Fever and Crazy are both almost impossible to cover since we hear Peggy and Patsy's voices in the back of our minds. But this young lady has pulled off both. Only comparable I can think of offhand is Eva Cassidy's version of Over the Rainbow
Yes she keeps her DeLorean hidden in the garage but please stay here in this time zone you make our lives better with that smile and your love with your little kitty toad go girl you go girl
@Peter Ponomarenko i doubt she's lip synching in this one. you can hear her voice on the mic at the beginning and at the end of the take, as well as her voice fading when she gets further from the mic. also, this is josh turner's channel, where every video i've seen has been a live recording. microphone quality and post processing these days are really good, so i understand why it seems like it must've been recorded in a studio.
@Peter Ponomarenko yep, it's possible the video is slightly off. with productions like this the sound and video usually has to be manually aligned by the video editor, so that's likely the margin of human error you're noticing.
God damn, people are so desperate to be unique. i guess when theres 7 billion people on this planet alot of people will want to stand out by having a wacky style. at least she isnt as desperate as takashi 69
@@davep8221 I laughed so hard! My advice: watch/listen 12 times to Allison's animated vocal performance, then do the same for Josh - you won't be disappointed.
We need a Grammy for Best RU-vid Cover. This is perfect; to go into a studio and record it again would have been a waste. Really, this take is maybe the best thing I have EVER seen on RU-vid. IT IS PERFECT! KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK!
This was indeed perfect. I will share with you another group that seems to always be perfect, at least the recordings that get to youtube: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fjo75CFJjG4.html (The youngest member of the band was 6, the oldest 19 at that time. The same band, or parts of it, about 10 years later. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LUz4T1liFGw.html The best recording of this one was by Ella Fitzgerald, perhaps till this.
Z1000Jeff, Smarty pants. Typed is one thing, spoken, another. Maybe John Cortex meant no words were coming out of his mouth, as in, "Speechless!" Even disregarding that distinction or possibility, such figures of speech are rarely meant to be taken so literally. But you probably had fun doing that, anyway.
Just FYI, Josh did Cry Me a River with Larkin Dodgen in 2014. Check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eotJdVKBTos.html Enjoy!
And here I am, thinking nothing could make Josh seem more talented. And then comes Allison and she ups his game. And she’s among the best female vocalists I’ve EVER heard on The Tube.
What can be said? Velvet, smooth, clarity, rhythm, silky, unique, individual, and cute as can be. I've just discovered you, Allison Young, and I love you. Talent and all!
This was the first video I ever saw of Allison or Josh performing. It completely blew me away. Since then I've seen all of their RU-vid performances - most, more than once. The ones I like best are their duets, together. These two not only have incredible skills but a passion for their music which is rarely seen by other performers.
That was unexpected: Ms Young's outfit reminds me of a doll, but she has a perfectly smooth, adult voice with nice dark undertones. A very accomplished singer indeed. And the guitar was perfect.
this is bloody spectacular. Never stops amazing me how good Josh is on a guitar. Like flawless, full of soul and so bloody effortless and having fun all the while. Great stuff.
This young lady's voice absolutely blows me away...emotive and sultry yet unaffected, unlike so many girls today who twist themselves into knots trying to sound like Amy WInehouse or Mariah Carey. She should be a household name.
What a lovely young lady... her voice is wonderful, her presence in front of the camera refreshing, and her interpretation of this classic song superb. 10+ stars! BTW Josh, it goes without saying you nailed it too!
In all the hubbub of this and that voice, there comes along someone who, in song, pretty much tells everyone to take a seat: "we're going to talk business here," and commences to tell it as it should be told. Allison does just that. She reminds singers everywhere, in all of their work, not to forget the essence of singing: be true to your soul, be down to earth, and always season your offering for the best flavor possible.
This is one of those rare and amazing times when an artist covers a song and truly makes it their own. Hat's off to Allison, who I only discovered this evening! That guitar player ain't half bad, too. Great work, Josh!
Wow Allison that was fantastic. When I was a kid in the 60’s. I remember Peggy Lee sang that song on every variety show and talk show on TV. And you covered it as she sang it. It’s heart warming to see and hear younger folks playing older music 🎼 and playing it so well. Thanks.
Great voice. I've only heard Allison doing Crazy with Josh before. More of the same please! Such clever arrangement by Josh, simple and tricky touches and execution. Magnificent key changes.
There have been a few different versions of this song. Ray Petersen and Little Willie John. Peggy Lee was a real creative talent. It is great to see this video showing that young people can do great music. Wonderful vocal and guitar.
This girl Allison got the stuff. Many have made cover of this song and they all fail to grasp the essence. This performance is very tidy and clean of unnecessities. absolutely love it
The variety on this channel is second to none. Outstanding performance by Allison and a fine guitar accompaniment by Josh as usual, thanks for sharing.
Allison, that was one of the best covers I've heard of that song! Well done! .... but then, I can honestly say that of all of your covers! You are a refreshing talent! Josh, I've been watching you for about three years now, and you just keep getting better and better!
Goosebumps, gloopy stomach, bones gone to water .... oooo you two, burning icy hot. What sounds, tones, harmonics, grooooove. Thankyou for sharing this bliss, Josh and Allison. Takes me to my happy place.
There are so many great musicians we don't know about, like this woman doing a duet with Josh. He on guitar and she with her amazing voice! Fantastic, what a talent! Keep going Peggy, keep going with your amazing voice!!
Pure, real, enjoyable music. Can't say enough about how encouraging it is to find people who know what that is. Please don't stop! I'm in love with Allison's voice and Josh's talents.
Luv the little inflections on the guitar. Just gives it that extra special oomph that makes this cover great. Alison of course is a beauty with a voice to match ☺
Allison attire and hair and as a whole her looks as if in fifties.And the song they played in accord with that era.What a nice performers you both.Amazing!Awesome!Wonderful!
This is a REAL woman. She knows her source of power among the fairer sex. I love when ladies exhibit their best in their role as women. They are adorable and very talented in whatever they persue in that role. I love the popular music from the 20s through 70s, including the evolution of Jazz in the black community, and how it bled over into the white community in New Orleans and later Chicago. So thankful I stumbled upon this recording. Thanks you guys for giving something beautiful to this old codger.
I'm from a different era. I'm 75 and you took me back to when I was 25. You guys are quite the team. Alison I've got to say that you nailed it. Thank you both so very much
Peggy and Patsy can't be outdone but this uber talented lady does a fine job as always. And she does it her way which shows her enormous talent. Then there's Josh....exquisite. Together they're magical.
I keep coming back to watch and listen again to this gem from Josh and Allison. It's not just very, very good, it's a... struggling for the words... virtuoso interpretation. I focus back and forth between Josh's superb guitar dynamics to the sound and feel of Allison's voice - and equally, to those little gestures with her hands, her expression and her whole body as she brings the lyrics to life. Between them, the magic is born and, above all, the charm and humour of a great song. Bravo!
Your comment has inspired me to say: We are in a new era, where masterpieces such as this are not commercially released for the masses, but instead captured and released by the artists themselves for posterity. Perhaps unknowingly, when watching videos such as this, we are witnessing history in the making. While in the past, there has been very limited or no video footage of the artists who have made treasured works of music, now video is the norm. Mastertapes of past works of musical art have often been archived in warehouses by big studios. Sometimes poorly, as we saw last year when one of them caught fire and many treasures were lost to us forever, excepting for inferior copies. Here's hoping that Josh and Allison are able to preserve and keep these precious videos for future generations to be astounded by as we are.
An Awesome tribute to Little Willie John song " Fever " . I am glad that so many of the youth of today are finding and bringing back to life the music of yesteryear. Even though this music was before my time, I heard this song on Vinyl when visiting one of my grandmothers back in the southern part of the United States. Sometimes the old man would sing to the old lady saying I got the fever and she would giggle and say the boys are here dirty old man. One of my two grandfathers would sometimes take my little brother and myself to little shanties to listen to home style music made with old wine jugs and wash boards, along with wind and string instruments. My grand parents are truly missed after all these years. May this music live on for all to ear in their own good time.
You NAILED an extremely challenging song. I didn’t think anyone could do “Fever” justice since Peggy Lee. You & Josh are a great team (also on “Crazy”). Thanks for keeping this music alive.
I have been listening to that song since I was knee high to a grasshopper, but the words never popped out like they did just now. Somehow the lyrics got covered up in the orchestration. Thank you for breathing new life into an old song.
