I’m an old guy, and I lived through the ‘68 race riots in Detroit. This song had me crying the first time I heard it. I still get teary-eyed. One of my heroes growing up was MLK Jr.

I can't say how many reaction channels that I watched by rap fans that do this song, and the look on their face when they realize this is the original source for something that they know already. Some are astonished to learn that the version they enjoyed for years was not from that artist.

I think the piano must be one of the purest musical instruments you can ever learn to play. Bruce Hornsby's skills on it are sublime, I imagine that most people who have heard this song could easily sit and listen to the instrumental version without feeling like they were missing out in a big way.

One of the best Pianists of those times. I dont understand why he was and is so under rated. Bruce Hornsby deserves a lot of accolades. the song alone speaks for itself, The lyrics are powerful and so was his piano playing!

Rappers are well known for sampling other artist's work but Bruce's og version is on a different level entirely with the piano solo and the social commentary of the song is still (sadly) as relevant today as it was 38 yrs ago when this song was released. Bruce also has a great sense of humour, as I have seen him on a clip in concert announce that the next song he is going to play is by Tupac!

Bruce Hornsby is a GREAT Human Being. Seen him many, many times with his band, The Range, and also when he opened for, and later played with the Grateful Dead. He is a native of Williamsburg, Va., and an alum of William and Mary College, so he is also very wise to the ways of the world, and talented. And he is my favorite person in Rock and Roll.

The piano riff was in my mind for years, but I didn't know who it was until someone reacted to it. It was good to finally hear it again, especially when I read the lyrics. In 2Pac's song "Changes," he samples this song. I read a bit about it after the reaction I mentioned, and apparently, Bruce Hornsby, thought it was well done.

@rubroken 3 ай бұрын

I had never heard Tupac's cover, and most reactors knew this song from Tupac, so after one reaction, I listened to Tupac's cover, and I loved it. A different atmosphere(?), but so well done! I'm not a fan of rap, but I'm a fan of Tupac's take on this song

@monchorga 3 ай бұрын

@andreshernandez1180 that's the same thing I say word for word regarding rappers. They take a real musician and song writer's songs and rip them off, then make money off of someone else's creativity. Don't acknowledge or give the original artist credit for the songs they wrote and performed. Misleading the younger generation into believing the song was their creation. When they hear the song by the original artists, they seem to be in shock that it was a copy from a real musician, playing real musical instruments. I love the way Bruce plays the piano, I could listen to him play all day. Great song, I remember hearing it for the first time when it was released.

It’s been a minute since you’ve checked out a Grateful Dead video, and this is the perfect opportunity. Bruce Hornsby was an on and off member of the band in the 90s. Here is a rippin China Cat Sunflower > I know you rider from New York 9/20/90, complete with an incredible Hornsby solo. The video is the whole show, but it is tracked.

In truth, when you hear the song for the first time, even Tupac's (ripped off) version, why would you think a black rapper wrote that? It is so untypical, say, for a certain group of musicians, it is uncanny.

I've liked this song since the 80s and didn't know Tupac did a sample until hearing it from these reactors (more than a sample, actually, rather an _homage)_ Weird, isn't it?
