Guest miff Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Kevin Banks doing a retake of his mothers song,Go Now, wrote by his father, and I like it
Codfromderby Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 the musics great if you shut your eyes to the video thing, the flat cap and the levine type film thing is orrid, just my opinion
Kevinkent Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Ruined a good song for me - and for Bessie Banks too I reckon
Guest Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Kevin Banks doing a retake of his mothers song,Go Now, wrote by his father, and I like it I appreciate the sentiment, but unfortunately Kevin does not seem to have inherited the vocal gene from his mum in my opinion. with singing, only being nearly there or halfway there is never gonna be enough. I am sure better production etc could bring his voice up pleasant enough, but I would not want to hear it again Edited September 23, 2011 by luiz arruda paez
Guest Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Absolutely shocking! Its not shocking at all If someone sang like this at your local Pub on Karaoke night they would win the nights contest. That's where I am with this guy. I am more shocked at the bloke who posted it on here ! LOL When is Mike gonna get this refoSoul Shit fixed ! Everyone must have loads of new tunes to up load ! Save us Mike !

Guest Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I love him and his fence Great observations, but i think you will find it is his mums fence
Guest biggray1 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Not Bad at all,would like to hear more material from him.
Only Dreaming Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Great post and replies-reading them has given me the best laugh I've had all week!! Muchos gracearse, Dave
paultp Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I quite liked it, but he did say BITD which ruined it for me .....
Chalky Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I wouldn't call it shocking, terrible or other such words but I can't ever see it being up there with his mothers original or even the Moody Blues.
KevH Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Pleasant enough.Its a tribute to his mother and father - have some respect !!!!.If Luther had done this most of you would be wetting yourselves. 1
Winnie :-) Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Kevin Banks doing a retake of his mothers song,Go Now, wrote by his father, and I like it Thought it was pleasant enough, certainly not as bad as some have made out
Alison H Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I'm with Bessie ..... I like it !!! He's got a really nice voice, and like some-one said earlier, listen to the song on it's own merit (without the video) and I'm sure many folk would give it the I bet she's right proud of him, and so she should be

Aaah, but Luther wanted to dance with his father .... and so he is now Sorry, bad taste I know, I'll get my coat 1

She certainly didn't seem too impressed to me. I reckon she secretly twiddled her hearing aid off after the first few bars. Anyway, I just listened to it without viewing the video and I have to say that his voice wasn't as good as I first thought. The audio on it's own reinforces the fact that all sentiment and feeling (let's call it "soul") in the original version seems to have been abandoned in favour of discotrickery. The lyrics don't suit the arrangement. With a name like Kevin, what do you expect? - Kev

Guest john s Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I wouldn't call it shocking, terrible or other such words but I can't ever see it being up there with his mothers original or even the Moody Blues. 'even' the Moody Blues? Best version! .......................(IMO)..............
