No joke. I heard the commercial, Shazammed the song. I found out Steve is not only Nigerian, but also my Nigerian father’s doppleganger!!! It choked me up so much because my dad passed away some years ago.

@@christopherruelas9058 yes that’s exactly how it felt. Everyone stopped and was just grooving. I remember looking around and every single face in the crowd was smiling and bobbing their head
@@sziya7 Im just saying I would not know about it. And being covered by Frank Ocean does help with turning the tune into mainstream audiences. Im sure it was a big tune at it’s time but it has gotten huge.
Me and my wife were there waited for hours for Frank Ocean. Didn’t move and the crowd grew bigger and bigger and when he came on it was magical! Everybody was dancing to this song it was the best!
just be happy hes bringing awareness to a great song🤷♂️i wouldnt have found the original if not for franks cover, and right away when i heard it i knew it wasnt a frank ocean song lol..
I appreciate him covering this even though the Theophilus London and Tame Impala version is seriously the best jam I've heard in the past year. Look it up.
Nah at least Frank’s Vocals add a different dynamic, the Theo and Tame Impala version is just a straight remake. There’s genuinely no need for it to exist. The original is undisputedly the best
Let’s be fair: it’s not like a Nigerian post-disco funk song by a one-hit wonder from 40 years ago is exactly something ‘everyone who knows music knows’. It’s a fire song, but it’s obscure. I’m just thankful a modern artist is reaching into the crates and returning amazing music to a newer generation
Must be the only person in 2022 to look back at this classic. I’m pretty surprised that Frank ocean did a cover of this funky song. I sure wish frank does another concert sometime this year.
Ahahahaha look at that bunch of gucci-rap-conditioned people hearing real music on a concert for the first time in their young lifes 😍🎵💜🎶🙈🌠 maybe you are not that lost after all 😹🙏
Man I saw this live 2017 in Orono Ontario at music festival spike jones was filming this shit was wild then frank was gone I can only describe the experience as magical like seeing a unicorn or Bigfoot

I would have absolutely lost my mind if I witnessed this live
this is gem. iykyk !
same
I ALMOST went to one of the shows where he performed this ... and agree 100%.
I was there at Wayhome when he performed this. Can confirm, I lost my mind.
That’s I thought
Give the bass man a medal
Ben reed
Cool
Dude is going OFF, this is so dope
Absolute respect. After recently discovering Steve Monite and how underrated I feel he was, the fact Ocean is covering it makes me so happy
Preach!
respect? my ears are bleeding..

Same here! This is a fucking jam 🔥
Wow thank you AMEX commercial for leading me here
That’s the power of music. Gotta love it. #rightfrequency
😮 seriously had to Shazam this bop. Love finding new music

That's lovely! Life always has a way of making us remember the things that mean most to us. Embrace them and enjoy them ❤
Nice of Frank to introduce a new audience to the greatness of Steve Monite but there is lack of funk in this cover even If the bass solo was 🔥
i hope the reason why the crowd is so silent is, that they are completely overwhelmed by a frank ocean killing this song
i think the crowd is just hella whack
@@christopherruelas9058 yes that’s exactly how it felt. Everyone stopped and was just grooving. I remember looking around and every single face in the crowd was smiling and bobbing their head
Too busy recording it 🤦🏼♂️
Nah. They're just not familiar w/ this song so they can't sing along to it.
killing this song...butchering it....poor steve
WHY AM I JUST SEEING THIS!!!?????
ME TOO :c
Liked the original more
wtf this was my reaction
No one dancing :/
I usually don't like remakes of classics but this one i dig it.
Not a remake it’s a cover. Reconsider all the “remakes” you’ve listen to.
Frank ocean is usually on point with his covers
Would we know of this one if it was not for Frank? Im not that big on nigerian music so i don’t know, maybe...
@@sziya7 Im just saying I would not know about it. And being covered by Frank Ocean does help with turning the tune into mainstream audiences. Im sure it was a big tune at it’s time but it has gotten huge.
It's not overdone that's why
Looks like no one got it 😐🥲💀 Steve monite is 🤌🏼🔥 classic
frank's got one of the nicest voices around today
I hope the crowd knew how blessed they were that night
Super blessed 🥹
I know 😭😭😭😭😭
Me and my wife were there waited for hours for Frank Ocean. Didn’t move and the crowd grew bigger and bigger and when he came on it was magical! Everybody was dancing to this song it was the best!
I’ve never listened to Frank Ocean... I’m officially on board.
Same here, whole newfound respect for Frank Ocean.
That’s Frank Ocean. No time to dance tbh.
to not only cover it, but do it justice as well. the guy gets it.
You're in for a ride. Wish I could experience it from scratch all over again.
I would simply pass away
Oooooooooooohhhohhhhh! (Steve!) she said take it! Take it! Take it! Take it take it take it! Ohhhooohhhhhhh!
Sad when y’all think this is his jam...no one like Steve!👊🏽
just be happy hes bringing awareness to a great song🤷♂️i wouldnt have found the original if not for franks cover, and right away when i heard it i knew it wasnt a frank ocean song lol..
Steve brought me here
Tim franks is better 🤷🏻♂️
I cant do without it...
@@DanGeezyPresentsnot even
What a dead crowd omg
Can we please get a mixed version of this frank?
apple music - blonded Radio ep. 007 has CDQ
Damm that bass player killed it
been listening to this song 100 times in a row and just came across this from my favorite artist-awesome
Frank killed this. And I just heard the original today.
I hope you've heard the Theophilus London version. It's so damn good
@@Zombified- noooooo I haven’t!!!!
The bass man finally got the chance to play some of his favs it seems
Man, what a cover!! I wouldn't be able to stand still if I witnessed this live 🕺
This and beach house covering lemonade by Gucci mane is my Roman Empire
3:40 asap rocky enjoying Frank's performance
NEED 2 C FRANK B4 I VANISH_
If I looked to the right and I’m beside asap Rocky I might faint
If I ever saw him in concert I would be so overwhelmed. I’m not sure how I would react.
🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬SING THAT SHIT
Omgggg I’ve been looking for a better video of this night! I fucking cried this night. Best solo trip to a music festival!
You were so lucky to be there
I wissssshhhhh I could’ve seen this in person I’m jealous of you all who did
Is that Asap Rocky at the end? 🧐
Everyone was standing there on PHONES. my dude. Just dance
I would've wept if I seen someone covering Steve Monite.
asap rocky vibing aswell
The original is the best....
Steve Monite was Michael Jacksons ghost writer

I heard this 4 years ago and been waiting since for the official version
never coming out
blonded 007 brought me here . wish i was there in person
what’s the time stamp?
This doesn't sound that great to be honest, (he's kinda off key). It doesn't represent the great things he does usually
THE CROWD DID NOT PASS THE VIBE CHECK BOI I WOULD’VE BEENN SCREAMING
Nobody in the crowd no what’s up. Lol probably just the 40 top artists type of crowd

God I wish he would put out this cover as a single or something
You can record this live performance with audacity and make it into a mp3 etc.
That dope asf love this track one of my favorite funk

tame impala also apparently has a cover of this!
i found it in some download site and haven't found official record or soemthing

Frank ocean does a great cover of this song, I’m glad he is bringing it to the newer generations ❤❤❤ timeless song
💗💗
This just made me love frank even more
He sounds so good
