He first did this on Jo Whileys show on Radio 1, in the Live Lounge, where the guest are asked to cover a song that they would not normally be associated with, and he did this. Audience reaction was massive, and a few DJs played it over the course of the week. A week later Pharell was in the Radio 1 studios being interviewed and the DJ played him this. His reaction was something along the lines of "Damn,,,, that's a white boy?" and immediately asked for a copy to be made from the DAT.
I just lllllllove the little spark in his eyes when he first sings "I was going to tear ya' ass up"... He's so excellent at making any unexpected song his. Deep deep bow to Mr Cullum. He managed to make this song a new one in fact: nothing to do with the original !!!
I think Luckillius lives in on the ground floor without elevators in the building.This is everything but elevator music!Very surprising,great version of Pharrell's Frontic.Shows Jamie Cullum's versatility, singing and swinging with Burt Bacharach one day,moving him (the man who's seen and heard it all)and then this (and all the other individual,typical Jamie Cullum interpretations).I think it's pretty awesome.He reminds me of Tania Maria here and this guy's not even 30!Thanks for the post, ppa10
Man, I'm thankful for Jamie Cullum. The "cover tune" is a lost art, but he makes me realize that their IS hope for the current crop of "artists" out there. All the R&B cats who are out there re-making tunes need to take a lesson from this guy: HAVE SOME IMAGINATION. R&B and even much jazz is sorely LACKING in imagination these days...all music really, but cats like Jamie C. remind of the days when there could be three COMPLETELY different version of the same song released inside a year.
I knew when I saw him supporting Tuck & Patti at the Union Chapel, Islington, that he would do some great stuff. This is a quality cover, but imagine how good it would be to hear Pharell harmonising on this too... anyone know of such a collabo?
@hollowman113 yeah man, the piano/bass doubling, so sick I just wish he didn't swing his solo section... straight bridges in swing tracks is such a dope sound
Damn, If you had a piano at home, and you brought a chick back with you from a night out... play this to her and sing it to her, I swear.. it would be something she would NEVER forget!
pharrell's version is better in my opinion, the chord changes in the original frontin' really make it a great song, and i think the song doesn't really fit cullum or his voice...
too gay? obviously you know nothing... This is a brilliant remake version of the original but Pharrell did right it for The Neptunes and that is equally as heavy...
this guy is so under-appreciated ...he is a modern genius
Still absolutely phenomenal. What a performance.
This is just brilliant, one of Jamie's best covers. He also happens to be the sexiest men on the planet which helps.
One word. Class. He is a perfect example of British genius
Odawg96, well said.
Jamie is kickin serious butt.
Talk about a breath of fresh air!
He's doin great!
What a perfomance! Love it big time!🤩
I love this brilliant Jamie's performance, somuch energy and very jazzy band!
The bass is amazing too
He killed this....amazing
i love that jamie can cover ANY song..from frank to pharrell....he is truly an artist :)
sing it Jamie, represent for the UK 1 talented guy
Smashing music..........
great chord music and voice
jazzy and swingy
Love it
Luis

This guy should record make a full song out of the part he did on You Can Do it, Too. That's how I was introduced to him.
Where and when was this if you please, and thanks for the post. :D
I have a few cds of him!.....This wazzz...UNFORTUNATELY, a very OVERLOOKED TALENTED G U Y!!!
Could be Franks' Sinatra's best Musical Companion❤🎉😢
you are right! this version is way classier than pharell's. the slickest remake i've ever heard, cheers!
very good
people thumb down your comment because its their opinion to disapprove of your opinion
uum.. yum.
COnhe cia a versão dos neptunes, mas essa ficou muito bacana também....
@D_lemes
GREAT cover!!!!!!
Awesome.
LEGIT!
Lol@people who think the original is better. this is much better than the original
Yeah still cool x
@hollowman113 yeah man, the piano/bass doubling, so sick
I just wish he didn't swing his solo section... straight bridges in swing tracks is such a dope sound
Simular tone to Valary :)
Damn, If you had a piano at home, and you brought a chick back with you from a night out... play this to her and sing it to her, I swear.. it would be something she would NEVER forget!
When “1 year ago” turns to “16 years ago”
great!
いいね！
Studio Voo! Honto ni!!!!

PHARRELL WHO?
lol cat... haha ha but he is good
looks like the guy who killed that girl in aruba
세계최고!!!
pharrell's version is better in my opinion, the chord changes in the original frontin' really make it a great song, and i think the song doesn't really fit cullum or his voice...
sounds alright, but its doesnt really suit that style of music, i think pharrells one is much better
too gay? obviously you know nothing... This is a brilliant remake version of the original but Pharrell did right it for The Neptunes and that is equally as heavy...
최고의 피아노 연주~ 노래는 별로 ㅠ
19 suckers
pharrell's was better
