Outstanding! You sang our song with so much soul and conviction. My hat's off too you my friend. Keep it up...that was great and you owned it. Jeff Carlisi
@@scottd3532 Grand Funk covered our song. However, Max Carl who was in 38 Special and co-wrote the song with me and Cal Curtis is now GF’s singer. That’s why they perform it. JC
@@Meatball3800 right on ,Ive been figuring out the chords for the song the last couple days..I've allways loved ,38 special , I used too crank it all the time in my big buick regal back in the 90's..lol..thanks for the reply
Always felt like this song should have been recorded slower than it originally was....great job!!! And how about some likes for that keyboard player too!! 👍
Parker, my wife and I left a bar in St. Louis Saturday afternoon cause the country singer was not very good. IF you had been there singing and played this. HOLY SHIT, I'm staying. This is SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL, WOW. I love 38 Special and this tune, listened to it all the time on the radio when this came out back in the 80's, On the radio all the time, it was VERY popular. You do this classic proudly, NICE work.
I absolutely love this song...I wanted to hear it slower and stripped down...my boyfriend came across your version..and it just gave me chills...what a gift you have..thank you for making my evening!!! I haven't quit smiling since I have heard this...you are Amazing!! Thank You!!❣🎶🎵❤
Stand and deliver. Flawless and absolutely captivating. Standing ovation and encore. Cannot stop watching this! Detected some real Steve Perry timbre moments in there. A tick of approval from one of the songwriters himself, Jeff Carlisi, below says it all!
Parker James is one of the best live bands we have in our casino’s here in Shreveport Louisiana . My favorite is when he sings journey songs.. he’s good. Can’t wait til he comes back here..
I gotta say, when i found this, I did not expect much. Not a lot of views and few comments, but you have an amazing voice, and this is my favorite cover I found of this song on youtube. You really made this your song. Great expression and phrasing. Keep singing it.
My, my, my, you sang this song!👏💕Love the phrasing and passion put into the song. If you don’t already sing for a living, you need to go on The Voice or get an album out or something. Awesome job!
I know it's cliche to say, "why would anyone dislike this video", but this dude sang every note on key, got plenty of soul, damn near made a grown man cry. Jesus, there really are some miserable people in this world
Wow dude ! Nice job. I love this song by 38special. I heard this song in the laundromat tonight and got emotional, My wife lives in Canada I'm in idaho. we been married since 2000 and I was traveling back and forth I made a mistake by overstaying a visit in 2008 hypothetically cause I did go back and forth before the 6 month stay and tried 3 years ago 2015 and the Canadian border wouldn't let me pass. We've talked over the years skyped, text, phone, mail. it's breaking my heart, feels like i'm living in a communist country over a damn imaginary line. Gods Country ! Not Humans. It's not our world to oppress people.
IMO, its very rare that a cover matches the original, but you exceeded it, and I LOVE 38's original version with Max's voice. An extra added bonus is he was one of the writers, and I always bow to the writer when he/she performs the song, but your version is terrific, top shelf. I've probably listened to this 100 times in a few months. Great job, I hope you write your own stuff too. I would love to hear it.
Very blessed to know this amazing man. He's such a fun soul to be around. I can't find it on RUclips but if you ever get to hear him sing Tennessee whiskey you will melt 💖💖
dear friend, you have sang that song like if your own, it shows that you feel it, you express love and it can be seen in your aura...keep on sharing your gift, the entire world need you and those with gigantic heart like yours...God bless you and those that you touch with your voice...best regards from your friend from down under Ernie Ramos.
Holly hell that was great! Simply beautiful!!! I would love to hear him sing it with a band backing him. Maybe as a guest singer with .38 Special one night. They need to hire this old boy. I swear I believe he nailed it with more feeling than Max ever did. Don't get me wrong Max is great but damn this is something else and with just a keyboard behind him. I just listened to Max sing it with Grand Funk and I gotta say Parker's got him beat these days.
You really nailed the feeling of this song like no other...I would love to hear a similar treatment, with just you and the piano of their song," If I`d been the one", another song with very powerful lyrics..
I was online looking for a way to play a slower stripped down acoustic version of this song and then suddenly I came upon your version and I was so so surprised, you proved it could be done.
Singers shows us how it is done. Our hearts goes through through the song and adds creative rendition of a very special song for him and all us. A beautiful song that reaches deep into our souls and hearts brought to us by a very special voice and singer. We need to see and hear more from this singer.

I'd pay money just to see this guy live on stage.... fantastic my man!
The original is stunning. But the emotion with this just brought me to tears. What a wonderful rendition!

After two years I‘m still oberwhelmed. This is definitely the best version of this great song.

Holy hell is that gorgeous. You have a wonderful gift and the way you honor that gift is to sing like this. Absolutely unreal.
Better than the original...i swear
@@jasonthomas4718 you're joking right?
What woman wouldn't forgive a guy that sang her a song like this guy sang this one. Damn I can't quit listening to it. That'll make a grown man cry!
You should put this out on Country Radio. It would do well!
Masterclass rendition of a great song ..

I've listened to several versions of the song. 38 special was great, but this version was soulful and passionate. I really enjoyed this version.
I had to get in on this action! Fantastic job! I’m in the music business and it’s the exception to see talent that doesn’t need anything but a piano!
