Curtis Stigers - I Wonder Why (Radio 2 Piano Room)

Curtis Stigers performs his breakthrough hit for Ken Bruce live in Radio 2's Piano Room

[@annette4392]

If I won the lottery I'd pay to have him come sing this just for me.

[@allanburdge1421]

Me too

[@Mozartboy55]

Yeah. Wouldn’t it also be amazing to borrow his vocal talent to sing it ourselves as well.

[@Gurugooden]

Have you ever heard the reggae version of the same song by Martini Special ( I wonder why) 🎤 🎙 hope you like 👍

[@rikkiwhite9402]

Got fed up of my mother playing Curtis when I was younger....now I'm listening to him 25 years later 🤷

[@junksleeper]

Bought this Guy's first album in 1988 (on cassette) and sang my heart out to it on the way to work each day for months, this was my favourite track. To hear it 30 years later sounding twice as good is testament to the man's talent. Utter class!

Wow. This is a beautiful revisitation, Stigers. This guy is such a pro. He just gets better.💐

I know, right, SUKP?

[@Hondasboy1000]

I think this guy is a genius, like a fine vintage wine, he has just got better and better over the years. Taken a beautiful song and stripped it back, amazing voice

[@quickdrawmcgraw4110]

What a chord sequence, what a voice...what a song.

[@genestonge7573]

This is one of only a few songs I've ever heard (I'm 72) that still brings a tear of joy to my eye! It's right up there with 'My Girl' by the Temps.

The guy can riff on the sax as well as with his voice, magic.

[@bern1e74]

Simply outstanding..... they don’t make them like this anymore. And that’s a bloody shame.

HIS MUSIC MAKES ME CRY OF JOY 🥲 AND SADNESS TOO

[@hairychest7865]

This is an awesome rendition. PLUS.. the man is GORGEOUS

[@movingtodefcon2]

I love the original, it is just perfect in particular the saxophone fills. This compliments and contrasts well, the first few lines are like a tonic taking me back to the 80s. I think he used to have an older mans voice in a young mans body when he did the original, now the two match perfectly.

Soulful, classic and his voice has just got richer over time. Amazing

[@carenbacon9739]

I fell in love with this song when it first came out in the early 90s. I was only in junior high but have always been an old soul when it comes to music. Now, at age 42, I am coming to realize what an incredible talent this man is!

Wow 7 thumbs up..i wasn't lieing though different class mr stigers🤘🏼

[@enigmachine]

Good makes a great studio album. Great at least reaches that level in person. This exceeds it. I left similar sentiments on Curstis' VEVO of this song. You may find yourself with tears in your eyes, right about the time you hear those words, but with no idea why. You know this came from Curtis' soul. Crushing and elevating at the same time, it's achingly beautiful. It's one of those songs that, if you wrote it and never another, could validate a career. The saxophone, an instrument lacking in current music, is just the cherry on top. I found this version by a most fortunate accident. Thanks, Curtis!

[@djbyrd67]

Wow, such a moving song. Loved it when it came out years ago, just fell back in love with it. Thank you Curtis.

Such a smoothness to his voice and with the compliment of the saxophone. If I can compare it to food it’s like when you eat a good chocolate. It hits your taste buds with a rich smoothness and makes you instantly feel all good inside.
