Old school Dirty Loops cover videos? In black and white??? YES PLEASE!!

[@wolfgangfahr5419]

Another world, the harmonic progressions are overwhelming as the drums, as the bass. Wild, wild, wild. A pure delight.

[@denniswoodbury8599]

Who would have ever guessed that guys from Sweden would continue to carry the the torch for rhythm, funk, soul, and groove? I love being here for it.❤

[@brianmi40]

Check out Valeriy Stepanov, and you'll wonder if funk originated in RUSSIA.... he arguably has the most technical and funky right hand on the planet...

[@csharp57]

While I love Dirty Loops work, let’s not get carried away with the carry the torch stuff. This is a nice cover and that’s all it is… Imitation.

[@jojothetasmaniansassmonkey8866]

…it’s a cover.

[@vindalooshaker]

@@csharp57 the song being a cover doesn't discredit its merit or the band. all of their covers are rearranged and essentially their own versions.

It still is!

[@philipshort7491]

Well, what can you say. Masterclass and magical credits. Made us dirty loops fans very proud ❤.

[@pablomartinezolmos989]

I love this bass lines!!!

[@tokskallez]

Rest in Peace, Quincy, Jones - hope you hear & can go on enjoy listening to these guys in heaven❤

[@keyboardtek]

The drummer just keeps getting better and better!

[@mekkakat]

This dude's headroom voice is insane... the notes he can hit without falsetto is bananas

[@regdagreat]

One of my favorite Stevie songs and dirty loops are 🔥🔥🔥🔥 as usual

[@mjukiz]

I’m so happy right now. B/W studio version cover with everyone just having a lot of fun, showing off their skills in perfect harmony (pun intended). Does not get any better than this.

[@LMNADE]

4:55 you guys have the best credits 😂 I live for these, I will in fact be wishing Henrik a happy birthday next year

[@viniciuscollaco]

OMG, I didn't notice this gem !!!

[@ubermusli]

Bringing it home with some classic Dirty Loops! This is more than just enough, it's just what we needed!

[@Scra2zyBass]

I really appreciate the more minimalistic approach to Henrik's solo this time! Seeing crazy chops may be fun and impressive, but there’s no replacement for groove. Nicely done, guys!

[@pcbeachouse]

Exceptional musicians cranking out blazing sounds with perfection! Fast, tight, and smooth as butter…. So grateful for you three geniuses! ❤

[@Dabro1010]

I hope Mr Stevie gets to hear this, he would be proud 👌🎶

[@raysun2be]

Most excellent! Reminds me of the early days that got me hooked on Dirty Loops!

[@janasorensen2556]

Agreed. The last 2 originals they released didn't do much for me...

[@ellenstergaardgravesen1011]

I've listened to this song multiple times since it came out on Bandcamp - and still discovers so many new treats for the ear. Great video - and I'm ready for Henriks birthday celebration (don't worry Henrik I'm 45 still alive and breathing - great things still to come!). P.S.: as a Dane I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of Danes in the credits...

[@travholt]

To try and write it all down -it wouldn’t fit onto a WHOLE ROLL of toilet paper 🤣😂🤣😂 Henrik’s in his solo here -he once called himself a ‘fake’ jazz player but man, what do you call this stuff then?? 💥🧡💥 Impressive list of CGIs too ☺️ And Happy Awesome 40th Bparty Henrik - it sounds like something not to be missed!!!, (especially the German snails 🕷🦇🕸 and the Slap Bass Karaoke 🎉🎉🎉 ;) ;) oh my god, these dudes 🫶🫶🫶

[@romanpryce3999]

Great re-harmonization & great performance as expected! These guys are all virtuoso grade musicians in their prime so I would expect nothing less. As a pre boomer male from Chicago I remember when this song was 1st released. Although I was fortunate enough not to live it some of my friends weren't so lucky so I witnessed this deprivation on a daily basis in my youth. That's why I'm surprised that they sanitised this song by leaving out one of the most powerful and potent verses in the song. For me this reflects a lack of integrity on the part of everyone connected to the production including Stevie Wonder who must have had final approval. This song is a mini documentary of the conditions then and rapidly returning now! It's a song of protest to be heard and acted upon, not some happy little ditty! One of the 1st of its kind! For me this could have been killer if they would have fully embraced the gravity of the original work! I would implore all to re-visit the original work. That said it's still not too bad Ha Ha!

[@sameochannel7637]

THIS is what it takes to put a great big smile on my face!!! Love you guys!! Ni räddar mig från viterdepressionen, FAAAAN va bra ni är!!!!
