Music perfection. Every instrument played to perfection, with Sting’s incredible vocals. Wow.
This guitar solo was so moving, it made break down in tears. Even though I’ve heard this song hundreds of times
Every time. One of the best cover songs
That's the late, great Hiram Bullock playing that solo. He was amazing!!
Gets me every single time.
I have to hide my face and pretend something went into my eyes so I can wipe away the tears
..
And listen hundreds more! It’s different than Jimi but two great artists.
Fabulous version of Jimi's iconic Little Wing ...great musicianship too ..
agreed.. had the CD.. no longer.. but it'll always be on my playlist!
that final verse kills me every time ....
it's all right, she said.. "take anything"
Fell in love with this song way before I even knew it was Hendrix. The guitar solo is so badass.
Hiram Bullock, r.i.p.
@@charlesclark3840 I saw Hiram many times in the 90s with David Sanborn. The man knew how to give it all up to the crowd and just KILL on the guitar. SUch a shame how he left us, and way too soon.
A great, ethereal cover. Hiram Bullock killed the solo...
Everything about it is perfect, from fade in to fade out, the guitar, the alto sax, the ;pop; drumming, the cymbal bell, Sting's voice and range, the keyboards, all unsurpassable. Even the fact that you want it to go on, but no,-- there's no self indulgence, it fades out beautifully.
The sax in this blows me away
I spent 2 yrs at the Cancer Treatment Center in Tulsa. Thank God for that place and all the people who work there! They encouraged music therapy! Every night, especially after a rough day, I would listen to this song, followed by SRV's Riviera Paradise! Would lull me into a perfect night's sleep!
Debbie Dunn That is a beautiful story. I am so glad that you are still with us, and that this music-this beautiful music-was able to help you make it through your troubles.
Both this and Riviera Paradise give me chills they're so beautiful. Two of my obsessive songs. Strange that someone else would pick those two out. I'm so glad your okay.
hope your alll better now
God bless you debbie
2:33 - 2:45 is the most elegant, classy and just plain badass musical transition ever ;-)
I agree... Except for that terrible snare drum fill
Truth
nel bene e nel male una delle più belle cover del decennio. con Gil Evans alla regia, Sting fa una lezione, da musicista a musicista, su un classico del (suo) passato prossimo. il passaggio del testimone da Bullock (un assolo perfetto, scritto nota su nota) al soprano di Marsalis è uno dei più emozionanti degli anni '80.
Un incantesimo...
The best solo ever done on a cover of this song...period. And that includes everyone else that's covered it....RIP, Hiram. Goddamn, we miss you.
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Robert Glen no
doozerace
Indeed the absolute best. It totally kills the others in every way.
Yeah, as fluid as this solo is, SRV is other level.
jeff beck
What a beautiful song. This song is my Mrs, when I am sad , she comes to me , with a thousand smiles she gives to me free
What an amazing version. I first heard it 30 years ago. My band is working it up now. Stings arrangements are so iconic! Thanks Sting!
I guess it is Gill Evans touch here 😶
One voice in a hundred million
The whole song is perfect but that sax solo💝💝💝💝...yes my man better ask me to dance as soon as it starts. Thanks Sting & co. WELL DONE!!!🎤🎤🎵🎼
Guitarist 's solo is the beginning of a series of events
A friend and I attended a concert in the tour supporting this album. Probably the best concert I've ever been to. I'll have to dig it out and give it a fresh listening.
This whole album is pure gold. And this cover just wonderful. Love you Sting
I think this amazing guitar player's name is Hiram Bullock. I have been a musician for over 30 years and i must say, one of the best pieces of work on guitar i've ever heard.
One of my favorite solos on the guitar EVER. Hiram Bullock RIP.
Yes it's mine too!
It's a fabulous thing
Sting made this tune accessible to everyone. Incredible arrangement, version, guitar solo....my favorite.
Loren Cosby It's such a beautiful rendition, it's sublime.
The version by the Corrs is very good too. It doesn't hurt that the girls in that band are drop-dead gorgeous :)
Excellent point
Yup 😉
Love, love, love how Hiram Bullock's guitar solo ends and Branford Marsalis's soprano sax solo begins. Mark Egan plays a perfectly-placed run down the bass right at that spot and Kenwood Dennard hits a wide open FLAM (pop) on the snare drum, as if to put an exclamation mark at the end of Bullock's solo. Simply Superb!
stephen dwyer What? I have no idea what you just said. Are you saying that's a drum machine on Little Wing? Get back to me with something I can read.
drewper73 Stephen is a moron. There is no better pool of artists to listen to than that Sting surrounds himself with. The guitar to sax transition has always been the highlight of the song for myself as well.
Erik Flesher Drum machine? Load of pish.
You. Are. Mad.
Lol.
Reminds me of a wonderful Australian I met about 33 years ago. He played this wonderful cassette for me. I’ll never forget
This is my favorite version of Little Wing. The guitarist played amazing. Just amazing.
Dominic Miller is the guitarist. He's an unsung Hero.
ronnieanand Dominic miller is a great guitarist. Hiram Bullock played this solo however.
por lo que leo en los comentarios es Hiram Bullock. cool!!!!
Yes!!!!!!
Arjun Kaul I agree with you 100%!!
A friend showed me this theme 30 years ago.
He had just seen Sting in Madrid.
A big greeting to friends all over the world!
Cheers!
Amazing version. Greetings from Sicily
By far the best version of Little Wing. It's very sexy.
WOW...Hiram Bullock's playing is absolutely amazing ... great cover by sting .
Hiram was also a sweet funny genius ...RIP sweet one
Such a jazzy, brooding, beautiful cover.
Out-of-this-world guitar solo... R.I.P. Hiram Bullock.... But you nailed it with the adjective "brooding." Spot on.
Love this version of this song! Especially the guitar solo! Rip Hiram.
great guitar solo ......great voice , STING !!
I wouldn't say this is the best cover of Little Wing because each of them is peculiar. This is surely great
RIP great Hiram Bullock
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard Serendipitous
The best version of this beautiful song.
You are missed Hiram Bullock. Too soon, not enough knew your work. Rest in peace, brother.
One of the most awesome guitar solos I've ever heard. What a talent!
My favourite version of the song with one of my favourite guitar solos of all time
I Totally Agree!
ilovemypiano This was the first version of this song I'd ever heard. When "Nothing Like the Sun" came out, I did not know that this was a Jimi Hendrix song first. So this one got cemented as my initial impression of how this song should sound. And of course, sung in Sting's incomparable voice, it's sublime. I'll always love this one most of all.
Shiron Binyamini I did not know that. I had never really known anything at all about his backup band, actually. So sad.
My favorite too
Hiram Bullock on guitar is incredible !!!!!!!!!!!! I know him during the Jaco time!
Incredible song.
That voice, those drums, that bass, that guitar solo, and then how the sax merges back in at 2:34 is freaking music magic. And hat's off to the keys and other "hidden" instruments and the sound guys who recorded this gem with such crisp perfection. Seeing Sting 2021 concert tour in a few weeks. Can't wait.
So much emotion in this song. Everybody got it right . Enough said.
Stings take on a fantastic song, such a classic yet he knowws a way to make it one of his own in his most pretentious period, he had the balls & it worked out just fine
fuckin brilliant in fact as it is
This is the best cover I’ve heard. SRV took little wing and made into SRV’s “Little Wing”. It wasn’t a cover.
Favorite version of this song! So beautiful and gentle🌹
Bravo! ❤💕
Uomini che fanno sognare....e battere il cuore....
Un bacio anche a Jimi.....🌷
In the wonderful song Brandford Marsalis in his short speech exalt this song, with a sublime soprano sax voice, i have listened and listened to this song for years because this series of notes performed by him has no equal.
on of the best albums in the history
I really like how the guitar solo morphs into the sax solo
Randall Frank If you like that, please listen to Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut."
There is a part in the song "The Gunner's Dream," where the vocals meld into a saxophone solo. It's so beautiful. You'll find it at the 2:00 point in the song.
Many years ago, my now deceased best friend, Matt, pointed it out to me and every time I hear it I think of him.
I hope that by sharing it with you, I will have spread some joy. Please write back if you end up listening to the song.
peacefuljeffrey awesome beautifully written and played love it
peacefuljeffrey Roger’s voice ruined that album.
Great driving song!!!!!🦋🦋🌙🌙
Questo magnifico brano collega il magico periodo degli anni migliori in assoluto.
Having worked as a roadie for nearly thirty yesrs I had the priviledge to be on tour with the great Hiram Bullock twice. The first one shortly after the release of "nothing like the sun", with a band called "Bush Rock" also featuring Delmar Brown. Te second tour, in 1995, was a U.S.O. set that took us to several USAF bases around Europe. with the great late Steve Logan on bass. I forget the name of the drummer, but the three of them were really incredible. Hiram played "the human juke-box", revising ANY song upon request, and the show would go on forever until someone chucked us out of the place.
I keep fond memories of those days and the rough travelling with military transports and all the backstage and dressing room jokes we shared, and it's so sad both Hiram and Steve have left this world.
Its a shame Hendrix was with us for a short time. He was a genius and I can only imagine how much more he could created. This is a beautiful song and Sting does it better than anyone. its brilliant !
Hacina merci ma grande sœur. Un été comme celui-là !! L’annÉric d’avanT déjà !!! BB os : Zagarrooo !!!!
I was listening to the song and others while I had very small children and it gave me great relief!
The tension in this song has a lot of healing powers. Thank you Sting and thank you Jimmy Hendrix. Love you. M.
The best Hendrix cover. Ever.
+Jay Man Agreed, but check out Manic Depression by Jeff Beck and Seal. Good shit!
matt4270 Will do!
Cover is best on this planet but its not a song by Hendrix. Bob Dylan wrote this one.
Hendrix wrote it. maybe you are thinking of All Along The Watchtower, which Dylan wrote
Best Hendrix cover he & the Experience EVER DID was a studio improv of Gloria 💗😎💗😎🤘 Jimi taking creative liberties with the lyrics just enough & eight plus minutes long! I've blown SO many minds playing it & YES it's on iTunes!
30 years ago .....i was 13 ....i was full of life and hope listening to this .....now i m empty....and devasted....and music wont be the reason that will save my life unfortunatly .
I was 13 when I fell in love with this song.
Me 14
It still thrills me as if i returned to my teenage years.....
The solo section, and the blend between them, is the most beautiful moment of this song. Hats off to the drummer, Kenwood Dennard, for beautifully complementing both solos. The way the kick and accented cymbals build at the climax of the first solo and then soften for the second really helps that blend which could have seemed so disjointed with 2 such different solos. Beautiful music.
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairy tales,
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind
When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It's alright, she says
It's alright
Take anything you want from me
Anything
Fly on, little wing
... Angel came down from heaven yesterday
She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday,
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
And then she spread her wings high over me
She said she's gonna come back tomorrow
And I said "fly on my sweet angel,
Fly on through the sky,
Fly on my sweet angel,
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side"
Sure enough this morning came on to me
Silver wings silhouetted against the child's sunrise
And my angel she said on to
"Today is the day for you to rise,
Take my hand, you're gonna be my man,
You're gonna rise"
And then she took me high over yonder
And I said "fly on my sweet angel,
Fly on through the sky,
Fly on my sweet angel,
Forever I will be by your side... for Love
copyrights* thanks twice Jimy and Gordon
Grande Sting, várias lembranças, bons momentos!!!
Love his music. He did a good job with this song!!
Still on my favorites from the development years. Nothing Like The Sun, was and endured to be a brilliant album that inspired and followed me unto the present day.
I love the Marsalis solo too...
Would have loved to hear Prince's take on the Hiram Bullock solo. Such an amazing talent taken much too soon.
Una delle canzoni più belle 💕
I had this on vinyl for years and it was a great song to zone out to, Gil Evans did this about 6 months before he died. Nice send off.
This guitar solo by Hiram Bullock will always be one of my favorites.
My favorite forever...if you don’t like this then you and your head have problems.
I loved it all those years ago and still do. Great vocals and very atmosheric
Amazing..
Rip grizz, rip my sister, my best friend and sister died and songs like this really make me miss them so fuckin much
bass is underrated. whole orchestration amazing.
I always liked this version as the best. I devoted it to my daughter, cause her mother delivered her the first night we met on a ground of snow in a place nothing more than how simple conditions can be or how long the extension can remain as love is in our hearts and forever.
Sting Little Wing is one of my personal favorite song
SOLO GUITAR HIRAM BULLOCK , GREAT , R.I.P.
Play LOUDLY! Wake up your wife or your Husband! Get their ass up and dance to a beautiful song!
Hiram Bullock. Damn. What a fantastic player!
My 18 yrs... if it wouldnt be an intro solo of Jimi, virtually original can only seem to be a shadow of this brilliant cover. Intro is a masterpiece itself. Jimi, Gil, Sting, Hiram, Branford and all guys thanks God bless you.
Even Jimi would love this remake of his original song!
Magical guitar playing!
It was probably like 1987 and I used to play this cassettes over and over and over again. The whole album was good but this song affected me completely. I still cry. It's so beautiful....Stings delivery the vibe of the band, the guitar and saxophone solos, why does it make me weep?
Rest in peace Hiram Bullock - you left us with a wonderful guitar solo!
Great version and i love when the soprano sax kinda sneaks in at the end of the guitar solo!
I've had this song on my mind for days now.. singing it over and over again.. my daughter thought I was nuts.. and asked me if it was really a song.. now she loves it too !
Great version! Seen him live in Wembley back in 1987 or so, and it was preformed so damn well.
This song has been covered by all time great... Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Sting. Each has done a wonderful job putting their own personal touches on an amazing song. These are great embellishments to one of Hendrix's simple, emotional masterpieces.
there's this boring Corrs cover mate! still struggling to understand why they released it...
Jimi Hendrix would be so, so proud of this offering by Sting. Fit for the Gods.
Little wing has been done by many. SRV and Jimi tear it up on guitar but noone sings it better than Sting.
Fab version of Hendrix's song, i like it more than the original.
But Jimi’s genius created it....
me too, and i am a great Hendrix fan...
this is the soundtrack to my first love...
Jimi Hendrix' Mother inspired this song . Its deeply personal & untouchable .
Yet this cover is a gift to the world ! Stings quote " songs are not written in stone - they are living breathing entities .. " Alchemical process indeed
Bass drums guitar.... amazing song. Wont choose between SRV version or this one, love both.
.. real magic here .. no matter how many times I listen it always takes me .. hmm "walking through the clouds" .. LOL !!! .. and what an encourager of talent Sting is .. bringing out the best in so many .. there are many wondrous versions of this song .. this one has its own special place .. and just like there's 'nothing like the sun' there's nothing quite like what happened in the studio on this particular day .. Jimi would be so proud ...
yep
I can hear some Pink Floyd in this solo, simply great.
I said the same thing - dark side of the moon came to mind.
The descending line @2:32 is very Gilmourish, so well spotted! The chorus/pitch effect adds a bit extra to that Gilmour sound also. Apart from that, this solo is totally unique in my opinion with no generic playing. A masterpiece by Hiram Bullock.
meravigliosa
I have loved every cover of this song I have ever heard. This is spectacular. Thanks for sharing.
Maravilhosa versão , uma obra prima , jazz de primeira 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👉🏻😍
Оригинальная песня Джимми Хендрикса!!!!!
When I first heard this I didn't even know who Hendrix was, save by name.... to this day this version is my favorite of all the ones I've ever heard. Happy Birthday to Sting, my favorite all-time musician.
Love Hiram Bullocks guitar solo on this,may he rest in peace,great cover all around
From 2:49 to 2:52 Brandford is God. I can barely believe that he improvised that: Dsus4/Gm11b13/Dmaj7 13, on Bm7/Bbm7/Am7. Played in triplets. But I believe that. :)
Pelle d'oca....❤️
