No joke. I heard this song in a commercial and Shazammed it. 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. Wish I could upload a comparison pic on here!
@@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!

@@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
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.
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
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..
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
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
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 😹🙏
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

That's lovely! Life always has a way of making us remember the things that mean most to us. Embrace them and enjoy them ❤
I heard this song in American dad… I was like holy shit this is actually an incredible song. Steve…..
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 🔥
Nigeria to the world 🇳🇬
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
frank's got one of the nicest voices around today

WHY AM I JUST SEEING THIS!!!?????
ME TOO :c
Liked the original more
wtf this was my reaction
been listening to this song 100 times in a row and just came across this from my favorite artist-awesome
Man, what a cover!! I wouldn't be able to stand still if I witnessed this live 🕺
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
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.
Frank ocean does a great cover of this song, I’m glad he is bringing it to the newer generations ❤❤❤ timeless song
I would simply pass away
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
I hope the crowd knew how blessed they were that night
Super blessed 🥹
I know 😭😭😭😭😭
I heard this 4 years ago and been waiting since for the official version
never coming out
I would've wept if I seen someone covering Steve Monite.
This is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Oooooooooooohhhohhhhh! (Steve!) she said take it! Take it! Take it! Take it take it take it! Ohhhooohhhhhhh!
If I ever saw him in concert I would be so overwhelmed. I’m not sure how I would react.
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
That dope asf love this track one of my favorite funk
This just made me love frank even more
The bass man finally got the chance to play some of his favs it seems
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 love this song and frank omg
Can we please get a mixed version of this frank?
apple music - blonded Radio ep. 007 has CDQ
god i saw this live and i still haven’t recovered
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!!!!
Only you baby.... I loveee this song🥰🥰
this is amazing 🙌 i now love this version too !
Damm that bass player killed it
Got damn this is some fire.
Genius!!!

He sounds so good
thank you Frank
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 🔥
Looks like no one got it 😐🥲💀 Steve monite is 🤌🏼🔥 classic

This was good. Would hear me him do a studio version
Bad Ass funk jam

I wish i was there
Ballers brought me here
The crowd...
The original is the best....
Steve Monite was Michael Jacksons ghost writer
Nobody in the crowd no what’s up. Lol probably just the 40 top artists type of crowd

What a dead crowd omg

Pause
this is the frankie francis' disco jam edit version
No no no!
This doesn't sound that great to be honest, (he's kinda off key). It doesn't represent the great things he does usually
This is karaoke tier
Karaoke at best
The bassist did an OK job.
nah original better sorry
Not even close....buchering this song. what a crime
