    "and I miss your *kinky* hair"... LOVE this rendition and how you made it your own. Amy's birthday is next week 9/14, I feel like she's looking down and grinning ear to ear from up above. Thanks for keeping her legacy alive. ☺️🕊

    i haven't uploaded a video in a while because i had laryngitis for almost a month. i was invited by Stevie Mackey to sing at the famous "Taco Tuesday" event in LA (that version is their youtube channel). Such a great experience. I decided to cover Valerie there, even though my voice was very hoarse and i didn't know the words by heart lol. now that my voice is better, i decided i could give another swing at this beautiful song!

    Come on missing her "kinky" hair. I appreciated that addition ❤ I thoroughly enjoyed this. This is one of my favorite Amy Winehouse songs you did a good job capturing this with your own warmth and tone and throwing in Anthony Hamilton's Charline... (another favorite) at the end was good story telling.

That song...actually your cover of it spoke to me so much when I was going through a pretty rotten time. I remember sitting in my car looking out at the ocean singing along with you and reminding myself. I just wanted you to know that. And sending much love to you.

    For anyone interested, I think that these are the chords he's playing:
    Verse: "Well sometimes... in my head I paint a picture"; (Bb7M, Cm7) x2
    Pre-Chorus: "''Cause since I've come on home... Why don't you come on over Valerie"; (Eb, Dm)x3, F, Bb7M
    Chorus: "Valerie" Cm7, Bb7M, Cm7
    Bb7M: X-13-15-14-15-13
    Cm7: X-15-17-15-16-15
    Eb: 11-13-13-12-11-11
    Dm: 10-12-12-10-10-10
    F: X-8-10-10-10-8 (? not 100% on this one, hard to see his hands)
    And it looks like he has a capo on the 1st fret. For anyone curious its 7 half steps up from the original key! Cheers!
