As a life long fan of Marvin G. I have some good covers of this number, Teddy Swims etc, all pretty cool to be honest. This however is exceptional, the rasping soul in this man’s voice, his timing with the band are breathtaking. Someone wrote above “I welled up”, me too mate. I am stunned and breathless!! I am 74yrs old and am blown away……WONDERFUL!
My mate took me to see these guys in a little pub called the Scotia about 18 years ago and the singer burst into the same vocal power that he does in this video and its literally the only gig in my life where people around me just looked completly blown away as if they had just witnessed a miracle or something. I then had the pleasure of seeing them again at a wedding and the same friend put this on at a party last weekend. Absolutely incredible.
Did you get music chills? I did... damn.... All my hair just poped up...amazing voice, exelent saxs and a big high five to the rest of the band. You just made my year complete 🎶
Rod Stewart directed me here, he says this guy is the greatest blue eyed soul singer ever..well that's some big shoes to fill, Sam or Rod's, but I'm BLOWN AWAY, tears are flowing. My favorite Sam Cooke songs that I've wanted Rod to cover for 50 years.. This guy is PHENOMENAL
My late Dad was in bands so I grew up listening to all these classics in Scotland. He was actually on the " White Heather Club " I will be 67 yrs old soon In love. Lol ❤😅Takes me back to good times. Need them more than ever at the mo! Thankyou x ❤
This is the first time I've listened to these guys. And wow they have blown my mind. What an amazing voice and band. This is the first time I've ever thanked Tik Tok.
We just went to a wonderful NY party in Glasgow and this band performed at it. Wow, they were amazing. And his vocals are even better live. When he belted out the first line of this song, his vocals were SO powerful and so beautiful that I got chills. Everyone in the room was mesmerised.
Irish man ,from Cork ,originally lreland ,saw vintage expolsion" in oban ,last night ,fantastic entertainment, l bought a wolly hat,,all the best from Eamon Murphy ,Greenock ,
OH MY LAND~!!! Nearly fell off my chair and broke a bone!!! My musician husband who plays at least 20 instruments (even a hurdygurdy sp.) was floored!!!
A group doing the impossible singing classics equal or better than the original. Why is the world occupied with crap rap or other jungle bang bang when this is available. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
OMG! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!! I love this old school R&B sound--very few people do that anymore! So much soul and MELODY!!! kudos, guys!!! Please come to California!!!
Where've I been? This just showed up on my feed. Must be a God thing. Cause it doesn't speak to me. It yearns with anticipation. And a change is coming. Put on your big boy pants.
I'm just waiting for the other five people to be out of the house so I can belt this song out, so far not happening but it will happen, love this version and the band.
As my old Mum would say, "This bloke can bloody well sing". Absolutely fantastic, best version I have ever heard and that includes the original. Thank you for making my day listening to this on what would have been my Mother's 105th birthday!
You need to come to the US! I love that you are touring your Homeland first and letting your own people enjoy your concerts first but you must come across the pond. You are the very best. Dream the highest because you've already reached it
All these folks wanting to see this on Spotify should be asking where we can see you performing live or how we can at least buy your music directly from you, better the money goes directly to the performers than Spotify!
All the comments speak to the NEED to hear more of this! Always hoped I would hear singing like this (Cooke, Redding...again). Well done gentlemen, well done!
Anybody who can cover Sam Cooke and sound like that deserves respect.
Listen to maverick sabres cover
Makes me well up a little, such an amazing group, such an amazing voice...
Wow ! Gotta get to see this band live .

He's doing Otis Redding not Sam Cooke 😊
I always said "no one will ever sing like Sam" but this man comes pretty close. It gave me chills.
Absolutely divine vocals

Bessed to see them!
The Scotia in Glasgow? Glasgow's oldest pub I believe. I am American but my Scottish uncle took me there many years ago.
How many times have we heard covers of this....This is by far THE BEST!!!! 💖💛💚🎶

Rod Stewart's favourite soul singer
Dude I saw that... hes got to help them get boosted. This band and this singer are ammmmazingggg
Sometimes, a quiet "wow" is enough. Absolute perfection.
You need to come to the US! I love that you are touring your Homeland first and letting your own people enjoy your concerts first but you must come across the pond. You are the very best. Dream the highest because you've already reached it
