He covered one of my favorite Nina Simone's songs and my favorite Screaming Jay's song. It's obvious I have to be his wife. I will take care of him and he will write music next to the fireplace. Oh, the life...
Can i come too? 😂😂
@@gretahendrick2509 And i too?
Marlon is the greatest vocalist of his generation, he voice is both beautiful and inspiring.
I spent hours looking for a respectable live version of this Jay Hawkins' masterpiece, and I came four years later. But I did it! Stunning performance by Marlon. Really on point.
@benjamin Sandoval - This is an amazing performance by Marlin Williams. Check out young Angelina Jordan's rehearsal version of this song she calls "Portrait of a child" - ua-cam.com/video/80f3t3dmBbk/v-deo.html. And if you are a Screamin' Jay Hawkins fan also check out Angelina's cover of "I put a spell on you" - ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html. Best of luck trying not to go down the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole like millions of others have already done!
Stunningly impressive.Saw Marlon & The Yarra Benders on 28/01/23 for the 1st time
We saw him live in Brisbane and had front row and my wife almost wet her self as he sung this before us. He is an amazing singer and performer.
This is like when you give even the very last drop of your soul in performing
I feel like I just hit the music jackpot finding you. This is real music. Wow.
I can't put into words how wonderful this was..
Please come to Portland, Oregon! ❤️
You have an ethereal image :) I hope he came to Portland, Oregon, just for you. Kiss to make up. Peace to keep going.
Sorry for the re-read comment that sounds creepy. Sorry for that. Anyone that has to endure this segment of dead comments should please take the advice from one of suffering experience endure you to know that here and now is not just a turn of phrase. It is a proven way of life. Be prepared to change. Be alive. Peace.

So you must listen to the original version by Screamin Jay Hawkins, delightful
Saw these fellas at King Tuts in Glasgow last night, I have no words to describe how good they all were.
this young blokes the real deal 😊😀 keep singing those blues Marlon 😊
Superb . Best NZ singer for a long long time. Can't wait to see him tomorrow night
Il est habité ce mec! Absolument Génial. Merci
Them some big coconuts boy. Give it another 20 years and you'll eclipse the master. No criticism, just how long this shit takes. Enjoy the ride meanwhile and let it all come to you. Blessings
Beautiful.. the man & his team.
SALUDOS PARA MARLON Y GRACIAS POR DELEITARNOS CON TU MUSICA, QUITO ECUADOR - SUD AMERICA.
managed to catch this is montreal, stumbled into the venue as a clueless tourist. best mistake ever. fucking brilliant cover, thanks for making my wknd!
Great moment!
Saw this guy last weekend at Port Fairy folk festival and he is fabulous, blues, jazz, country, gospel resonance,
I love this so much, when I listen, I listen at least 6 times in a row... I can;t help it... It's so insanely good...
I cannot imaging to see him live... Extraordinary
Wow. Stupendous performance. So organic, and the Benders we're tight.
This track always makes me weep 😢 soo beautiful -nice cover brother!!!! ❤
Holy crap. What an amazing voice.
Amazing
Beautiful voice, a great performer!!!
WTF youtube!?! Six whole years to get here?
Glad I made it.
good god this young man is amazing! I'm double his age an completely blown away!
nice one marlon!
Goosebumps every time i see this
That was just something you can never undo, wow! What an amazing cover.
Most attempts at covering SJH fail, but this is a killer. Bravo!
I bet you would never believe that a 9 year old girl could (or would even want to) cover SJH. You might be surprised by this little girl from Norway. She's has a gift...

Note: I would normally never post on an artist's video about another artist, but this is an unsigned little girl that doesn't sell anything or do shows, so it's not like she the competition or anything. ...and I imagine Marlon would appreciate a young artist like her as well
Beautiful
Well damn. You're got the Mississippi blues in you, kiwi. The real deal. 👍
feel so lucky to have seen him at sxsw! just happen to hear him and went to get a closer look, boy am I glad I did!!!! Amazing!
Touching hearts and souls. Love it.
Просто потрясающее исполнение! И голос завораживает
EXCELLENT... Just pure Excellence! Love so much. Thank You, x
Anything you do, you do it well!,Im really impress because your age, how can you feel the music like that?CONGRATULATIONS MARLON
Something so mesmerising about this performance. I can't stop watching it.
I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man
Who has taken all the heart aches
And all the pain he can stand
I am using all the colors of blue
I have here on my stand
I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man
I can tell he is dying. I see death in his eyes
Oh yes I know, I know when he's crying
'Tis my tears, my tears that he cries
I am so tired of how he feels inside
I mix the paint with my hand
I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man
As I paint a wrinkled brow and hair that is turning grey
Oh tell me how, how can I paint a smile
And eyes that keep turning away?
I am using all the colors of blue
I have here on my stand
I am painting in oil, a portrait and I'm the man
A portrait and I am the man..
Love it!
Absolutely brilliant, love it.
The best cover I have ever seen of a Screamin Jay song!
Amazing cover of the very underrated SJH.
Have you watched 9 years old Angelina Jordan cover of I Put A Spell On You ? ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
Warning: she is very addictive
All hail the new king!
Fearless.
Brilliant job seen these guys perform at longitude festival in Ireland, they where really good!!! Would defo go to see again.
Sublime. Thank you.
Pedazo versión !!!! 😍😍
Best singer ever
I'm hooked on this song. Damn he has talent!
This is so beautiful
Gorgeous
This is just awesome
Holy crap! That was life changing.
Incredible
When you played this at Blue Smoke in Nov. You took us to a special place Marlon! Blessed to see you perform this acoustic and solo! Epic.
Wow! I’m so excited that I found you, you remind me of a soulful 🕺🏼 Elvis. ❤️
Saw this performed tonight in #Sydney @ #OxfordArtFactory and can't let it go. #UNBELIEVABLE. Keep sharing your stories. Can't wait to see what you produce in the future (and to purchase this cover). Thank you Marlon & The Yarra Benders. (and for the photo outside the venue!) Best wishes. Keep the fire burnin'.
+Ray James P.S. Take a look at The Ink Spots and tell me Marlon isn't channeling a fair slice of Bill Kenny. Great stuff.
Hot damn. I wish someone had told me about this. Well, let's hope there'll be more
Marlon, you sound so awesome with this band!and you really rock this song!So good!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am surprised to see how no one else has tried their go at this masterpiece...talking about missed opportunities...
Just Wowwwwwwwwww.
That was an absolutely brilliant performance and cover. Added to my Blues playlist on World United Music and will share with my network later today. 8-)
simply amazing one of the best
gorgeous...
Marvellous song, nice vloice!!! I like so much!!!
He left it all on the stage.

Love this so much!!!
Still so Epic! O M G
You were amazing tonight at The Gov.. one of the best live performances I've seen. Incredible
outch!!!!! sublime
Wow. Just...... wow.
Good stuff.
Damn i love you Marlin
How? Why? How can he be so good?
Amazing talented artist
brilliant
I saw you, Marlon, last night in Wgtn at San Fran. I really like the band. The first, last and I think it was the 4th track when you and the band rocked out for the first time were my favourite songs. That last song was amazing. My least favourite was Jealous Guy. You don't need to do any covers - your original stuff rocks and is much more interesting. Does the band have a name and who is in it? They are great
LEGEND
Too good!
Wow wow wow wow wow wow
I see that you have 3 dates in Germany. Please come to Austria!!!
What I wouldn't give to see this live
This song reminds Tea for One. Great performance.
Blues on my dude!
Auteur d'un premier jet solo (Marlon Williams, 24/04) qui déglace blues, country et bluegrass avec un goût certain pour le tragique, Marlon Williams est ce gamin né à Lyttleton qui totalise, à 25 ans, pas moins de quatre albums déjà sortis avec divers groupes. Mais c'est live que le Néo-Zélandais basé à Melbourne, fils caché, tel que d'aucuns prétendent, d'Elvis, Roy et Townes, se dévoile, sa reprise du Portrait Of A Man de Screamin' Jay Hawkins en assénant la confondante et l'hypnotique preuve.
in love
Wonderful
I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man who has taken all the heart aches, and all the pain he can stand.
I am using all the colors of blue, I have here on my stand. I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man.
I can tell he is dying. O see death in his eyes. oh yes I know, I know when he's crying 'tis my tears, my tears that he cries.

I am using all the colors of blue I have here on my stand. I am painting in oil, a portrait and I'm the man.
A portrait and I am the man.
Bravo
Заебись! Очень артистично!
goog good muito bom
MUITO BOM.
Sehr super

Nobodies here will believe that a 9 yo would jam on “a portrait of a child”, but she did it. Check also her 8 million views B&b studio ‘I Put a Spell on You” by the barefoot princess of Jazz Angelina Jordan Astar. Jazz forever!
You're a brave guy to even attempt this song after the sandblasting Screamin' J gave it. Great job! Do you know who wrote it? Its usually credited to Walter Hawkins. I checked the works of the gospel singer/composer, Walter Hawkins, and its not there. Maybe its a pseudonym of SJH.
❤❤❤
Jay rocks this. i dont think that anyone could sing this one like him. Joy Screamin Jay Hawkins.
Fuck yeah

this is just a parallel of 'since i'v been loving you' by led zepplin
