Nobody has ever gotten this song right except Ronnie Van Zant.Until now.o

Chris Stapleton is a generational artist. No matter if he chooses to perform an original or a cover he makes it his own and we are left in awe of the talent. Thank-you, Chris, never change, be yourself and we will be the beneficiary.

This was my Oldest son’s Anthem…..we lost him 4 years ago in an industrial accident, I hope he heard this

[krisrr]

Absolutely the best cover of this song! This is the song I've been singing to my son since he was born. He's 33 now and I still sing it to him on his birthday.

I normally dont like covers of LS, but then there is Chris Stapleton!! Awesome!

[TimNJ]

This was absolutely incredible. This song has never hit the same without Ronnie behind the mic, but Chris sang one of the greatest songs ever with some extra soul that just pulls you in.
There will never be another Ronnie Van Zant, but this was beautifully done.

[rorymckinney]

I think he is the answer to the rebirth of southern rock..

[oldtimer]

I can't think of a better band than Lynyrd Skynyrd to have a tribute to.

Knew the second I saw this Video title I would not be disappointed. Simple Man is my #1 all time favorite. And Stapleton is quickly becoming my number 1 favorite artist. Everything the man touches is gold. Thank you for this upload

i drank a bit too much whiskey and the wife sent me into the shower to try to sober up. while in there i'd swear i sang like this guy.

[centenntrucker]

I've been an (original) Skynyrd fan since I was small from my dad. I've been a Chris Stapleton fan since he came out. The two sounds combined with a strong blues sound from both, 👏🤘👍🇺🇸

[LisaVojtko]

He has the perfect gravely voice for this song!! Love Chris and skynnrd.

[joevk]

I vote that all Skynrd covers from now on be performed only by Chris Stapleton.

[kathyshirk]

If their ever was another"Simple kind of Man" it's Chris Stapleton!

[rusvaryag]

I SAW Ronnie and the Boys do this in 1973 down in Hog town. NEVER forgot the passion in Ronnie's voice while he sang this. One of the most amazing concerts I have EVER seen and I've seen a few. The damn goosebumps looked like WELTS!! I've seen Johnny do this too but CHRIS has a quality in his voice VERY similar to RONNIE and THAT is saying something. Has NOT been anyone since Ronnie. CHRIS thank you for raising those damn WELTS again. Got tears STREAMING!!!

Chris Stapleton can make any song sound so beautiful, the man has the soul of the ages in em.

[KoreyAusTex]

I’d love to hear him sing ‘I need you’

[susansmith]

Greatest Musican of all Time..I Love Chris Stapleton

[mikewood]

Everytime I see Chris Stapleton, I immediately think Skynyrd, specifically Ronnie Van Zant. Great music.
