Love it! I know there were a few mixes of this song in 1977, but I've never heard one with a drum shuffle...could easily be Bernard Purdy or Jeff Porcaro laying down this track - Mario, just fantastic. Love the harmonies in the backing vox, IIRC they were unison on the original. Give Andy Seymore a nice smooth vocal and he'll make it even smoother! Love the vintage key patches Darren, the guitar solo was spot on and a nice grounded bass. Better than the original, in my humble....
@@chaschampion777 Cool, didn't catch that (the comments were coming in faster than I could type, lol) I think it's a cool version with the shuffle. Lionel Ritchie meets Steely Dan...
@svengilson oh, for sure, and I hope I didn't sound snobby. Bonham and a number of groove masters came to mind immediately but no doubt that was another of Mario's masterclasses👍
Darren, I know that Singit Live is a business for you and your team, but to your fans around the world you and the band are a bright spot each week, a distraction from the mess that the world is in at this point. Thank you!
@@singitliveworldamen, Darren...i always look fwd to ya'lls videos as we say in the deep South in the USA! God bless yall...for real! I look fwd to the surprise song youll cover...and the surprise lineup youll use. But every single time...its a awesome song with a always badass lineup! Andy and Nikki and of course Darren are my favorites...but thats just if i was forced to pick...lol! Seriously, i hope this finds you and the band with a smile. Musically yours-JK
@@AndySeymour hey brothah, this is your stateside friend from GA. Its been a min since you have fronted the BAND...but worth the wait! I hope Lionel sees this and pays u a deserved compliment. Also compliments to the blue jacket...holy moly! Ive worn one similar when my band did a 100% Elvis tribute and i had a blue cumberbund and bowtie, yes sir!!!!!! Anyway...hope you are doing well! My father recently passed so life is quite different without him now. Anyway...look fwd to hearing you again with Darren and the band soon! Cheers my musical soul brothah!
@@JK-g62 Hey man! Nice to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear about your Father's passing. Speak about him with friends and family, and he'll live on forever. My jacket in this video is denim; it's just difficult to see. I wonder if they make a denim cumberbund? Heh heh 😀
Ladies and gentlemen that was the incomparable @AndySeymour making your Saturday easy as a Sunday morning... Another polished performance from the @Singitlive team 🎤🎶👏👌❤🙏
This band always has me closing my eyes and taking a trip back in times to my youth😌. Usually it feels so good my eye's fill with tears 🥲. A feeling that no money can buy or medication can reproduce 😌. How I do miss those days ❤
@@AndySeymour how about more Motown, I suggested you and Nikki cover the Marvin and Tammi songbook! "Ain't no mountain high enough" for you and Nikki :)
Andy's interpretation of this Lionel Richie smash is well done, highlights Andy's talent and shows why SingIt Live is so well respected, no matter what day of the week it is wherever you are on planet earth!
Who needs Lionel Ritchie when you have a fabulous singer like Andy Seymour. Great rendition Andy. You look marvelous too. Great band accompanying you as well. Love you all ❤
I adore Mario Marino' drumming. He makes it look so very simple, but please take my word for it when i say that shuffle groove is far from simple. Absolutely brilliant!
I'm always pleased when Andy Seymour sings with you guys! He's got the voice, the personality and the moves! Background vocals are great. Everything was a work of art. Lionel Ritchie can't be beat on this song, but you guys came mighty close
@@AndySeymour Cheers to you Andy. Always appreciate your talent. "Just the Two of Us" was the first time I heard you. Have loved every song since. Plus, it is always a hit with the ladies.
Thank you Sing It Live for another great performance of a classic song. Always thought this song was very underrated. I love the part from 2:21 - through the guitar solo. With much appreciation! 😊
Extensively easy on my ears. Haven't seen this dude for awhile, but so dig his voice and his vibe. Well done, gentlemen. Nothing but love for you guys.
When you got some great guitarists on board, it would be a sin if you didn't ask them to 'show off'. Some fans really love these. But seriously, it depends on the arrangement, whether the lead guitarist need to 'shine' or not, like in this case. Compared to Darren's former channel now, at least we are lucky to see so many great guitar solos here at SIL, and that in part makes this channel stand out to discerning fans. Moreover, one needs to have chops to 'show off' convincingly.
Mr. Andy, love hearing your soulful take on Lionel Richie, and the band is smooth like the Commodores. Mr. Darren, great job. I really look forward to Sing It Live videos every Friday. Be blessed from Virginia, USA.
Nice...Excellent vocal phrasing on those lyrics. Smooth and silky wall of sound on the back up vocals and the drummer with the Purdie shuffle and that one suspended spacious sparse drum fill in. Nice work gentleman. This goes in my playlist.
Andy, you are a total star (and so is the band!). I wish you'd been around when I was producing jingles in Adelaide in the late 70s, early 80s, but you probably weren't even borne then. 🤣🤣
Cheers Russ! I started my professional studio career in '86 in Adelaide with Mark Rivett, Peppers & Quentin giving me my first paid studio jobs. Being paid to sing was all I ever wanted to do, and I sang any & every damn thing i could; anywhere, anytime! Still do! 😀 Sincerest thanks for your compliments mate. 🙏
One of my favorite songs. Every time, without fail, it brings back a flood of memories and feelings. This is an absolutely brilliant recording. Thank you.
Perfection! It was nice seeing all guys playing and providing back up singing together. Andy, please don't make us wait too long to hear those glorious vocal cords again. What a pleasure it is to sit back, close the eyes, and just be taken away with the melody.
Oh yay!! I've missed Andy and his suave way!! You are all incredible artists! Finally got to see a video right off the beat!! Thank you for the music SIL!!!! Brilliant! ❤

Glad you mentioned the drum shuffle, so I don't have to :)
I actually mentioned it a day before he or anyone else did🙃
@@chaschampion777 Cool, didn't catch that (the comments were coming in faster than I could type, lol) I think it's a cool version with the shuffle. Lionel Ritchie meets Steely Dan...
@svengilson oh, for sure, and I hope I didn't sound snobby. Bonham and a number of groove masters came to mind immediately but no doubt that was another of Mario's masterclasses👍
And neither Purdy nor Porcaro shuffled while also singing!
Darren, I know that Singit Live is a business for you and your team, but to your fans around the world you and the band are a bright spot each week, a distraction from the mess that the world is in at this point. Thank you!
Thanks John

The incomparable Andy Seymour and Darren's Sing It Live band make Saturday mornings (in Australia) also so very easy.
That final note guitar dude played at the end of the solo held so long it almost reached Joe Satriani. Excellent work to all of you.
Germany Saturday 01:22 and I think hell is this singer from down under talented!
This singer is terrific. Love the charisma and his "easy" style of singing
Hermoso amigos temaso, sin palabras, fuerte abrazo de Argentina.....
It is so easy to listen to Andy. Thank you Sing it Live.
Great lead vocals - tick!
Superb drums- tick!
And I was waiting for that guitar solo - tick!
Wonderful interpretation and performance team!
Yo Andy ! still the man.
My favorite Lionel Richie song! Loved it!
Lovely arrangement and amazing vocals, great to have Andy back again! 🙂
Andy Seymour......let's SEE MORE!
Yes!!!!!!!
Andy is cool as the other side of the pillow !!
I hope Andy does this at your Arkaba gig next weekend!! Please!
J'adore ! Ça transporte le cœur merci M. Andy et messieurs les musiciens ! Gratitude pour ce moment d'exception !

Esta melodía es elegante, linda y el Sr Andy dio cátedra con ella.❤
Great rendition of a classic Lionel track. Had the privilege of seeing Mr Richie in concert in June 2023. 💚
Andy is always a treat to listen to!
Smooth as butter, easy like a Sunday morning. Andy Seymour shoots and scores! Legendary.
David, 😀😀😀
Andy is one of the guys that has made these bands great. Class and persona. Young entertainers - watch and learn. This is what you want to emulate. A+
Thank you for a seriously cool compliment! 🙏😀
@@AndySeymour how about more Motown, I suggested you and Nikki cover the Marvin and Tammi songbook! "Ain't no mountain high enough" for you and Nikki :)
Such a polished, soothing, and comforting sound. This band is all around topnotch.💯
Another excellent production, thank you all.

Brilliant rendition
A fantastic rendition of "Easy" Andy Seymour is blessed with a vocal talent that only a few singers have.
Nice twist by the drummer playing the half time shuffle! Sounds great.
Thank you Sing It Live for another great performance of a classic song. Always thought this song was very underrated. I love the part from 2:21 - through the guitar solo. With much appreciation! 😊
Vi a Andy en otro video interprerando "All night long" del gran Lionel Richie.
Felicitaciones a toda la banda!
Andy! Lord I love your soul. Way to bring it Brother. And Shaun, so so nice on the guitar. Gentlemen, so easy.

Esta melodia es elegante, linda y este Sr Andy dió catedra con ella, bello todo❤
This band is exquisite. Mr.Seymour IS ANOTHER LEVEL. Talent. Voice. Mannerisms. STAGE PRESENCE. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has IT !!!!!
To all of you at Sing it Live, thank you for the music. It made a big difference in my heart transplant recovery. I had to Roll With The Changes.
Hawkeye, I wish you a strong & speedy recovery brother. Music will heal your heart & soothe your soul. 😀😀
@@AndySeymour Thank You
@@hawkeyedino 😀😀
You donei it right,Andy. You are always a special voice.
I don’t know if the old adage maintains you need to have soul to make soul but it certainly does make it go down EASY! Brilliant!
Great to see this song given the Andy Seymour treatment. Superb.
Andy you are always the epitome of smooth and soulful.
Also you’re looking trim!
Thanks Carl! So far I've ditched 90 Ibs!
@@AndySeymourgreat job brother!!!

Top performance by top musicians and vocalist ❤
Will have this on repeat driving from Geelong to Adelaide next week for the @SingitLive concert. 👌👌 @AndySeymour 🔥🔥

Very well done guys, professional ,nailed it.
Brilliant - outstanding , seemingly effortless vocal performance.
Una de mis canciones preferidas de "Commodores". Saludos y éxitos
Great song! Andy sings it great!😊
Brings back memories of the early 90's, and Faith No More's cover. Nice soul feel.....
Very nice vocals…..all around! And, I liked how the guitar player stayed faithful to that tone & feel of the iconic, soulful solo! 👏🥃👍
Nailed that solo!
These guys are tremendous. They should have at least 2 million subscribers.
Dr Smooth is back in the house......magnificent rendition guys
The Cat Daddy himself, Andy Seymour laying it down so smoothly, as only he can!! Well done gents. #SingItLive #Producernerd #AndySeymour
🙏😀 😀
The "understated" (no showing off) guitar was perfect.
True👏👏👏👏👏👏
