Mint Condition - Love's Holiday (EWF Cover)

[@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!!

[@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!

[@lennylenz]

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

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!!

[@Mistyblu4U]

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

[@EarthWindandFirepower0990]

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

[@DennisWilsonAhot16with]

There isn't a band today that could perform that opening harmony-wise. Just amazing.....

[@obgduccestrong6436]

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

[@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.

[@lele19691]

Stokley...Totally Killed it!....Props to the female BV too! X

[@Mr.Cherry2u]

marie white that's Ann nesby daughter and the mother of American idol Paris Bennett

[@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!

[@carra324]

Excellent information on this talented lady, thank you!

[@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

[@emanuscriptgraphics]

Damn they covered the hell out of this!

[@augustlioness3922]

The truth!!!

[@cyrilenny]

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

[@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...

[@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 🙏🏾

[@bigblaqq21]

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

[@MsButterfly031277]

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

[@HomeCentsWithNell]

I saw them live recently. All I can say is WHAT A SHOW! They were absolutely fantastic.

[@crystalgosha1289]

wondermom07 amazing yes yes he knows how to put a show down I love him very talented as well as fine as hell I might add lol

[@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!

[@lepoetress]

#ThatdamnStokely This man can saaaaaaaaaaaang the ingredients off the back of a cereal box and that ish would be fire!!!! His vocals are beyond amazing!!!

[@kdm222]

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 !!!

[@omgimover4075]

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

[@tamekianichols686]

my feelings exactly

[@cyrilenny]

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

[@valentinepayne6464]

Listening to this January 2023 what a voice. The best singer today .

[@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.

[@dnice627]

I LOVE MINT CONDITION!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@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.

[@BrowninW1]

Tunnnnnnnnnnnnnne! ...Excellent Cover!...

[@bigtimmy7846]

Thank you Maurice White for your beautiful musicianship and the inspiration for my sound.

[@Nkogneetoe]

MC is untouchable!!

[@marlonlane4444]

This is a pretty good version. Good job gentlemen.

[@crystalmartin8540]

Has any group tried to cover EWF? My heart is feeling the love & all the SATISFACTION from all!!!

[@amd77j]

A GREAT band paying homage to the legendary Earth, Wind, and Fire. I love it. Thanks for posting!!!

[@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!
