Sy Smith's voice is brilliant, sensational, and breathtaking. No one can compare with her interpretation for this song "The look of Love", especially at the very beginning. I heard it on PBS in 2011. In 2024, I am still overwhelmed by it.
Me and my brother took our mother to see Chris Botti and Sy Smith at The Mohegan Sun many years ago. Both were cordial after the show was over and they had a meet and greet. I have to find the photos of my mom with Chris Botti and Sy Smith. I was raised to appreciate good music and both put on a really great show.
philip cho I too love the entire BB collection and again on his “One Amazing Night” Special you can see how BB enjoys hearing new interpretations of his music. There’s a real confidence in knowing his legacy is secure and appreciation of how others perform your music.
Steven Carter, yes indeed. Another "sweet" song from the incomparable Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Their catalog of songs is unsurpassed and not just because of the quantity, but the quality and vast diversity of them as well. I enjoyed them as a teenager when they first came out and I enjoy them still.
YES! Deadly rhythm section all the way around. Bass and drum and guitar locked in the zone. Exceptional. And the singer and Botti, well, this is one of the best versions of this great tune I've ever heard.
Oh my.....what a beautiful song....they turned this classic into a sexy, jazzy and upbeat tune. Love it. Sy is SO GORGEOUS. Love the drummer, guitarist too......pure talent. I saw them in concert twice and it's even better live........
Yep! The guitarist is her cousin, Jazz Guitarist Mark Whitfield. I got put on her cuz of the last CD he just did with his sons. She’s on there and I could have swore it was Deniece Williams! I tracked her down and bought her CDS. Saw her stream a concert from the Blues Alley in DC back in August. SEE THIS WOMAN
@@JayJay-ky2qg NOT to mention his other a dozen or so immortal un4gettables (evuhhgreens 's such a blatant, clichesque word) ..several long docs on BB on the forum, i-views. Suggest look em up. Also : JOHNNY MANDEL, a similar cal genius .."The Shadow Of ..." what an era ...COMPARED TO WHAT ...? (by Les McCann ...).
One of the most beautiful and classy execution of this unforgettable song, in my opinion. Awesome Mrs. Smith, she has a voice like a "pure liquid gold"! Fantastic!
Including all the deserved accolades for Chris, Sy, Billy, bass and strings I can never get sick of this tight, slick and funky version of a Bacharach masterpiece...timeless!
She has a BILLION DOLLAR VOICE!!! I hope she gets promoted very soon. I could listen to her voice for hours !!!! WOW !! The way she blends her voice and the trumpet player at 5:11 is BRILLIANT !!!!!!
This music transports me to another place, another time. I lose myself listening to it. Priceless. Amazing Chris Botti and Sy Smith. Not forgetting the Soulful Drummer who nailed it. 🧡 Holy Moses💘 Greetings from Singapore 🙏
Everyone is talking about her beautiful voice everything about that woman is beautiful that afro her hair the perfect earring and that smile, man that a great start for my kind of woman...
Horrid, the ‘stylings’ of the singer completely overwhelmed the sweet soulful lyrics and the orchestration obliterated the mood of the original score. This recording should be banned for hurting my heart not just my ears.
@@sciocezze68 Sy Smith ... love her , check her out on a collaboration with Pete "Coke" and Peter David Escovedo singing " Let's Stay Together"... even more fabulous!!
Her look, the song, her voice, the style, the band.... This catapulted me back to my beloved 70's and did it in a way that was smooth and sexy! Billy, you make playing the drums look like it's super fun and sound like Buddy Rich! Killing it man!
I have always enjoyed watching and hearing this drummer! He puts everything into his playing. Not only is his timing impeccable, but he's so rhythmic with his movements. You really FEEL the music!
I saw Chris Botti at Deer Valley a few years ago and it was truly one of the best Concerts I've ever been to, and I've been to hundreds of concerts. Consummate musicians, all of them. And Chris is beyond outstanding! So is this gal singing.
That sweetness in her voice just melts all your troubles away. Smooth, relaxing and upbeat. She really brings out the band's many flavors and colorful notes. This is a gem in a timeless era of the 70s to the 80s
Love this Music- Screaming with Talent all round, the Drummer is Awesome, Same as the Guitarist her cousin, Pianist and Chris Boti - Fabulous Musicians....Thank You
Very nice arrangement, excellent singing, Mark the guitar magician, modest Chris a gentleman with the perfect pitch and musical sense... and the great Billy Kilson on drums!
I love this version of this song. Sy is magical. Chris is a true talent. The arrangement is awesome. But the drummer is a gift to my eyes! Lol! My kiddos and I love his animation and intensity! L
So beautifully done!!! I love Chris, and this beautiful young lady reminds me so much of a singer back in the day a very sweet voiced lady by the name of Syreeta Wright ,she was the wife of our wonderful Musical genius Stevie Wonder. 🙏🏼💕
Chris Botti is such a classy dude and it's quite apparent that he is smitten with Sy... How sweet and lovely to see people enjoying one another as well as entertaining others. By the way, I was quite fortunate to see Chris twice in Cleveland Ohio; Once downtown and the other in a park. He was flawless in each performance. Bravo blue eye soul brother Botti. Hope to see you soon and very soon back in Cleveland, Ohio!
Chris really presents a great performance, both the vocalists, band members, especially including Mark. Chris makes his trumpet talk as though it is another vocalist. Truly sensational!
On peut l'écouter 100 fois. Toujours une découverte. Ça monte dans les tours Quelle sensation Quel plaisir Et quel frissons Tu rentre dedans. (Complètement)
Amazing performance by all. Sy has Minnie Ripperton vibes, Mark Whitfield is on fire 🔥 and Chris Botti is the consumate professional never overshadowing Sy just enjoying the conversation or interplay. The band is fabulous with the orchestra. Wow 👏
What pure talent!!! Chris is the consummate musician. And Sy Smith is an absolutely stunning singer--range, tone, assurance, passion, she has it all. Oh, yeah, and the drummer isn't bad either!
You can never compare the rendition to an original piece. But, if you are a musician look at the arrangement, the vocals and the musical instrument together... even Sergio will give a thumbs up...
One of the best performances; Sy's voice just melted all over this song, but for the life of me I don't understand why it wasn't included on the album? I keep this video on repeat! 🔥🔥🔥😍😍
I generally don't care for Smooth Jazz much but I like Chris Botti's playing. This is a well done funky cover of a Chestnut Pop tune. I like the singer and she comes with some of her own lines when she trades off with Chris which I think is great. Chris has come a long way ! Nice strings arrangement etc. Look forward to hearing more from this lady!
Holy Schmoley...there are thousands of versions of LOL...this is the best..love how minimal Chris is in his rendition of the fabulous melody..the rhythm section is sensational

The chemistry between Sy and Chris is priceless. Chris looks like he's well pleased with her performance. The band is slamming!
Now that's a performance.
No doubt!

@@GhostTrain615 That was a true treat for your mom.
@@kipperlane8959 Unfortunately and out of nowhere, I was dealt a severe blow when my mom passed away last April 23rd.
I’ll admit it. I’m a Burt Bacharach fanboy. I love finding new versions of his songs. I love the funk in this version.
philip cho I too love the entire BB collection and again on his “One Amazing Night” Special you can see how BB enjoys hearing new interpretations of his music. There’s a real confidence in knowing his legacy is secure and appreciation of how others perform your music.
Young people pay attention, this is an old classic song, we old people call it mighty sweet!!

BEYOND THAT TY
Hands up to your command my man. I feel you. Yooo young people pay attention, it's time to learn.
Not so old, Anita was the best!
Turn it up young person
As a baby boomer turned seasoned citizen whats not to love? This is classic and timeless music. The ensemble is to live for.
Thanks for your support and your comments on my profile page you are always welcome 💕💕💕
Let's not forget to mention the bassist in this outstanding collaboration of musicians. Sy is a fabulous singer.
Chris Botty, a person who knows when to perform and doesn't show off himself ... great collaboration
Give it up to that drummer!!! My man is hittin everything like his life depends on it!! So good!
No doubt !
He is very animated!!!!
Hell yeeah..
YES! Deadly rhythm section all the way around. Bass and drum and guitar locked in the zone. Exceptional. And the singer and Botti, well, this is one of the best versions of this great tune I've ever heard.
YES!! He is 👏🏻
Love this in November 2024. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I recommend you to listen to the Dusty Springfield/Bacharach original (and best).
It was always jazzy and sexy….Burt provided a soundtrack for adults in the 1970s….nice version.
Multiple even sounds and but kicking music and musicians...God bless them.
I heard this song so many times recorded by so many artists. Doesn't matter who sings or records it, this song will live forever just like love...
I couldn't agree more, and Dusty Springfield's original 1967 recording (from "Casino Royale"), will live forever, too.
@@roried Yup, the only thing I liked about that movie.
We all have to thank Burt Bacharach for the music, the man is a musical genius & legend. Thank you Burt.

Sy Smith vocals along w/the guitarist & Drummer while I laid my head back & Closed my eyes just sent my mind Dancing all the way to venus.

Billy Kilson

L Simmons me too, and dance 💃🏽
Due to a bad agent.
She's beautiful her voice is strong I'm loving her

I would pay double to see this collaboration live. Drummer Billy Kilson is the real deal, underated and highly talented. "What music."
Billy is THE business...like WOW!
He's on beast mode!
Who's the guitarist?
I agreed
Mr. prime time Billy!
Magnifique ! Des musiciens , un trompettiste de talents!!!! Et une chanteuse qui est ėpoustouflante !!!! C'est gėnial !!! Merci!!

The way she blends her voice and the trumpet player at 5:11 is BRILLIANT !!!!!!
A trillion- adjusted for inflation.

Al Brown That’s the best comeback you have? So cliche, weak and laughable 😜. Boy, bye 🙋🏽♀️and peace ✌🏾 out!!!
@Al Brown that's uncool.
Horrid, the ‘stylings’ of the singer completely overwhelmed the sweet soulful lyrics and the orchestration obliterated the mood of the original score. This recording should be banned for hurting my heart not just my ears.
Drummer, bass and guitarist are absolutely fantastic, Sy is just gorgeous in many ways. And Chris is cool as always
Wow first her beauty makes you stop in your tracks then her voice transports you to another time and place.
Well said Gordon :-)

Sy Smith can sing. Wow! I love this song. She did the theme song with Al Green for Soul Food(the tv series). She has a beautiful voice.
That drummer shot me thru the roof…. Talk about vibin’ . Lead guitar and bassist…. Mind blowing! Chris… perfection… as expected!
I saw Sy Smith in Cleveland with Chris Botti and I loved it! They killed!
Shila Iris me too I saw them both in Guadalajara,Jalisco last year. That was the best that I ever listened.

What a fantastic version of this classic love song and blown-away by Sy Smith's singing and the infectious rhythm section, plus of course Chris!
I loved Paula Coles version with Botti but this one has a certain spice and modern take to the song . Love it!!!
Talent showcases this production with greatness, on so many levels.
Wonderful! Talented musicians, no autotune, just genuine skill and chemistry between the whole group, hats off. This is life, encapsulated! Thank you.

Fantastic performance to this Bacharach and David amazing song. Regards from Brazil.
Good one, Chris Botti! ❤️
Applause for you SY!!!! ✌🏻❤️🎶
This rendition of The Look of Love was so good that I bought the Blu Ray disk of this performance at Boston.
This deserves to be listened to at tremendous volume. Repeatedly !
The ultimate expression of SOUND...ART !!!...WOAH...BOTTI you nailed it... deeply
You can never compare the rendition to an original piece. But, if you are a musician look at the arrangement, the vocals and the musical instrument together... even Sergio will give a thumbs up...
The real and true Look of Love! Amazing performance by the One and Only Sy Smith!
One of my favorite songs - she spiced it up - Bacharach is a good way to take it to another level 🤗
Great stylist. Great voice control. A Burt Bacharach delight. Great trumpet playing too. And jazz skatting.
One of the best performances; Sy's voice just melted all over this song, but for the life of me I don't understand why it wasn't included on the album? I keep this video on repeat! 🔥🔥🔥😍😍
Great! Brava Sy Smith! And thank you, Chris Botti and friends, for the cool stuff!
Fantastic!
I generally don't care for Smooth Jazz much but I like Chris Botti's playing. This is a well done funky cover of a Chestnut Pop tune. I like the singer and she comes with some of her own lines when she trades off with Chris which I think is great. Chris has come a long way ! Nice strings arrangement etc. Look forward to hearing more from this lady!
Spectacular! What a beautiful voice!
Holy Schmoley...there are thousands of versions of LOL...this is the best..love how minimal Chris is in his rendition of the fabulous melody..the rhythm section is sensational
Great talent, love her voice ! ♥
