Never thought anyone could ever come close to the brilliance Etta brought to this. Simply magnificent.

Probably the best cover that you ever posted here..vocally and emotionally..so powerful...and the videoclip simply delightful. I am a proud fan of you, just continue the good job!

I love Etta James and 'I'd rather go blind' is one of my favourite song. You've done a fitting tribute to this immortal artist.

Continuo ad ascoltare e riascoltare questa cover ... sei troppo bravo Stephen. Complimenti

Something told me it was over (yeah) When I saw you and her talking Something deep down in my soul said, "Cry girl" (cry, cry) When I saw you and that girl, walking now Ooh, I would rather, I would rather go blind boy Than to see you, walk away from me child, no Ooh, so you see, I love you so much That I don't want to watch you leave me babe Most of all, I just don't I just don't want to be free no, ooh ooh I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking Of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah When the reflection in the glass That I held to my lips now baby (yeah, yeah) Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah, ooh And babe, baby (baby, baby, baby) I'd rather I'd rather be blind boy Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah, ooh Baby, baby, baby (baby, baby, bay) I'd rather be blind now

Ok didn’t expect this one. Beautiful vocals and sung with so much feeling. Love this version 😊

You continue to astound me. All I have to say is I am happy to be alive in a time when you are giving us all this amazingness.

This is one of my all time favourite songs. It was one of the first songs I covered when I was about 13. This is fantastic, you have such a beautiful tone and so much feeling. Great job. I look forward to hearing more from you x

I didn't know how this would turn out. I was hoping that I didn't have to feel like, I'd rather go DEAF... rather than blind. But this was very well arranged. Again, not what I expected. In fact I didn't really think any male could cover such a great song. Especially an Etta James song.

From the first note - I already knew I was going to love it!!!! Bravissimo!!!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

semore il meglio, sempre bello

Stephen, I love the simplicity and creativity in this cover! Your take on Etta's bluesy tune is superb! Video production is very cool--like a real music video rather than a static studio video. Lenny's accompaniment is awesome! Great work, both of you!!!

Very nice 😁

I just fix my internet lol its been a week, miss youre coverss 😊

Thanks !! Stephen,very nice on acoustic way ,i like it !! So Please we need in Europe some songs of you , because tomorrow everyone will have to stay at home for 45 days ( disease corona virus ) becaming uncheckable ☹,we need some songs and music to make up smiling a litle bit.thanks to you

Love to hear you sing your version of Caruso

Hi Stephen. Changement de décor? How a marvellous voice and a guitar can bring a song from a bygone era back to life! Your videos will keep me company when it comes to a general lockdown in my country because of the Coronavirus in Europe! We are worried about what might happen to us. Kind regards!

I love this song so much. Probably one of my most favorite songs ever. You have a great voice, no doubt about it. Thank you for covering a Christina Aguilera song. Unfortunately, this song of Etta's requires not just a voice, but THE SOUL. Soul that can't be learned and imitated. Overall, it was an okay cover.

I have lovesick again. Damn! Help me make it trough the night (gladys knight)

I m the firsttttt. Btw your Amazing

Also just noticed your bare footed, is this studio in your home?

Bro. You already know...

Can’t believe I’m listening to this again! It is so soulful...Maybe it has something to do with you performing in your bare feet! Love you baby boy...❤️💋

awesome version but sometimes too many runs hold the notes instead sexy guy

I'm sorry I have to write this. I love You and I love most Your covers but seriously? No one white should ever sing Etta's songs.

He’s doing too much. He’s got a wonderful voice but at the points when there should be more passion he went flat. There was NO SOUL in this performance. I found it flat.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
