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

[@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!

Me too. Had a CD and a concert, was sooo great.

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

2025 and this cd is playing on repeat in my car ❤

[@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

[@youizavinabubble]

Heard this on smooth radio while I was driving to work. Had to pull over and search it before I forgot this banger lol. Great song.

[@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.

Don’t need the lottery ticket I seen him do this with Ronnie Scott’s Orchestra at Cheltenham Jazz. Brilliant performance there was tear drops in my eyes.

Good choice. I will do that too. And I’ll be a back up singer

Heard this song for the first time about 20 years ago on a British show - stars in their eyes. This guy came on ans sang this song . I hunted down the song , bought the CD and been a fan since . His voice is like nothing else - simply incredible 🎶🎶🎶

HIS MUSIC MAKES ME CRY OF JOY 🥲 AND SADNESS TOO

[@RedOakCrow]

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

[@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.

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!

Every time, Stigers. 🙏❤️💐 Cheers, fella. That's some damn fine vintage wine right there.

[@jordanbrown3912]

Great voice, great musician and handsome bloke #jealous

[@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!

[@mttyboy]

A staggeringly talented man

Agreed, although I was in my early 20s when Stigers started hitting the UK charts. Takes me back in the nicest way.

[@shannonferguson4810]

Stigers has clearly cared for his voice over the years. He sings as beautifully now as he did in the past, and not many vocalists can achieve that as they age. Bravo, Curtis!

[@Nellsmum22]

We saw him with Ronnie Scott's Big Band last night at Birmingham Town Hall, it was wonderful. He has the most seductive voice & has fantastic presence.

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.
