Video uploaded when i was 17, found it when i was 19 when i was a talkbox fanboy and now i'm 30 over being a talkbox fanboy but find myself coming back to listen to this every now and again. This track is such a great de-stressor

Excellent. I really love the groove to your version of this song... it's a classic song that I've loved since 1970. I would like to purchase a copy of the song... or get a download.
I've also watched this video about 100 myself. I am always amazed with Tristan's talent and his talkbox expertise. Several others have done talkbox versions of this song... but none are as good as Tristan's... not even close.
love the version of yours in the talkbox 😭😭, i knew this song from Frank first, and then listened to all the versions out there for this song, this is really really good😭🤝 ( I love you how you like comments even from 6 days ago, appreciate your work 😤)
Blue I just read your webpage. Very inspiring. I am an english major and now i am going to double major in music. I hope the best for you in the music industry. joseph
Yes indeed. Tristan Luke definately has wat it takes to make it big. we mos definately need a great RnB talk box master. I believe he can influence all races and ages. Reach for the stars, man!
you seriously need a record deal I so agree with RASTAH ..best version of this song since stevie your solos are so creative serious this is REALLY GOOD
pboxelement, it's really an honor to hear you say these things. Based on your videos, like Mr. Hathaway's The Ghetto, I think you're going to make great choices, and that you have real potential. Please keep me posted. Enjoy! -t
You guys rock for leaving these comments. Please feel free to download the high quality version from my website. It's free, and will download quickly. Much better sounding! Thanks again.
wolfgangwolfe, thank you for your kind words! i didn't know what would happen when i released this. It's so great to connect with people through my music.

Might I add that there is a level greatness of music, and that you are above that level. I wish to be as good as you are one day, though I'm sure that your talents grow more and more with every song. I don't know how to play piano, but I am going to learn soon in addition to trumpet and french horn. I was going to wait to learn piano a little longer, but seeing this made me want to learn a lot sooner. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for posting this! I have been waiting for a full length version of the song for a while. From the looks of it you are a talented musician your movement up and down the keyboard is quick but smooth and on beat/time! I like it bro! I will be playing this song on th talkbox as soon as i learn the notes. I'm a fresh starter on the talkbox and i have 2 vids but im exited about doing this song next! Favorited!
Hey, kaufmann. Thanks so much for the kind words, and thank you to all below. Yes, my friend i arranged the Bacharache song, composed the intro and played all the parts myself. Drums are the exception; i programmed those. I'm a drummer but sometimes choose to program rather than play a part. I spend a lot of time putting the groove together. I'm looking forward though, to when i am set up to just play my parts. Thanks again.
@danceryyxc Thank you! Sure, I used a Korg Triton LE for the talkbox part, with a Rocktron Banshee talkbox. For the synth solo in the beginning and in the end I quickly turned on and off a Roland SH-32 virtual analog synth. I had the Korg patch tweaked to give a lot more filter resonance during the bridge, and set so I could switch it. That's why it's more skwawky there. The background track I arranged and played by hand. Thank you for your kind words. ; ) -T
