Any plans to come to Texas?

[@kenlangley2460]

At 64, and having had a lifetime of music...once a singer, still an acoustic guitar player, and bass player: Nights in White Satin is one of my very favorite all-time songs. So...that cover, bass and guitar and two amazing voices...is one of the best covers I've ever heard. I thank you from my very depths.

[@Tracker49]

You can still have your own cover Sir, sure you still can!🎉

[@randyindvik1171]

I feel the same, probably the best version I have heard of this song. I'm 63 and remember how great was the original version. Hard to improve on perfection.

[@TheLifeTerm]

I’m also 64, and I fully agree with you.👍🏻

[@ΝικόλαοςΒραζιωτης]

Fantastic cover guys, you gave us the cold sweats.....

[@davejmw]

Are you freaking kidding me with that vocal solo!???!!!? Incredible.

[@jaynietee000]

It’s just so breathtakingly surreal. Mike and Sterling can transport you to another dimension. ❤🎸🎼 True talent. Lucky it’s here forever so we can appreciate it, ✌

[@Mojohead20]

You know it’s quality when you can’t take your eyes off the guy on the left when Mike is smashing it as always

[@KimPatts]

Sterling, dude! You are hitting some gorgeous high notes with this song! You guys make the perfect duo. Can't wait for more.

[@imaramblins]

Hands down. The MOST beautiful, modern, rendition I’ve ever heard!

[@pilates68]

My god !!! this is incredible. This is not just a simple "cover" it's so complete and awe inspiring. Two guys??? are you kidding me ??? words escape me....

[@Jewelrymaker]

How do you not have a million subscribers? Best covers on youtube! Bravo!

[@martinkeller2741]

Yes - Best covers Ive ever heard.

[@bushisahomo]

because they are all watching shitty cardi b vids

[@patrickmirandy3554]

Best covers by far

[@joey398]

God I wish I could hear you guys play this somewhere with a bon fire in the middle of a night. That would be so friggin soothing.

[@erikowens3933]

I don’t know what it is about these performances, But they are just enjoy to listen to and watch. I’ve been going through some very difficult changes in my life recently and I find myself just searching through the list and watching your performances again and again. Very comforting to me, sacred stuff. Thank you, and everyone you perform with

[@mikemasse]

Thank you for sharing that, Erik. I'm glad the music is comforting. Hang in there. Things will get better.

[@jaynietee000]

Erik…listen as often as you need to. ❤️ The world is a hard place right now and Mike provides a beautiful, distracting soundtrack. I love this and More Than A Feeling more than anything, the total joy and energy in the performance lets me know the world is a good place for as long as I want it to be. Be well and happy ❤️✌️

[@lorad.722]

I'm in love with your version❤

[@mikestyles499]

I immediately went back to 1970 and all the feelings of being 20, thank you.

[@JordanVailo]

As I have come to expect from you, absolutely STUNNING. You and Sterling absolutely killed every part of this. The way you sung the flute solo, the banshee like wail from Sterling, the amazing guitar and baas work from you both, it's an absolute masterpiece. I also really love Sterlings facial expressions when he sings. It adds a lot to the video knowing how absolutely into it he is.

[@remgrbeyond0982]

JordanVailo I second that

[@raffaelebarbaro8125]

@@remgrbeyond0982 fantastic

[@winstonswim8076]

One of my favorite songs as a teen. Possibly the best cover i have ever heard. WOW..hauntingly beautiful.

[@camilleb.2667]

this is a real emotional song for me. I play the flute. My dad who is a farmer with no musical education whatsoever ask me once when I was 8, just starting playing the flute: "can you play that part?" and I managed (after practice!!). well it brings back memeories thank you so much guys :D

[@kevingriffin9893]

Jesus Effin Cristo! Insanely beautiful and moving ~

[@tonyalfano2479]

Freaking awesome. Vocal just like the record. Same timbre, inflection, growl, spacing, crying . Just the way I like it. TRUE!

[@cozyslor]

That was outrageous. Sterling backing was immense. As good as Jeff on Black Peter.

[@Sebassie]

Mike, great as always! But dude...Sterling! That guy has some serious range!

[@mikemasse]

Agreed! Watch this and his Elvis back to back to fully appreciate it. 👍

[@poiuyt975]

On that video we can appreciate your long hair as well, Mike :)

[@mikemasse]

Or what was left of it, yes ;)

[@Sebassie]

Several pounds ago to. Now you just look 'sick' ;)

[@mikemasse]

I like to think I look healthier, because I am. :)

[@WashburnD10]

Full range voices filling the void of instruments. Absolutely brilliant Mike & Sterling

[@Kryptonite357]

How does this not have more views ? Still incredible

[@oranjjjggg]

Best cover of this song I’ve seen

[@Drifter2100]

Mike. These sounds have been fading away for a while. Thanks so much for preserving them in almost their original form. Brilliant co-performance by Sterling Cottam. My salute!

[@yensilluap]

That was amazing ! The Moody Blues need to see this! The arrangement is great - just two instruments and two voices and the sound is so full that nothing is missed!

[@cariboo8792]

Goosebumps. Fantastic and emotional !

[@andrewmartin8978]

GOOD GOD - those high notes!

[@rob1261a]

Wow, Awesome!

[@YTistooannoying]

That vibrato...oh my soul. Just break my heart and heal it again with that vibrato alone.

[@lisaloftus7254]

Jesus Pete....every performance I watch is amazing. You both have absolutely amazing harmonies together. There are no words to describe how good you are.

[@icarus187]

I've been playing and singing for over 30 years and just like that in 5 minutes I now feel like a complete beginner. Well done - one of my favorite videos i've seen. I didn't even like this song until now.

[@bigrontbone6417]

Omg that back up singer at the chorus gave me mega goosebumps at the Chorus....... wow.....

[@rainbowmoonreadings4541]

Chills!!!!! I mean Chills. Nailed it. You can feel the raw, deep, powerfulness of this song!

[@bradbasham]

WHOH !!! That is shockingly good. I’m in awe !!!!

[@hannakinn]

I'm old, have loved this song forever. You sang it beautifully. OMG chills and tears. Don't ever stop singing!

[@Mageye]

This made the hair on my head and neck stand up--so ethereal and fleeting and oh so beautiful-- and then the smile and giggle at the end. Sublime perfection. Well done gentlemen.

[@EarnestCreations]

Jeeeeeesss... those voices! clap clap clap

[@RiC_David]

How Mike comes from the highest note down to the final verse in an instant is beyond me. It's great to find a channel you last checked out almost a decade ago and have all that's in between to catch up on.

[@chrisbravo920]

This might be one of the very best videos on KZbin. Hats of to you mate. Tremendous cover of a tremendous song.

[@PhilKelley]

Thank you for an excellent cover of a really great song. Mike, you have Justin's vocal mannerisms down without being a mimic. Also, the vocal on the musical interlude was well done. Sterling's ability to cover the rest of the vocals, along with playing a bang on bass, helped make this cover unique and sonically superb.

[@naomelembro421]

OMFingG!!! I have listened to this song more on than off for FIFTY years and I am sitting here in Medellin, Colombia looking for my freaking jaw that dropped and disappeared somewhere!! G Damn that was amazing!!!!!

[@cleigh8753]

I dont know what else to say, besides PERFECTION!! OMG,..the vocals are INSANE! Pure MAGIC! I

[@michaelto1975]

Thanks!

[@cribrebo7375]

This song always makes me reflect on my life for the last 60 years.... Great job.....

[@peacesellsprod]

Mike you are killing it. You and Sterling make the perfect group

[@AndrewDavidBaron]

Greatest. Cover. Ever.

[@raybentos4469]

I would honestly give everything I own to have talent like that.

[@helentroy9097]

[@monti1707]

How come this is better than the original, when the original is a masterpiece???? Absolutely mind blowing

[@utkarshchauhan4607]

Loved the vocal solo part! Sounds so cool!

[@soosings]

This is THE BEST cover of this song. Wow.

[@overland5]

Gents..... you are amazing. Like so many others I do not understand why you guys are not signed. You are simply the best. From Wouter in Cape Town South Africa.

[@DAR-ew6xc]

Just want you to know that I’ve been listening to you from the start, and I always come straight to your channel when I’m stressed and need to put my mind at ease. You’re truly a god send

[@johnnysteelwood931]

Obviously the best cover duo ever!

[@rocco...]

[@sjcottam]

Wow. I'm speechless. The best cover.

[@paintbox48]

Perfect - unbelievable talent. I'm completely blown away.

[@JoanVioletStretch]

Excellant and Im fussy about covers of my fav band The Moody Blues and Justin Hayward and you nailed it here...If you dont get that first note on this song you'll never get it at all and you got it 100% love the voice replacing the flute interlude and your treble notes are awesome, this is a very fine performance and Im sure the band would approve of it indeed...a big applause well done you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 💕🎶🎵

[@sicksquid3258]

Good God! Absolutely Stunning Guys,Bravo.

[@Emmie_McMahn]

Your voice is so close to the real thing! Great harmonies.

[@stratanl1323]

Wow, the high notes..... amazing!

[@wpwestla]

Amazing, just amazing !! The only "problem" with listening to you guys while I work is that I can't just listen, I have to watch because I can't believe what I'm hearing if that makes any sense. We plan on seeing you in Germantown and hope to bring a few peeps with us. Caught you and Sterling in NYC last year and that was awesome as well.

[@lafayette951]

You're simply the best! 👏👏👏

[@myflyonthewall48]

When you do the part "Oooo how I loooove yoouuuuuuu" it's perfect. Like that's the best part of the song and you nailed it!! My day is so made brother. Also, I didn't even know Sterling could do that

[@douglasrosas9708]

Beautiful version of this classic .....definitely a fan of Mike Massey and various accompanying musicians......

[@BarriePoole]

Great Job Mike & Sterling!!! Goosebumps!!!

[@kentkelly5301]

Nice flute work! lol Moody Blues are my all time favorite band and you guys did great justice to their song. Very nice harmonies and arranging.

[@Jay_Kay_Redpill]

Amazing as always! One of my favourite songs, you guys have taken it to a different level with this performance. Thank you.

[@ellenslerner255]

This has always been a favorite piece of mine.
