That bass player is Owen Biddle. I've been a huge fan of his since 2008 when i saw gym class heroes open for The Roots in Milwaukee. Owen was on Fallon for the first 2 or 3 years.
You mean the 2 together, or separately? I mean John Legend is simply huge. He gets a lot of attention, no doubts about that. And the Roots have been the house band for Jimmy Fallon since 2009, for example. I'm sure that gives them plenty of attention, on top of the fact they are one of the most recognized hip hop bands of all time.
@@julienz2024 all of the artists mentioned here haven’t been appreciated as much as I would like them to be as accomplished musicians ….(the origin version of this song will explain everything you’re questioning. ) Roberta did it best but this a very poignant version of her song .
Im such a big fan...his music and resons for singing what he sings and how he sings it is so soulful unlike a lot of other artists today...I like that you kept the same drive throughout your music career so that your songs are still meaningful though the era has changed and the style of music globally has warped immensely ...I could listen to your songs all day... You are by far in my opinion the most phenomenal artist, vocalist and pianist combined thus far... love love love your music...
The meerkats... it's the first time I haven't skipped a UA-cam in.... ever since I started using it. Finally an ad studio who have worked out how to grab UA-camr's.... short and snappy zero attention span music video.
I wish the whole cd had the live in studio versions because they sound way better than the regular tracks on the cd. It's got more flavor but im still buying the cd

I thought that Stewart Copeland was the greatest living drummer until I heard this guy. Now it's a tie. (SC is also American). Listen to Voices Inside My Head from the Police.
This is a GREAT version of this tune.. but I think the Bass line is really the key to this tune.. phew !! What a GROOve!! What PERRfect note choices.... Questlove doin' pretty well, here of course !!
Before he became a Ludwig endorser he has always said that Ludwig have made the best snare drums for the past 70 or so years, but then again he used a 1992 Yamaha recording custom 14 /3" brass piccolo snare for years. Im assuming its a Ludwig.
It's a condenser mic, most likely Neumann U87. Kinda surprised he's not using any type of pop filter. 2uestlove's mic looks like a Shure, but lots of companies now make model that look like the older industry standbys.
@BassRaven you'll have to e-mail Tim Cloonan at Callowhill for prices. Well above $3000 I'm sure. I ordered mine a few years ago so I'm not sure what they are going for now.
@@melissathompson2449 I just looked it up and actually it appears to have been written by Gene McDaniels - Roberta Flack was only the first to record it.
@TheImposer I am not here to see which one of us know music more than the orther or feel what is true real music, but I am here to state the reasons for my first statement. Some songs should not be touch at all, some songs do not need a rap lyric in it, some songs are hard to remake because the artist doing it can't capture the anger and the spirt of the orgingal artist. The sax in the orginal was just as aggressive and the vocals. I like John Legend and l like the roots, but bad version
that bass player is completely slaying it
dude you're not kidding
+giggs102 Do yourself a favour and track down the full version of this, goes on twice as long, which means even more great bass moments!
he is and I wish it was a bit louder
potatopotatopotato Owen Biddle. You dont even see him til halfway thru the video🙄🙄🙄 But hearing him is whats important.
And the only one doing so.
These guys belong together. They should form a real band: "Legend and the legendary Roots crew"!
Cool! I didn't think any version could top the one on their album, but here it is.
The original by Roberta Flack, perhaps?

Thanks! I was wondering who was playing that bad arse line!
Each time I listen to or watch Legend and/or Roots am blown away by how good they are. Do not get the attention they deserve.

I can't believe that this video only has 51,721 views!
This song grooves so much!
Good news, now 7.5 million views
This is the best bass I have heard since "What is Hip". Fucking amazing.
Owen Biddle owns this version and only gets about 15 seconds of screen time. wtf.
I saw them live at the DC Rally to Restore Sanity put together by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Downloaded the album, immediately.

I love this so much. The first time I heard this song was by Brian Auger's Oblivion Express. Yeah, I'm old school. This the best ever!
The Roots are to my generation and modern music what the Funk Brothers are to motown in the 60's. they do it all, and they do it the best.
Thumbs up if Bosch brought you here. 👍
Indeed, thanks to Bosch!
Not something I normally pay attention to but SICKEST bassline, damn.
man if you're listening to this with speakers with poor bass response, you are missing about 40% of the song...

the friggin roots, can't they get any better?

Pareil pour moi
that snare though...
And that ride cymbal bell.
Respect!
Edu Marron - Sao Paulo - Brazil
This is hands down my favorite song and Owen is a big part of that.
The drummer, however, is essential!
the return of good music
John Legend and the Roots belong together. They should form a real band: "Legend and the legendary Roots crew"!
I thought that Stewart Copeland was the greatest living drummer until I heard this guy. Now it's a tie. (SC is also American). Listen to Voices Inside My Head from the Police.
John Legend got that timeless touch to music though it's a cover track.
AWESOME , i felt the vibe for sure. "Tryna make it real compared TO WHAT!"
You're not wrong!
this is how God intended music to sound like, beautiful stuff..
Creative interpretation with late 60s funk and hip hop. But I like the jazz creation of Les McCan and Eddie Harris.
Not enough pain in his voice. He hasn't been through enough, none of them have. Take two.
OMG this duo is amazing!
absolutely soulful. beautifulbeautifulbeautiful!!!
Priceless!
i love it
I can't get down with this song. Sometimes it is best to leave well enough alone
Bosch brought me here. Just starting Dark Hours
Same. 👊
Same here
True Musick
i love this mannnnnn
@stickmanbw I totally agree and I looove the Roots!
This is a GREAT version of this tune.. but I think the Bass line is really the key to this tune..
phew !! What a GROOve!! What PERRfect note choices.... Questlove doin' pretty well, here
of course !!
I'm liking this...
Lovin the drum beat.
Awesome song! Awesome singing!
Çà groove graaaave !!!!!!!!!
Murdering a beautiful song by Roberta flack
i wish i had a sg now. damn
Whew.. :) That bass just gets under your skin, doesn´t it? It´s crazy.
This version might be better than the record..
owen is peelin' it!
Oh man that's smokin.
This is an edited version, there is a full 10/11 minute version of this as a bonus track of the Wake Up CD which is so much better.
Even Owen Biddle can't save this song.
very nice music
If theres a god and he has an ipod this would definetly be on it!!
Its so damn good
minha linha !!!!
Owen Biddle from Philly.
Not sure what to think. Borrowed Stormy from the Classics IV and now Compared to What. He has good taste....
Every time he says "Try to make it reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaal!" I want to fucking dance.
Before he became a Ludwig endorser he has always said that Ludwig have made the best snare drums for the past 70 or so years, but then again he used a 1992 Yamaha recording custom 14 /3" brass piccolo snare for years. Im assuming its a Ludwig.
I don’t like the sound of the cymbals on this recording they literally sound like someone is try to get a marble out of a soda can
MMXX
MMXXI
present
dat bass.
i typed "what's good music" into the search bar and got this.
thanks youtube.
The Roots sound is just perfect, John Legend has not best voice but it's very good on this track. It's my favorite version of this song and I love it.
music.
@untalkativ3 or Johnny Legend & The Roots would sound like a classy 60s motown group
It's a condenser mic, most likely Neumann U87. Kinda surprised he's not using any type of pop filter. 2uestlove's mic looks like a Shure, but lots of companies now make model that look like the older industry standbys.
@BassRaven yep, it's an OBS model. I own a Callowhill Junk 5 and it kills!
@evillano hes a playing a cutom built bass man, if im not wrong its made by Callowhill.
this could not have been any more sick.
This is so dangerous"im callin the police"!!OW!!
Epic
I'm not incorrect. There is a longer live version of this. I've heard it myself. There is a live studio version of wake up everybody too.
you can make a beat of your own by prressing 1 in different variations
reminds me of marvin´s inner city blues one
@BassRaven you'll have to e-mail Tim Cloonan at Callowhill for prices. Well above $3000 I'm sure. I ordered mine a few years ago so I'm not sure what they are going for now.
id love to learn how to get that sound outta drums. that was extremely tight sounding to me
The original is sung by Roberta Flack, if anybody is interested.
Les McCann and Eddie Harris

Good Comment

OMG makes u feel GOOD!!!!!!! just killin it!

+Richard Shapiro my version will be better. been working on it all morning.
@untalkativ3 As long as Black Thought still gets 'em too!
@dinosaurpotatoes he also dances if you hit 1 every second
John Legend, marry me.
@untalkativ3 "Legendary Roots"
I think that would make an awesome youtube vid! ;)
this vid's sound is SO LOW
Listen to Less Maccan sing it.
Noisey lebanon on youtube
2gether they could remake marylin manson's songs (im scared of him) and i would love it :)
This #funkedMeUP
мноо яко!
💀🦊❤️❤️❤️
i like how they reused blackthought's verse from hardware... straight fire.
this would be even more crazy if it wasent on vevo -_-
