That was friggin awesome! Great arrangement, great horn section, singing beyond excellent, drums, keyboard and of course Bass. Even the mixing was great. I Loved it. I've always liked this song too so good choice.
Heard this when Charles shared it. I come back to it from time to time because this was absolutely masterfully done, by every single musician. You all killed it! Amazing job.
That everyone of these great musicians were sitting god knows how far apart from each other, probably in their own home, each recording their own part which was resulting in a song with the sound of this quality blows my mind.
Thanks haha! It took a lot of hard work from everyone involved, and the process ended up happening over the span of about 4 months from start to finish!
Yep, Charles Berthoud sent me here, and I'm glad that he did. =) What an excellent performance by everyone, and a superb arrangement to boot! You can really tell that a lot of effort and hard work went into this, and despite all of that, it looks like everyone is having a Hell of a good time! This *definitely* deserves more appreciation and more views! Thank you all!
one of my favourite living bass players and one of the most underrated Eurovision singers as a backing vocalist? is this a fever dream or what? 😍😍 this was marvellous, love y'all guys and happy new year!
Great arrangement! Charles is superb but so are the other musicians! I listened over 10 times to this song. Keep up the good work! Hope to hear more from you.
Smooothly done! Great performances. Great production. Doesn't get any better. Everyone treat yourselves to your favorite dessert or something lol. You earned it.
Thanks so much! And if you liked the drums make sure to check out Demitrio's channel as well, he does some absolutely kickass drum covers: ua-cam.com/users/Drumzoo
Wow the production value on this was out of this world. Never heard of this channel before, I thought Charles solo was great on its own then JD came in the with the keys 🎹 🤌🏼 magnifico!
CharlesBerthoud is the reason I'm here. Glad I checked it out, very well done, and I love to hear updated recordings of older songs... and of course the BASS!
Very well done cover, great composition, great musicians. A shame it took me two years until I noticed the one video of Charles I didn't watch where he posted the link about this :D I'd like to say something about the mix and overall sound, but I listened on class B headphones, so I have to reevaluate. Anyways, my thought was it sounds really Pop, Radio edit-like. Maybe you wanted to let it sound that way, but that's something that makes me a little tired of listening to. But as I said, maybe I change my mind when using better monitors.
Sent here by Charles. What a fantastic cover! Great job to everyone here! Especially the singers! Great chops from the lead and backing. Also, it's really nice to see Charles here in a full band mix context. Love his solo/channel stuff, but here he's proven even in a full band he can groove and add to the song rather than takeover. Though that sweet bass solo and synth solo after were sick as well!
Thank you! It was such a pleasure to work with Charles on this. Glad you liked the vocals and the synth solo as well. Lots of hard work went into this from everyone involved.
Man, aside from the amazing performance that everyone has already pointed out, I just wanna say: What an INCREDIBLE mix! With so much stuff happening you somehow managed to make everything audible and present in the mix. Everything sounds perfect. Excellent job!
Thank you, that means so much! For me, being primarily a songwriter & arranger, mixing is more of a secondary skill that I've developed just in the last 5 years; so it's wonderful to hear that I'm doing something right. 😊
@@jdrichmusic I'm of the opinion that to be a great mixer you need to have a clear understanding of what the music SHOULD sound like. More often than not mixing engineers focus too much on the technical part of the mix - where everything sits, what frequencies are used, how "punchy" that kick drum sounds, etc - and they forget about the song. What vibe is it supposed to give? What needs to shine at X point? What do you want the people to hear? Those are the questions that really matter. And therefore, someone that is familiar with the song and knows what it's all about (like the songwriter, the arranger or the band members) have a different view and a more correct one in my opinion. You did a great job not only technically but also musically - the song gives a great vibe because at every point in time what needs to be heard is there! Cheers. :)
If possible, could you do a cover of ‘Tell Me Something Good’ by Chaka Khan & Rufus? Same instrumentation and with whatever arrangement you think up. No one ever seems to remember that hit song except me. I guess it’s because I’m old. LOL I’m really digging this song more and more and have even downloaded it so I can listen anytime. I’ve also subscribed to this channel and I’ll be looking forward to listening to your catalog and hope for more new originals or covers. Truly an assembly of kick ass musicians. As a lifelong musician, I’m always thrilled when I hear something done superbly and with such an awesome funk style groove. Back in the 1970s, I was the weirdest kid in HS because I loved Zeppelin, Rush, Kansas, and Aerosmith as much as Earth, Wind, & Fire, Funkadelics, Dixie Dregs, and Chicago. I’m shutting up now as I’m sure I’ve typed too much in my few posts, but this is what happens when kick musicians perform and kick song with an excellent arrangement.
Wow, thanks so much for all of the great feedback, and glad you subscribed! I appreciate the song suggestion, will keep it in mind - many more videos like this will be on the way in the new year. :)
All very talented people and that young lady with the big voice is also quite beautiful. And with all respect to everyone who collaborated to make this such a very excellent song. Charles really adds quite a bit of exception spark, yet not overpowering anyone else. My only tiny critique point. I would have liked it more if the drums matched the bass solo instead of just the bass as this such a total group song. Added bit just in case... I first thought it was the same young woman doing all the vocals, but upon three subsequent viewings, it seems the massive backing vocals is done by another beautiful young lady. I’m still not 100% sure, but I wanted to be certain I didn’t leave anyone out from such an excellent collaborative effort. One additional tiny other thing if I were producing/mixing would have done is brought up the drums a bit more. I listened to the song on two different studio monitors and my very true and flat EQ AKG headphones and it’s something I would have done.
Thanks for having me, awesome production!
You are awesome Charlesss!!
EPIC playing, I'm grateful that you could be part of this! :)
You should have told us about this earlier when the video was published; that was great!

Charles brought me here, great cover arrangement and SUPERB production. Congratulations!
Thank you!!!
This was fantastic! Perhaps a band in the making.
This is cheesier than a wheel of vintage cheddar but I'm here for it.
I'll go ahead and take that as 100% a compliment since I LOVE vintage cheddar! 😜
@@jdrichmusic it was indeed meant as a compliment =p
What an amazing arrangement by top tier professionals.
PS: shout out to the drummer for his choice of kit. More is almost never better :)
Thanks so much! And if you liked the drums make sure to check out Demitrio's channel as well, he does some absolutely kickass drum covers: ua-cam.com/users/Drumzoo
A pop song with real trumpet, trombone, and sax? in 2020? Awesome! 🤩
Yes! There's not nearly enough brass in pop music these days... Hoping to change that. 😉
Don't forget the SLAP
Effin' magnificent! The energy! The Pro brought me here,and now subscribed!

Glad you found it, and thanks for listening! :) Yes there are definitely some intentionally pop-influenced elements to the production.
