Wow! I love this song! I love this crowd (notice the makeup). Why have we changed? We are ONE PEOPLE, ONE COUNTRY! WE ENJOY THE SAME THINGS: SAFETY, JUSTICE, ENJOYMENT OF FREEDOM, LOVE OF GREAT MUSIC! PLEASE LET US COME BACK TOGETHER! NOT FIGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER BUT JOIN WITH EACH OTHER! OUR COUNTRY IS FALLING, ASK YOURSELF WHY.

[@trevorpark7768]

I was thinking the same thing. The crowd seems to represent a kinder and gentler time in our country--an educated and enlightened electorate. No posturing, no angry expressions, no sinister looking hoodies, no visible tattoos covering the neck and no basketball shorts or ball caps turned backwards. A time when conspiracy theorists and Q-ANON adherents were on the fringe and not worth giving the time of day to.

[@thekeysman6760]

As a session musician myself, I have to note that the few cracked notes before the outro vamp of his what we call faux falsetto which is on the majority of the verses is what keeps us on the edge, and makes it a greater performance! He actually hits true falsetto at the end, and my head always explodes with glee!

[@blueray3361]

Sooo beautiful! Philip Bailey is king of falsetto. EWF was so ahead of their time. Their energy was strong. I’m in my 60s and still get stoked every time I hear them. Miss Maurice very much.
