[@Brownie-956]

Here in July 2022 and learning Mess Around on piano atm and came across this. Class cover! Well done. ...Also anyone think the guy on bass looks like Will from the inbetweeners?

[@christianalexander579]

It doesn't have drums in the song no one will ever sound as good as ray Charles

[@SamBriacatu]

cool job guys :)

[@unomas17]

O.K. You guys got the gig. You can play at my wedding

[@bearmassaro]

Shit yea! This is friggin awesome!

[@boogiewoogiepapa4784]

Piano player has nice style and tone you guys ever get to Buffalo Ny Usa.

[@alejandrocardenas7104]

buen cover

[@mjtgangellove5441]

Pretty cool if the key on the piano started playing by themselves I would not be surprised if Rays Angel took over

[@MrTobi4]

You guys should definitely continue. Rockin' it. What city are you from ?

[@jimmyperkinsCHS1984]

Where are these dudes from? Good stuff!

[@ed3118]

My new favorite piano player with my favorite drummer, have you guys recorded?

[@stiler1]

good (y)

[@sirjosh9]

They forgot a person playing the saxophone, then, that would sound like Ray Charles' version.

[@xXMatt55Xx]

They're doing their own version of the song, which doesn't necessarily sound like Ray Charles' exactly. Same with John Lennon's So This is Christmas (War is Over) and people who covered it.

[@jackrevell1405]

the drummer needs to swing the rhythm, its supposed to be off the beat, one and two and three and four, plus the double time would work well here, other than that, pretty well done cover!

[@isckz]

No se le Iguala a Ray Charles pero le imprimió un estilo muy bueno.

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

Good work! But that drummer needs to be double time.

[@krevo81]

lol had to stop it the minute i heard the drums

[@davidburton2387]

Agreed!!! He's waaaaay to slow

[@jimhayes1452]

The drumming certainly makes this the "white" version of the song.

[@megafonzie5541]

Ya, the drum beat definitely suck the frenetic energy out of the piece. Plus, pop the BPM up a little...right now its just laying there.

[@builderphill1361]

@@jimhayes1452 race doesn't have to do anything with drumming, don't have to be so racist 👍

[@lynch680]

mas sentimiento falta

[@The_Sword3]

You guys are HOT ,

[@usserywea1997]

congrats to piano man jaja

[@markpezzu94]

amazing guys, I don't really like the ending but it's a mine opinion, second opinion of mine (lol) it's better if you play in E instead of Eb ray charles transposed only for make the horns play in F, for me the voice will sing better (you singing really good even in Eb anyway:))

[@adamgentile9714]

Amazing! Pero double time drumming por favor!

[@adamgentile9714]

Yes!

[@exoJZ]

[@rafaelgiovani4014]

Eisenbahn

[@Blazay804]

[@santiagorinconrocha8592]

Its missing the feeling of the song. Idk it sounds robotic. But otherwise it was a great cover.

[@92rickyfaz]

drums take the boogie woogie away

[@joshedgar7578]

Some seriously underrated KZbin musicians here. This is fantastic. Almost better than Ray.

[@cadetaylor4602]

There good but not even near Ray

[@helloVorld1212]

lolololol Better than ray charles himself?

[@jefflofino4698]

Drummer holding back ,drive the beat more

[@emiliojimenez6049]

Excelentes músicos, pero les falta más esencia.

[@LallieBurns]

This is a hate crime 🥴

[@gustavr4073]

Haha toooo white, not bad though

[@martischubi]

tried hard, didnt stand a chance to the original

[@1Netroman]

why are there allways withe volks that try to cover when they cant?

[@bizarrowxrld2089]

lmfao 😂😂😂😂

[@posteriorz2829]

First of all learn to spell. And Tf? They're great, one of the best covers in my opinion.

[@ktfavelt10]

Speak for yourself. I think this guy is fantastic

[@Rottenkirsche13]

This was eh. I didn’t buy the emotion needs more soul. Eat some grits and collard greens and then come back.

[@mikehandel]

total disgrace

[@kurtwray6529]

Boring...

[@phenosin1]

Drummer blows it here
