Phil Perry is soooo underrated. WONDERFUL voice👍

@arthurthegreat216 8 жыл бұрын

+Marlyn Hunter Yes! Everything about his singing is just stupefyingly good. Also, he puts so much heart in every performance, it's really beautiful. The first time I actually heard Phil Perry was this video. I was blown away by him! I got some of his albums but haven't had the chance to give them a careful listen yet. Could you perhaps recommend me some Phil Perry albums? Thanks :)

This version is the best concert version of this song. But Eric Tagg's original is irreplaceable. I can listen to it again and again.

@blindbat2416 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry, I've listen to the original with Eric Tagg and it is replaceable, it's called Phil Perry.

@mcdonaldsfreewifi7262 Жыл бұрын

@@blindbat2416 Agreed. Eric polished the song and added flavour to it, was beautiful. Phill however added soul, emotion, and passion - he had added so much to this that I thought it was his own song, until I realised I had heard the original a long time ago. It’s satisfying like a meal.

@scotabot7826 Жыл бұрын

Yes, Eric's original version is by far the Best. Phil is a great vocalist, but this is Eric;s song!!

Although this song was released in 1981....it has that late 1970s vibe.

@vesean4141 10 ай бұрын

I love both versions,Phil has been around for a long time (anyone ever hear of The Montclairs) and his voice is still in top shape,Eric sang the recorded version,what I don’t care for is the debate of who did it better,when in fact it’s neither of their song,it’s Lee Ritenour’s (can the longtime studio guitarist get some love) and credit him for choosing the right singer for the proper time, if you’ve ever seen the full concert you know that Phil carried the vocals with ease,also dynamic band of studio musicians killing it live held down by the great bassist Jimmy “Flim” Johnson and drummer Carlos Vega,Lee is still one of my favorite players along with Larry Carlton,Steve Lukather, (as far as studio musicians go)

I agree Perry does this song justice but I like Eric Taggs ( who wrote the song) original version better. Same with Mr. Briefcase, Turn the Heat UP and other Tagg originals that Phil Perry does cover versions of.
