Yes, he is beautiful and young but has an old soul. The feels come right out of his pores into your very core. He's right up there with the greats of old who also had this ability...like Janis, Otis Redding, Al Green, and I'm sure I'm forgetting one or two others. 🎶❤🎶
@@ciscobriano i suppose that's a matter of opinion? in my opinion, the drummer is doing a hell of a job driving that train. It's a different version, yes, but that's the point.
The Bass & Drums are killing it!!! and then on top of it Paulo Nutuni's unique soul voice at the absolute peak of his abilities. And the fearlessness he shows in his ability to close his eyes to mean every word he sings and to take you, the listener, into his world.
+Martin Hatchuel well i like him aswell but he messed up this song hard. i was looking forward to a male cover of this song for a loong time already but this i really do not like.
He's the kind of artist you don't want to share with anyone, and you don't want anyone to know of him. His work is so damn artistic that you never get enough of it !!
The subtle guitars in the background, with a quiet drumming back beat, sublime. Then that pounding drumming kicks in and boooom. Magic. The horn section starts up, so 60's. You just get used to that fast rhythm, then it goes all soft play again to bring your head back down to earth. These musicians really deserve credit too. They're not just playing, they're feeling it.
Iron sky live at Abbey Road helped me to kick off Heroin and methedon I am now 5years clean so I thank you 😊 for your unknown support MR PAOLO NUTINI Marcus Charlton! !!!!’mn
This is the first time I've ever heard a man sing this song. I love the Etta James version and Paolo does justice to that. His gravelly voice is perfect for this!
every performance he does he sings as though this has been pent up in him for so long he sings with such conviction and emotion and rawness I can't get enough of it
Its just the way he pulls himself out of the emotion he was feeling in that performance right at the end totally immerses himself in to everything he sings his expression is everything rare rare talent
One thing I would lv to do is sit in a small pub no kids getting drunk .chill out a funny.cig a few drinks .and listen to Mr amazing Paolo Nutini. Pure bliss.im just listening to funk my life up.lv him .
I would love to be able to sit down and have a beer with this genius and tell him that I’m about to become a father for the first time and there’s nothing more I would want for the next generation than to benefit from his talents. What a guy, what a performer.
You know this world is f'up when you see a guy with this much talent and he is hardly known by mainstream. He is one of the finest singers i have ever heard in any genera of music. Perfect looks, gravely voice, and stage presence....how did he not get discovered? It makes me ill.
He did get discovered. His first album was still his style but slightly more poppy and then he just wanted to do his own thing and not be tied down by interfering labels. The best route for him and people like us who like him I think!
I just can't get my head round how talented this young man is. I saw him in concert a few weeks ago and I felt euphoric, he has that effect. Don't ever leave Paolo!
Ebenezer Marley Yes. I thought seeing him live might be that way. Like, I leave my body kind of experience. lol can't even imagine what it's like. Hopeful maybe one day.
Kelly Marie I took my 8 year old nephew to the Night Afore concert in Edinburgh that New Year. He still talks about how good Paolo was and is learning guitar now 😍 Frightened Rabbit supported Paolo that night and they also made an impression on him. RIP Scott ❤ Live music can have such a positive influence on kids so take them when you can ✌🏻🙏
I did not think he was going to pull this one off...everytime I listen to Etta sing this song, she brings me to tears. Well done Paolo 👏 ❤ all the love and soul shines out of your singing.
If you're going to cover one of the greatest singers of all time...sfirst you have to have balls and courage, then you have reinvent it, take it to a new place - which he did! Respect Paulo - you are a true legend! ;)
Paolo, Paolo, PAOLO!!! Mamma Mia, baby.....talk about pouring your heart and soul into a song....bravo!!!! This is the best version of this song ever....you rock sweet boy....where are you these days? Come to CANADA!!
That time when you don't have nothing to do and just wanna listen to some good old music!!! Listen to this guy and he'll bring you to the place you can't even explain!!! Feel it people just the way he delivers the song it's AMAZING!!!
OMG how I love this man! The first time I heard him I thought he must be an old blues singer, got on RUclips and bam this beautiful Scottish man singing these amazing songs! He is truly a musical treasure for the world! Cheers
first I thought, oh, another Rod Stewart, then, after first few seconds, a was amazed!!!! This performance sets new standards for interpretation of this song.
It's like he's from another time. I hear definite Motown, jazz & blues influences. James Brown, Ray Charles, Etta James (obviously), Aretha, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, & even Joe Cocker.. Love this guy!
I was looking for an up tempo version for my band to play, this is great. I remember the first time I came across Paula Nutini, it was when he brought out his first single “Jenny don’t be hasty”. I was completely blown away, what a song!
Paolo knows how to hurt in songs. Very few artists have that impact on your senses like this young man. Only person I would actually go and see live.
Yes, he is beautiful and young but has an old soul. The feels come right out of his pores into your very core. He's right up there with the greats of old who also had this ability...like Janis, Otis Redding, Al Green, and I'm sure I'm forgetting one or two others. 🎶❤🎶
I seen him in Glasgow. He was top drawer a mixture of Otis Reddng and the Reverend Al Green it was phenomal.
@@PollyDactylhe was inspired by otis ❤
@thehighlander959 he says he was inspired by otis saw him 2 years back amazing artist ❤
Absolutely mind blowing. My first time hearing this young man. I am 83 years old and still love music This is so very good. LOVE YOU PAOLO.
You should try Matt Corby then :*
wendy bennetts it’s too fast . The band is playing a horrible version
God bless you... Good Music keeps the heart young... LOVE
@@ciscobriano i suppose that's a matter of opinion? in my opinion, the drummer is doing a hell of a job driving that train. It's a different version, yes, but that's the point.
wendy bennetts I love you xx
i wanna sit in a small pub late in the night listening to live music like this
Me too were is he
Dido
I hope someday all of our wish comes true
mybmwadventures I wanna roll around on carpet letting this absorb into my body
....and you want everybody to shut up,while holding your baby.....!??
Holy shit , he's just made that song his own
Omg he's voice he's better than the oldies
Old lady here. What did I just see? Paolo summoning ALL the spirits...this young man is mindblowing. God Bless his lovely soul. Thanks for the music!
The Bass & Drums are killing it!!! and then on top of it Paulo Nutuni's unique soul voice at the absolute peak of his abilities. And the fearlessness he shows in his ability to close his eyes to mean every word he sings and to take you, the listener, into his world.
Surely one of the most soulful performances on RUclips?
Little did he know, that this version would become the best version on RUclips.
For sure
Every few months I think about this cover. Always brings me to tears he’s so powerful!
It is so powerful that I often cannot listen to it when I am in a downer- I feel I won’t get out of my pain!❤
Absolutely the best version of this song! WOW, JUST INCREDIBLE
This guy's just the best thing that's happened to music in ages
+Martin Hatchuel well i like him aswell but he messed up this song hard. i was looking forward to a male cover of this song for a loong time already but this i really do not like.
+laurenz Füchtner but ye beauty is different in each eyes!
+laurenz Füchtner its better than the original ...by far!!!!!
+laurenz Füchtner r u serious. ..its Awwwwsum
na he totally dunno how to say made pop out of this nice song
Half Scottish half Italian, can’t get any sexier combination!
Of course it can...just remove the Scottish part ;)
Yes it can ..half Scottish half Italian .and half me ...there solved it ...see Beth Harts version to...yo...dude or dudett..
Nothing wrong with us Scottish people thank you very much 😊
Una perfetta combinazione!
If it's not Scottish, it's crap.
I’ll never be able to get over how beautiful this is. Been coming back to it for years
Cheers to that, I'm experiencing exactly the same
@@degroetjesvanrox cheers!!!!
he has not got soul, he is the soul. pure and genuine.
This ladies and gentleman is what you call SOUL.
👍❤️🙏🏼❤️
He's the kind of artist you don't want to share with anyone, and you don't want anyone to know of him.
His work is so damn artistic that you never get enough of it !!
So true, I really know this feeling 😃😃 I hid this songs from my entourage 😂
especially being scottish. so hard to let him go
BULL SHIT lol
Yep, I just don't want to explain how good this is. It hits right in your soul. Etta I love you for the lyrics!!!
Why wouldn't you want to share it? Never understood this concept
The subtle guitars in the background, with a quiet drumming back beat, sublime. Then that pounding drumming kicks in and boooom. Magic. The horn section starts up, so 60's. You just get used to that fast rhythm, then it goes all soft play again to bring your head back down to earth. These musicians really deserve credit too. They're not just playing, they're feeling it.
Yes you're right !I love it !!!🎺🎺🎺🥁🎸🎶🎶🎙
🖤 *SUBLIME* IS THE PERFECT WORD HERE.
Iron sky live at Abbey Road helped me to kick off Heroin and methedon I am now 5years clean so I thank you 😊 for your unknown support MR PAOLO NUTINI Marcus Charlton! !!!!’mn
Well done x
Fucking hell Paolo tears this up!!! cant get enough of his beautiful voice...this is class.
One of his best songs. I will look that version up. . thanks Mariam xx ;-)
Mariam Meliksetian it's so good to see people playing nice on here. :-)
This is the first time I've ever heard a man sing this song. I love the Etta James version and Paolo does justice to that. His gravelly voice is perfect for this!
Top three versions, Etta James, Rod Stewart, and Paolo Nutini
I 've listened also Beyonce version..and cried...the songs is simply amazing .. And it is one of the most beautiful perfomance... ❤ Hat up!!!
2020 still listening 👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥fire 💜💜💜💜💜💜
2021
With you Ivan 👏👏👏👏😍🇬🇧
2021 AND CHECKING IN............................
@@lindanorris2455 Same here 😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧
Totally different grooving from Etta's origin; he's creative and I love it.
Etta would approve young man 👍
2022. This one never gets old.
It’s 2023. I’m back
It’s 2024. I’m back. Again.
His talent is ridiculous.
❤
One of the UKs very best 👌 I agree
I used to love the Rod Stewart version...then i heard this and it totally blew my mind. The power in his voice and the emotion is out of this world :)
Yep paolo is fantastic x
Amazing isn't he... with a voice like that he could have gone a lot further if he hadn't gotten involved with 'party drugs'
He is the Scotsman Rod Stewart wishes he was. In fact Paolo probably is the Scottish Rod Stewart which is quite sad to say.
@@stevenpaterson2818 you sir are a fanny!
Wow SCOTLAND fiest he singing is if his LIFE DEPENDS on it🎉🎉🎉 sooouull
❤❤wow genies l8ke 8f u agree wow ry!
No this is ...in my opinion the best version
every performance he does he sings as though this has been pent up in him for so long he sings with such conviction and emotion and rawness I can't get enough of it
As though he is an old soul as well. : )
HOLY SHIT. First time hearing this in 2021. I'm years late but my god this is magical.
Its just the way he pulls himself out of the emotion he was feeling in that performance right at the end totally immerses himself in to everything he sings his expression is everything rare rare talent
I am waiting for the day he will start singing againmmm
Me too
Why did he stop singing?
@@pizdach1 to practise craftsmanship and enjoy simple livin'
We all do
@@bettyism_ I don't think he will return to performing. My guess, it was a case of too much too soon,
One thing I would lv to do is sit in a small pub no kids getting drunk .chill out a funny.cig a few drinks .and listen to Mr amazing Paolo Nutini. Pure bliss.im just listening to funk my life up.lv him .
His voice absolutely slays me, watching him tear into that song on stage makes me believe everything he's singing. WOW Paolo!
Well I am far over 60, but listen to him makes me my day 😃
THE FIRST MALE, THAT CAN SING THIS SONG DEEP FROM THE SOUL, BRAVO...❤️❤️
I would love to be able to sit down and have a beer with this genius and tell him that I’m about to become a father for the first time and there’s nothing more I would want for the next generation than to benefit from his talents. What a guy, what a performer.
Joe Cocker for your generation (I'm 70)? Except he's an exceptionally good songwriter, too.
Would have loved a song with him and Amy Winehouse 😍
Sarah-Louise Malonet OMG
Sarah-Louise Malonet agreed 100%
YESSSS!!!
Sarah-Louise Malonet Him and Etta would have been the best!
The passion he puts into his singing is breathtaking
the drummer in this deserves some mention drives this right to the end!!
boonestead
RIGHT ON!!!
😍🙏
Too much imo, but could be the recording.
You know this world is f'up when you see a guy with this much talent and he is hardly known by mainstream. He is one of the finest singers i have ever heard in any genera of music. Perfect looks, gravely voice, and stage presence....how did he not get discovered? It makes me ill.
He did get discovered. His first album was still his style but slightly more poppy and then he just wanted to do his own thing and not be tied down by interfering labels. The best route for him and people like us who like him I think!
I am old enough to remember the original version by Etta James, he brought his version right up to date with all the emotion 😍😍😍❤️👏👏👏🇬🇧
I love a man who can look like a llama and be able to sing one of the best songs ever all at the same time 😋
+Cloud Nine man you made me laugh. Thanks. Looks a llama. hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol
that's really funny, the humor was catchy,
OMG STOP!! HAHAHAHAHAHA
I love RUclips 😂😂😂
Brilliant
Pure class ❤
All I can say is WOW I love him
I just can't get my head round how talented this young man is. I saw him in concert a few weeks ago and I felt euphoric, he has that effect. Don't ever leave Paolo!
Jacob Marley seen him for the second time at Edinburgh
Hogmanay 2016-17 and he still has the same effect
Ebenezer Marley Yes. I thought seeing him live might be that way. Like, I leave my body kind of experience. lol can't even imagine what it's like. Hopeful maybe one day.
Kelly Marie I took my 8 year old nephew to the Night Afore concert in Edinburgh that New Year. He still talks about how good Paolo was and is learning guitar now 😍 Frightened Rabbit supported Paolo that night and they also made an impression on him. RIP Scott ❤
Live music can have such a positive influence on kids so take them when you can ✌🏻🙏
I love this guy and a dream to see his live performance. I can listen to one song for an hour = replay & replay 😂
On a Paolo kick again. It comes in waves, it comes, and it goes. Best part about his sound is that is always comes back.
Il vit ses chansons, il parle et sa voix est pure comme l'eau d'or . !! Bravo . 🐞🍀👏💝🎁🎸🎵🦄
He tears his heart out, stomps on it and covers it up with the blanket of his soul on this track. Holy Moses! I love you, Paolo!
Paolo you're version of I'd rather go blind is a masterpiece
This has got to be the most under-appreciated video on RUclips. And I've seen thousands.
Dear JESUS, WHERE DID HE COME FROM, pure talent AND Scottish damn❤️
He's accent an name threw me.. Twisted
I just love the way it takes over his soul ❤ that’s how you sing a song 🥰
Listening always..2020. God, his voice!
He's like Otis Redding's reincarnation. Wow, there's so much soul in this
Someone else, finally gets him!😉👍💜🏴
I did not think he was going to pull this one off...everytime I listen to Etta sing this song, she brings me to tears. Well done Paolo 👏 ❤ all the love and soul shines out of your singing.
Am back again, this is the best version yet on par with Etta, I’m a 70 year old lady who could listen to him forever👏👏👏😘🇬🇧
Più l ascolto più l amo.... L amo quella tua voce
If you're going to cover one of the greatest singers of all time...sfirst you have to have balls and courage, then you have reinvent it, take it to a new place - which he did! Respect Paulo - you are a true legend! ;)
Paulo is fantastic I am 68years old and he's the best I could listen to him all day and night he's got soul
The way Paolo sings this song is quite literally the definition of the term 'tearing it up' ... This is just amazing. I love it!
24-8-24 and I still love this mind blowing performance
Damn he is fire.
This guy is the man.
Where do I like this 1000 times?
Best cover ever for this song, trust me
Paolo, Paolo, PAOLO!!! Mamma Mia, baby.....talk about pouring your heart and soul into a song....bravo!!!! This is the best version of this song ever....you rock sweet boy....where are you these days? Come to CANADA!!
Could God have possibly created a more perfect Man? He is magnificent, voice looks accent! Absolutley speechless...
NOOOO he EVEN MADE THIS cover, it's impossible how how how how GOOOOOOOD it is!! How I missed it before???? Pure SOUL!!!!!!!!
He is the best! For me no one else can compair. Pure music, pure soul only vibrations... ❤️
Paulo Nutini is as hot in looks as his voice is rich and deep..
No Paolo, your version is the best one on the internet.
Fckn masterpiece 🎖🏆🎖🏆🎖🏆🎖
It's sooo Yours that I'll call it MASTERPIECINI 🎈💯😄 Brav.O! 💎
Pure, raw talent, so special. Him and Amy Winehouse - in a league of their own. Should see and hear much more of him.
How could anyone give a thumbs down to Paolo? It’s perplexing.
Paolo has a beautiful voice, always has. I can definitely hear his Otis Redding influence in this one.
He left it all out there again, 1 thing about Paolo he doesn't hold anything back, puer soul brilliant 👏
This young man is amazing the passion in singing this classic is mind blowing reminds me Charles Bradley similar in passion.
Absolutely brilliant 👌👏 Paolo has some voice, i'm proud to be Scottish 🫶❤️👌
He is amazing he is helping me through this lockdown I’m hospital listening to him he keeping me going luv u pulo
Hope you get better x
This man's voice is only scottish and makes you homesick jus gorgeous
A truly old soul in a young mans body, many thanks for bringing the magnificent music of my past to todays youth.
That time when you don't have nothing to do and just wanna listen to some good old music!!! Listen to this guy and he'll bring you to the place you can't even explain!!! Feel it people just the way he delivers the song it's AMAZING!!!
OMG What a discovery! Sometimes you read a book, other times you discover an author... I am hooked on MANY of his songs
Who is this guy? He is pretty fucking mind blowing.
He's a singer songwriter from Scotland, the greatest musician of my generation imo, absolutely amazing artistry in his work.
@@melinda82 Really, is he the guy who sang the Candy?
@@avbhinaya Yes, he wrote and sang Candy and many other beautiful songs.
All the talent in the world and a tanker full of passion
OMG how I love this man! The first time I heard him I thought he must be an old blues singer, got on RUclips and bam this beautiful Scottish man singing these amazing songs! He is truly a musical treasure for the world!

Thought he was an old blues singer too !
Such a passionate beautiful singer bringing amazing emotions to all who listen, unique in his own way! So loved by many I am sure!
One of the best ever
first I thought, oh, another Rod Stewart, then, after first few seconds, a was amazed!!!! This performance sets new standards for interpretation of this song.
Damn I expected to hate any messing about with this favourite of mine but he slayed it !
So I've listened to many versions of I'd rather go blind and this is best versions by far 🧡
He's so fab 🏴💙🏴💙🏴💙🏴
Paolo is my spirit animal.
Laurie Corsi A PaoLlama Nutini? 😋
Don’t ever change Paolo. Never.
He’s got some serious soul!
He's the bests Soul man and band❤❤❤
Speechless, so speechless didn't even want to leave a comment
Nice
