As a longtime ago rockstar, ST was one of the best sounds and talent that still resonates today! We covered my of their songs and still get movin when I hear them today... What a voice that will live in infamy.
A real tough song to cover, you guys nailed it! Even without the horns the guitars filled it. Great solo. I just realized John Townsend was on the vocal, no wonder it was spot on! This song is nothing short of a jem!
Man, what a great tune. Did ST ever write anything as good? Townsend has one of those gifted voices, for sure, and I wish he had been able to have a bigger career. That he can still pull off this song 30 years later shows just what a talent he was. But seeing him cramped off to the side (to get a spotlight?) is a bit depressing. I guess the ego of the lead beard guitarist was too big to let Townsend take main center stage where he belongs. Friggin' musicians...
@TheBigEd56 not bad. Missing the incredible alto-clarinet bits from the original, but still pretty tasty. John looks a little animic, if you've ever seen the original. Orange hair?
Can't help it! After 60 years of rock music, I still think this is the Number 1 song ever produced. Very good stuff, Sanford-Townsend.
One of the best voices ever
Its nice to see that Townsend can still deliver. What a wonderful song. Thanks for the post.
Lots of great memories of this song on the radio in the 70's. Thanks

Great. Great. Great. I had almost forgotten about this song. Thanks for the reminder of how truly classic it is...
Fabulous, will always be a classic!
John Townsend has such an amazing voice. I hope he realizes how much he has inspired so many singers out there. Keep it up, John.

Fantabulous! 🎼💞😃
Great stuff! Love this song, and he still sounds good.
Remarkable song, sung by the real voice!

Most everything at our age doesn't get up quite that high anymore, but it's all good, live, love, get a truck with an automatic ...
great cover, great song
Mike Miller
Great voice. Reminds me a little of Darryl Hall.
Dave Martinez i always thought it was Daryl Hall until recently
That’s weird. I had NEVER thought he sounds like DH but now that y’all said that his voice does have a similar sound.
@benellidown well stated .

@Jazsngr what cheating went on, first I have heard of anything?
A great tune! Shame the other musicians had to hog up the stage.
@layton59 Boz Scaggs? He's a fucking master. duh.
Audio quality from this live recording is really poor. Sound is distorted and unbalanced. Not worth listening to for that reason.
Just another example that nothing/ but nothing sounds like a Les Paul !!!###
