Hummingbird - You Can't Hide Love

[@pi4630]

GTA IV sent me here. The solo is awesome. Great, great music!

[@BymanIt]

Earth Wind and Fire COVER ;-)

[@serious_cheese]

Same

[@LOM1911]

I used to play this song with a band back in the late 70's. As the keyboardist, I absolutely loved playing this song! Back in those days I used a Fender Rhodes and a Minimoog. I also dialed up a pretty convincing flute sound on the Minimoog to play over the top of the second verse. Of course the EWF version is also great but since we didn't have horns, this version was a lot easier for us to cover and the crowd always loved it.

[@AB-vh7tw]

You know what? Basically this is a damn good song no matter who sings it.

[@ansomble28]

I love the Earth Wind and Fire version but there is no denying this upbeat, funked up version. Loves it.

[@edgardomingos4341]

Com certeza, esta é a melhor versão!

[@tactictoe]

Don't think I'll ever tire of this song.

[@chuckt9us]

I've grown up on EWF, maybe my all-time favorite band. But this version makes me get the "stank face". This groove... Damn!

[@leavenworthcj1493]

What a solo! Brings a smile every time... love this song. Have to say that Rockstar brought me here.

[@Odawg96]

I've been listening to this over and over since yesterday. I just realized that they actually COMBINED elements of EWF's version and Creative Source's ORIGINAL version. Overall this version is based on EWF's version, but on the chorus these guys go with Creative Source's vocal and rhythm arrangements. So THIS song, represents the best of both versions and Hummingbird's own GREAT embellishments.

[@chriscolazo2689]

Thank you so much for this!! I didn't realize EWF's version was a cover-- I knew that Jaye P Morgan's version was a cover, but I guess I need to listen to Creative Source next!!

[@johnhoward650]

They actually did a wonderful job with this song. I remember when I first heard it on GTA.

[@tactictoe]

I was driving in the game and pulled over! It's so good.

[@m1garandisthebest]

Did you not think they could? It's Bernard Purdie on drums hahah

[@15chipshops]

Bob Tench, what a voice... incredibly underrated. Top Tune, Top Band!!!

[@BlasianChineseBoy]

IF 99 was my favorite station on GTA IV. Loved crusing down the highway with this song on.

[@Yungtacosss]

Best version of this song imo

[@ADNOMADA]

i love creative source version too

[@MrIrrepressible]

@@ADNOMADA honestly both are fantastic, It would be a hard choice to choose between the two. The Hodge, James and Smith version is superb also and I have to mention the Perry and Sanlin version too.

[@someguy9070]

I agree Vink 420, this version is #1 followed by the Earth Wind and Fire version

[@Astroxtl]

I can't stop playing this song

[@alejandroherrera7965]

those horns arrangements sounds incredible

[@faurkbeans]

That first 23 seconds is pure funk.

[@pretorious700]

Bernard "Pretty" Purdie.....one of the best soul drummers EVER.

[@snake1charmer]

Powerful ! IF99 made me love funk much more ! Hidden gem.

[@lucaraffa3390]

Number one in gta 4

[@菊地洋彦]

This keyboard solo is really cool and technical, why is it so great

[@seanvasquez7974]

I was born in 1976, into the world when it was still laid back. This is some smooth s***. I wish i could go back in time, get in a 1976 Chevrolet Nova or something, listen to this on the 8-track, as i just drive around with the windows down.

[@RafaelGonzalez-fs5cn]

Many good memories of GTA IV

[@Mfor17Gaming]

Couldn't find this song anywhere.. thanks for posting!

[@Odawg96]

Wow...I'd never heard this before and I consider myself a funk/soul aficionad, but my brother came home with GTA IV over the weekend. Man, that series has turned me on to some GREAT music over the years. THIS is the lates. As much as I love EWF, this guys actually improved on this song. Never mind that the guitarist is laying down on hell of an Al Mckay-esque piece of work. EWFs version is to sparse instrtumentally speaking; this actually sounds what you would expect more from EWF.

[@jeffreyes9688]

Great song Bob tench what a fantastic voice I wish I had his voice

[@nighttime85]

i swear i shoulda been born in the 70's!!!!!!!

[@MrIrrepressible]

I hear you bro. Music from this period is just so much more beautiful

[@gunnergreg]

I owe you so much Rockstar, tanx 4 bringing me here !

[@highfidebbity]

31 Oct 2023. Still one of my fave. Funky. Groovy. Love Hummingbird. Can’t track them on Spotify. Anyone?

[@nickolai420]

Nope, not even on SoundCloud

[@241mrmark]

That looks lika a pic of Clive Chaman on Bass. Just checked and it is. Seen him and met him - what a great bass player.

[@grantleymarkland9732]

Managed to get my hands on this cd via eBay , it's a pretty good album and this track is my favourite version of this song although I do like some off to the others I've heard , EWF , Art Webb , Creative Source , Najee, Carmen McRae and Dionne Warwick . I think the keyboard player in the middle picture should sue Javier Bardem for using this look in No Country For Old Men .

[@everybodycallsmegiorgio1947]

I thought he WAS Javier Bardem

[@catgami646]

It is also on John Tropea's Short Trip To Space - was written originally for Creative Source by Skip Scarborough I think

[@redmed10]

We all looked like that in 70s. Zero dollars spent on haircuts.

[@rateoneturn]

Great music, thanks for sharing!

[@TomatoMayhem]

Perfectly constructed song!

[@conanliquid]

Excellent version of this timeless classic

[@lambda494]

I like how this is a blend of the Creative Source and EWF version.

[@ISCMfoundation]

Nice funky version… it keeps capturing me.

[@WillieB206]

Earth wind and fire. This version is funky though.

[@rayvision6383]

Nice one!!!!

[@rayvision6383]

Yea it is

[@hajikiya]

I placed your video in my blog. Thank you very much.

[@benjwah]

The groov-o-meter on this track is in the red. Earth Wind and Fire are a great great band, but their version of this track isn't nearly as moving (in my opinion! Yours might be different and that's fine too). This track literally has the power to change my outlook on a day or life in general.

[@HuggumsMcgehee]

I had no idea this existed. I like EWF's better but this is really good. I'm glad I found it.

You probably dismissed or ignored IF 99, and you missed some great music. Serves you right.

Very great ( and very funky ) version.

Never thought i would hear a cover of an EWF tune that rivaled the original.

It's a song by Creative Source EWF was a cover a damn good one mind lol

GTA Race - Stars in their eyes - 8 laps - driving a bus the wrong way round the track. Ah the laughs I had on that game.

Fairplay on still uploading all the same, despite knowing that. Ive noticed videos seem to be pulled a lot quicker nowadays since Mr. Rupert Murdoch bought youtube. Cheers buddy! Cuz we want to make millions uploading static music vids!!! I gave up in the end...

Probably just vinyl or cd

[@adrianraga88]

since min 2:24 to the end--->MAGIC

[@allseeingi]

Brilliant version of a classic song, yes I like EWF's however Art Webb with Twatha Agee's was also a great version. Dionne Warwick's live version is also great and Carmen McRae's is different yet very potent due the it's arrangement. Najee's instrumental is also worth a listen but for pure summer day funkiness Hummingbird and Creative Force win it for me. I wonder what Patti Austin could do with this song?

[@carlover1816]

Not a bad thing to play in the background of a cop chase.

[@ElDuderino974]

Who's the guy on top left? Bernard Purdie?

[@satchelm0uth]

yup, its old pretty purdie. it sounds like he is lead singer on this track too, which strikes me as the first time Ive ever heard him sing!
