Richard Page is without a doubt one of the best musicians I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. I first learned of his amazing gift when I heard the Pages albums in the early 80s. Songs like Sesatia, OCOE, and Midnight Angel were among my favorites. I was also aware of his beautiful studio work as both a writer and background vocalist on the AL Jarreau records also in the early 80s. I'm a drummer so I always appreciate singers with good time as so many singers sing ahead of the beat. Richard is a true professional. He also has great microphone technique, a skill that he undoubtedly acquired through his session work. I had the pleasure of meeting Richard in 1987 as Mr. Mister was touring with the Seattle band Heart. I was amazed by how tall he was! He was so personable and charismatic and he had nothing but kind things to say. One of the things that impresses me most about Richard is his ad-libs during chorus out sections. He's always subtle and soulful and he makes beautiful and very musical choices. I remember when Mr. Mister performed on Saturday night live in about 1986. Richard's singing was so on point that a song writer named Randy Newman was convinced that Richard was lip sinking. He wasn't though!! A true talent and a huge inspiration to me.
Richard is very special. Amazing songwriter and vocalist. He is the real deal. Had the pleasure of working with him at BMG/RCA in the 80s/90s. A true professional and really down to earth. Still has that incredible range, phrasing and perfect pitch.
Best song ever written. Here, in this version, sung in the best possible way. It isn't sung, it's be-ed. That's the ultimate expression of life. My dear Richard... Thank you for your expression. It is received in me.
Not underrated, just unknown to many but not to those of us who seek music that stands the test of time. Richard has performed on so many incredible recordings in addition to his work with Pages and Mr.Mister. He has added background vocals to dozens of classic albums and written a lot of successful songs along with Steve George and John Lang. I would say that Steve George is criminally unknown as both a keyboardist and singer. Thankfully we have RUclips and lots of people who upload amazing videos for us all to share. I bought Solo Acoustic when it came out and was amazed how sharp Richard's voice was and by the look of the Ringo Starr videos he's still got it, pretty remarkable, but then he's one of the very best performers we've ever seen, I'd say up there with Karen Carpenter, Luther Vandross and other musical royalty.
Man, this guy.....from late 70s until now. The voice of an angel. Yeah, this song with Bruce Hornsby on keys and Don Henley on vocals.....a possible mega among us oldies, but goodies.....
Everything about this song is of another level. Melody, words, interpretation, passages, etc. One of the many wonderful songs written by Mr Richard Page!
My goodness! What an amazing song! I just found this and have played it several times. Mr. Page still has amazing vocals to compliment his song writing abilities! I would love to see him in an acoustic environment. This man does not need the help of any electronics to make him sound great! He already does!
Richard 's voice warms my heart and calms my soul. I love Mr Mister, and Richard Page's solo songs too, his voice is amazing...up there with George Michael, Luther Vandross, etc..
Want to learn this on piano once quarantine is lifted. Ty for sharing. I love Richard Page, a beautiful voice, lyrics & wonderful to look at & hear. God bless u & stay safe
Amazing talent, beautifully crafted song delivered by a wonderful voice. Thank-you Richard for recording this performance and posting it on RUclips. I cannot thank you enough for your contribution to the world as a songwriter and backing vocalist and then with MisterMister and your solo albums. I'm off to Little Dume to purchase the live album, gotta have it.
I love the chords and the progression in this piece...The lyrics are worthy of the sonic vessel as well...In this case, the execution was spot on...VERY nice piece...Thanks for posting this...
Brilliant, and looking forward to exploring all the tunes you have done over the years when I was happy with Kyrie all these years. Love the heart in all your lyrics and vocals, I love it and am grateful for your sharing here on YT.
I heard this song for the first time yesterday and I recognize the voice but I couldn't place it immediately but I fell in love with the song I'm Listening it to it again today it's just captivating beautiful song
Great Artist, pure talent. Feeling lost in my little french island, in the Caribbean, the future is cloudly, but this voice, this man, his songs got the power to send me to another place. Bravo.
Great performance!! Amazing vocals and great to see his skills on the piano. Would be great to see more piano or keyboard playing by Richard. He was great with the All starr band as well.
@valeriealmamarie - I agree, "Shelter Me" is so good. I love being able to see/hear Richard perform live with the piano. Just such an amazing talent and sounds just as incredible as he did when I first heard him in the 80's. SO glad he's doing his thing again! :)
j'adorerai voir ce concert à paris, juste une guitare ou un piano et la voix, sans autres artifices qui finalement ne fond que noyer la voix, diluer l'émotion .
Great song, and still a great voice. I Did not know that he is going on with a solo carrier since I was told by my friend Rolf Maibaum. I was a great fan of him and his voice, "Dust" was a long time my favourite song! So I found him back due to my friend, who had the idea to make a rendition on "BROKEN WINGS"! Thanx a lot for your nice comment on our Video! With the kindest regards from GERMANY / COLOGNE Lothar as ELPI
This whole concert was a masterclass in songwriting and performance.

Such an underrated musician. He is one of the best male vocalists in existance. This is music.
existence.
Similar to the late Clifford T Ward, Richard is underrated but has the most beautiful and soulful voices I've heard.

What a beautiful song. So sad but so poignant.. Mental health is so important in our lives. Richard makes sensitive music...I feel it.
Man, this guy.....from late 70s until now. The voice of an angel. Yeah, this song with Bruce Hornsby on keys and Don Henley on vocals.....a possible mega among us oldies, but goodies.....
