I dont know why but I love all the people in this video

8 years later and currently playing this on repeat. Amazing job my friend, much respect. 👌

No better compliment to a performer than to have people spontaneously get up and dance. Better than applause. Great tune .............. sounds great !

A bar. A drink. A friend. A dude with a guitar playing a great song. That's greatness! Enjoy these simple yet beautiful things as much as humanly possible. And shout out AW RIP.

love how the older gentleman in the back was grooving to the acoustics in the beginning. yet another perfect cover

As a performer, seeing everyone dance to your music is just about the best feeling out there, well done!

Watching this while in quarentine just reminds me of how grateful we should’ve been to these tipe of moments when we were able to just interact with our loved ones... peace everybody, i hope we can get through all of this

Cheers for the first couple dancing

0:30 me and Bae creeping to the bedroom when we 80

For me, the best cover of Valerie on KZfaq! Great music! Sounds so genuine! EDIT: 1 year later, several covers watched... STILL THE BEST.

Came for the cover, stayed for the older folks having a blast!

I’m addicted to this version of Valerie. I’ve heard this song a few weeks ago and I can’t stop listening to it.

who else was watching the old couple in the background tearing up the floor.

I cant tell you guys how many times Ive been here for a jam!! much love you each and one of you

Reminds me of the Chappelle skit where John Mayer starts playing a blues riff and all the white people start stripping off their clothes....

9 years later and I'm still rocking out to this. Great job!

I doubt there are many experiences as a musician that are as fulfilling as having people come up and dance to your music😍 I love the power of music!!!

i was in Dublin Ireland the other day and i was in a pub called "the auld dubliner" and a dude with a guitar was singing this song and the whole pub was singing along, it was so fucking cool that NOBODY had their phones out recording....damn i wish i would have, man he was jammin, sounded just like this guy!!! pretty fuckin cool bro good singin!!!

He tunes down a half step. These chords are listed as if it were standard tuning: C, Dm7 F, Em, G chorus

Brought a warm feeling all throughout my body... Man I miss live music.

bro is holding the time like a machine. impressive. great voice, great performance

so many valerie covers with so many views. This has one of the least amount of views and is hands down my favorite. A tip of the cap to you sir:)

I watched this when the government locked us down and it really made me miss the little things, like dancing with/around strangers and the togetherness it brings.

a bar. a drink. some friends. a dean heckel. an amazing evening.

When that elderly couple started dancing, i felt that❤️‍🔥

I melted! This was by far my favorite cover of this song... I could listen all day long.

This video was a lifesaver during lockdown. It's amazing that we took a bar full of strangers for granted

This was the best vibes! Peace and Love

I come back every once in awhile just to hear his version...outstanding✌

I love those dancing people in the background who are celebrating life! All people are beautiful and all people can dance and all people are young, no matter how old they are!

WOW. This is my favorite song from her and you sang the hell out of it!! Young Amy would have given her Seal Of Approval!!

Still coming back in 2022 to listen to you play this song. You crushed it!

I can see why everyone started dancing. Rich, powerful voice full of soul! I can't believe we aren't hearing you on the radio instead of here, but either way keep up the great work!

I've watch this video hundreds of times! I found it when he released it and still love it! The woman tryna hand him the note kills me every time. Cougar found her some meat...lol

It’s a song that fells like a groovy gathering of friends partying on a warm summer evening

The older couple remind me of my parents, always the first on the dance floor!!!

i'm legit crying right now because covid ruined magical moments like this for all of us..

The very fact that you got people to get up and start dancing when you sang shows that you have an exceptional talent when it comes to singing. Wishing you all the very best in your career. That was again an amazing rendition.

Nothing feels better than seeing a talented solo performer with an acoustic getting the pure crowd enjoyment he deserves in return.. well done dude, vocals are amazing.

I would be shocked to see 1 person dislike this, but 290?? I’m sure they hit the button by accident. Dude your an amazing singer, thanks for sharing your talent with us!!!

The sign of a great artist... people really enjoying your music!! What a great talent!... Cheer's!

This is what what great music is all about 🔥

One hell of a live performance!!! 👍

I love it so much when elderly people start to dance at our acoustic pub gigs. They've been through so much and are life experienced in a way that they just enjoy your music in a very special way. Awesome smooth cover btw!

first saw this clip years ago loved it instantly it inspired me to give it a try it's now 2022 and it's still in my repertoire and still following the talented Dean Heckel ... great song , great version Dean

The note said ; “fisting is my first base”

the couple behind dancing, loved them, my mood now hahah

This song takes me back in time, 2020 when everything was uncertain, today we are here without a pandemic, let's celebrate, life is beautiful

Last night you brought me back from a day where I was wondering why I still spend so much time with music, you lit my light and last night I did surely the best recordings I've ever done. Thank you, Dean!!

I wanted to subscribe to your channel because I've seen that when you sing, you do it with the soul and that's what an artist is all about. Keep doing it. Greetings from Mexico. Peace.

Good ole Louisville Kentucky right here...love it!!!

So, this version is my new favorite song apparently, because ive been coming back every day to listen to it for a week

You have got a beautiful Soulful voice and one of the best Renditions of Valerie

I can feel that voice. Great job

That guitar tone is on point 😩bravo

literally listening to this on a loop. It’s so good.

one of the best versions i've ever heard...great job. great voice..

Damn this dude is good!! Why are you not Ultra famous ma man?! Don’t worry, you will be!

The people dancing made this video even more beautiful! 💖💖

I didn't listen to that sound for a few months, I went back to the channel to enjoy it again. Always an incredible experience !!! That dancing couple is energizing !!!!

Listen to this cover wow🍾✌

Lady at 2:59 - “why isn’t he growing a third arm yet..”

today is my birthday, one of the most exhausting days till now, I just wanna cry my heart out, but I don't have even tears, your song and voice makes me better, maybe I'm just as lost as lady Valerie was. ugh

Chills. I can only hope this man blows up and continues to sing and play.

this is a great cover and the folks dancing makes it all the better!!..:))

0:30 - 0:40 = my post-shower/ pre-clothing dance every morning

i just can´t stop listen to this cover. so freaking amazing, congrats! keep it up

The old couple stepping out , shimmering across the floor...♥️♥️..... Perth Australia

As much as I adored Amy Winehouse, this version is to me the best. Actually I reckon she'd love it too. Cool Dean.

If you can make white people spontaneously dance, you know you have done something amazing ;-) Keep doing everything you are doing cause it is so damn right.

This guys amazing......its people like this with real talent that never get the proper recognition

It is for this reason that being a good musician is special. You bring joy to other people besides yourself. ^^

Adorei 😍 sucesso para você!!

Galera animada, sem vergonha de ser feliz, adroooo! E que baita cantor, amei

Love this guy. Just the vibe makes me feel as if I’m in the same room

9 years later and never fails to have me smiling like an idiot whenever I watch this

Best acoustic version of this song I've heard. Great strumming, great vocals. Great job!

Que lindo!voz incrível

I'm in love with the elderly couple who first stepped up into dancing ... Soooo lovinggggg

Love this!

Great talent! In regards to the title, Valerie was only covered by Amy and is a song written by the Liverpool band 'The Zutons'. Either way, a fantastic cover of a cover.

Let the song and moment take you 🎶😃 dancing n enjoy n be happy i say.

Love this! Everything about it just makes me smile.

I love this so much!

Beautiful performance Dean ! Very honest performance. You are being You. All the very best

Killed it!!! My mother always said when someone is singing you have to believe them. I believe you man. Great cover.

Idk know how many times I've watched this cover but it never gets old. Great talent, voice n atmosphere!!

one of the most wholesome vids ive seen in a while

I'm a fan of yours, I love finding people like you. Hope you the best. Love that blonde in the yellow dress in this video.

Dave Mcabe of The Zutons an Indie band from the City of Liverpool, England, wrote this song.

This is amazing I'm inspired!!! So raw and raspy

I’m not crying bc of that old couple in the back, YOU ARE

Deu até vontade de visitar esse lugar cara, mó vibe boa, pessoal mó legal, e parabéns pela voz cara, voz linda de mais
