this just touched something in my soul don't know what it is but it's making me a bit teary eyed. It feels like she's singing her entire soul it's not a performance it's her unleashing her soul.
her version gives the song a completely new direction, knowing that she did this after her husband's death. I don't know about you guys but I feel a bit the blues present but at the same time it's uplifting, like she'd be saying with a soft smile: "I have no other choice but to go on and I'm looking forward now. it's the way it is." Corinne, you rock!
This almost made me cry... we need more artist like this, we need more music like this. Just simply flawless, And Im only 14 and I relize this! I aspire to be like Corinne Bailey Rae
Back six months later. Corinne's version still touches and moves me just as it did when I first heard it. 04.19.2022 Back again in November 2023!! 😁 Listening like it's my first time. Still amazed. Still smh in awe. ❤🎤 🎹 🎵🎶 📯❤
i found this accidently about a year ago....., after being diagnosed with liver cancer (well, active cancer cells in my liver, just found out today) i've come back to listen to this about 10 times...tosay, i feel her emotion....and that's why this such a beautiful version...her emotion.....
🤭🤭🤭Go head Corinne! Go head girrrrl! Y'all SANG that song!!! Yessssssss!!! Whew!!!!!! I sure hope the original writers and Doris Day (before she passed away) had an opportunity to hear this Soulful version! Mannnnn Oh Mannnnnn Oh Mannnnnn.....ABSOLUTELY ONE of THE BEST renditions and boy, are there many! I just found that out today!
If I thought I would hear music as good as this at somewhere like Glastonbury I'd be there lie a shot but the thought of paying out piles of money to sleep in a muddy field for three days and listen to bands whose music just doesn't do it for me doesn't exactly appeal, but this is one of the most soulful bits of music I've heard in years, and I am a soul man through and through, but even better is the fact that she's a Leeds lass and if I go into town for a drink you're quite likely to see her out or possibly even hear her jamming with friends. Quality in every respect.
Stumbled onto this video and boy am I ever glad I did....never heard of her until now....she is amazing! She is not only beautiful but also extremely talented! I really enjoyed the guy singing along with her too. He is wonderful. The song is an old one but their interpretation made it brand new!! Thanks for uploading and now I have to go listen to everything I can manage to find by Corinne Bailey Rae!!! I will google her to learn more about this artist!
th***** This is Sly's arrangement...wow, I must be getting old. I'm trying hard to remember them singing this. I can 'hear' them singing it, but I'm not sure if that's actual memory or my mind 'creating' the song based on all their incredible sounds that are floating around in my head. I suppose in the end it doesn't really matter though. Corinne's performance has it's own special charm, and even Doris Day's rendition is special, albeit because of its association to the film, The Man Who Knew Too Much. But thank you so much Kimberly for the information about Sly. How's he doing, by the way? I remember a few years ago he was broke and living in his car. So sad.
I didn't know he was broke and living in his car which is all the more reason why I feel it was worthy of being mentioned. I often wonder how so many original singers wound up destitute. So sad.
***** Yeah, sad indeed. But musicians and drugs have such a long and destructive connection and I remember seeing Sly way, way back in the day, at the Spectrum in Philly, and it was hard to believe that some of them - especially the drummer, as I recall - could even remain conscious let alone play so well. Also regarding Corinne's lovely covers, after I read your post I listened to her version of "I Only Have Eyes For You" and it's definitely a salute to The Flamingos' classic...sha bob sha bop...I couldn't find anything recent on Sly, but I have a feeling he's not still living on the street. There's a documentary, "Dance To The Music" that I've never seen but since it's dated 2008 I doubt it would contain anything that would help anyone find out where he is and what he's doing today.
***** this song was written in 1956, and has been covered by so many in so many different ways. Why can't you just acknowledge the sheer talent on that stage?
@matthewmwolff - Thanks for identifying the arrangement! I did not realize this is the version that was recorded by Sly & The Family Stone. I agree it's an amazing performance nonetheless.
WHOA!!! One of the most beautiful performances she's ever done. You could definitely see all the emotion in her face while she sang.......she really let us have it ;)
Thank You for this! Just heard a portion of this on a commercial and all I could think of was my Mom. Just found your video and Love this! thank you as I ball my eyes out. I miss her so
This performance which is simply awesome (her and the band and the very fantastic John McCallum) makes me feel that she is a talent comparable to Nina Simone and will be rocking it out until she falls off the perch. Love, love. love her.
I have listened to this vid for a year now---can't get enough! She' a brilliant star on this earth! Her beauty and grace only surpassed by her wondrous talent-- just sayin...
Saw her at Somerset House last nite - absolutely awesome gig. She finished with this - blew me away. Hoped I would find it on CZcams - thanks for posting, IMO her cover of this song is just genius.
I must confess, I find the last two comments a tad funny. It is exactly because it is the Sly & Family Stone adaptation that this incredible performance is so beautiful. In my opinion: the best "secular gospel" ever. SG
4:09 Look at Corinnes face. When the music takes you there, that´s the best feeling in the world. What´s it all about, what you strive for. Nothin´ beats that feeling, not drugs, sex, recognition. Nothing.
This is the Sly and the Family Stone version. This song has a lot of gospel and blues in it. She doesn't have a voice that fits this song but she still did a great job with it.
@theloniousMac She never said she wrote it or arranged it.. Beautiful none the less, I love they're version and like you said it was recorded before she was born, all she did was bring it into this generation for those who never knew how great of a song it is..
My grandmother came from France, and my mother learned how to speak French before she leaned how to speak English. She used to tell me Que, Sera, Sera, ( what ever will be, will be) When I went to kinder garden I used that phrase. Then people laughed at me. I was confused. I thought it was English. Oh, well.
10 years later and this she still moves me with this song 💛
I absolutely agree
I am here every year😢❤😍
Wow I got goosebumps from this performance!!! They took this song to church!!🙌🏾🙌🏾
This Lady reaches all past, present and future generations... Her voice her style and her poise will NEVER grow old... WORD!!!
this just touched something in my soul don't know what it is but it's making me a bit teary eyed. It feels like she's singing her entire soul it's not a performance it's her unleashing her soul.
The fact she changed the lyrics to ‘I asked my lover... will I be lonesome’ 😭 strong woman ✨🙏
Honestly keep coming back for John McCallum...that voice ❤️
YES!!!!
she is gorgeous and her voice
👌
I recently found this version and can't stop coming back to listen to the performance. Amazing band, singers and I love the guitarist voice! 👏👏👏👏👍👍😁
Kimmy T she's doing a fabulous job of Sly and the family Stone's version...check it out!
her version gives the song a completely new direction, knowing that she did this after her husband's death.

Back again in November 2023!! 😁 Listening like it's my first time. Still amazed. Still smh in awe.
❤🎤 🎹 🎵🎶 📯❤
She actually took Sly and The Family Stones’ version and added another layer of groove on top… Amazing version.
i found this accidently about a year ago....., after being diagnosed with liver cancer (well, active cancer cells in my liver, just found out today) i've come back to listen to this about 10 times...tosay, i feel her emotion....and that's why this such a beautiful version...her emotion.....
Mamad Thomas are you still with us??❤️
I simply love this collaborative cover. Dude sounds like Mr. Sly Stone.
You can feel her pain as she sings the second verse. She's a strong woman and her story makes this cover that much greater.
Que voz , que talento, que mulher...... 🎷🎺🎸❤❤❤❤❤❤
i think shes covering sly & the family stone's rendition. my fav version.
Exactly, and no much more. Diseapointed here.
I think so to. But only Sly and the Family Stone can sing this for me. But she did a good job at singing it.
Yep
Going to see this amazing lady in three weeks. Can't wait 😁
She has such gorgeous hair!! & voice :-)
🤭🤭🤭Go head Corinne! Go head girrrrl! Y'all SANG that song!!! Yessssssss!!! Whew!!!!!!

Mannnnn Oh Mannnnnn Oh Mannnnnn.....ABSOLUTELY ONE of THE BEST renditions and boy, are there many! I just found that out today!
love this she did a great job of covering my favorite version of this song made possible by the funk masters, Sly and the Family Stone
I agree it is very difficult considering this was a song originally written for Doris Day.
@@avrilarteagapuente2701 Doris Day and Sly Stone were hanging out together during the time when he recorded this.
She is absolutely beautiful and ethereal behind that mic. My girl crush on her just grew a million times over.

Been listening to this on repeat this past week, ridiculously amazing
She is absolutely gorgeous
nice to know my favourite artist is singing my mom's lullaby to me ): when i was little. Wish she had an official audio
Artists like C.B. Rae make me know that true musical artistry hasn't completely gone away.
that white guy has soul in his voice
I used to think he was black lol
@@lungilejenniferngubane2633 He's a Scot.
Yeahhh i First Heard without seen the video, thinking he was Black
Wow. All these years thought this was a black man sangin! Go ahead man!!
The man on the guitar and sang and play and the guy on the piano is giving me life!!!!!!!!!
Holy shit, she's fucking beautiful
I absolutely love her hair like this
Love this rendition.

Stunning. Saw this lady live a couple of months back. Fantastic ❤️
She's fantastic! And what an arrangement of this charming song.
Doug Wild this song is actually an arrangement of sly and the family song. i wish it was corinne's original cover but it's not.

her voice is just... silky and smooth and heavenly :3
I've seriously lost count of how many times I watched this video. Just amazing!
I can't stop singing this song... I love this song and this version of it.... Corinne Bailey Rae

Sing it Girl ! So Beautiful and Talented ! You Put your soul in whatever you're singing. WoW !
This is a great revision of this song, very emotional.
This performance which is simply awesome (her and the band and the very fantastic John McCallum) makes me feel that she is a talent comparable to Nina Simone and will be rocking it out until she falls off the perch. Love, love. love her.
pure peace, with the wind blowing in your hair! love
I have listened to this vid for a year now---can't get enough! She' a brilliant star on this earth! Her beauty and grace only surpassed by her wondrous talent-- just sayin...
Her band is off the chain. They have a beautiful sound together. Hope to hear her live one day.
Saw her at Somerset House last nite - absolutely awesome gig. She finished with this - blew me away. Hoped I would find it on CZcams - thanks for posting, IMO her cover of this song is just genius.
I was blown away by this. Made my day
Claire
I'm addicted. This cover is amazing.
Ive always been a Corinne Bailey Rae fan but when she took out the guitar I fell in love.
Beautiful music. Beautiful voice. Beautiful woman. Just beautiful all told.
She closed w/this in Toronto in April..her and the band..were the best!!
Best concert 4 me in 2010....
i can't get enough of this performance
I love this rendition
Saw her perform this at The Royal Festival Hall, great version, and the guy on backing vocals really adds another dimension.
I must confess, I find the last two comments a tad funny. It is exactly because it is the Sly & Family Stone adaptation that this incredible performance is so beautiful. In my opinion: the best "secular gospel" ever. SG
this is amazing..... i cant stop watchig this
I was blown away by this. Made my day
No, her husband died in 2008, but she still wears the ring in memory. RESPECT!
Bellisima cancion wooow!
Bellidima! Wooow!

+Blanca Beaumont I agree
4:09 Look at Corinnes face. When the music takes you there, that´s the best feeling in the world. What´s it all about, what you strive for. Nothin´ beats that feeling, not drugs, sex, recognition. Nothing.

This is the Sly and the Family Stone version. This song has a lot of gospel and blues in it. She doesn't have a voice that fits this song but she still did a great job with it.
He can blow(really sing)
Such a wonderful vibe❤❤❤❤
An amazing voice this woman was gifted with.

A young, uber chic Diana Ross minus the insanity. An all round fantastic performance by Corinne and the supporting musicians. The soul was oozing
Gorgeous Girl... Amazing Voice. I Love her!!

Awh, mesmerizing, beautiful woman, beautiful voice with a beautiful soul. Who is the key board guy singing. He's awesome!
Steve Brown, her husband, but I'm from the future :)
god she is so gorgeous
I need to experience this woman live once-she is what dreams are made out of
U will be transformed. I was. She is excellent
The moment a 5:20 is just beautiful. She really feels the music.
@theloniousMac She never said she wrote it or arranged it.. Beautiful none the less, I love they're version and like you said it was recorded before she was born, all she did was bring it into this generation for those who never knew how great of a song it is..
This cover is really brilliant! It reminds me of Joe Cocker's famous cover of "A Little Help from my Friends."
czcams.com/video/xGkWuZxuP-4/video.html
You should thank Sly Stone. This is an exact replica of his version.
She's so gorgeous and her voice wow i'm speachless
I would love to see her in concert
I saw her in D.C. in August .. She was Spectacular
What is the name of the guitarrist? Your voice is very awesome!!
Joe McCollum ;-)
Beautiful I love her voice..
i love u corinne bailey rae you are number one

She used to tell me Que, Sera, Sera, ( what ever will be, will be) When I went to kinder garden I used that phrase. Then people laughed at me. I was confused. I thought it was English. Oh, well.
+Michele Travis thought it was spanish for whatever will be, will be. lol
it is
Oh goodness..gorgeous!!
Que sera sera it´s portuguese, not french
Is portuguese, from Brasil.
WTF SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL HERE !!
Beste Version, die ich je gehört habe
This woman has my heart
The GUITARIST'S VOICE! OMG!!!!!!!!
Her last cd was a disappointed compared to the first one, but this song is well done. Bravo. The man accompanying her is excellent!
OMG!!!!!! Corinne sings it so well :-)
Her smile is just the best thing
theres only 1 word for this: greatness
