Ronnie Dunn is one of those singers who's awesome vocals sound exactly the same live as recorded. No autotune or special effects needed. Just real pure great singing.

[@bradowen761]

It depends on the performance though. This one was epic, but I've seen and heard him come off pretty rough in concert when he's not had adequate rest.

I just sent this song to my ICU nurse Maria who took such great care of me during the worst time in my life. I had a massive widow maker heart attack on December 16th 2011 and was in the ICU for over 3 weeks and she’s the only one of my nurses that I remember because I was so incapacitated but many people helped me to leave that place but Maria (Crucita Garcia) holds a special place for many reasons. She even came to my wedding on Folly Beach six months later. We still stay in touch all these years later!

[@jerrytaylor4078]

Ronnie Dunn didn’t want to record this song, he felt it would not be as good as the original by B.W. Stevenson in 1973. Personally, I think he did a fantastic job recreating the energy that made it so popular and introducing his fans to a classic.

[@Tonetwisters]

Yeh, this is fantastic. And I love singing a third on top of his high parts ...

Ronnie Dunn is one of the greatest vocalists I've ever heard I love his voice I could listen to him 24/7

[@txdbstx8967]

Ronnie Dunn’s voice is still in amazing condition! He’s been singing well over 30 plus years! At his age, most singers have lost their vocal abilities and can no longer sing their hit songs as they had many years prior. If you don’t take care of your vocal cords and keep them in good shape along with the other key pieces that support singing then you lose it. Ronnie clearly still has it all! An incredible accomplishment on his part!

[@nicidevine6670]

You should check out the original by B.W. Stevenson.

[@keeganpetama3288]

That's for real. I first listened to BW Stephenson song in 1973 doing first year in High School. During funky weekends, it was played several times over and the encores would not fizzle out! I listened to Brooks & Dunn a few years ago and today. I am compelled to admit, it is a thrilling arrangement, especially so with its country spirit meshed up with a sweet stinging Rock'n' Roll guitar solo, you are left feeling the seventies, now!

[@jwa718]

How cool would it be seein BW AND B&D doing this live on stage? WOW! I think there's room for both versions in this world---they're equally amazing vocal work outs. Most of us are glad Ronnie did do this tune for us---hard to imagine it NOT being around now!
