Can we just take a moment (or several) to appreciate how Jaron is able to recreate the hardest parts of these vocally challenging songs like they're nothing? Bravo!

[@Lyrikalskate]

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@dobeus8957]

He’s fun to watch cuz he loves what he does and when he gets excited it gets me excited until I try and sing then it reminds me why I watch! He should take one of us and see if he can handle it😂😂😂

[@garyfranco7827]

It is amazing!!!

[@angelaclark-smith5341]

Yesssss!!!!!

[@danahoward759]

Absolutely, it's awesome to witness

[@k_perry]

Lisa Fischer is the GOAT (to ME). Her voice does something to my spirit.

[@kristenaustin4645]

Mine too

[@gracefullyblessed6106]

Agreed

[@LLtheeworshipper]

For real for real...very unique voice. Gives chills!

[@LadyDos2008]

Talk about unsung.

[@kheperakatuma3341]

Give me goosebumps everytime!!

[@taodevane9139]

That is why she sung backround for Luther, Chaka and The Rolling Stones. THE DIVA IS FIERCE!!!!!!!

[@DaQuan-Boyd]

Don’t forget Tina Turner to!

[@novalove4790]

She still sings with the Rolling Stones

[@nf3982]

She sang with them at the same time!! They were on tour at the same time one year.

[@Mrskmdumas12]

Don’t forget Sting, too. 😊

[@myraallen2951]

She made money

[@chriscraven95]

Lisa Fischer is classically trained. That's why she precise and clean with her vocals

[@jackeeo824]

She is the total package. A Grammy for this song from her debut album, the poise, the look, the sound!

[@drippyindica6782]

I love her

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Yes, let's give some praise to her styling/outfit. She looked incredible!

[@lastaviusdarby2771]

Exactly! She has the whistle tone ability of a Mariah Carey/Ariana Grande with the richness of a Whitney Houston/Patti Labelle! Indeed, she is the total package and for this reason is my favorite singer!

[@therebelsunflower]

Lisa is incredible! She was in a documentary called 20 feet from stardom where she states that being in the forefront was too much for her. She prefers being a background singer.

[@msjad68]

That was an awesome documentary! Very insightful.

[@atiyah9369]

Loved the documentary!!

[@tamaikomays4040]

Didn't know that.

[@Retropopstop]

Great documentary. What a voice

[@eskyles98]

I met Lisa too. Such a divinely sweet and soulful presence. I’ve followed her on social media a bit. My instinct (not based on anything she has expressed directly) is that the fakeness of The Industry, its extreme demands on the psyche of women singers who are expected to be perfectly skinny, beautiful, and sexual wasn’t something she wanted to carry alone. She adored Luther and being a part of his background vocalists. She loved the work, and learned tons from Luther on how to perform and captivate a crowd with your talent and artistry, with elegance and class. She did her Rolling Stones solos for 20 years, where she was the female foil to rocker Mick Jagger, where she displayed lots of wild and raw sex appeal. And then she went back for the background when it was over. I think she retained as much of her authentic self as she could … Now she is solo and she can be Bohemian, focus on her artistry, and not be worried about her age or her weight. And I’m so here for it 🤌🏾🤌🏾

[@lamontstevens8235]

Her Whitney and mikki Howard are the queens of changing arrangements and giving something new every time they sing the same song

[@coreykirby2618]

Lisa Fischer has one of the most intense voices on the face of this Earth.

[@needahandle]

Of operatic proportions. Wonder why she did not go that route. Incredible voice. It has everything, power, range, beautiful texture/ tone, technically brilliant

[@TamaraLeaMusic]

I have seen Lisa live and she was incredible! I met her after the show and she was the kindest, warmest person ever. She has never full had her due. Why oh why could she have been able to flourish at the same time as Whitney?!?!?! The industry is brutal! Thank you for focusing on her. She deserves to be honoured for her art.

[@k_perry]

Her label fumbled her BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw her live for the first time in December of last year. I wanted to cry so hard. LOL. She's my absolute favorite vocalist..

[@Sttephy30]

Didn't she say superstardum wasn't for her tho? And that she'd rather be in the background?

[@baobabs727]

That finishing note sounded like Whitney! Lisa won her first Grammy in a tie with Patti Labelle. They were great friends. They also both loved and were close to Luther, personally and professionally. Patti once said that Lisa was one of those rare singers that the industry could not find a box for …and something to the effect that she was another Patti LaBelle and that she may never achieve the commercial success that she deserves.

[@brijithixxx1388]

Mick Jagger allowed her to tour with him for a reason.

[@len1975]

She is a vocalist beast and should have been on top at her prime!!!

[@qowabhoo]

She puts so much feeling into this!!! As a kid I would listen to this and feel like I had pain to ease 😂

[@hughcooper1856]

And she won a grammy for co writing that gorgeous track

[@ewilliams8099]

Gorgeous indeed and shared Grammy win with Patti.

[@cindeed4422]

Her voice is so rich! There are many note changes in this song. Everyone can’t do that! She reminds me of both Angela Bofill and Angela Winbush from Rene and Angela. Please do her. Your Smile or Angel if you haven’t already. Thank you.

[@sweetfe545]

Angela Bofill definitely had artistry in her voice. Angela Winbush was the better half of Rene however.

[@cindeed4422]

@Sweet Fe Thanks for the correction. I meant both Angela’s.

[@bramcancan8488]

So glad you chose to do Lisa Fischer.....you read my mind. I had been wanting for weeks for you to do a video analyzing her out of this world vocal skill.... She is truly in my opinion a freak of vocal nature even today. I love and am completely blown away every time I hear the sounds of music coming out of her. One of my favorites of all time. She's definitely a force of nature as well. Beautiful!!! Thank you !!!! I wish you can do one on Lisa in present time and how she manipulates 2 microphones to create such amazing sound and atmosphere.....she reaches the stratospheres. 🥰🙌🏽🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@jamelodythomas3771]

What bout I’ve learned to respect the power of love Angela wrote for Stephanie mills but her version is 🔥

[@tiajackson2270]

Also, is she an alto, contralto, soprano?

[@lisac.bradford9293]

Lisa is the truth. Saw her when she did backup for Luther Vandross. She was fire! And that's one of my all time fav songs.

[@xenakaii]

Her voice always gives me chills.....amazing!

[@MrMarkymark005]

Right?! She deserves far more flowers than she receives.

[@tghamilton1079]

This woman live will snatch your soul! She sings with three microphones! I met her afterwards and could barely speak, but she was so humble and kind. She took pictures and talked with everyone. A fabulous talent! After you see Lisa and Ledisi live, you won't think that anyone else can sing. Search KZbin for videos of her live and be blessed. This woman deserves all of the accolades! Thanks for this video.

[@rosebutch]

Lol! I forgot this about her!!! I saw her live and was so mesmerized! She's amazing and I love that she's a Sagittarius. I feel like she's deeply a teacher & student always and creates a vibe. Really puts you in a trance. She's the sweetest! Very cool and extremely talented woman.

[@shannon_d]

I wanted to sing just like her when I was a kid. She's phenomenal!

[@anayamccreary]

Same

[@Spiano29]

[@mariesingh2104]

[@photogenic305]

Whewwwwww!!! Quiet storms, good ole days. 🖤

[@triciaclark5370]

I have always been a fan. She doesn't get enough credit. I followed her since she sang background for Luther Vandross. This woman can blow.

[@christopherwatson1065]

Wait a minute. Now how can he do that type of critique, sing like Lisa, and then sing Bach on the side. He did THE most. And then there’s Lisa, another vocal beast. This was all too much☠️

[@user-ib6nk9zu8k]

Lisa is a singers singer. Simply amazing.

[@Anime5666]

Recent Lisa Fischer is still a beast! She may not be in that high register as much anymore but she will sing someone under the table.

[@sisjones623]

Yasss ok !! She uses her entire being as an instrument

[@VenusLoveJones]

I get chills every time I hear Lisa deliver this song and hit that one note like it's nothing. I love how you compared it to a whistle, but it's still in the realm of voice.

[@lamaradrian1]

"The textured of a whistle tone and the texture of voice". I love it!!!!

[@wakandaforever5328]

I wish more singers today had classical training. That foundation allows you to play more and your voice lasts longer.

[@sosexymagazinerobinwatkins8467]

Definitely!!!! Bel Canto... beautiful singing!

[@phyllisbrown2941]

Lisa = genius …Jaron=genius ❤️❤️

[@karlastewart4537]

I remember her from singing background for Luther Vandross. And I thought...WOW..she is absolutely amazing. I often heard about how picky Luther could be and how he didn't play about his music. He only wanted the best of the best on tour with him and he didn't disappoint having Ms Fischer on board. Lisa, by far, is the only one that could match Luther's vocals. Together, their performances were second to none.

[@dontelindsey5846]

Imo I think she exceeded him and that's not an easy task.

[@lisabassyoung772]

The differences between this and the original recording shows the mastery of her voice. The slight changes of what she did in studio and this live version....amazing

[@Stevenet1]

LOVE HER!!!! Love her album!!! She puts so many of todays artists to shame!

[@ralex3697]

[@TheLorraine3008]

I cannot tell you how many times I have watched this performance. She is AMAZING!!!!

[@SweetT116]

i just love listening to discussions about vocal techniques. analyzing how she's using precision, placement, air release, vowel sounds, phrasing, texture, placement, vocal folds, diphthongs, vocal stops, vocal studies.. ah! you even talked about her torso alignment! just so much knowledge about the art of singing. thank you your sharing your gift! this absolutely fascinating to me.

[@SweetT116]

we stan a technical singer!! and you'd better just sing down demonstrating her technique! then you giving us bach, gospel, etc. at the end?! good grief!

One of the most epic performances of all time. She made her choice to step away, but she's Whitney and Mariah tier, no argument!

[@courtneyward7149]

Truth she went back to being a back up for Luther, she don’t want that lifestyle in which is a wise choice.

[@mashanti_worldwide]

What a masterful interpretive and emotive vocalist Lisa is.

[@realg9927]

She has an angelic voice with a lot of technical skills. I remember hearing this song when I was a teenager on the radio. I just wonder why she did not get the praise in the industry that she deserved. She has a special talent and she is very good looking too. She should of been major like Whitney. What has she been doing all these years? Haven't heard anything new from her all this time.

[@Sttephy30]

She didn't want superstardum, she said it was too much. She's a legendary background singer tho.

[@noel5280]

@@sherrimassey9178 yes but she wasn't a superstar like you would think she would of been. But she avoided superstardom is what I am hearing. But why not make many albums with a voice like that? That's mainly what I am saying. Why she didn't have other hit songs like this one? I think you understand what I am saying

[@mistydong68]

@@realg9927 it's soooo heart-wrenching when talents such as THIS don't want to step forward. Having said that I totally get it. Seeing first hand what the greats she has backed go through, it's not for everybody. Some of THE MOST phenomenal voices prefer to sing background where they can still follow their passion for singing and not become bogged down with the "Business" of the music industry. Totally get it. GOSH wish I could sing as half as good as Lisa. Pure talent.

Now when I tell you I have been waiting on YOU to analyze this performance from Ms. Lisa! She has sooo much control and fluidity in that high space of notes. It's unmatched! She's a singer that had (and has) a mega voice and can easily be up there with the greats of vocalists (career-wise) but she just didn't quite want the burdens that came with being a star. But she is a star! And dare I say that I have yet to hear anyone attempt to cover this song. Your duplication of her at 6:59 made my eyes widen! But you always match when you do that.
