Samantha Fish - "Hello Stranger"

[@ccmcnutt]

I went looking for the best cover of Barbara Lewis' glorious "Hello Stranger,' and my search ended here. Thank you Samantha for your very worthy cover of a truly great song. How does this video not have a million views?

[@rogermoscrop4523]

Great version. If not heard[?] have a listen to Yvonne Elliman’s outro kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4rYn4aEnLlspqM

[@Nyika1203]

Different vibe, but you should check out Julia Holter's version of this song.

[@johnreep5798]

I like Yvonne Elliman's, myself.

[@johnreep5798]

But I love the guitar playing in Samantha's.

[@nankerphelge3771]

Smooth, polished, soulful, and live!

[@UncGibs59]

Too bad there are people with terrible hearing here... Samantha is amazing! ✌️🤟

[@lostchord702]

One of the BEST songs ever ! Samantha does Barbara Lewis' song so well. Cant wait to see her in june at flying monkey, plymouth nh

[@markpigott5544]

Goddamn.......first heard this when I was....well 1963 ish....thanks for lighting up the sounds and memories so sweetly!

[@MrSasquatch44]

Okay I've seen a variety of this lady at various venues doing this song and this is by FAR the best mix the best everything of this song. Whoever set it up in the studio and mixed did a fabulous job. The musicians were great and Miss Fish pours out her heart. Wonderful stuff you guys.

[@sylviacarlson3561]

KVMR played this around 5:00 pm-ish today and I had to look it up to see who she was. I always loved Barbara Lewis version, but I must say, she does an excellent job!! Kudos to you Samantha and your wonderful band of musicians!

[@tomchrisfield7348]

It just proves that if you have real talent you don't need an exotic recording studio.

[@BarryKing-w3p]

Just a totally amazing cover, hitting all the right spots. Bluesy and smooth. How is this cover not WAY more popular? boggles me mind!!!

[@hemigod2]

Not a chance. But I do love that y’all love such a great song.. but when you listen to the original, the magic is in how they did it exactly the way they did it back during those times. So so beautiful.

[@peterkraushaar1960]

Really hope she does this tune at the upcomming Portland show!

[@ronvogt00]

It has been in her set list frequently on the Faster tour.

[@donnieturner2328]

Great version of this classic!

[@someofem]

Jesus Samantha, that was so beautiful that it brought me to tears.

[@carlossanchez3000]

This song brought tears to my eyes. Lol! Beautiful song

[@darensamuels5208]

I like her guitar work, and this arrangement is great. She is an amazing player, and her restraint on this song is so perfect…not too much and not too little. It must have been tempting to work in a real shredding guitar solo but she just gives the song what it needs, and the results are wonderful. Her vocal is (obviously) great as well. I have watched several videos with this lineup from 2018 and the whole crew was terrific. Thank you for posting this and sharing it with us all. So nice to find real artists who play and perform live and are so legit. Keep it coming!!

[@robertnighthawk6724]

The queen of cracked voices

[@christopherallen9580]

Shoobop Shoobop!

[@milablk]

WOW!!! and OMG!!! All rolled into one, this lady is righteous

[@nocarbonfootprint9120]

Stunning

[@reerobinette7460]

I Loved it . Couldn’t wait to hit the ”save” button. It’s nothing like the original which was awesome. Samantha is so talented. ❤

[@christopherallen9580]

Samantha giving it the Al Green touch on this song!

[@SpacklyJones]

Yeah Al Green. That's it. I couldn't put my finger on it. Nice job.

[@fisher-samoyed9857]

Heard this song while shopping at Ross. Asked Google to find the artist and added this song to my Spotify playlist.

[@someofem]

Whoa baby! This is so damn good, words can't describe. Makin that jazzmaster sing too. Thank you!

[@elizabethgeoghegan5167]

Welp. I gotta see them live. Jeez so good!

[@lavernebrocks5027]

Heard you at the New Orleans Jazz festival and I'm in love with your amazing voice. Samantha Fish, my new bestie!!❤️💐

[@OldGrowthRedwood]

Nailed it! One of my favorites.

[@donnieturner2328]

Love this version of this classic!

[@grahams1097]

Well, you have a fan on a Scottish Island, Samantha! KZbin sent you to me 1 month ago from Daryl's House. I've got you on all day/night. Can't believe that I didn't know of your brilliance. This Scot has paid Amazon £14.00 for your 'Chills and Fever' CD. The rest of my 'newer music' collection comes in at (about) £6.00...You're worth it!

[@Hovermaster]

Have always loved this tune, you certainly did it justice

[@duhbigcat1848]

Beautiful cover

[@moongushiaka1486]

love the way she projects her feelings ( like she makes hurt soo goodd.

[@antoniodellevergini2869]

Samantha mostruosa. Che voce.

[@Stovepipe274]

BRAVO!!!

[@tommaloney3938]

what a surprise. didn't know she could go there. beautiful guitar work. nice arrangement. she made it her own but the essence of the song is there.

[@MyAlbertC]

Great voice, also nice lead on the rest of the ban. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@luckyguy3341]

I really like this studio version of “Hello Stranger” you can hear what a great voice she has. 😁

[@ronvogt00]

Found it! Been looking for a live version of this song where her guitar work matched the subtlety and delicate beauty of her studio version on Chills and Fever. And this is the best one yet. Also from this same session, check out No Angels. Exquisite.

[@cindiballer2939]

GO GIRL ! SAMANTHA YOU HAVE YOURSELF AND SURROUNDED BY REALLY REALLY GOOD MUSICIANS. ALWAYS A WINNER KEEP SHINING WINNERS !

[@cadrielp]

You killed that. Frikin awesome

[@Tompuentes]

She's amazing! Just love her.

[@luckyguy3341]

I love how she moves.

[@martincarman1725]

Just an excellent rendition. Thanks for all you endeavors; they paid off quite well.

[@gilbertmhernandez6308]

2 people here don't know a darn thing about great musicianship... Love You Samantha

[@johns1159]

Love this! Super talented lady!!

[@whotoinfinity]

Excellent. I dig it deep. Even though they took the chew-bop outta the chew-bop, chew-bop baby.

[@prowellerable]

...different but very nicely done.

[@Janyjanjan54]

🌸🌻🌸just heard this and I LOVE it so much💘 so soulful and compliments the original by Barbara Lewis, which I love too. I keep re-playing this and dancing. Sooooo good 💖🌻🌸

Great ensemble work. SF is a hard working versatile muso.

[@ericcross7863]

Outstanding!........such talent

[@kentbeery8653]

Now thatz Perfection......

[@christopherallen9580]

Love Samantha's rendition. Only thing missing is the "shubop shubop my baby."

[@JohnMLlewellyn]

This almost blew my mind as a fantastic cover of Barabara Ann Lewis's great song which I thought could not get better than the original. Now, I am not so sure.

[@margaretmartinez1896]

She cool.

[@tatestar7000]

Excellent!!!

[@gingerdesoto215]

love her voice

[@edwardhernandez8079]

Heavens to Mercutroid!!!! The way she skips between voice and guitar at the end.

[@kenbrownfield6584]

She is a hot foxy lady ...I wish she would come to Asheville

[@pifpoufpaf9]

Zo Mooi !! Great all the way !! Knap " Hello Stranger" ??

[@malie_rozine]

pleez show-up in my city_dont want you being a stranger!

[@transbirthingperson4823]

But it works and works beautifully. Maybe Barbara Lewis’ studio just tossed her a microphone keyboard and drum sticks and said you got like 30 minutes and she produced one of the most amazing songs ever so Fish with her vast arrangements really gives witness to the brilliance of Lewis IMHO but I’m just a dorky White guy from Chicago.

[@Halad49]

You know what I love most about this lovely young lady? No tats!!

[@transbirthingperson4823]

Bingo!

[@marcosjeofla]

❤

[@dariocesarguerraaffonsodac8006]

...babytsyou!

[@RichardWhitesell-c5k]

Shoo wop shoo wop my baby ooo.

[@earlwatson5761]

Smoke in.....

[@dailaffin9066]

Life is too short for so many tangled wires on the floor, did Sam join in untangling them all 😀

[@h.t.7310]

Hey man what’s with the camera man....stay on the star

[@eddieradford113]

Musics good plus she's hot.

[@levimust4479]

Great tribute to Barbara Lewis.

[@connie3312]

Best version is By Carrie Lucas Listen on utube

[@rlgmarketing]

WOW! Is she smoking hot!

[@johnnyfarout]

go be d'jazz girl

[@barbaramckampson5096]

The worst I have ever heard this song saying is by you by the way Bobbie Jean says hello

[@billysoccerboypayne]

Not bad.

[@joethebumbler]

She has a great voice but IMO the backgound vocals are missing and that does not do the song justice.

[@transbirthingperson4823]

The beauty of the original Barbara Lewis song was the monotone male backing vocals. Can’t quite explain why but perfectly beautiful.

[@h.t.7310]

Samantha is way amazing and what the heck....camera man totally ruined a special thing....sucks what ur sid

[@idlewild1964]

Heeeere fishy fishy fishy!

[@EmilyEffingGrace80]

Good but too much of a departure..almost a different song altogether..

[@dougsmyth1226]

I like Barbara Lewis heck of a lot better

[@h.t.7310]

Dude mistake

[@h.t.7310]

What ur doing....ur not the star and the horns aren’t either....u ruined this.

[@BennyCFD]

Man that cover sucked...........What a disgrace to Barbara Lewis. If you're going to do covers don't slaughter it.

[@christopherallen9580]

Shoobop Shoobop!

[@michaelashcraft8569]

Uhhh, no, just no...

[@dianesteel5038]

Noooo nooooo , its a horrible version.

[@romysan1]

very good but prefer the original with the other vocals in harmony. Good job.
