    "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.

    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!

    Ayee, one of my faves in its genre. And wow, nice rendition, Joe! Such a good jam to listen to after a work. Feels like a chill cleanse after a day full of stress.
