[@ScaryPockets]

Come see us THIS SATURDAY July 2nd in St Helena, CA at Charles Krug Winery for Blue Note Summer Sessions! Tickets: bit.ly/ScaryPocketsKrug

[@IGotTheJazz]

Amazing musicians all around… but, I will say that the audio engineer doing all the recording and mixing/mastering is a monster!

[@miltonpound763]

A perfect mix.

[@OB-LA]

Mixes are always killer with Scary Pockets!

[@MrrrJD]

Caleb Parker is a beast!

[@SportyOtterPop]

Word! I had just been marvelling at the perfection of the bass level in the mix when I read this!

[@narendrasupangat7763]

Totally agree 👍🏻

[@joescartwright]

Man that drummer is an animal. Great combo with the bassist. That old harmony is rad too.

[@madelyngrant9357]

Thanks for the love everybody!!

[@EatingMachine23]

I just keep coming back to this song. Absolutely awesome. I get so nervous when classics like this get a new twisted but this was awesome on so many levels. You have a lovely voice!

[@gracie99999]

always niic to see comments of singers etc cause u forget and see and sub

[@Plantbasedworld]

Amazing job Madelyn 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@hughbarton5743]

Fantastic!!!! What a scorching performance.... More, please?

[@FractalSpace888]

You're amazing! Originally found you through your work with Emancipator so this was a fantastic surprise to see you on here.

[@ChitFromChinola]

Wow. That’s next level. Beautiful vocals. The energy from the drummer could light up New York City. And that bass solo . . . my my my . . .

[@arnephillips7591]

Yes. I absolutely love watching the drummer. It's so clear to me that he friggin loves his gig.

[@eharris3021]

Been listening to this for over a year now it still blows me away. Her interpretation of these lyrics and the silky power in her voice is just crazy good...and don't even get me started on those bass fills...WOW!

[@joshkrato]

I felt my face melting with the bass solo. Good-ness.

[@avrilkilleen1216]

Omg I just love Madeline's voice why isn't she world famous seriously??

[@debbachebachir]

Madelyn Grant you have a voice that resurrects Amy!

[@CCharlesHahn]

Unreal arranging and musicianship!! Just sick.

[@wesselmn]

The way the song holds the tension is just next level! I keep coming back to it!

[@adelmoustafa6411]

MADELYN GRANT ....YOU KILL ME WITH YOUR VOICE ...WHAT A MUSIC ...WHAT A FEELINGS .....MUSICIANS ALSO ARE GREAT .......MADLYN U MAKE MY DAY ....LOVE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[@dmccallie]

So nice to hear an actual piano! The percussive effect on the keys adds to the groove.

[@keepinini9319]

Love the pure joy on Ryan's face whenever there is a groovy bass lick 2:06

[@JochenVogel]

When I read the title, I asked myself: "Why would anybody want to do a funk cover of that song?" Now I know why. Thanks for this treat!

[@marysalvi242]

@Jochen Vogel & the others who had your same thought... ??? I immediately thought, "oh yes".

[@josephbrewster1169]

Actually, I didn't watch this video for days because I was like, "Amy Winehouse funk? That can't be right." I am glad I got bored enough to watch it.

[@drew-et1mm]

@@josephbrewster1169 Bahaha i did the same!

[@SRP1973]

Nah, Amy was amazing and underrated…. and this funk arrangement delivered.

[@cooldebt]

@@josephbrewster1169 I've done that too many times with skilled performers (eg Concierto by Jim Hall etc - 'it's supposed to be classical acoustic not jazz') - I doubt, then after a while I click and then I regret I didn't trust these guys and click sooner.

[@justicebeaver1882]

This arrangement is straight up scorched earth

[@davidgpeterson]

2:07 WHAAAAAAAAT??? Give that bass player some love!!!!

[@gracie99999]

💯 help keep me in pocket

[@geneahart5607]

Madelyn Grant has depth and soul in her voice, great voice. I could listen to this for hours. This needs to be on the radio!!!!!!!! #1

[@miltonpound763]

My favorite part of this is the perfect placement of her vocals in the mix. Sit just on top of or right in the middle without getting lost in the instrumentation. Perfection again by Pockets!! Edit: Caleb is a beast. We’re not worthy.

[@aadityachavan6836]

The whole atmosphere here is just 🤌

[@ScottBaietti]

That acoustic piano sounds amazing.

[@Bsmiley333]

Fantastic cover of Amy. That is Larry Carlton's son on the bass tearing it up. Tours with Dad doing the classic Steely Dan songs he played on. That fill at 1:23, damn that's sweet. Wicked bass solo too. Another Scary Pockets funk cover masterpiece!

[@vovcha01]

The son of the amazing Larry Carlton. Thanks for pointing that out. Well, I suppose that could account for his prowess on the bass.

[@siscoismyhomey]

Travis Carlton is a bad bad man!!

[@funkystrunk9228]

Madelyn grant is just such an amazing singer i cant quite grasp the sheer expression and control she brings out with her voice! Just Amazing!

[@samsambanana]

It's Travis on bass yesssir!!

[@eharris3021]

I love her interpretation of this song (one of my favorites from Amy W...I still miss her much). But guys, this is damn fine work and my Scary Pockets "new" favorite!!! The bass fills are unreal. The flow is...magic.

[@AndrewBakke]

Two of the best solos in Posckets songs, and yes I'm including Mononeon and Larry Goldings in that list!

[@rochaverse5140]

Already in my playlist: BEST VERSIONS OF ALL MUSICS

[@RisikoAO]

One of the best cover so far, it really have an identity of it's own. That's a really good job guys.

[@marysalvi242]

@A.O. I think this is one of Scary Pockets top funk songs - funky jazz sounding. In such a groove ~

[@vanrose9857]

Madelyn Grant always makes her amazing vocal work seem as easy as 1234. I love it. The bass work on this track is killer as well!

[@matthewlarson2161]

Still coming back for more...At the top of the Scary Pockets productions as far as I'm concerned!

[@jefframminger1420]

Awesome! Really cool to see (and hear) Travis Carlton on bass. So many killer rhythm section players on these!

[@melefth]

And there was me complaining last week... what an amazing re-invention!

[@Plantbasedworld]

Ok as a classically trained musician myself - she is just a AuhMazing! @scarypockets I hope you have her back again and again! You all are rock star musicians. Bravo 👏🏼

[@OB-LA]

Another killer cover, folks! Great arrangement, players, mix, and Madelyn’s voice is loooooovely.

[@connollytunes]

This is one of your very best and is UTTERLY ORIGINAL!!! Adore the harmony. Thank you! The piano is inspired.

[@tugce288]

Wow! Best "back to black" ever!!

[@gracie99999]

it def felt different in a sense where not easy

[@ofthenearfuture]

Definitely a contender for the GOAT... shoutout to Caleb Parker

[@geneahart5607]

This should have won a Grammy.

[@ThatsMistaTwistToYou]

Wicked version. Love that arrangement, especially the smart chords in the chorus. That guitar is so funky with the bass all the way through. Got a "Don't stop til you get enough" vibe from it!

[@VOByRobbins]

Sooooooooo well done, love Madelyn's voice on this and yes, the recording is unreal good-- perfection in my ears--- what a fantastic homage to Amy-- respectful, yet funky too---! NOICEEEEE!

[@gracie99999]

💯 sir

[@johnpickering4579]

Fits the category perfectly

[@kwilliams8440]

This was… textured. Like, I could feel it in my fingertips! It’s insane and I am so in love with everything that it is.

[@maxherron1376]

That bass run at 1:24 is hot stuff!!!

[@krackafoo6]

This is one of my favorites tracks by y’all. Can’t keep track of how many times I come back to listen to this on here or Spotify. Her vocals are amazing and fit the original and this take on it. I feel like an idiot for saying, but the pocket by all the instrumentals is so clean. Everyone is locked in.

[@EatingMachine23]

Same. So many great tracks they have done but this is one of the ones I always come back to

[@isbjrn358]

All is brilliant but tha BASS kills it all! Blown away

[@Elazarko]

I'm listening to "Such Great Highlights" and "Back To Black" on repeat! Soooooo Goood!

[@FrowinIckler]

What a drum groove !!

[@eboucher19682103]

Beautiful voice Madelyn !!

[@benlobo3821]

Now this was stunning 😍 that breakdown being led by the bass then piano was a delight! Well done, a cover worthy of your reputation 👌🏽

[@thethirdfrog]

Holy shit the bass is fire on this one.

[@WitzvomOlli]

Magic !!!!!!!!!!

[@WallaceDeGrammit]

I love every bit of this! The singing, the musicians, the flow, you guys sound so great together!!

[@michealmarshall3545]

One drop at a time honey from the comb❤

[@joshdavis1849]

Will be liking this song from every account I can get my hands on. The arrangement and musicianship are awesome and Madelyn's vocals are absolutely killer.

[@janeybakarbessy2330]

Seriously, I didn’t see the title just the few first beats were enough of knowing this is such a good cover in it’s own. Totally, Like a new song!

[@Red80008]

That's because it sounds just like "Don't stop 'til you get enough" by Michael Jackson. Any song that sounds like one of his has go to be good...

[@MasterSadd]

That bass though

[@jacobanteau6020]

that breakdown is killing

[@vladimirromero2427]

Made feel in the sky, what a magistral pperformance,Amy must be jumping of happiness there where she is, thank you so much Madelyn and those magnificent guys.

[@zellarecords6195]

Performance of the year!!!

[@trikitu]

Smashing the replay and the replay buttons

[@calistaarchambeault9572]

That piano solo!

[@jasonremy1627]

Good to see Jack back on the keys. Missed him for a few weeks!

[@dfgdfg_]

Caleb has outdone himself

[@jaimel2037]

Just discovered Madelyn today after watching this masterpiece,now I’m binging all her music 😍 great band too of course 👌

[@gracie99999]

btw great voice and obvious great great band

[@judithl1171]

Great performance; that's one helluva bass player! Love all your music. Kenton Chen is boss with the hot sauce!

[@frearnaud]

Madelyn's voice is absolutely beautiful

[@Rocniel]

The keyboard player is looking at her like “yeah let’s see if you can keep up the singing with this funky syncopation”

[@MrCarlos1335]

SHE HANDLED THAT TUNE ,GOOD JOB,WELL DONE.

[@epicmaster833]

2:19 oh that part ♥️😍

[@mikkelnielsen243]

This may be the best cover you’ve ever made! Holy shit this is good🤯

[@boscobaracus1823]

I almost didn't watch this one but the singer did a nice job and didn't over do it. Rip Amy

[@Pretendship]

the vocals are tremendous, but the bass make this cover next level

[@munnsberts]

This… is a fucking masterpiece.

[@leopoldleoleo]

First ‘Such Great Heights’ and now this?? What an excellent run of form

[@kane804]

Oh that bass and piano breakdown tho.

[@leeclements4645]

WOW the best version I ever heard well done Pockets ... What a voice

[@Fatone85]

All I want in life is to have a group of friends to play with like this.

[@ChelmoMatt]

Been a while since you’ve done anything as awesome as this. This is special stuff.👏🏼

[@catrionahayes9166]

I'm always floored by Scary Pockets but this was truly extra on every level and synergy from every part. Tear-jerking.

[@sidneym5117]

Eles se superam!! Ficam melhor a cada dia!!! Que versão incrível!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@danielboaro182]

Elite, estamos falando de elite!

[@miranda.almaguer]

I adore Amy’s music, thank you for this

[@davidgpeterson]

ANY excuse to get Madelyn Grant to sing with you guys is good with me. What a voice.

[@rickcurtis2018]

Thank you for doing this Pockets... This is the best music being made right now, I could't live without it. Madelyn you just became my favorite vocalist too this is even better than 1234...

[@popy6856]

This song make me worry but what a wonderful version of one of my favorit song. With Love.💖💖

[@rogerwilliams7234]

BEST YET!!

[@trottheblackdog]

Yes! Killer groove!

[@ryancameron9281]

this slaps!

[@BakGatTube]

By the far the best version I ever heard of this song. The groove, the sound, the feel, ... And Oh My God! That voice! What I very very very neat production. My new favorite song of SP. And one more thing: what's the chain-bell-thingie on the snares? I need that too...

[@Lenrodukgoa]

I was like, why would anyone want to do a version of Amy’s greatest hit, but that’s a risk only you guys could take, and this is amazing!

[@ca-qy3mk]

obsessed with this one 🌌💜

[@stefanotaddei3098]

Simply perfect

[@zombieprepper01]

Wow. No offense to all the other great performances, but this is the best piece SP has released recently. Bravo

[@arothmanmusic]

Once again, the Pockets drop a cover that I prefer to the original. This is baaaaallller.
