Absolutely mind blowing. My first time hearing this young man. I am 83 years old and still love music This is so very good. LOVE YOU PAOLO.

i wanna sit in a small pub late in the night listening to live music like this

Old lady here. What did I just see? Paolo summoning ALL the spirits...this young man is mindblowing. God Bless his lovely soul. Thanks for the music!

This ladies and gentleman is what you call SOUL.

This guy's just the best thing that's happened to music in ages

Half Scottish half Italian, can’t get any sexier combination!

Little did he know, that this version would become the best version on KZfaq.

He's the kind of artist you don't want to share with anyone, and you don't want anyone to know of him. His work is so damn artistic that you never get enough of it !!

Omg he's voice he's better than the oldies

he has not got soul, he is the soul. pure and genuine.

I’ll never be able to get over how beautiful this is. Been coming back to it for years

The subtle guitars in the background, with a quiet drumming back beat, sublime. Then that pounding drumming kicks in and boooom. Magic. The horn section starts up, so 60's. You just get used to that fast rhythm, then it goes all soft play again to bring your head back down to earth. These musicians really deserve credit too. They're not just playing, they're feeling it.

Every few months I think about this cover. Always brings me to tears he’s so powerful!

Fucking hell Paolo tears this up!!! cant get enough of his beautiful voice...this is class.

Absolutely the best version of this song! WOW, JUST INCREDIBLE

Its just the way he pulls himself out of the emotion he was feeling in that performance right at the end totally immerses himself in to everything he sings his expression is everything rare rare talent

Would have loved a song with him and Amy Winehouse 😍

every performance he does he sings as though this has been pent up in him for so long he sings with such conviction and emotion and rawness I can't get enough of it

This is the first time I've ever heard a man sing this song. I love the Etta James version and Paolo does justice to that. His gravelly voice is perfect for this!

His voice absolutely slays me, watching him tear into that song on stage makes me believe everything he's singing. WOW Paolo!

I am old enough to remember the original version by Etta James, he brought his version right up to date with all the emotion 😍😍😍❤️👏👏👏🇬🇧

The passion he puts into his singing is breathtaking

I used to love the Rod Stewart version...then i heard this and it totally blew my mind. The power in his voice and the emotion is out of this world :)

2020 still listening 👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥fire 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Listening always..2020. God, his voice!

HOLY SHIT. First time hearing this in 2021. I'm years late but my god this is magical.

On a Paolo kick again. It comes in waves, it comes, and it goes. Best part about his sound is that is always comes back.

I am waiting for the day he will start singing againmmm

Dear JESUS, WHERE DID HE COME FROM, pure talent AND Scottish damn❤️

He tears his heart out, stomps on it and covers it up with the blanket of his soul on this track. Holy Moses! I love you, Paolo!

Iron sky live at Abbey Road helped me to kick off Heroin and methedon I am now 5years clean so I thank you 😊 for your unknown support MR PAOLO NUTINI Marcus Charlton! !!!!’mn

Paolo you're version of I'd rather go blind is a masterpiece

I would love to be able to sit down and have a beer with this genius and tell him that I’m about to become a father for the first time and there’s nothing more I would want for the next generation than to benefit from his talents. What a guy, what a performer.

Pure, raw talent, so special. Him and Amy Winehouse - in a league of their own. Should see and hear much more of him.

He is the best! For me no one else can compair. Pure music, pure soul only vibrations... ❤️

Could God have possibly created a more perfect Man? He is magnificent, voice looks accent! Absolutley speechless...

Well I am far over 60, but listen to him makes me my day 😃

Totally different grooving from Etta's origin; he's creative and I love it.

the drummer in this deserves some mention drives this right to the end!!

If you're going to cover one of the greatest singers of all time...sfirst you have to have balls and courage, then you have reinvent it, take it to a new place - which he did! Respect Paulo - you are a true legend! ;)

The way Paolo sings this song is quite literally the definition of the term 'tearing it up' ... This is just amazing. I love it!

I just can't get my head round how talented this young man is. I saw him in concert a few weeks ago and I felt euphoric, he has that effect. Don't ever leave Paolo!

The Bass & Drums are killing it!!! and then on top of it Paulo Nutuni's unique soul voice at the absolute peak of his abilities. And the fearlessness he shows in his ability to close his eyes to mean every word he sings and to take you, the listener, into his world.

NOOOO he EVEN MADE THIS cover, it's impossible how how how how GOOOOOOOD it is!! How I missed it before???? Pure SOUL!!!!!!!!

THE FIRST MALE, THAT CAN SING THIS SONG DEEP FROM THE SOUL, BRAVO...❤️❤️

He left it all out there again, 1 thing about Paolo he doesn't hold anything back, puer soul brilliant 👏

How could anyone give a thumbs down to Paolo? It’s perplexing.

Damn he is fire.

Holy shit , he's just made that song his own

That came from way down deep!! The soul in his voice is overwhelming. I have only seen him perform live once and it was a revelation, an experience never to be forgotten. His genius gets better with age!! There is a reason why his concert tickets are like gold dust. Paolo, there are so many of us eagerly awaiting another tour!!

Absolutely brilliant 👌👏 Paolo has some voice, i'm proud to be Scottish 🫶❤️👌

Paolo has a beautiful voice, always has. I can definitely hear his Otis Redding influence in this one.

I love a man who can look like a llama and be able to sing one of the best songs ever all at the same time 😋

Such a passionate beautiful singer bringing amazing emotions to all who listen, unique in his own way! So loved by many I am sure!

It's like he's from another time. I hear definite Motown, jazz & blues influences. James Brown, Ray Charles, Etta James (obviously), Aretha, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, & even Joe Cocker.. Love this guy!

I was looking for an up tempo version for my band to play, this is great. I remember the first time I came across Paula Nutini, it was when he brought out his first single “Jenny don’t be hasty”. I was completely blown away, what a song!

Paulo Nutini is as hot in looks as his voice is rich and deep..

So I've listened to many versions of I'd rather go blind and this is best versions by far 🧡

All the talent in the world and a tanker full of passion

OMG how I love this man! The first time I heard him I thought he must be an old blues singer, got on KZfaq and bam this beautiful Scottish man singing these amazing songs! He is truly a musical treasure for the world! Cheers

No Paolo, your version is the best one on the internet.

I’d not heard of Paola Nutini till I met and cared for his great aunt as a carer only last week. I was a singer myself till a few yrs ago and totally love his style. Fabulous voice and the emotion he puts into it. I’m now a huge fan. My kinda stuff! Love it.

You know this world is f'up when you see a guy with this much talent and he is hardly known by mainstream. He is one of the finest singers i have ever heard in any genera of music. Perfect looks, gravely voice, and stage presence....how did he not get discovered? It makes me ill.

That time when you don't have nothing to do and just wanna listen to some good old music!!! Listen to this guy and he'll bring you to the place you can't even explain!!! Feel it people just the way he delivers the song it's AMAZING!!!

OMG What a discovery! Sometimes you read a book, other times you discover an author... I am hooked on MANY of his songs

He's like Otis Redding's reincarnation. Wow, there's so much soul in this

This young man is amazing the passion in singing this classic is mind blowing reminds me Charles Bradley similar in passion.

No idea how much Paolo version means, the passion, no disrespect to Etta, the boy done good. Love you Paolo x

2022. This one never gets old.

sensational performance straight from the heart by Paolo....WHAT A VOICE. Best version ever of this timeless classic.

Paolo, Paolo, PAOLO!!! Mamma Mia, baby.....talk about pouring your heart and soul into a song....bravo!!!! This is the best version of this song ever....you rock sweet boy....where are you these days? Come to CANADA!!

To quote the Blues Brothers......"a band good enough to turn piss into gasoline"

it's as if the music explodes out of him,exposing his soul.LOVE,LOVE,LOVE his music,don't only hear him,feel him.BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is amazing he is helping me through this lockdown I’m hospital listening to him he keeping me going luv u pulo

Here after hearing that he is returning to the stage next year ... hallelujah 😌

Il vit ses chansons, il parle et sa voix est pure comme l'eau d'or . !! Bravo . 🐞🍀👏💝🎁🎸🎵🦄

I really enjoy watching him talk before he sings.. hes such a pleasant person

All I can say is WOW I love him

I did not think he was going to pull this one off...everytime I listen to Etta sing this song, she brings me to tears. Well done Paolo 👏 ❤ all the love and soul shines out of your singing.

I will ALWAYS come back to this video...this version has me stunned. Beautifully stunned

first I thought, oh, another Rod Stewart, then, after first few seconds, a was amazed!!!! This performance sets new standards for interpretation of this song.

The best liver performer I've ever seen - and I've seen the likes of Adele, Leona Lewis etc. This guy is incredible. Had the pleasure of seeing him live, in Newport, a few years ago. Just a natural talent and writes his own stuff too. Check out his Caustic Love album.

Years passed by .... and then again a NEW voice appears full of EMOTION, LOVE, SOUL, FUNK, POWER and much more . . . .these people have no fear "to go blind" ......with the voice they share ... .theyy are welcome into the world of Terence Trent Howard, Mina, Withney Houston, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince, .... a,d many more.. . . . hope to discover one more soon ... grazie PAolo ....

A truly old soul in a young mans body, many thanks for bringing the magnificent music of my past to todays youth.

Paolo is my spirit animal.

Although he´s so young, he sings with such a feeling that my hair is all on end, fabulous!!!

Am back again, this is the best version yet on par with Etta, I’m a 70 year old lady who could listen to him forever👏👏👏😘🇬🇧

This man's voice is only scottish and makes you homesick jus gorgeous

Please. This is one of the best songs but to hear it sung by this unique and beautiful soul is beyond comprehension. I'm so glad to listen to this tonight. I'm happy out 😃

Love this version

What a talent . The emotion is astounding . Love this guy

I think this is my favourite version of this song... amazing Paolo and his voice.

Am old enough to know the original Etta James rendition, his version is so raw 😘😘😍👏👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧

The most soul. The most energy and feeling I ever felt.

Damn I expected to hate any messing about with this favourite of mine but he slayed it !

I could listen to him for days and never get enough of his music. His passion is amazing.

Speechless, so speechless didn't even want to leave a comment

I am in LOVE with this young man!! I am only disappointed that he has been around so long and I just discovered him. I missed like 16 years of this pleasure. I hope he comes back or he just invites me to his house to watch/listen to him jam.

No this is ...in my opinion the best version

He’s underrated!
