The band is TIGHT!!! That little Latin turn around was 🤯
Off the hook!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I wanted to be mad at it, because other ethnicities always take everything that's black! But it was so tight, I couldn't be mad at it. The musicianship is great. Honestly, the only flaw is the female background vocals. Everything else is stellar.
@@adoris864 ..anyway, the song sounds flawless.
Oh I liked the gorgeous girls! They ENHANCED the soloists!
That damn drummer doing his thing...
Tito Pascoal RIP
@@ミゲルアヤラ What happened? He was very young?
Vocals are very PITCHY!!!
The entire band sounds amazing! Great Job👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💕💕💕🔥🔥🔥
Band is extra TIGHT!!!
EWF would be proud about this version!
Absolutely!
That drummer! I felt it in my bones.
The male vocalist has a really fantastic voice.
Two thumbs up!
The background singers weren't that good tho
@@RoeBenJudah lol, I think that was implied. Well, that's how I took it.😄
He looks like Wayne Brady
Agree!!!
Although I'm a little late (like 5 years) I must admit that this rendition of "Can't Hide Love" is the best ever that I've heard since the original version of 1975. As I was searching for some old EWF tunes I found this and can't stop playing it.
Why dont I see this sort of stuff at the Berklee cafeteria anymore? Nikko and Sam Lundell were fabulous.
Killer drummer! Brings to mind, Dennis Chambers, Ronald Bruner jr., Simon Phillips.....
+JoeSzilagy he's good.
My best friend Tito Pascoal is absolutely one of the most complete, versatile and overall killing drummers around!! Thanks for your kind words!
Are you deaf? Drummer wrecks this - non existant groove, overplaying, tempo all over the place!
The best rendition ever! I liked that little Latin move in the middle. What a tight band!
Absolutely Amazing Doing The Greatest Band Ever 💓🙏😉
Awesome live rendition of one of my favorite songs from E.W & F. I think I have listened to this video at least a dozen times in the past year: love to hear more.
When they switch the groove up at 1:45...... love it...
The bass player kicks ass! Just great
And so subtle. He makes it kick, and I'm a drummer!

YESSS!! love your arrangement of 'Can't hide love'
It is incredible the best version of this song hands down and TiTo on drums is absolutely glorious may he rest in peace🙏
@@jamesyoung1012 oh no! I hope that was a typo in your message regarding Tito the drummer who was just killing it in this song. So sorry to hear
@@rodneymosley1626 I wish it was a typo this is extremely sad so young cancer the culprit in his early twenties
Tito had a very special talent in his playing the likes of Jeff Porcaro, Carlo Vega also left us very young in their careers
Keep coming back to this -
it is sooooo Good !
After discovering and being so inspired by this drummer Tito I research this young guys talent to find he has left us ……just felt like crying just heart breaking
God bless your family and Tito and thank you for your particular joy and an uncommon talent
❤️
What an absolutely FABULOUS version of "Can't Hide Love". Brilliant.
最高です😊😊
EXCELLENT
What delious piece of pie, that I just found. Like a good wine stored. Awaesone, I can’tnfind the right words.
Great!
Dope drummer!
This is amazing are the audience at a different venue they are like statues they should be feeling it xx
I won't give up telling you guys that this is the best piece of cake my mouth has ever tasted for such a long time. The black color man has all my respects and regardings. I wish I had a voice such as his. This is the real proof that black life matters and not only for their voices, you are lovely in every way. Big hugs from Mexico city I love your jazz since ever .
I just can say.... WOW!!!
Absolutely fantastic, love it, great cover version of a classic song, I think my favourite version is by the great Kenny Thomas though 👍👌😁
Excelente agrupación gran nivel musical
I don't know the name of the singer who started the song off, but he has a voice to die for. The drummer is awesome. A great version of a great song. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks!😊

Very nice!
OMG! The original with Maurice is a sanctuary to me, unreachable... But these cats are really kicking it, listen to the background singers, wow!
Amazing band ... Amazing bass player ! ;)
Não tenho crítica contra a banda pelo contrário ainda mais quando o ritmo musical e música em questão tem como referência earth wind fire e sempre muito difícil de se executar ...parabéns a banda Paulinho de santos só brazil
This is a pretty good cover. I really liked it and this is a lot coming from an Earth Wind & Fire fan since 1975 when I fell in love to the music of (and with the band of course) "That's The Way of the World" on their LP of the same name. I rarely miss a concert over the years.
I will say that I love your vocal style. It is rich and full and you have a great stage presence. That said there are two things that need improvement. First, you really have to know your lyrics. It matters to your audience. Maybe you were a bit nervous and that's okay. Believe me, I lost an entire harmony once, words and all, in front of about 2,000 people. It was crushing, at the time. Hell, I was in my 20's and everything hurts as an artist at that age! It happens to every singer now and then. But I have a feeling that you can just glide right over it.
The second thing is your backup singers have to learn to be smooth, stay off the trills unless they have a solo. They need to keep their notes clean and back off the mic a bit because they are louder than you, the lead. And that can never work. A backup vocalist must try to mellow out her/his voice to blend with the others and never go sharp (or flat for that matter). I love that they were in the groove and enthusiastic. That will take them far. However, they sounded shrill and sharp. They did not compliment you, the lead, or that kick-ass band that is backing you all up! I have nothing but praise for the band. Very tight and powerful. They really knew their stuff and had clearly practiced quite a bit.
You are very charismatic so you are definitely a good lead. When you open with "You want my love and you can't deny..." It's a very seductive line. You really need to capture your audience with that very first line! The best way to solve those minor issues is that the backup singers should be to the side of the stage area (wherever works) with one monitor so they can hear if they are blending. And you should be out front (hence the word frontman) so people can feel like you know them.....like you are speaking directly to them. And of course, you will need a monitor, too.
All that to say this was an awesome and delightfully fun video. Let the people know where you will be. I am in NH so I may come out to see you guys. Keep doing great things!!! Thank you for this great video. I look forward to seeing more!!!
The main thing I noticed as well was that they chose to sing together instead of trying to back the leading voice. I'd guess that they are a tight band and rotate between singers. However, when a song calls for backup, I agree that the role between backup and the first voice should be clearly accentuated.
Oh yes! This has me smiling ear to ear! Joy to hear! God bless
Bellísimo!!!, perfecto, desde ahora los voy a seguir, since now ill follow you, you aré increidable!!!! Felicidades desde México.

No words to discribe. Ftstic!
