Decided to jam a little after soundcheck on our last day of tour in Porto, Portugal on April 12 2017, with the incredible Logan Evan Thomas on piano. Special thanks to the awesome Tuyet Nguyen for shooting it so quick!
It's 2024 and I am here once again listening to Von Smith. This is such a brilliant cover. What an incredible talent. I can only gush and gush. Where is he now? I tried to Google him and it says if he disappeared from his music career completely. I sure hope not! The world needs a voice like this.
Technically brilliant vocal. This was near damn perfection! The control is mind blowing. I teach voice. Trust me, this guy’s talent is that of a God! Damn. Stunning!
1 the piano player is amazing!! 2. Not only did you kill this, but when you took it to straight r&b at 3:19 on OMG!!! Took me back to the 90's when r&b was the best!!! Fantastic job man. Just beautiful.
I am simply flabbergasted. The purpose of art (in my opinion) is to convey emotion and Von does this flawlessly. The evocation of emotion I felt by watching and listening this video is what all artists (regardless of their medium) should strive for. I can only imagine what it must be like to watch him perform live. I have nothing but happiness for Von when watching this. He is painfully gifted and possibly even more talented. I look forward to seeing and hearing more of his performances. Kudos.
I'm so glad to see you record this version. You sang it as if it were actually 'live.' Had it been live, we would've missed out on so much of your vocal acrobatics as a result of the audience getting too emotional. lol I'm actually considering to start recording like this because the audience get's loud and then you don't get to hear all of the vocal details. lol But that's what fans do! So, thanks! CONTINUE!!
I've just discovered you today, look back in american idol presentations, how you grew from that, they where right about your talentand you just made a perfect maturation of your skills! So happy about you! Wonder to see you with Morgan James and Kimbra!
