'YAH MO B THERE' (JAMES INGRAM & MICHAEL McDONALD ) cover by HSCC

[@possumsnest]

Never tire of this track. Danny and Dusty are superb. Can you get Dusty back for a sneaky cameo Con...miss him!! ❤❤❤

[@johnsauer9067]

Embarrassed as I sit here in the States asking myself, "Where have these guys been that I was completely unaware of them?" Well, I know about them now. Thank God for the internet. All the musicians in this collective are so good.

[@luisquintero2992]

Again, the recording engineer... We should gave him a Grammy award!

[@utpaldas5851]

Ya man damm good.

[@jt.8144]

Yeah totally with you on that "note" . 2024. Wisely hid all the 'cringy' parts of the song.

[@CHICOZTACOS]

This is why KZbin needs a love button. Incredible!

[@CraigCarol]

❤there it is

[@markginsel4238]

I spent 20 years of my life in quite successful cover bands in Austin Texas. BUT my final wish before I go toes up is to be propped up watching these guys play. Hands down the greatest cover act I've ever seen.

[@possumsnest]

What a lovely comment!

[@lizhorvet1543]

Aren't they AMAZING!

[@stevenmorse4386]

I agree with you and the mixing is stellar. There are only two cover bands that I have found on the net that would come close and they are “Foxes and Fossils” and “Band Geek”. As a drummer I am always super impressed with Con the base player and the drummer combo. Rock solid.

[@markginsel4238]

@@stevenmorse4386 Con Delo is a freaking monster. Guy is smooth as silk, precise as sunrise and cool as an iceberg.

[@michaelwhite8775]

Fingers crossed you've got many many years to fulfil your wish

[@mikeflanagan4096]

Jazz funk fusion. How music is supposed to sound. Your sound takes us there.

[@wokka6850]

Daniel and Dusty are my two favourite HSCC vocalists. So great to see them together out front and both enjoying each other's talent!

[@jeffto23ify]

Love Dustys voice brilliant rendition of this song . well done all

[@bradshores9617]

You guys NEVER EVER DISAPPOINT.

[@Bill_Sawyer]

For sure. 👍😎

[@steveg6199]

As time goes by, they seem to keep getting better.

[@brettymike]

....and I love the amusing looks when they are finished! :-D - such a fun (and talented!) band.

[@stevenmorse4386]

Solid as a rock core with a huge pool of talented ring ins to call on.

[@tonymillar5342]

Not a religious person, but whenever I need a spiritual uplift, I always come back to this performance !

[@BML1967]

My wife is questioning my youtube activity. HSCC, I need your back being OCD watching all of your stellar songs, sound, and videos. Outstanding!

[@mikegentry6614]

Nothing better!

[@MC-dw5or]

Wow! How the hell did I miss this one?! I think this ranks as one of my favourite HSSC covers. Danny: one of his strongest vocal performances IMO, soulful with power. Dusty: we need to see more of him, his MM vocals are superb. And the rest of the band, you guys nailed it. Bravo fellas 👏❤️

[@lakegirl451]

You know its good when Con shakes his head! 😍

[@mig4349]

Love this song! Love the HSCC cover! ❤🙏 Songfacts®: According to Michael McDonald, "Yah Mo B There" is based on the original Hebrew name for God (Yahweh), and was originally called "Yahweh Be There." The title was James Ingram's idea: "We were talking about how to say 'God will be there' without scaring most of the audience away." It was co-written and produced by Quincy Jones (who does the African style sounds in the song) and Rod Temperton, who later wrote "Sweet Freedom" for McDonald (the theme from Running Scared).

[@TarheelTad64]

RIP Mr James Ingram HSCC you guys did James & Michael proud that was fantastic

[@jtfields11ify]

2 vocalists who are extremely hard to duplicate and a song with lots of vocal overlays: Well done. Nailed this one.

[@hrmkj]

First time I've heard Dusty on vocals. Wow - did he nail it!

[@fillrobs7726]

Holy cow!

[@davidg2731]

Dusty Stephensen brilliantly channeling Michael McDonald!

[@Ramblingdads]

sweet baby Jesus and the orphans....!!!! What voices!!! What a performance!!

[@larryw.oliphant7848]

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST COVERS ,,, THIS COMING FROM A 74 YEAR OLD < THEY COVER SO MANY DIFFERENT SOUNDS ,, LOVIN IT..

[@CaptainWeirdBeard69]

Holy shit. Everything was just on point here. The main vocals and the backing harmonies/vocals. The playing. The beat. The mixing. This is the kind of group you want to play in and really raise your own game in the process.

[@videowatcher4006]

OMG, amazing. Enough said.

[@blueridgepics]

Dayum!!! I just discovered this awesome band!!! Thanks guys!!!! 5 stars! 6 stars! 7 stars! 8 stars! 9 stars! 10 STARS!!!!! GRAMMY!!! The whole band shines!!!

Who else read the title and said "oh no you didn't!" ❤️❤️❤️ YES THEY DID!!!🔥

[@buttonpusher4804]

Absolutely!!!😂😂

[@kimmie-kat]

Today is the first time I realized that this song was Ingram and McDonald’s shout out to God always being there for us. I guess I never really listened to the lyrics in my younger days. Whole new respect for this song. You guys ROCKED it! Sending love and prayers for good health from Kentucky USA! 💕

[@florencelinderman3797]

I thought so as well. I'm going to read the lyrics. It would be wonderful if all these souls are saved ❤🙏

[@lauragreenwell6724]

Hi from the U.K.- ditto to the above comments! I am 47 and only just realised what the lyrics are! Yipeeeee!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Amen? AMEN!!

Hi from a Christian family in the U.K.! As a Christian and HSCC fan I love it that they did this!!!! 😁🙏

[@EdDuce42]

I worked for one of the most successful rock bands in the history of recorded music back in the mid 80's to 90's and have been blessed to see and hear some of the greatest musicians around. I must say these guys are incredible! GREAT JOB!!

[@Eric-ug9st]

❤

[@bradfordb8469]

The message. The performance. The God-given talent expanded.

[@carlkerkman7028]

Dusty's voice and searing guitar lead make this song shine!

Daniel Lopresto and Dusty Stephensen, very very good 👏👏👏

[@mcsemark]

Is it just me? or does anyone else feel like they perform certain songs just for you? As if they can read minds? Incredible performance, again. Thank you!

[@robinpiller2]

Agree, I feel like a bunch friends are performing for me! (Please excuse former comments -- I think I was falling asleep...as it didn't make sense.)

[@johannbienaime330]

Yeah as if they hacked your best playlist on ya phone...🤗

[@davebarrette5674]

As I sit at my computer at 11:30 pm on a Saturday night with headphones on they are playing just for me

[@sculptureshard377]

Owner of a lonely heart, I'm on fire, and All night long are incredibly well done; all my favouries. plus Drive, Crazy and. For me, "I'm on Fire," made me soar. I disliked this one by the original G'day Bruce Springsteen, but Con and Darren have done the impossible with it.

[@HOTSTRONGKAFFE]

Agree

[@simondepomeroy3542]

Lordy! Daniel and Dusty pulling solid turns at the front. Constantine ripping 16th note triplet fills to bring the chorus in on full boost. Absolute magic.

[@frodogoats]

Love this song. James Ingram would be proud,! Both him and Michael are a hard act to follow. Excellent as always!

[@jeanfredericpierre1070]

He finally found God. RIP James

[@lakegirl451]

How about the Doobies singing “Jesus is just alright “? Back in that day the saying, “You’re all right, meant a good thing!

Absolutely THE BEST COVER BAND!

[@mbolduc]

WOW. So much fun to see Daniel and Dusty up front pushing each other like this. Battle of the TITANS

[@serdip]

HSCC has blown my mind so many times that I don't have any mind left! 🙂 But I don't mind they didn't leave any behind Because I'll still have peace of mind Though it's so hard to find Because HSCC is just one of a kind😎

[@billybatson22]

So the original happens to be one of my all time favorites. Over the past year or so, HSCC has quickly become one of my all time favorite bands (and I have the coffee mug and shirt to prove it..lol). Therefore, the combo of THIS song and THIS band was an absolute match made in heaven. Daniel Lopresto is amazing and when I see him listed as a featured artist I can't hit "play" fast enough. The harmonies give me goosebumps. Kudos to Daniel, Dusty, Mario, Dave, Steve and of course, Con and Darren. Be sure of this: Somewhere...James Ingram is both honored and singing along.

[@theHindleyStreetCountryClub]

🙏🙏

[@mikemullen1413]

Great song and great job! The ever so important keyboard/Fairlight work IS the song.

This is like beholding an amazing piece of art and having tears well up in your eyes. As a musician, I know the struggles and how much time and hard work goes into your craft. God bless this amazing bunch of musicians.

[@chriscooper7642]

Brilliantly stated. I sometimes am moved to tears listening and watching . As a singer myself, I particularly enjoy watching the passion in the vocalist’s faces. I can relate.

[@horaciorosario1155]

[@mattrixx_audio]

Yup, superb!!

[@sarahshepherd8992]

This is absolutley fantastic. James Ingram Patti Austin Baby Come to Me would be an insane one to do

[@82394forrest]

Michael and James are true artists. You guys just nailed it? God bless

[@keikocybryrone9862]

Excellent rendition of a powerful Gospel Inspired song. God bless HSCC to continue good music.

[@bryanjames6520]

For those who don’t know, MOTOWN started in a basement called THE PIT, of a residential house in Detroit, Michigan. HITSVILLE USA. Watching HSCC is like traveling back to a forgotten time. Where jazz musicians from the Detroit area would come down in THE PIT and lay their tracks down. Under the house band name of THE FUNK BROTHERS. Darren & Con are like the WIZARD in the movie the WIZARD OF OZ... taking today’s technology and talent, and showing us all what’s possible. When HSCC releases a new video, I almost stop listening to the original recordings. Dave Ross lays down some classic rifs along with Dusty and Daniel. Dusty sounds like a young Michael McDonald. I can remember a time during the 80’s when music coming out of the radio was not very inspiring. But with Darren & Con leading the charge, every Thursday is a GREAT DAY - DOWN UNDER to say the least! YAH-MO-BE “HSCC” !!!

[@daveross-obsessedwithsound6236]

Great post Bryan, thanks! Cheers Dave #Korg #ObsessedWithSound

[@shellstringer3146]

WOW! This is an amazing cover. Fabulous voices

[@shaylagonser9341]

Really awesome cover. Always one of my favorite songs of all time. I wish someone could make a 911 tribute video with this song. The part in the song "people have to keep pushing on no matter how many dreams slip away" In my mind I see the plane hitting the first tower 😢 My parents were also killed in a plane crash in 1997. I wish someone could do this to honor the victims of 911, and all the brave men, and women who risked their own lives to save others that day.

Best Cover Band on the Planet

[@johnnyseg754]

Absolutely impressive! The music, as with your other covers, is tight, precise, and near perfect. But the vocals, with this song not easy to replicate, are indeed perfect! You managed to cover a difficult song, but made it your own. Michael McDonald and James Ingram have some if the most soulful voices ever, and you all have done them justice. Congrats on a great musical cover, but more so, congrats on singing this soulful song with the depth it was intended to be sung. Bravo, gentlemen, Bravo!

[@theHindleyStreetCountryClub]

Thank You Johnny 👍

[@Tripple3]

100% concur with all you have said Johnny. I was imressed and moved by their performance.

[@kevinallen1699]

Is it just me or is Lopresto the third twin of Robin and Mo Gibb... Lopresto being Robin's identical twin, of course. Is this even possible ?... FAB JOB !
