Mint Condition - Love's Holiday (EWF Cover)

Mint Condition covering Earth Wind and Fire's song "Love's Holiday" - It gets a little jammy towards the end, but I still think it's an amazing cover.
Performed on "The Bridge" which is a feature from AOL Black Voices.

[@rojoy2]

This is REAL R&B!!! When artists were actually musicans and played their instruments not like today where everything is done in the studio. For us who appreciated the area from the last 70's from Earth, Wind, and Fire, Midnight Starr, Gap Band, SoS Band, Skyy, Maze and others. Mint Condition was later but falls into this ELITE category. Thank you for the memories because there are no R&B groups performing today. Thanks for posting!

[@tdenoon78]

Peep how they kept changing up the key during the guitar solo at the end. These boys are incredible!!

[@Mistyblu4U]

He's not trying to imitate EWF. Artists have their own style. I appreciate that. AWESOME!

[@rthominc]

Stokley has to be the greatest and most underrated voice in R&B in the last 20 years......what an awesome talent!!!

[@ladyvann6136]

SOOO TRUE !

[@jaysecure7211]

rthominc couldn't agree more!!

[@chaykuh]

Can't hear the heavy autotune he's using here? Come on...

[@Applemylove]

FACT!

[@rtoriq]

Thank you for the troof!! Lol! Seriously tho, he has an amazing voice, crazy skatting skills, killer drumming skills & stage energy. There's definitely artists around his age bracket that they should get more recognition than!

[@EarthWindandFirepower0990]

SOMEWHERE,SOMEHOW,MAURICE IS SMILING PROUD.I JUST KNOW HE IS.

[@obgduccestrong6436]

Stokley, one of the greatest to ever hold a microphone!

[@dunha11]

Mint Condition are the best R&B group ever. That cover of Love's Holiday is awesome. If all covers was made until today, could be like this cover... More old-school singers would be happy today...

[@MsTreynatra]

LOVE Stokley's voice! It's so unique

[@mrmartywaring]

Stokl;ey Williams is 1 of the best vocalists in the game. People sleep on them

[@crystalgosha1289]

Martin Waring yes yes I love him he is sooooo talented

[@empresserica]

Yes he is! Love his everything!

[@kellysharp2858]

Rest In Piece Maurice White

[@tiernyt2051]

One of the best vocals of all times RIP Maurice..

[@JamilaV1881]

I just need y'all to understand the musicianship and the level of excellence Mint Condition resides. They modulated 5011 different times in 8 measures and I just about died. I'm talking to y'all from the other side of creation. Shiiiddd

[@Reedthisbryant2011]

I'm a "Mint Head" anything they perform is pure perfection. .

[@griffinrose2011]

In my opinion the most underrated band in the music industry. I just charge it to the game. Real talent doesn't always get it's due recognition.

[@MrsFlyChicky]

Yes, and 2 thumbs up in 2020!!

[@lennylenz]

Stokley is not only a Great singer he is just as good a percussionist!!!

AMZING COVER of one of the best SONGS EVER… and one of the best artists EVER. He at least wasn’t trying to lip sync it like so many others have done …. BRAVO BROTHER !!!

First of all, I just love, love, love Mint Condition. And as far as the end when they take one of my favorite classic songs into that pocket....OMG! WHOA! I was just grooving in my own world...

[@MsButterfly031277]

Not many can touch EWF but they did it! Love these guys

[@bigblaqq21]

Mint Condition is probably the best BAND of my generation...this is an amazing covet..

[@chelu924]

My favorite band does it again :-) LOVE IT!!!!!

[@omgimover4075]

How ironic EWF is my favorite old school band! Next in line is Mint Condition! Icing on the cake!

[@tamekianichols686]

my feelings exactly

[@William_sJazzLoft]

That's great that Mint Condition included some EW&F in their repertoire. They definitely did the Love's Holiday tune justice and then some.

[@emanuscriptgraphics]

Damn they covered the hell out of this!

[@augustlioness3922]

The truth!!!

[@ANTHONYPRESTON]

DAMN! There is no replacing Maurice but M.C. did this justice! I always thought of M.C. as the next generation of EWF (minus the horns) :-) Great remake!

[@BahamaLatte]

This cover is THE BOMB! Mint Condition you do justice to this song ! WOW!!

[@cyrilenny]

LIVE ladies & gentlemen!!!!!stokley' s voice is one of da best actually!!!!!!

[@michaledavissr.4661]

They even changed tempo @4:06 like EWF REALLY IMPRESSED the average listener wouldn't notice or care . I love EWF but I think it's time we give give MC their due . They are not EWF little brother . They are their own brand (band),nuff said.

[@eltonfisher6267]

+Michale Davis Sr. True indeed

[@tonyhouston9388]

You're right. They put their spin on it and took it up a half step.

[@robinhawkins5861]

Yes.. They did change the key.. I love this!! We need music like this again! True R&B.. Awesome! ❤

[@Talis.Girard]

Changed key not tempo.

[@anthonys1959]

This is a Celebration to Earth Wind and Fire. MC did a wonderful performance on this. Nicely done!

[@cyrilenny]

i m 40 years...i listen funky music since "1999" prince s album....with Phil Bayley this singer is da best i heard!

[@dwaynerandolph3565]

I’m years late on giving my take on this rendition of my favorite song of all time, LOVE’S HOLIDAY. Mint Condition is my favorite R&B Group. These guys killed it ! Hats off to you Stokely & RIP Maurice white 🙏🏾

[@jonathanboudreaux2789]

Best band of 'my" generation! #70s kid The elements (Earth, Wind & Fire) great, Mint Condition took the baton and ran with it. If only Tony, Toni, Tone had stayed together we could have had a serious rivalry.

[@msgonzo10]

@Taurusingr And the congregation said AMEN! I thought the same thing - I love, love. love MC - they have been holding it down for REAL music since the 90s and still going strong! LOVE IT!

[@jaimecoline]

I love this version of Love... by EWF...

THAT'S RESPECT TO YOUR ELEDRS

[@ladyvann6136]

[@gowidenow]

rich black voices...beautiful. Love from new zealand and samoa!

[@Larrymh07]

You guys have guts! A rough song to cover, and by Earth, Wind & Fire yet! But you guys pulled it off. Bravo!

[@LysetteOne]

Paying respect to the Masters. Great job on this. Mint Condition was the real deal. Wish we still had bands like this around.

[@alusainc1]

The lady is Ann Nesby's daughter. Saw them in Columbia, MD at the Columbia Jazz Fest and they are always a phenomenal group. Love them! True talents who can sing AND play at least two instruments. They all write the words to their songs too. GETTING PAID....and deservedly so. (Ann Nesby used to be with Sounds of Blackness and her daughter in this video has a POWERFUL voice. She is quite the singer).

[@heartstrings110]

She’s great!

[@stevie324]

Excellent information on this talented lady, thank you!

[@MrElMatic1]

[@tiernyt2051]

I was here for EWF when they were hot,hot, hot at the beginning and I am blessed to be here for MC, hot, hot ,hot good job guys,, but I really miss these guys from EWF..

[@SuperBass1964]

Nobody will ever surpass the EW&F original... But this is a nice cover. Check out the Norman Brown instrumental cover... Sick!

[@oRuTRa45]

Norman Brown's cover is a great one. One of the greatest of any EWF covers in existence. One thing though: I think one of the things that makes Norman's cover work so well is that he actually had Verdine White and Al McKay playing on it. So there's that lol.

Anyone know the background singer's name? The quality of her voice paired with Stokley is unreal.

[@da1chefswife]

I'm usually against any remakes of classic songs, but I have to say that this performance was really good. I like it
