I don’t know how people can be so critical- this is obviously a group of very talented musicians just jammin’ and giving us great music. If they were filming for a professional video shoot then I’m sure it would 100% better but this is awesome ! Thanks guys - keep sharing your talents!

[@liviahhoi]

Thank you. Much appreciated 🙂

[@pbenson56fran]

Jammin to some great music. 80s music

[@alisonreid1070]

I agree!!! I have heard some covers of What You Won't Do for Love and this is one of the best I've heard! I remember when I first heard it at 18 and this is the best show of respect to Bobby Caldwell who just yesterday passed!!!

[@liviahhoi]

@Alison Reid very sad that this legend has passed away

[@TheSeeking2know]

I agree. This is so great to see. Keep pumping it out!

[@faagailuapo7768]

Nothing quite like a live horn section

[@liviahhoi]

true story - thank you :)

[@JK-js2td]

From another professional horn player (🎷)....there is no substitute!!!!!

[@renehuizinga3630]

Was thinking the exact thing when hearing their first notes and then reading your comment the same time 😂❤

[@liviahhoi]

[@sumoblues]

pretty decent but could even be better when intonation is tight.

Man I wish I was there in person drinking coffee watching these talented people while I enjoy ❤

You're welcome anytime 😊

[@djphoebemariethesmoothjazz8297]

Love this!!

[@williamstuart1770]

Great overall. Horn section is nice. Was not super tight at the beginning, but fell into the groove. Vocal was nice as well, but lose the paper please.

[@liviahhoi]

Thank you. Much appreciate the feedback

[@papajoel52]

Superb performance guys! My first time to listen to your group, I am subscribing for more musical pleasure! ❤

I'm 60 now, I like this band, they did very well with these songs.

[@elizabethquon3568]

He has a wonderful voice and the band was great. Love it 🦋🌞

[@liviahhoi]

Thanks Elizabeth 😊

[@svelinov]

New generations should watch this video and see how full rhythm and horns section should sounds like.

[@SoleBriety]

Oh man that transition on 4:18. It gave me goosebumps. Awesome work!!!

[@kendrairvin8350]

What a Beautiful tribute to the Late Great Bobby Caldwell, may he RIP!!

[@vicrider2124]

Enjoyed this group very much! Great grove fellas.

[@chasingpowder200]

Smooth vocals + keyboards + bass + guitars + big horn section with sexy sax + solid mixing = perfection.

[@utubewillyman]

The great Bobby Caldwell would be proud.

[@liviahhoi]

I hope so too

[@M2092-i2l]

ボビーはほんまたまりまへん！ デビューした時から大好きやった。 うちの妹もハマって ペットのシェットランドシープドックにシェリーと名付け、二代目のペットにも同じ名前。(￣▽￣) ボビー、洒落てて最高やったわ。 ありがとうな。

[@cheryloliver4914]

Yes, you nailed it, sounding spot on thanks men it’s a joy too hear talent you might not hear!

[@atiwatkitvanitphasu5885]

Both are my favourites songs. Thanks for superb band covers. This made my day a lot and it’s the delightful pleasure to subscribe your band. P.S. Just know that Bobby passed away. RIP to him and deepest condolence to his family.

This reminds me of seeing the late fabulous Bobby Caldwell when he sang this.. lovely !!

[@SteveHavens-ct1ih]

Thank you all for such a great arrangement. I loved the horns, and the vocals. A great arrangement and composition of musicians.

[@engineer6250]

Sub. Scribed. Lovely tight rhythm section, loving the bass in particular. The horn section, spot on. The keyboards, doing their thing, and the vocals. Look, I don’t know much about music. I’m a simple man, but this? I loved.

[@liviahhoi]

Much appreciated 🙏

[@alanappleton8200]

FANTASTIC !!! top marks, keep on doing what your doing because your doing it right!! Keep the faith

[@rayharvest]

Very chilled band♥️nothing like musicians who you can hear can do a whole lot but choose to do just enough and respect the song

[@nigelmurray8187]

100% 1ST CLASS CHAMPAIGN PERFORMANCE EPIC!!!!!☝🤌❤😇

[@ThunderFields]

I wish I was part of a band like this. They all sound amazing.

[@jomajor8485]

good horn section. tight with good blend. Interesting instrumentation - from the video it is two tenors, two bones and two trumpets? Lol, I'm missing the bari 🙂

[@AbsalomAMADEUS]

RIP Bobby Caldwell `` DO FOR LOVE``

[@lesterseto8593]

Oh wow! You fellas hit these songs out of the ballpark! Remarkable tribute to dear Bobby Caldwell.

[@johnhyon8519]

nothing feels better than a cohesive band! great job!

[@liviahhoi]

Much appreciated John 🙂

[@sharbi3]

Thoroughly enjoyed this jam session. I closed my eyes and let the melodies and smooth voice ease my mind. Thx

[@norlan.navarrete]

Hello! they have great voices, Just a question are they native speakers of English? Their pronunciation is very good. Kind Regards

[@liviahhoi]

Yes. We're from New Zealand and English is our primary language but most of us are of Samoan origin

[@jeffhampton2767]

Very pretty voice you did a great job. I'm from the 1960s and 70s and the key to sounding really good besides having a good voice is to try to sound as close to the original as possible when singers start to change the song around too much then they ruin it. But you did great❤

[@jasangela]

My ears and spirit are finding this delicious to hear.

[@michellejones2416]

YES, YES, YES !!! ❤ 0:32

[@billrobinson6940]

Love this! The mix is relaxed, the vid quality is also relaxed.. Perfection.. just as it is! An inspiration to any group of people dedicated to making great music together!

[@liviahhoi]

Thanks so much Bill. Yeah any more relaxed and we would fallen asleep😉

[@spaea2062]

RIP to the Uso Bobby Caldwell. (The Polynesian community love that dude)
