Listen To The Strumming.
A good example of solid strumming over chord changes. Great Seals cover.

Yes, I 'discovered' this guy a couple of months ago and he's one of my favourites. Another example of good strumming (an 'on a train to no-where' strum to my ears) is his 'Empty' which is also my favourite of his - I never get tired of hearing it.
YouTube - Ray LaMontagne "Empty"
I also love the cello accompaniment and the dark 'soulful' tune and lyrics. Musically I love the strumming and the vocal phrasing that is 'off' the beat but still in rhythm.
The real reason why he's so good is because he has a beard (of course).

Sorry, I should have been clearer...
The song you posted a link to is a Gnarls Barkley original, Seal's Crazy is a different tune with the same title - Like Patsy Cline's Crazy, for example.

Both excellent. It always amazes me that when somethings played really well, it sounds easy..... Then you try and play along with it!
