Amen!

I trust you on that. Love that he is making music with his wife - that explains the chemistry

@@sabina1118 His writing credentials are insane. You should look up the songs that he's writen for other artist.

I came here to say this Chris KILLED it but he didn't write it....

Didn't D.A.Coe do the original. Not taking anything away from Chris. Just look up the songs that he has written for other artist that became hits.

Noted, thanks 🤗

@@sabina1118 mqnnqq a a amamamqm

Sometimes I cry when I listen to Sometimes I cry

Aww it's his wife?? That SO freaking sweet

@@sabina1118 His wife is also a songwriter and a great support to Chris Stapleton.

@@sabina1118 he usually is looking for her eyecontact cause he has a little stage fright

The entire set he did was amazing - Check out "I WAS WRONG" He was a song writer and wrote several hits sung by other artists. It was his wife Morgane that convinced him to perform. There is a HUGE LIST of amazing songs. I Was Wrong - Soul & Blues - Amazing! Cold - Soul - Cuts to the core Parachute - Rock/Country Fire Away - Watch the music video - this will gut you its so emotional Broken Halos - Rock/Country Nobody to Blame - Blues What Are You Listening To - Live acoustic More of You - Live - Acoustic - You will SEE the love between them Fool Me Again - Very old, I think this is when people figured out he can sing. Song writers cruise, he & another guy wrote this the day before they performed it. Chris's voice = pure power But there's more! The dude is a major collaborator Tennessee Whisky/Fool Me Again - CMA Awards with Justin Timberlake (THIS PERFORMANCE LAUNCHED CHRIS) Love Me Anyway - with Pink Sweet Symphony - with Joy Oladokun - This was released a few months ago - very nice duet Maggie's Song - with Miranda Lambert - if you have pets, you will cry You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive - CMA Awards with Patty Loveless - Amazing performance And this is the tip of the iceberg - Wanna blow your mind? His wife Morgane can sing and not just background harmonies You Are My Sunshine - Chris & Morgane Stapleton - Chris has "You Are My Sunshine" engraved on his wedding ring Amanda - Grand Ole Opry - This is bluegrass and when she hits those notes, I guarantee you will smile

I will 😍

@@sabina1118 Always love your reactions and they way you do them. We still get to know your thoughts, but also just experience your uninterrupted experience 🖤

Glad you liked it, Chris!! Country style music is not very popular in Denmark, so I was also new to Mr. Stapleton. Great intro!!

dude you just scared the heck out of me........ bobs still alive !

@@j0k3rday …I was under the impression he had died. Looking into this in more detail, he is very much alive. Seems I took some notice of what was an obvious hoax doing the rounds in the past. Thank you for correcting me, I’ll change my post.👍

Sorry Chris, but this is'nt a country song. This is a direct reworking of "I'd rather go blind" by Etta James from 1967! The only thing different is the lyric. The melody, tempo, instruments, arrangement, production, and overall feel, are all a carbon copy of the original SOUL classic.

Thanks and welcome!! ❤️

Really!! I thought Chris made it: Thanks for letting me know!

Nope. This is a direct reworking of "I'd rather go blind" by Etta James from 1967! The only thing different is the lyric. The melody, tempo, key, instruments, arrangement, production, and overall feel, are all a carbon copy of the original SOUL classic.

@@moosic2i Before 2015 Chris was a song writer for over a decade, he made a living and fed his family writing the music and lyrics for A list country artists, he's credited with close to a dozen #1's and ton more that hit top 20, so why would he need to "rip anyone off"? On the weekends him and his band played local dive bars around Nashville for fun and a few bucks. They covered Tennessee Whiskey but with a more blues/gospel feel to it. Yes you read that correctly, they covered it, he DID NOT write new lyrics to Etta's song. Tennessee Whisky was written in 1980 by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove, they offered it to George Straight but he turned it down, but David Allen Coe loved and released it on his 1981 album of the same name. Then 2yrs later in 1983 George Jones released it as a single. Then nothing until Chris released it, but with less twang and more soul. It had become such a fan favorite in the dive bars, his manager talked him into including it on his debut album. Songs are copyrighted two ways, the lyrics and the music, each hold independent copyrights, even if the same person wrote the music and lyrics. His record label paid Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove as writers of the lyrics, but the music nor the lyrics to I'd Rather Go Blind were written by Etta James, her friend Ellington Jordon wrote the lyrics and she polished them up, then copyrighted under Billy Foster, Etta's singing partner at the time. I don't know if you play or can read music, but if you know your blues and R&B music very well, you could probably find a lot of songs that sound the same musically. I'd Rather Go Blind and Tennessee Whiskey are not note for note the same song. Both songs have the 12/8 rhythmic meter, are in the key of A, and have a chord progression often found in classic gospel and soul music. Stapleton and James have a similar singing style, too, that's it. You cannot copyright a rhythm, or a time signature. Not to mention, Etta was one of Chris's biggest influences growing up, if anyone from Etta's family thought he was ripping her off, Chris would write them a check in 2 seconds.

Correct, not an original. This is a direct reworking of "I'd rather go blind" by Etta James from 1967! The only thing different is the lyric. The melody, tempo, key, instruments, arrangement, production, and overall feel, are all a carbon copy of the original SOUL classic.

@@moosic2i there are similarities between the two I cannot deny. But to say anything about the two songs are carbon copies of one another is just factually inaccurate. Yes of course, Etta James' recording was done much earlier than any version of Tennessee Whiskey and if Chris Stapleton's version was inspired by I'd Rather Go Blind, what of it? Stapleton has admitted openly that he has been strongly influenced by the blues, soul, r&b, gospel, jazz and everyone knows it. So is your point to infer that because of the popularity of Stapleton's version, he owes the creator of the Etta James' song monies? That to me is a stretch. And it's only monetary successful songs that this type of claims are ever made. Never the countless other songs that show influence that are not hits. Etta was a widely successful and renowned artist on her own for the times and her music should still be appreciated.

Nope. This is a direct reworking of "I'd rather go blind" by Etta James from 1967! The only thing different is the lyric. The melody, tempo, key, instruments, arrangement, production, and overall feel, are all a carbon copy of the original SOUL classic.

This is not a country song!

@@moosic2i I didn't mean to imply that THIS is a country song. I think I was referring to your commentary..

Chris singleton???

That’s so Nice!!

Uh! Noted, Thanks 🤗

Mashups are faked thru editing. Why should she react to that? There is enough really great performances from either artist to focus on, come on. MARK

did not know! thanks for sharing :D
