ain't no sunshine

[Shamonee]

does anyone else think that michael's vocals are brilliant in this song?

i was just listening to this now, and my gosh. :bugeyed

very moving song, especially what with him being, what? - 8 years old?

 

[raisa]

hmm, I think he was at least 11 years old but I really do like this song!

he puts so much feeling in it too!

He's more like 14 on that song, lol. But none the less, it's a brilliant vocal performance. Any 14 year old with that kind of command over their voice is very special. He was 8 or 9 when he recorded "Big Boy", and equally as impressive for such a young age. His diction, the emotion and the control he had at that age was uncanny.

 

[Jabz]

My favourite version of the song.

 

[Dr.Feelgood]

Yes, one of my favs and I love "you've got a friend" also

 

[helena22]

one word: soulful

I wonder whether Bill Withers heard the version and commented on it?

 

[Cinnamon234]

I love Michael's version. One of the best cover's i've heard of that song. Michael sounds so soulful in it. Brilliant.
