[@DM-cl1oq]

A true professional. Steve has probably played this song thousands of.times yey he gives.it his all. Well done Steve.

[@freetickeys]

Little Stevie has gotten older like the rest of us. Still sounds great! Stay healthy everyone!

[@youflatscreentube]

“Let me smell the moon in your perfume.” What an amazing, artistically genius line! That one line alone represents more lyrical talent than many full careers.

[@mrjohnnywheels]

When you really love her it's the sweetest thing imaginable.

[@petergozinya6122]

I imagine the moon smells like cheese…..right ?

[@stevenmiller7747]

Yeah right dude lol. This is a silly little pop song.

@@stevenmiller7747 Oh hush. It's sweet and romantic.

[@nealiecruz2532]

@@stevenmiller7747 Have you and someone else ever wanted to meet in the middle of the night?? It’s far from silly. Get in touch with your romantic side. You won’t regret it!!

WOW! I love this! He's still got it. One of the sweetest tunes ever.

[@penelopelopez8296]

He’s awesome.

[@jamestong2008]

His passion and the way he sings really put a smile on my face always. This song is my soulful song. Thanks Steve.

[@johnglover4453]

Just discovered this fellow literally all of minutes ago, and, instantly, am, like?! How in the name of Grace have I never heard of Steve before??? OmG!!! Such a timeless, haunting, voice, with words that cut as deep as a soul goes! Wow!!! Only Jeff Buckley, and so few others, have given me blessed goosebumps like this. This Forbert fellow is the real deal! Just, Wow!

[@jchis9852]

Romeo's Tune was a Top 20 hit for him in 1979.

[@TheOriginalYitsan]

The whole album that this track is on is awesome stuff. Jackrabbit Slim.

Steve hasn’t gotten a minute older. Still same age gap between us all as ever…and that voice is still golden

[@Jindy2]

And he even looks great too!

[@joachimstrauss1950]

What a performance and not to forget, what a delicate lead guitar! Well done boys.

[@alanoneill3065]

I love his left foot pounding out the beat! Great percussion

[@runningbeard7380]

Dear lord that is good. He has aged in a whiskey barrel apparently.

[@Jindy2]

LOL @running beard, you nailed it!

[@jodyhoffman1405]

Who hasn't from those days?

[@mrdave777]

I’ve seen his performance numerous times from 1979. What an energy, what a presence, and he had a voice. All respect Steve!!

[@Blood_Sweat_Gears]

Great tune, takes me back to such a great memorable time and place.

[@diannareese6940]

One of my favorite 70's songs ever!!!!❤ 🎵 I was born in the late 60s but I'm definitely a lover of everything Seventies. Thank you for making my heart smile

[@Bkgoodman11]

What an awesome voice - and the harmonica interpretation of such an iconic piano track is great!

[@marksica6776]

One of the best songs ever recorded

[@ridingroy]

Beautiful. Worked on a bill with him last week and he was phenomenal. Long may he run.

[@joevanseeters2873]

Damn, Steve sounds awesome and looks great for his age. This was one of my favorite songs back in the early 80's.

[@chriscobbdrummer6876]

Probably one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@hannesch.eibinger5538]

RIP my cousin who had all of Steve's albums and loved his music.

[@dianecluck3803]

So great, 40 years later. Mucho respect !!!

[@danielordorica5857]

I had had this song in the back of my memory, like an earworm. For years. I remembered hearing it, and I tried to find it on the internet but couldn't find it. Until now.

[@michaelraiger623]

“We’ll weather down behind the light and fade like magazines.” A metaphor and simile in one line. And both work together. This song is wonderful musically and a bit of very good poetry. Steve Forbert is a treasure.

[@kimabbott4373]

Sounds as good as he did at Golden Voice in South Pekin 40 years ago.

[@frankebisch7168]

It's a great preformance!

[@ThatBobGuy850]

Goddammit man, how do you still sound the same at 69 as you did in '79? Jeez, this takes me back. Great rendition, Steve - much enjoyed!

[@mariadmaldonado7979]

He still sounds awesome.

[@mikekuhn214]

TY Steve and the other gentleman 4 offering this 2 us. Magnificent

[@robmirror]

Love this version

[@dajdools8834]

This is gonna sound strange, but this song convinced me to move to Atlanta. In 80' I was living in Cleveland, but I realized that I needed a change from the nasty Northern weather. I kept hearing this awesome tune, plus when he says, " bring me Southern kisses from your room". I kept romanticizing about meeting a real Southern girl, so it has been 41 years and I haven't looked back since. Oh yeah, I sure met my share of beautiful Southern girls. Great tune...

[@nomnomnom8116]

Such a great song! thank you!

[@VirgilDavis]

Wow, voice sounds the same. Great song.

[@Sparkymalarky70]

So love this song.

[@gg9960]

My favorite tune....missisippi poetry

[@danielordorica5857]

Wow! You still got it, Steve.

[@RakuOGaia]

Great! Love how the harp substitutes seamlessly for that iconic piano part in the original recording and the lovely complementary guitar licks.

[@CorneBiekens]

I always loved your songs and singing voice since 'Jackrabbit slim'. Great to hear you still have it. Thank you very much! 🙂

[@darlenelewis5200]

Just discovering Steve! His unique voice has served him well over the years.

[@navmark77]

Love hearing Steve’s current rendition of this great song. I do miss the piano part, which i always loved.

[@apace1253]

Great song. Loved it then, love it now.

[@andrewworek3334]

I've followed Steve Forbert since the Little Stevie Orbit album as a college freshman in 1980. I've seen him perform in various small venues. Excellent. Puts his heart and soul into every performance. Song For Katrina is my favorite. If you ever have a chance to see him, ....do it !

[@grantatkinson1202]

So so good. Not sure who his sidekick is, but it's worth watching and listening to his beautiful guitar work the whole way through. It dances around Steve's vocal in a melodic & unobtrusive way. When so little gives so much more... Stunning version, one of my favourites.
