If you aren’t a singer, you have to realize how many different techniques Stevie uses here in this performance. This song is EXTREMELY difficult to sing. Generally if you have the range that Stevie has, you don’t have the power and if you have the power you don’t have the range. Guy is a FREAKING. GENIUS. Just an absolute flawless performance and guy was doing like 250-300 shows a year at this time of his life, and still managed to blow the absolute top of of this difficult vocal. I Didn’t even get to his piano playing, geez it’s always phenomenal. What a master.

He's incredible...only years into my own singing and RETURNING to his performances did I realize how difficult it is, because he makes it sound like just like it's nothing.

@smurf902 Жыл бұрын
@@danieleb6863 the sustaining at the end has such a nearly cosmic effect on the mic, it's like it's just at the edge of distortion from being so rich and powerful. And yet opens it up and then releases and STILL closes the vowel, which is super hard to do yet it's all within his control. Also the notes he just riffs to above the original melody that he doesn't sustain are like stratospheric that aren't even strained or anything. It's like his range at this point was limitless. There was a point mid-70s where Streisand also did some live stuff that seems nearly impossible. It's like what someone would imagine they could do if their entire range was accessible from belting and never having to flip into head.

Idk why people took this on joke. His former girlfriend Syreeta Wright used some very lookalike hairdo in the early 70’s, maybe they weren’t together in 1980, but Stevie love that feeling of hair. Suddenly Stevie started to feel more open to dress in hair something different. But yes, Stevie is the best we’ve known. (In that period of time)
