Cry Me A River - Vintage '50s R&B Justin Timberlake Cover ft. Von Smith

[@s1967us]

He holds that high note for 14 seconds. I would have passed out from lack of air after half that time.

[@moosekilzer8690]

I think somewhere he has a note he held out for almost(?) 30... This dude is insane

[@elieams1140]

Lol😜

[@KajiVocals]

I held it while singing this three times😎 Though it kinda hurt😂

[@naughtyadventuresofmcbrouh5410]

DAMMMN WHAT A BREATH CONTROL THIS GUY HAS

[@ScaryTaco]

YES!

[@pw00k]

RIGHT!!! he sounds like he's casually talking!! And that high notes!! Ughh!!!

[@moxymanitowabi]

So calm

[@subh1]

His body language and facial expressions are so funny, yet engrossing. Adds to the passion that he puts in the song. And definitely beautiful voice - amazing range.

[@dr.jamieanderson2073]

Agreed. Adds to the performance. I love it. What a talent.

[@lavrenzo84]

Thats why I like this guy so much !.He is so extraordinary !

[@kiobo2953]

@Pan M that's what she said... passion you know ^^

[@breeze9248]

His body language like a any black women perfomancer))

[@jlasf]

I have always been split about Von's style. Does his physical performance - face, body - distract from his voice? With Garland, her distinctive poses are an integral part of her concert performances. Streisand, on the other hand, is a very quiet physical performer; the focus is more on her voice, not on her movements. But, unfortunately, Von has not really broken through. Not on TV or KZbin hits. Why not? He clearly has the talent and the voice. Is his eccentric performing style holding him back?

[@jameseaton1286]

In Von's hands, this becomes nearly a Bond song! Amazing range and emotional expression. Julie London would be proud.

[@Matelot123]

I'm 55 and I've been all over the world and I can finally say I found my tribe. Seen them twice live now and can really say that both times I really felt part of something. Let's hear it for my tribe....PMJ!!

[@Alexander-fl8ic]

This sounds like a classic Hollywood villain revealing his plan in a musical. I love it.

[@ebtrollfan]

Bonus: his girlfriend cheats on the villain, and he gets revenge.

[@patrinaleesam5006]

So true..lol

haha noticed the same

[@jennyrahaman7485]

Doesn't even sound like the same original song. It sounds even better. Incredible! Wow!

[@ParagonBeaumont]

That was the sassiest, most beautiful singing! Also I love Mr. saxaphone's reaction faces.

[@elizabeth.1905]

This video doesn't even do adjustice to how amazing he is live ! If they're ever near your town , GOOO! Do not hesitate !! They're amazing!

[@postmodernjukebox]

Thanks for the great recommendation! Where did you see us live?

[@elizabeth.1905]

I was at the Bucharest concert in Romania !

[@swestervelt]

Ill second this. He was one of our singers in Asheville and blew the roof off the Orange Peel.

[@DPadg444]

I missed that concert in Asheville and I was so upset. Glad you got to go! :)

[@swestervelt]

The Orangel Peel was at capacity. I literally discovered PMJ a week before the show. My parents retired to Asheville, so we were going there for a trip already. It was the stars aligning. There are still GOOD tickets available for Raleigh on October 14

[@helinski7198]

his vocal control is actually cray

[@sitharasivaji]

what does cray mean?

Von Smith doesn't just SING, he GETS INTO CHARACTER! Dude..My hands off to you..you make me laugh. If ever I am in a sour mood, I know what to watch. I don't need a comedy show..I just need you..I can't stop stop watching your videos. Your vocals are phenomenal.

Out of all the male vocalists you've had, Von Smith is consistently my favourite. Keep bringing him back

[@Raiwons]

This young person, always surprises to me singing.

[@stratocaster1975ish]

When you've got it you've just got it and that's it. Every single member of the PMJ just drip in talent, its amazing that they can continually audition and recruit all these amazing performers

[@susanwheatley2644]

I completely agree, John Gibson! Every time I listen to his and the different musicians/vocalists he showcases I can’t get over how he’s able to find such talent. Actually I think must find him! I figure he must be the Miles Davis of his musical genre - people want to play in any group he puts together!

[@EliteJovenAgent]

Wow. This singer is great. He reminds me of the singer von smith!

[@postmodernjukebox]

+EliteJovenAgent ...

[@marylavender6851]

There should be a special PMJ series featuring Von. He nails it every single time! #NeedSomeVon

[@poschli99]

Von just means "Of" or "Mac" it's not his name

[@tamboxispa]

This guy has a stunning voice. He has remarkably improved the original song which I don't like but he made me love this version and I guess I'm going to spend the next few days listening to the song again and again...

[@yversorrod1529]

I love Von's smile at the beginning of this. You know he's enjoying this and looking forward to singing this.

[@curtisbeattie5571]

Brilliance, absolutely a brilliant mashup of Jazz & Rhythm and Blues. Well done Mr. Smith and of course PMJ and Scott.

[@ChrisssCrosss1982]

Saw this guy in Amsterdam last week.. This range of his? He can only hit it cause they do a million takes, right? WRONG! He hit every freaking note on stage! His live performance was pure brilliance! Go see them live if you have the chance! you won't regret it! #pmjtour

The group does all time periods and puts in the music that has the feel and gives it a little tweak. Checkout all their videos, they are all period pieces all different periods. This one is punk Chicago/New York/ New Orleans 1940s punk. All their stuff is punky.
