finding out the story behind the song made it even more special. One of the writers couldn't dance because he'd had polio, but he loved to watch his wife dance because she enjoyed it so much...and he wrote this song for her. it added another dimension to it for me. i also really love this version of it!
I agree. My friend and I laugh because she has Judas priest stuff all over her car and loves Rob Halford. My car is plastered with Matchbox Twenty stickers. Both lead singers named Rob. I tell her all the time my Rob is better than your Rob! (No disrespect to Ron Halford.) For awhile we had our signed pictures together. Then I got an autographed "yourself or someone like you" custom guitar that was also authenticated by Beckett as well as Robs, Brian, and Kyle's. I even have Adam's. I think she was mad because I got further into matchbox by myself and she had to do a ton and spend money. I think my collection speaks volumes about how awesome matchbox is to their die hard fans. I'd show pics but they won't let me here. I also have signed vinyls.
I don't think this is the first posting for it besides a lot of people don't watch the American country music or even the Rock and roll Hall of Fame stuff like this. But yes it was underrated he got inducted as one of the youngest singer-songwriters and it should have more views. I think Lennon was probably one of the only others young singer-songwriters that got put in well and McCarthy maybe
Everything he does is amazing. He's my music god. Told him how I started singing smooth in music class in like first grade. That was the spark that ignited my matches. 😁
I'd happily save the last (or all of them for that matter) dance for you Rob...listening to your beautiful voice is one thing but watching the emotion when you sing is another.....magical....
The song was written by Doc Pomus and has been covered by the Platters and numerous others. Doc Pomus was a polio survivor who could not walk without crutches and he wrote the song after his wedding where he had told his wife to go out and dance which he could not do and which she loved. She told him she would save the last dance for him and a song was born.
In concert in Nashville in the mid-90's, Matchbox 20 covered 'Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys'...absolutely amazing!!! The crowd was wild for it!! Love all his / their original music too, Rob can sing anything. I love his voice! So unique, you know from the first note who's singing. No one else sounds like Rob--and Rob sounds like no one else. A true original.
I wish he would release a cd of his covers, they are better than the originals. Especialy the ones from live at Daryls house, he is in a league of his own and most people don't know it!!!
One of my favorites and when Rob sings this song my heart just melts cause the story is so unbelievably Loving. He couldn't dance with the love of his life so he sacrificed his love for her to allow her to dance with another man, all so she could be able to dance. Such a beautiful story of love Thank you for singing it, your voice is a blessing to hear.🫶🫶

🥀Beautiful Amazing Song I've always loved this song and this Man he's so creative and knows how to keep us coming back for more. Awesome Job & GOD BLESS YOU🥀☝️🥀
Soooo many things - True Colors, Father Figure, Dancing In The Dark, Stuck In The Middle, No One Is To Blame... Rob Thomas can perform as great as the original artists! Have you heard those (all on here)? Please check them out if you haven't. Hope you enjoy them.
LOOVE this beautiful man...his voice is literally too much there's absolutely nothin that he doesn't make sound great...he can literally sing anything... I literally have to hear him sing everyday&then at night as I fall asleep to his beautiful angelic voice...#ILOVEUROBTHOMAS #MATCHBOX20 #FANSINCEDAYONETILLFOREVER 😍💋❤️
I had the hardest time tearing my eyes away from this. This was sooo beautiful :) and thanks to my parents i've been listening to Rob Thomas since I was little. This made me think of the guy i've liked for two years. He's semi-famous, but i've watched him become that way, and I hope and pray with all my heart that he will save the last dance for me.
Now Im not a romantic and dont get caught up in feelings and yes i got walls up but that right there just broke walls down....just beautiful.....my God....
🥀Beautiful Sad Song in so many ways. I believe Rob Thomas did a remarkable job on cover on this and truly made it his own. It's a powerful ballad and I love it.🥀☝️🥀
If you Google what this song means it so fucking awesome. The artist who wrote it had polio and was in a wheelchair and he wanted his bridge to enjoy her wedding day to him by being able to Dance with other men who could walk! Such a beautiful song and the meaning is lovely
circa 1994- the original band name was "Tabithas' Secret" - as they were changing names, we caught them at "The Satellite Lounge" on Washington St. in Houston. Rob was worn out and tired that night and i ran into him at the water cooler. he was very kind to stop and ask if i was ready for the show? I have been a MB20 fan ever since!

One of the writers couldn't dance because he'd had polio, but he loved to watch his wife dance because she enjoyed it so much...and he wrote this song for her. it added another dimension to it for me. i also really love this version of it!
I never knew that, that’s a lovely story
I Love this version and I listen to it Every Day at least once. The story behind it Breaks my Heart and also Warms my Soul.

Doc Pomus🙂
Thank you for that. It absolutely has a whole new respect and love for this song.
And yes, Rob does a great cover! ❤
How can he sound better live than in a recording studio? Rob is annoyingly underrated.
This dude could sing the phone book
He did a very good job with an old song but yes he could probably sing the phone book and we'd still Love it.
phone book LOL best comment ever and so true.
@@debtho5673 OMG right
Absolutely
@Larsen-Gandee Jennifer He could sing the phone book!!
❤️Rob Thomas is the most talented singer, musician, and songwriter I've known
Ditto!!!!! ❤
He doesn't even need instruments to sing!! Dudes cool!
What an amazing artist. Rob Thomas has a beautiful ability and I couldn't be happier that we've got him in music today.
What an incredible talent, his heart is golden, his voice is silky💙💚💜
This one of my favorite songs and I love Rob singing it. AMAZING 👏
Rob Thomas is hands down my all time favorite artist! Love his admiration AND anger he puts into every song.

He's so talented and I feel grateful to hear a great musician such as him.
This is a special recording. So so good. Best cover I've ever heard of this song.
I'd happily save the last (or all of them for that matter) dance for you Rob...listening to your beautiful voice is one thing but watching the emotion when you sing is another.....magical....
I would save every dance for him 💕

I just adore Rob when he sings from his heart and soul ❤️ so unique ☺️🤗👍

I really love when he sings and close his eyes...
O yeah!! Then listen very good! Then the surprise of the story comes to you and wait a minute and wait then he springs it upon you and it's great!
Wow, Rob, you are so talented. I never would have imagined you singing this song...You are awesome!
I grew up with this song, heard it sung by the greats & Rob does a wonderful job on this genuine old classic.

🦋Beautiful Song with a Powerful message from his heart to her's 🦋☝️
You killed it Robbie...I like your rendition...Respectfully, Anita from Long Island.
I grew up listening to my parents playing the Freddy Fender version of this song. Good songs span decades!
This was one of the first of "our songs"...
I miss my sunshine.
I love you still Maria.
Its the greatest cover of this song !!! Just amazing :)
I just love everything Rob sings, whether he wrote it or not. Love this; thanks for the upload!
Made famous by the Drifters around 1960.
2023 - remains one of the most beautiful covers ever. Happily listen to this on a daily basis.
