Sad thing is there are people out there making 20 million a year singing boring songs and do not have half the talent that Russ has. Russ sings, plays bass, guitar, keyboards, drums and sizzling electric lead if need be Now what does he not do. Also I have no idea on how everything is synchronized so perfectly.
I could not agree more ! People with the talent that Russ has are very rare ! How he makes his voice fit each and every song is totally amazing,I don’t mean just on key either !
This was big on our Top 40 radio station in 1972. My sister dedicated the song to me as I headed off to college. I heard it played for me in the car. This is a SUPER cover of this classic. Great job by this very talented man.
My parents decided to move us from California to Kentucky in February 1972 (My junior year in High School). When this song came out, it became my theme song - Great Job! Now, if you'll just do "Chevy Van" by Sammy Johns, my life will be complete... LOL!!!
hello my friend , felicitations je decouvre votre version de cette belle chanson d albert hammond , je vais le fairre aussi a la guitare c parfait beau travail amities de france Michel
Russ, this song is one of those I never get tired listening to. You are awesome. Love it. I will share this vid with others. Thank you for this gift of music.❤🎉
Another outstanding job!! And btw... u are a one man wrecking crew!! Ha! Love reading the background history and that u actually take the time to respond to comments!!!
This is absolutely excellent!!! I was playing this song today busking in the street solo. It sounds great even just with an acoustic guitar and vocal. A sign of a great song. ;) I wouldn't have a clue how to play the other parts that you're playing. Your voice sounds like that of a 21 year old.
Just stumbled on this song. At the end, I immediately subscribed to your channel - which I don't do very often, tbh. Thanks, so excited to hear more from you!
I have no musical training. However, it would be interesting if you would list for us, the musical instruments and music equipment you own. I see it stacked all around the wall of your make-do studio. Thanks for another great gig........

@@russwilloughby501 Yes Russ, but with all due respect to you, Albert Hammond doesn't use a capo on this song. It's in the key of Bm (standard tuning) ua-cam.com/video/Gmq4WIjQxp0/v-deo.html Thanks for the reply! Keep up the great work! 👍
@@frankkoller2622 Thank much, Frank. BTW, here's a video with him using a capo..ua-cam.com/video/2p2Ew52up3A/v-deo.html which is odd because his fingering is the same as if he's not using a capo, and it's still in Bm, which means the guitar is tuned down.
@@russwilloughby501 Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue! 😱 Lol That is weird, huh? Well, we'll find out Russ. I sent an inquiry to Mr. Hammond asking which is the correct way. With, or without a capo, or is it both? We'll see. Thanks 🤔👍

Thanks Steve. Someday I might get around to doing an inventory...but in a nutshell there are five amps, four drum sets, 13 guitars and two basses.
Awesome as usual, excellent renditions.
As always, many thanks!
I definitely prefer your cover of this tune!!!
I appreciate it very much!
Your harmony is spot on. Another wonderful cover. New sub.
Wow, thank you!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯
Spot on
That was good! Very entertaining!👏 👍
(Just to keep the record straight everyone, this song is really in the key of Bm.)
Thanks much! Yes, it's Bm, which is what I'm playing it in (capo on the 2nd fret).
