    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...

    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!

      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

    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..

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

    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.

    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.
