His voice is different gravy in this period, this clip is great but tiny dancer on the old grey whistle test and border song have sustained his status despite virtually (not quite) being crap for the last 40 years The really great singers lose something as they get older and it’s a similar thing but not vibrant out as tuneful rod is the same - amazing in the same period

This is what makes a great cover...adapting a song to your own style...respecting the original but not copying it.

Nancy must be a Bernie Taupin fan, like many of us. Bernie wrote "These Dreams" as well, which was a huge Heart hit and Nancy did the vocals. The lyrics are beautiful in both of those songs, and these 2 girls can sing them better than most. Close to my favourite Elton song too, but I'm a fan of a lot of his work. Particularly the earlier music.

Can’t believe the amazing vocals and guitar playing by Nancy Wilson!

Amazingly talented sisters! :)
