Thank you for once again turning me on to great artists and songs that I might never have heard otherwise!

He is extremely talented and his rapport with his audiences is magical!

I'm like, 'How did he get so popular and I'd never heard of him until tonight???'

LOL

And the orchestration is very nicely arranged, too.

When I read on Wikipedia that he came to acclaim with a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry Bout a Thing," I began salivating. It may be my favorite Stevie Wonder number, and he has many songs on my favorites list (the one in my heart and mental archives).

So, when I saw the Zoom call video format and acapella style, I listened through the intro and then he began doing the vocals in his greatly iconoclastic style, this guy is a freaking genius. And a genius in composing, arranging, playing multiple instruments, singing, conceptualizing a cover version of old standards and producing them to be of music industry quality. And his vocal range is unbelievable!

I can understand why the video has more than 5,000,000 views!

But as superlative as all that is, (and it truly is!) I was bummed that it had none of the things I like about Stevie Wonder's original.

Well, when he got to the instrumental portion, I figured out how to love this version.

I needed to stop lamenting what it wasn't and simply appreciate it for what it is.

And that turned it all around for me, so that by the end of the song, I was giving it an 8.5 or a 9 out of 10 rating.

I recognize it is a cover of DYWBAT, but I listen to it as I would a completely different song. An original composition. And with that different frame of reference, I love it.
