Soulful heartfelt gritty delivery of a brilliant song.
amazing voice
Dayum....every time i listen to this...i can't believe how Rich and Soulful her voice is!
Power House...!
My God What A voice!!!!!
Great sing-a-long tune for those long car rides.
I think she has a voice from heaven, she's also very cute!
i can't stop commenting on this, saying, how much I love it... if I would have been there....
WOW what a voice!!
Brilliant! Orchestra and back up vocals were nothing less than magnificent.
Without a doubt, the best version of this song ever done. Even beats Jimmy Ruffin.
Such a deep rich voice...........another multiple watch.....clean lick stuff.
Such a deep rich voice...........another multiple watch.....
Saw her sing this liveat Manchester academey,It was amazing wish she would come back to England
Why would you change the arrangement? She did a great job!!
I've just gotta recognize Bob Babbit's and Richard "Pistol" Allen's performances on the bass guitar and drums respectively. They complement a great Funk Brothers jam. RIP, Pistol.
Joan, The Funk Brothers just outstanding!
Authentic Talent !
an oldie but a goodie
Has any one nominated this composition as the best ever'
i still get the chills when i hear this. perfect mix for a perfect voice.
WOW! She has sooommmeee PIPES! She sings beautifully from the heart, effortlessly. It just flows

"wonder who the 39 idiots were who hit thumbs down?"
I think that pakee64 voted it down all 39 times that he watched the video. I don't think that 39 seperate people have bad taste.
Even Joan Osbourne's 10 seconds of "Heard it Through the Grapevine" that appeared in the film blew the mangled version that Ben Harper, A Berry Gordie label product, performed with The Funk Brothers out of the water.
But I'm sure you're right, pakee, there's no way that this little white girl could sing Motown. It's not like the Funk Brothers have a white bass player, or anything.
@pakee64
The idea of watching a zombie Ruffin perform just doesn't sit well with me.
St. Joan performed a wonderful homage of "What Becomes of the Brohenhearted" within the confines of the original arrangement. And why did she stick to the limitations of the original arrangement instead of an interpretation? Because this was a movie honoring THE FUNK BROTHERS, the musicians who composed the original "soulful arrangement." Not Mr. Ruffin, not Miss Osbourne, The Funk Brothers.
Don't get me wrong, I love Joan singing this song. But, for me it's the Funk Brothers drumming that really makes the song work. Listen again to it and focus on the drumming, OUTSTANDING. |
