from the video Tell them im somebody else" (see my other clips 1-7) Few singers can sing this song. John sings this from his heart and soul.Sheer joy. GOD BLSS YOU JOHN.
one of the greatests poets & artists of XX° century, also if many does't know him., Everythinng in his hands becomes shiny gold, Blues, Rock, Folk, Electronics, Progressive, Rock, Bossa Nova, Jazz & more
He was very special. Is still special. Some very unique songs..unique guitar method. He liked a scrape and living close to the edge. Died like heros die. x
John was a real genius full stop.love every one of his tunes (poems?) very privileged to have seen him in concert.Don't wanna get depressed to have lost him because his music lives for ever with us,and as far as i am concerned he is very much alive ! thank you John.
of all the comments here regarding Jon,,,,, yours brought tears to my eyes. "crazy mother" is right! I had the privilege of seeing him at The Bottom Line late in his life. He was drunk off his gourd. But when he got around to singing a song, only beauty emerged.
No other like you, saw you live 3Xs and each time left awestruck. We’re lucky to have witnessed you & continue to be soulfully moved by you. Miss your earthly presence though 💚🌈💚
everbody who as commented as shown respect iwas fortunate to meet him a great man this track is my favourite interpretationof the lyics you only know jm when you knowlast time i saw him was at basingstoke with danny thompson i think about 2002 he was magical miss you jm thank for your music xxxxxx
John Martyn could take the simplest piece of music and make it sound fantastic. This is a first-class example of what I mean!! Thanks for EVERYTHING you wrote, John. Some of it was not my scene, but, at least it came from the heart!!
david attewell I know why...they probably don't like themselves. ..see nightime comes keith wigley original and ruby tuesday Rolling Stones cover Keith wigley and others. ..all the best...
I was a fan of John's and a fan of this song, but never heard him singing it, until the closing credits of a movie. I stayed seated in the theater until the last note. Does anyone know which film that was. Peace All.
Are you sure it wasn't "you don't know what love is "the Billie Holiday song which was played throughout the credits of the film "The talented Mr Ripley If your playing fulham away with another woman that song will really make you cry. John must have been singing that to someone from his soul and heart but well never know who. Its also the last track on the Glasgow Walker album hope that helps
You might be right, I have heard Chet Baker's version of "You Don't Know What Love Is" many times, I don't remember John Martyn singing it, but I did see "the Talented Mr. Ripley".
Heard him do this live a couple of times, mesmerizing. Have a listen to this version as well ua-cam.com/video/33TyFsfPXnU/v-deo.html Also his cover of Never Let Me Go from the Well Kept Secret album, one of the most amazing performances ever.
Only a few people that can do justice towards this song and he can smash it 10 out of 10 singing from the heart 👏👏❤🏴
This has me close to tears - awesome. I miss the Big Man so much, but his music will live forever.
He was one of a kind. A lot of well known musicians knew he was the real deal.
Amazing man. Takes back years good times 😊
Makes me sad to think John is no longer with us, but his music lives on forever.

Certainly miss the man. Legend!! Still the other day my 7 year old daughter asked "Dad can you put on John Martyn" in the car!!!!
he had it. in spades. The Man. tears me apart with sadness that he's gone.
God them it, tears running over face ... Such an amazing rendition!!!! Thank you John!
Hope you finally found your pot of gold John Rest in peace big man
One of the truly great (and original) artists of our time
'Soul' really doesn't do his voice justice. It goes so much deeper than that. Unique and irreplaceable.
occasionally.. you get someone come along... that is a driven artist... full of inner demons... that can touch your soul.. at the loss of theirs
You have left a beautiful legacy Mr Martyn, Thank you for giving me your heart.
So moving , i miss you mr Martyn.
He was very special. Is still special. Some very unique songs..unique guitar method. He liked a scrape and living close to the edge. Died like heros die. x
