Listen To This: A Cover of A Cover
Filed under: Anglophilia > Amy Winehouse > Listen To This
This is actually our favorite version!
The wonderful James Morrison has just done an equally wonderful cover of Valerie, the song most recently done by Amy Winehouse on Mark Ronson's latest album.
The tune was originally done by the Zutons, and it was rock 'n' roll. Ronson and Wino put their typical sound on it.
And now James has offered up a soulful and "hippy" take on the new classic.
Enjoy his version of Valerie below and then CLICK HERE to check out some other great tunes from James Morrison.

First? Second? Last?
Amaaaazing!
First!!!!
This is Amazing… No wonder he is my favorite…
. Thnx .
such a hunk!!! mmmmmm!!!
Yawn
Mark Ronson's debut album isn't Version….His debut album was "Here Comes the Fuzz"
DIRDY HOOKERS UNITE! WE MUST FIGHT TILL THE END OF THE TAMPON!
papacito!!!!
James Morrison is absolutly amazing! I love his music soooo much!
yOU CALL HIM A SINGER? i'D CALL THAt A LAME bORE… i'D RATHER LISTEN TO dAN rATHER. HAHA… I'M A FUCKIN RIOT. AND THIS GUY ON HERE IS not A SINGER. HE SOUNDS LIKE A WANNABE COCKATWO WITH A TOOSIE POP STUCK UP HIS BEHIND! TOTAL SHITNESS … ICKY … NO NO NO.
He's one of the most talented singers right now.. Gotta love him..
first!!!!!!!
i hate james morrison !
i'm cool
Wow. You must be music deprived. This guy is nothing special.
WOW GOOD COVER
:)
Awful. Awful cover. Seriously.
the zutons' original was hardly rock'n'roll
I love love LOVE his voice! I bought his album Undiscovered and it's brilliant!!! Check out "wonderful world"!
stunning!!!
Oh James Morrison… so good! I love his music.
The original is not rock'n'roll, and this is NOT a cover of the overplayed Mark Ronson cover. It's another cover of the original. That is clear from the vocal stylings, which he copies from the Zutons, not Amy.
Get
It
Right
I was hoping for more. And BTW, his face reminds me of a cross between Adam Sandler and Chris Martin from Coldplay, cute, in an SNL kinda way.
I've liked all three versions. Just never liked the song. Ginger hair reminds me of Ashley Simpson.
that song is about my batshit crazy friend, Valerie. no really, it is
The Amy Wino cover was better! But that's because ever since I bought her first album Frank I haven't listened to much else. Maybe Perez should do a cover of a cover of a cover?
James Morrison is nothing special but he is fucking talented so to the haters: don't be so judgemental when you can't even harmonise a toilet flush!
Flog a dead horse.
Amy winehouses is much better!
aww, this version makes me proud to be a valerie
wtf? this is so dull. i can't believe you think this is better than ronson & wino's version
The best version of "Valerie" is done by Levar Thomas. Go to YouTube and search "Valerie Levar Thomas". If you want more GOOGLE "Levar Thomas". This guy is going to be HUGE!
Re: Bryan –
OMG Bryan Levar Thomas can sing his ass off. WOW!!!!
He has a POWERFUL voice and is amazing! His CD is SO worth the money!
Re: Bryan –
Perez you should have posted Levar Thomas's version!
James is a great singer! he makes me feel happy even when shit happendzz around, thnx for this song to him & to you))))
james morrison used to hang out with jeff buckley in the early '90's…
Perez, you're speaking as if this has JUST been recorded.
It was done before Amy Winehouse covered it.
Anyone know where I can purchase this song?
I prefer Winehouse's version…
Amy and Ronson version is far better than Morrison's…. he just missed the beat
i actually really like James Morrison his album has some very hot tracks on it! And this version is good… but I don't think it can evern COMPARE let alone come close to the Amy version.. that one gives me chills!
Mr. Morrison actually did this cover way before Ronson recorded his version with Amy Winehouse. Perez, you should get your act together.
love it. james morrison is amazing, i love his voice.
good call, perez. loved it.
I absolutely LOVE it!! I'm going to try and download it right now…
I love James Morrison's CD Undiscovered! He has a wonderful, rough voice. I actually don't like this cover very much, but he's great nonetheless!
Hi P, Great Song! Thanks for getting the music out there. I don't have time to sit on music sites and listen to everything, good and sucky. You've got a pretty good ear.
Mark Ronson's CD "Version" was by far the best of 2007. If you don't already have it, GET IT! Trust me!
hey p! i still think the zutons version is the best…long live the zutons! this one is good, i like the guitar, but the organ or whatever in the background is kinda…well…annoying. but i like james morrison so kudos to him! love u p!
Re: cass –
Check out Levar Thomas on YouTube singing Valerie!!!!
This is oooooold
I have a bit of a crush on James Morrison. It's that lovely, sexy voice of his. He's very good.
THIS IS AMAZING!!! WOW. J-morrison, you do it uppp boy!!!
Absolutely wonderful. Bravo Perezito!
Wow. That was surprisingly good, since i dont like James Morrison
no way that version is better than amy winehouse's.
OOooooohhhh….James Morrison.
I'm slightly in love with his voice
Thanks Perez for giving some promo to a truly talented artist. The UK has been turning them out lately. Now if James can break through like Amy Winehouse has, that would be really AWESOME. You need to promote The Zutons too. They are an amazing band. Some record company needs to release their album in the U.S.
American radio is flooded with a bunch of CRAP songs.
GO U.K.
I thought it was Bob Dylan after some serious cosmetic work.
PUAJ!
I LOVE this man. I've met him a couple of times when he was touring with John Mayer. He's so sweet and such an awesome performer.
sorry love to disagree even though it is nothing more then a opinion. The winehouse/ronson version blows this one outtta the water. its so much more livelier and the vocals just pop better. This cover is C+ at best. Even though i love ms winehouse and may be bias but is hard to top her vocals nowadays compared to the other artists that are around. Not so much that she has the best voice out there she just seems to do it better

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE JAMES!!!
gross. this guy is trying WAY too hard to look like bob dylan. his cover suxxx hard too. the ronson/winehouse version is the best.
Is it just me , or does he not look like a young adam sandler from this angle, at first i thought it was adam sandler.

James recorded his before Amy did.
He is amazing! I ended up just buying his cd because of this. =) Thanks for helping me spend money I don't have, Perez.
In comparison to Amy: this one stinks.
Wow wow wow!!
You have got to watch LEVAR THOMAS singing VALERIE. His version is amazing!!!!
Wino's will always be best…to me anyways
anyone know where to download this cover from james? thanks.
he sux.
I love james morrison, he makes everything sound so… amazing!
I really love this version. I like amy and marks too, they are hard to compare completely diff. styles.
albino winos version is better.
Oh My GAWD!! I love James Morrison and anything new from him is like Christmas!!
Thank you Perez! James is soo talented thank you so much for introducing the world to this!!!
