Back to the Future: Jill Scott’s Official YouTube Opens The Vault With A 2000 Jools Holland Gem
That’s right, soul listeners and lovers. Jill Scott’s official YouTube channel is activated, and the vault is already serving.
Freshly uploaded from the archives: Jill’s performance of “Gettin’ in The Way” on the beloved UK music series Later… with Jools Holland, circa November 18, 2000.
This is early Jill in full command: the voice warm, the delivery conversational, the side-eye built into the phrasing and the band locked right behind her. A neo-soul dispatch from the year Who Is Jill Scott?: Words and Sounds Vol. 1 began making its way into everybody’s grown-folks rotation.
Jill Scott’s official YouTube channel spotlights her 2000 “Gettin’ in The Way” performance from Later… with Jools Holland.

“Gettin’ in The Way” remains one of those Jill Scott records that plays like a whole scene: romantic tension, protect-your-peace energy and a vocal performance that can smile at you while warning you not to test it.
The Later… with Jools Holland stage was made for this kind of performance too — intimate enough for the nuance, live enough for the musicianship, and very ready for Jill’s Philadelphia soul authority.
So yes, we will absolutely be keeping one eye on Jill’s official channel if more archive performances begin arriving. Some voices do not need a throwback excuse. They simply re-enter the room and remind everyone what the standard was.
