Childish Gambino covers Chris Gaines
posted July 30, 2019 #
As you know, I'm on a quest to get Garth Brooks back on SNL as Chris Gaines. It's been 20 years since the maligned project kicked off and immediately deflated but it's persisted in the cultural zeitgeist for decades. I dare say it's even become more understood in that time.
Case in point, here's Childish Gambino covering Chris Gaines single "Lost in You." His soulful rendition really isn't that far off from the original. Sure, the Gambino version is better but it's a nice nod to the staying power of the project. AND he performed it in Australia, where Chris Gaines was originally from (yes, the character has a deep backstory).
TLDR: Childish Gambino gets it. Many thanks to Paul for the heads up.
