  • From the Obama fundraiser at the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco, CA, February 16, 2012.
    I found the different angles here on RUclips and pieced them together. Many thanks to the RUclipsr's whose videos I used; including... concertkid2 (audio also), julissa321, srscanlan, matthewalb, yar1960, theShivaTV, and rishirich5.

    What gets lost in this over time because it’s such a great performance is that he performed this just days after Whitney Houston died. That’s why you hear the instant acknowledgment from the crowd. There was no fan fare, no announcement of a tribute, just this heartfelt nod to another great singer. This gets me emotional every time.

      I love that this performance is imperfect. It’s just a lovely person playing a song for another lovely person, living in a moment with disregard for scrutiny or reputation, heart and soul, devoid of commerce or ulterior motives. He was one of a kind 🤍

    I listened to this song the night Chris died. I cried like a baby for about 20 minutes.
    Chris has meant a lot to my life. I have seen him live several times with his different bands.
    The last time was last year for his acoustic show. I was wearing a soundgarden shirt, and he pointed me out in the audience and said cool t shirt!
    I will cherish that tiny piece of personal interaction forever.
    The voice of a generation.
    Gone too soon.
    Love from New Zealand.

    The night before my husband died in a horrible car crash just minutes from home, I was listening to nothing compares to you. He asked if I had heard Chris’s version. He was a huge fan…I had not, he played it for me and we sang along quietly then went to bed. This video, others by Chris, interviews, all sorts of tid bits always to do with Chris continually pop into my life on a daily basis, tv, radio, in a store, just everywhere. I am positive they are signs from my love.

      But Cornell is a chameleon of music, he can sing pop, soul, rock, grunge, metal, very low notes really high notes, amazing vibrato, 4 octave vocal range, his voice breaths soul, so underrated imo
      His covers are all exceptional, always at least as well as the original
      Amazing, he's unique.

      The first time I saw "Best Little Whorehouse" and Dolly sings this at the end, I cried. I would rent the movie just to hear that song. When Witney did it and everybody raved, I said " she makes it soar, but DOLLY makes you cry". Listening to this version with Chris Cornell just breaks my heart, and I am crying again.

      Never be ashamed to let your true feelings show about something. Anyone who calls you less of a man for something as simple as enjoying a song is simply insecure with themselves and trying to take you down to their level. Live life, love what you love, and love fully.

I recently made a RUclips page pretty much dedicated to him. Even though I know my voice is not the best I uploaded these covers of his songs anyways cuz like you said if you love something just do it. please check out my RUclips channel @ Nemesis 23. I have tons of songs on various setlists, but check out my public uploads to hear/see me sing. I am open to all criticism both good and bad. Peace and Love Forever...

      Vince Gill does a beautiful rendition of this song himself.
      And Vince also did this song as a duet with Dolly Parton, the country music legend who actually wrote this beautiful, heartbreaking ballad.
      Both versions are worth checking out.
      If this was indeed Chris's tribute to Whitney Houston, I'm so very glad he did NOT over sing the chorus the way Whitney did, almost murdering the song for me.
      Subtle works so much better on this song and Whitney's version was the complete bombastic polar opposite of subtle.

      It's extremely tragic, and heart breaking. But it makes this so piercing. Gorgeous. At the same time, it's so heartbreaking.

And to know how hopeless and tortured he was breaks my heart. There are countless others right now that feel that same isolated despair

    Just found this. He was my angel on 1/8/2024. He came to stand beside me when I was put into a torture device in jail, and an hour into it, when I was losing consciousness, he told me to pray and that he would be with me until the corrections people let me free, and he was. I went into psychosis for a few months after, and he watched over me, but now I don't think I will be seeing him anymore. You are my angel, and I still have suicidal ideation, he has lessened it considerably. They need to do better in our institutions when dealing with mental health. It's infuriating how these "professionals" don't listen and do these inhumane things which only make things worse. Thank you Chris. Until we meet again. RIP

    This is the performance that showed me the awesome power of Chris's voice in all its glory. I had only heard his voice and its praises in passing. It was this performance that blew me away and showcased the power and emotion he could convey.
    I'll always love you, Chris. I wish I could've told you how much your music meant to me and how your voice expressed the emotions I never could express.

    Such a sad way to leave this world. I attempted suicide and was put on life support for four days and I was not expected to live. I was still in the hospital when my husband called and said he had passed. I fought similar battles with alcohol and depression. His pain is gone and he is free of fighting the demons that tortured him. Chris Rest In Peace and keep sharing your beautiful voice in Heaven.
