Just Incredible! ERIC CLAPTON and KATIE KISSOON - Wonderful tonight LIVE REACTION

[@danielolson5378]

Katie Kissoon has been supporting Clapton many times over the years and has often been seen as a back-up singer for major British musical events. There's one word for this version EPIC!!

[@rayj1011]

I saw her last night with Clapton. Great concert

[@JK_Clarke]

Wow .. Katie Kissoon adds a wonderful fourth verse without using words ...

[@davidbentley145]

Thanks Harri...Erics backup singers have phenomenal abilities too...Katie Kissoon has been around forever and as you can see she can really belt it out too...

[@surlechapeau]

I remember Katie Kissoon from Eric's MTV Unplugged performance. Just wonderful.

[@jamesshires6805]

She took this song to a whole new level!

[@timhmetal3499]

I saw Clapton in the early 90's just before his unplugged. It's like seeing Pink Floyd, you leave the concert a different person. The music changes you, you're more than when you walked in, there's something inside your soul that makes you more than the sum of the parts you walked in with. Glimpses of genius from a world I can only look at in amazement and appreciation.

[@michaelmygind5061]

Best version of that song! ❤❤❤

[@lightningstrikes7314]

You're right about Clapton's voice, he probably possesses the best guitar/voice combination in rock. The final note Katie K hit was killer and set up Clapton's solo perfectly. She's also a natural beauty, a real stunner.

[@antoniog.z.4372]

I agree with you. It surprises me that Katie Kisoon isn’t better known.

[@wgdavis5353]

This is a Great Version of Mr. Eric's Song.. ♠W.G.

[@sallydorsey1851]

When Eric Bowes to you whoa

[@gioconda43]

I agree. I have always liked his voice.

[@John_Chu]

Thanks Harri for persevering and finding another iteration of the video. Hope all your besties enjoy!

[@davebzen795]

John, a sterling submission if there ever was one. I have an extensive Clapton collection dating all the way back to The Yardbirds. I don't know where this concert took place but I saw this supporting collection of great artists at one of the concerts that I attended. That's two gems in a row for you.....Thunderclap Newman being the other. Nicely played!

[@alexandersiwek2402]

Eric Clapton and Katie Kisson is a universal event

[@MaddyN999]

Beautiful version and yes he has a fantastic voice that is underrated due to his lengendary guitar work ❤. Can’t help but mention the extraordinary backup singers he’s always worked with due to his stature!

[@vickilee7494]

Thanks HARI I will not go through a day without Eric.

[@davebzen795]

Harri, you chose a great performance, one of my favorites. I assure you that Eric has a terrific voice and I will submit a few examples.

[@jamestaylor2920]

I Shot the Sheriff, Layla, After Midnight, Lay Down Sally, Change the World, Bell Bottom Blues, Tears in Heaven, ... Yes, Eric Clapton can sing. If he wasn't one of the best guitar players in history we would all be saying, "that amazing singer Eric Clapton, he can sure play a mean guitar!" He has lent his considerable artistic talents to so many of the most influential bands.

[@EladLending]

Eric Clapton is, perhaps, a seriously underrated singer, but he has a credible GOAT claim in the blues-rock guitar category! Katie Kissoon's scat on this cut are the best I've ever heard.

[@jimb2692]

Takes u to a whole other world. Just beautiful ❤

[@ochjim]

Katie Kissoon, now 72 years young, recently toured with Roger Waters and last month - september 2023 - was backing Clapton again. Fabulous vocalist.

[@peterkapottos9275]

Loved Katie for years with the great Van Morrison

[@ScatManAust]

Have a listen to Katie on Roger Waters In the flesh album when playing the track MOTHER. Very powerful voice, simply stunning.

[@turkeeg7644]

She also did incredible work with Van Morrison. Was part of the best band he ever assembled. Check out Troubadours at Capitol Theater 1979. She shines.

[@stevenstyles7602]

Harry Clapton is British pop royalty, he has suffered with personal tragedies.

[@sallydorsey1851]

Best song

[@rk41gator]

Such a CLASSIC love song. One of the very best. And you found one of his best versions. Nathan West on guitar (played with a lot of big names including Phil Collins). Katie shows off her remarkable range and soulfulness so effortlessly! Fabulous. fabulous. fabulous.

[@markhaus2830]

Nathan East!

[@dwhite849]

Eric has never had a problem sharing the stage

[@patrickgallaghersr3704]

That’s not screeching darling sweet maggiemay…that is class…as much as a 17lbs bass! Nothing else unless beautiful human vocal cords! HarriBest KOKO my brother!

[@Sheliahhh69]

Love your reaction channel! Keep em' coming! ❤❤

[@barrydraper]

Great reaction! And yes, this is the best version of this song.

[@slowhand5160t]

try tearing us apart eric and katie on that one live 1991 harry

[@fredmarinovich5477]

He also does incredible version of over the rainbow. Give it a try

[@chrissneyd9278]

Excellent

[@pablolazaromartinez3541]

Great performance! With these two you cant fail !! But I like much better the 24nights versions...

[@garyarnett1220]

One of about a dozen songs written to / about Patti Boyd (Erics ex)

[@phonebone81]

I think we're not talking about his good singing because -> Clapton is god and then we assume that ;-)) Just kidding, you're right, Clapton can sing too and his voice suits his guitar style 100%. Best wishes @all from Hamburg (Germany)

[@dwhite849]

Here Clapton shows you don't have to play fast or hard to hit your soul./ Every guitar note smacks hard

[@sallydorsey1851]

WHERE DID THIS GO

[@stephenqualtrough7322]

Anyone remember Mac And Karie Kisson song Sugar Candy Kisses a 1975 hit ? I was a fan

[@John_Chu]

That one I'm not familiar with but their first hit single, "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" does ring a bell. They were a brother-sister duo from Trinidad (emigrated to UK in 1962). What kills me is that Katie is 48 years old in this video! Live at Madison Square Garden, NYC, 1999. She looks better than she did 25 years before.

[@stephenqualtrough7322]

@@John_Chu sugar Cabdy Kisses was number 3 in early 1975. I am sure they were on Top of the Pops . I have posted it in the comments if anyone is interested. I went to see Roger Watets a while ago and Ms Kissoon was doing backing vocals: I noted

[@NathanVeenstra]

Or “Love Will Keep Us Together”.

[@John_Chu]

@@stephenqualtrough7322 I'm a yank so that was the only single that charted in the U.S. As Nathan notes below, they were the first to cover Sedaka's "Love Will Keep Us Together" but I didn't discover that until years later. I assumed Captain & Tennille had the first cover version.

[@rmac8008]

She also backed Roger Waters of pink Floyd on his solo tours

[@sallydorsey1851]

HOLD ON

[@markrobinson5034]

Great version but I think the '24 Nights' at the Albert Hall is better, Katie kissoon is even better.

[@janbrierhansen8514]

O

[@maggiemay97]

Sorry. Her screeching ruins the soft, mellow song for me.

[@privateprivate4378]

Yes of course Katie Kissoon is fantastic but so was Rita Coolidge on E.C.'s first solo album. So why has he been ripping her off for the coda to Layla when he knows damn well she wrote it and had recorded it before she played it for him.
