AceShowbiz - Chris Robinson, lead vocalist of The Black Crowes, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform a soulful rendition of Otis Redding’s 1966 song "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)." He was accompanied by singer Rachael Price and the show’s house band, the Cletones, delivering a blues-infused version of the classic track.

During the interview, Chris Robinson explained his choice of song, citing Redding as his "favorite soul singer." He emphasized the influence of R&B, soul, and funk music on his artistry, particularly given his Atlanta roots. "Being from Atlanta originally, R&B music, soul music, funk music—it’s a big part of the rock ’n’ roll we make," he told host Jimmy Kimmel.

The Black Crowes recently released their 10th studio album, A Pound of Feathers, produced in Nashville by Jay Joyce. Earlier this year, the band earned a nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a milestone that sparked further conversation on the show.

The topic shifted to Robinson’s past remarks about the Hall of Fame. In 2017, he declared he would not attend the induction if the band were honored. He admitted those comments reflected a negative perspective he once held. "I wasn’t in the Black Crowes at that time I made that salacious comment," he said. "But it is true, the Black Crowes were kind of more famous, my brother and I, for hating each other than the songs and the music."

He referenced how sibling rivalry has worked for other bands, like Oasis, but not for them. However, Chris Robinson shared that he and his brother, Rich Robinson, resolved their differences and reunited The Black Crowes in 2019. This reconciliation has been a deeply rewarding experience for him. "It’s been fantastic," he noted.

In a recent appearance on Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast, Chris Robinson suggested that his mended relationship with Rich influenced the famed Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, who are expected to reconcile in 2025. "Of course we did. There’s no doubt in my mind," he said. He stated that their relationship serves as a "barometer" for the Gallaghers’ family dynamic and challenged anyone to deny it.

The Black Crowes continue to build on their renewed bond, both personally and musically, as they promote their latest album and navigate the recognition of their legacy in rock music.
