actual lyrics are from George Jones I believe is the original Tennessee whiskey 🥃 John Stapleton and his crew where genius putting these great songs together
Yea when I first heard this it amazed me that he mixed George Jones lyrics with Etta James music.
George Jones *covered* it… the original recording was David Allen Coe. But neither of them wrote it, so it isn’t “their” lyrics - it was written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove.
I wish she was alive to hear this. I think she would be proud.
Proud vs stealing. Zero profit. Slavery is over darling. No wonder it costed him slot. Lol. H
Love the collaboration 😊
I think it was Theft. As he never gave her credit for the song.
two great soul singers I wish could have meet they would have made outstanding music togather.
A great singer and a thief? Are you serious

Chis isn't talented
Great mix
It just dawned on me while doing an actual important task ..these are the same song ofc i had to google it because ADD..and here we are
Used to spend my nights out in a barroom
Liquor was the only love I'd known
But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom
And brought me back from being too far gone
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
I've looked for love in all the same old places
Found the bottom of a bottle's always dry
But when you poured out your heart, I didn't waste it
'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talkin'
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl'
When I saw you and that girl walkin' around
Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Then to see you walk away from me, child, no
Whoo, so you see, I love you so much
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no
Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just
Sittin here thinkin', of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah
Whoo and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy
Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...
Actually Etta/family forfeited their royalties because she gave her songwriting credit to her friend. Something her/family has regretted for decades
Eu tb percebi essa relação...
Good riff for a fat biff 🔥😎
Etta all the way!
I love how it sounds like a two way love letter.
maaann love this nice flavor
thank you for this.
Great version by Chris, but he knicked it from Etta and should acknowledge that.
Miss Etta is so pretty
"Tennessee Whiskey" is a country song written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove. It was originally recorded by American country music artist David Allan Coe for his album of the same name Tennessee Whiskey, whose version peaked at number 77 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1981.
Laid on top of stolen cords.

Etta James song "I Rather go blind" was written in 1968 by Billy Foster, Ellington Jordan
George Jones also recorded the song
Exactly
Love me some Etta James
what about " He's so fine" by the chiffons and "my sweet lord" by george harrison now tbose are exact but i really like them both!!!
Here's another one, Garth Brooks thunder rolls, and DragonForce through the fire and flame.
Except George actually paid royalties to the Chiffons for their "inspiration"
he should paying her estate for sure.. it's her song!! no embellishments. it's just talking about whiskey, which by the way was taught to Jack Daniels by "uncle earnest" (also African American).

He's on the record saying he just came up with rift sitting around with boi's. As if!! That's my problem.
@@countryking845it is serious stealing
@@vatricegeorge rappers steal samples of songs all the time I don’t hear shit from them
I love this Yes they are pretty much the same but artist have been using blues like this forever Sometimes it's awesome

David Allen Coe
The James family should be compensated.
I knew he ripped her off!!!
I New this melody of Etta James ID rather go blind the real classical legend women was stole by this new booty chris Stapleton
Yes, same song/blues beat
Different lyrics
Lyrics is from Country singer George Jones and music is from Etta James
@@audacityofthemind8348 Lyrics are from Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
❤❤
Does anybody here know he didn’t write this song
I know now.
Of course it's a cover.
It's her cords that are stolen. New lyrics on her music.
@@zoesunshine2646 Not stolen. People sample or has redone songs for as long as you have been alive.

Brown liquor music
Ice ice baby

Tennessee whiskey sounds more like Dorothy Moore Misty Blue
Tuneeeeeeeeee
Thanks for this
It’s not respect when you don’t credit Etta James!
Look up "Love on the Brain" by Rihanna
But etta James song was id rather go blind.and not from moonshine.something like that...
There is nothing remarkable about a thief !
This is old news when Chris 1st dropped the songs all musicians new it was white washed 🤫
Ehh it’s the 50’s chord progression. Speaking as a black musician. It’s more the sound of an era than a racial ownership.
Oooooooo.
😏🤔🤭
Totally bit Etta

Appropriation!?
It’s clearly the same
Why can't everyone one accept it for what it is .. seems like a stupid favoritism
Stapleton the plagiarist
Is there anything these folks don't steal .....
He just used the beat but in white populations white people come on the radio all day singing black songs word for word as if it's their's.
@@MrKelzKelz Put a name on it
It's nice cover. Much like a popular song by Whitney Houston "I will always love you" from the bodyguard. Dolly Parton Anyone? Not stealing if someone signed over the rights to it. 🤷♂️ Blues riffs are in every genre.
Tennessee Whiskey is a cover song chris didn't steal it
Lol everything you use in life is made by white people 🤡🤡
yall need to stop stealing.
Who is yall
Plagerism
So why didn’t Chris give this woman ANY credit when this song came directly from her?!?
I love Tennessee whiskey but I always thought it’ll would been so much better with a woman voice with more soul
