~Tapping into Your Potential Where Others Saw None~

[@cavamom]

When Home Free does a cover, it’s almost always an upgrade. Their music can make you laugh, make you cry, make you think, warm your heart, but what ever the music is, Home Free will make you “feel” it.

[@dm40]

Percy Sledge would be PROUD to hear his song treated so well!!

[@jasonregister3494]

You gonna mess around in this homefree rabbit hole and hit their song how great thou art. I really want to see your face for that one😂😂😳😂😂

[@greeneyelove2003]

Personally, I think this is the best version of this song I have ever heard. It tops Percy and Michael Bolton and Bolton is damn good. But Austin? He takes it to another level.

[@louisetemples7011]

Yes indeed!

[@cjsjr249]

I totally agree!

[@Befree898]

Nope.

[@JeffreyCrisp]

HF doesn't do covers... They do UPGRADES!!! 😛😀

[@rollanrand]

@I'm your Huckleberry , I was either 17 or 18 years old when Percy Sledge released this song in 1966....sound quality was nowhere near as good as today. I became an instant Percy Sledge fan. Do I love they have put such an exciting spin on the old song, of course. But to say it tops what Percy did is not fair. Two different era's and multiple voices with superior sound today....I love this but I loved Percy's rendition for the day it was played in.

[@e.l.mcguire7464]

Trying to get your attention so I’m going to repeat myself. BUTTS REMIX. BUTTS REMIX. BUTTS REMIX!! You’ve seen how great they are! BUTTS REMIX is great musically, but shows how humorous they are also!!

[@Peter-oh3hc]

This is stunning. Percy's version is stunning. They are different. Don't think one needs to be "better"

[@alisakibler7538]

And to add to that check out John Berry version. Awesome as well!

[@karenking5357]

Percy Sledge Michael Bolton Humphrey they're not exact same thing so they all have their own style but I think they all have incredible quality and gut-wrenching emotion but yeah Percy I think wins on the emotion

[@Amber-mv8wz]

Several artists have covered this song over the years but the original was recorded by Motown artist Percy Sledge. Here's a link to him Percy Sledge - When A Man Loves A Woman (Live) - KZbin. One of the reasons people love this group so much is their sense of humor so maybe it's time for you to see some of that. I'd suggest Country Fried Pop Medley, the Butts Medley, or It's All About The Bass. They have a bit of fun with all of those. So glad you've found Home Free.

[@shirleymongold9491]

Maybe their cover of Hillbilly Bone too.

[@j.d.f.6281]

Percy Sledge was not Motown he was Muscle Shoals. Stax was Memphis, Motown Detroit, and Muscle Shoals Alabama.

[@allenwitbeck6804]

Definitely (please!) check out the Butts Medley (remix), Hillbilly Bone, and Thinking Out Loud / Let's Get it on (my favorite from a video aspect-the whole song in one take) .

[@belinda9696]

I'm not sure who wrote it, but Percy Sledge was the famous singer who brought it to life, then Michael Bolton picked it up in 1991 and did his amazing cover of it, but I think Home Free outdid Michael Bolton in my opinion.

[@lewisgriffin9684]

They did not do Michael Bolton their version of just unique because of the Bebop and it was written by Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright

Home Free never misses on a song. Do you hear what I hear will blow you away. Thanks for your time and energy.

[@cjsjr249]

I agree, their cover and arrangement of Do You Hear What I Hear is incredible!!

[@TheLadyDraconus]

Adam Rupp did that arrangement. It’s incredible for sure.

[@GaiaOne]

The best arrangement of this carol on the planet.

[@TheLadyDraconus]

@@GaiaOne the video is stunning. Chris Rupp (founder and former member of Home Free) did a reaction to this video and does some behind the scenes stuff on his channel. Good stuff.

[@rilesuturn]

He is actually singing to his wife and you can tell the love he has for her with the emotions of his eyes. 🥰

It was his girlfriend, and she was the only one in the studio with him while he was recording this.

Maaaaaannnnnnn, Homefree doing a cover of ring of fire please!!!! The last note tho!

[@tchampagne1494]

Home Free did a beautiful tribute to Percy Sledge's version. Austin sang the song the same way Percy sang it.

[@jolenewitzel7919]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@teniahayzlett5988]

This group kept most of us sane during quarantine, putting out new content at least every other week. They even did a new song named "Quarantine."

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Home Free has a way of covering a song, taking it, and making it their own. With absolutely no disrespect against the original performer(s).

[@joywright8794]

I am still in love with Sir Percy's rendition, but I am in awe of Home Free's cover. It's like putting a cherry on top of a Hot Fudge Sunday, all you can say is yeaaaaaah!

[@richarddaugherty8583]

If you haven't heard Austin sing Bring Him Home (from Les Misérables) you really need to! I was in tears at the end of the song. It's positively angelic and powerful! It's on his solo channel.

[@scottdonohue3379]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You can throw darts blind folded in the dark to pick a song from Home Free and you are guaranteed to land on pure gold. They are absolutely incredible. You should check out their covers of God Bless The Broken Road or Go Rest High On That Mountain or if you want a song that shows off their comedic side as well as their musical range you should check out the Butts medley/ Butts remix. It is ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!

[@mikebeasley6447]

WHAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT HOME FREE IS THAT THEY ARE SO HUMBLE EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@odinspromise]

Mr. Sledge is tearing up in Heaven! This is the "REAL THANG!!"

[@debbiehall9091]

Austin's voice is so amazing and he puts all his emotions in what he sings. This group is amazing

[@cajunchef35]

They really did this song right. I watched Percy Slege perform this song many times over the years, as we are from the same area, may he rest in peace.

[@jimmywallace9639]

Percy Sledge first. Michael Bolton has done it also

[@larrywright4539]

They released this while under quarantine. All were in different locations, which makes this even more amazing. Austin was singing to his girlfriend who was on stage but out of sight.

[@debbiecrawford7925]

We knew you would appreciate this one. Home Free has killed everything they have done. Great reaction

[@brendagrothier967]

All the members of Home Free are very talented as individuals.

[@wilshade]

I'm going to stand by my request from earlier posts. Sometime between now and Christmas, I STRONGLY recommend "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem". It features Home Free's LIVE (recorded live last year) collaboration with their musical predecessors and mentors, the Oak Ridge Boys. Jeffery East is also there and introduces the song with an inviting and reverent solo. When the Oaks and Home Free join in, the sheer POWER is damn near overwhelming. Even with headphones, you can literally FEEL this song body AND soul.

[@momD612]

Absolutely!! So beautiful 😍

[@jackmanlove3128]

[@kevinwillard6652]

Home Free is my favorite a-capella group period. There are others I like a lot, but they step outside of their comfort area (country) all the time and SLAY it......just like this tune.

[@saleemahelrazor823]

While I love this version, Percy Sledge won my heart on it eons ago. I do like the more modern twist that Home Free gives this song [ they damn sure did it justice] Percy is classic, clean, and soulful as well. Different, but as good in their own ways. Please give the original a listen. You won't regret it.

[@kestrelle5345]
