Who said this was lipped? This epic vocal performance was 100% LIVE! Benny is an AMAZING vocalist, wow!

Can't believe the perfection in his voice singing live. The intensity and feeling that came from him is absolutely amazing.

One of the most underappreciated singers ever. The man had great tone and an incredible vocal range. The words to the song are nothing but pure magic.. Thanks Benny for one he'll of a terrific song.. They don't make them like this anymore!

The passion! That voice! Nothing can compare and he was so under appreciated. I have always loved this song!

I grew up with this mans music!! Saw him at his last performance in Las Vegas. He had Parkinsons. We all sang the song with him! I cried like a baby!! Best concert!!

It's a rare thing to see someone out-sing their own original recording. This is just tremendous.

Rest in Peace Benny, you had the voice of an Angel. November 9, 1946 - June 29, 2020

Benny had a voice like no other. This has always been one of my favorite songs. And Benny owned it. I wish he was still with us.

This man pushed that last note high into the heavens , and his spirit followed when he left us ... Half the time I listen to this live performance over the recorded version , amazing performance , thank you for leaving this with us Benny ❤️

And this is live ladies and gentlemen....What a voice

Benny nailed that live version and he knew it at 4:19. Fucking right Benny, we love that song. R.I.P. my brother. Noone will ever forget you.

Having lived in Syracuse NY my entire life I had the privilege to witness this song live at least 100 times over the past 34years along with many other great songs Always put on a hell of a show

Benny’s range and passion were just remarkable!!

He sang the hell out of that song

The greatest rock love song ever made.And Benny sang the hell out of it.No one can sing this song better than him.

How many artists can perform live and sound just as good as the studio version? Benny was one in a million!

This is one of the strongest vocal performances I've ever seen...

This guy did no lip singing and always sounded the same... that's incredible... what a voice....no tears Benny you we're good very good......rip.............

Everyone in that room was blessed to have witnessed this vocal performance. Absolutely beautiful and pure !! The sound of a truly broken heart...

First of all, This has to be one of the most difficult songs to sing ever.... And Benny sang it better than the original recording. Defineatly one of the best live performances ever. What a voice!!!!!

BENNY DIED TODAY. REST IN PEACE. I'LL MISS YOU.

Rest in Peace, Benny. You'll be missed. Teach those angels how to sing.

He had some major vocal skills, gorgeous tone, and incredible intensity.

Benny Mardones beats Journey single handedly anytime, with just 1 song!

and his hair is so beautiful ❤️

My soul vibrated to the tone of his voice

The ending part always damn near drives me to tears.

Unbelievably great vocal. The bluesy bend on “nothing to compare it TO”…..perfect! The vocal fry in all the right places, in and out of falsetto, phrasing, pitch- all perfect . High note at the end crazy good too! So underrated

Benny's performance was flawless! The music in the 70's & 80's will never be repeated. It was the All time best!

Dude truly nailed this song.Absolutely flawless performance & that folks..is how you put on a show.

One of the best ballads ever!

If he isn't in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame , he should be!

Benny slayed this song live , he has some amazing lungs .

The ending gave me goose bumps. This song is magical.

One of the greatest vocal performances I have ever heard and I'm 67 years old and grew up listening to the British Invasion, Motown and all the great 60s bands. Roy had his songs. Frankie had his songs. Elvis had his songs. Elton had his songs. Mick had his songs. Lennon and McCartney had their songs but NO ONE compares to this vocal of all time. I can't understand why he didn't melt singing this. The song resonates from every pore in his body. Be honest. If he sang this in front of you and just you and no one else would you ever be the same? I think not. You would spend eternity with this song in your head. I want you to know that life as you know would never ever be the same. Think on it and listen to the song again like you already have for 1,000 times.

What a voice ! He went to Viet nam and almost die. His father leave him alone since he was one year old! Then he write this masterpiece ! From a 16 yeard old girl he knows ! Incredibile! Thank you forever ! ❤️

Oh NO!! I am saddened to learn, that Benny Mardones (aka.. The Voice) past away on June 29th 2020, from complications of Parkinson's Disease. He was 73. His AWESOME song "Into The Night", (1980) is what he was most famous for. Condolences and prayers, to his family and friends. RIP Benny. We love and miss you!! 😭😭💔💔🙏🙏

Did Benny Mardones ever win a Grammy for this song? If not, he should have. It's beautiful and well done.

...Also, Benny Mardones is one of the 10 Greatest, most beautiful singers of ALL-TIME!!!! And it's so heartbreaking, that back in the day, this brilliant soul, got overlooked by jealous, awful people in the music industry, by music biz politics, i guess.

I loved this song when it first came out. I love it even more now. This Midnight Special version is amazing and truly demonstrates his vocal range. They obviously called him "the voice" (pre-Steve Perry) for a reason. I'm so sorry to hear of his life struggles including drugs and dealing with Parkinson's disease. I still embrace the song with warm fuzzies that I had when it first came out. Epic vocals, extreme talent, and an amazing song! Benny, thoughts and prayers and good wishes as you move forward.

God this man could sing. Such a misunderstood song full of beauty. Thank you Benny for your music.

Most Underrated Singer Of All Times!!

back when music has true soul

This is GORGEOUS!!!! This is REALLY a LIVE version! He is singing totally live, the band is singing and playing live, too!! It's ever so slightly different than his recording, and he tried to do it spot- on the same, but you can hear the nuances and beauty of the Live sound, and subtle differences!!! This is just beyond the Universe!!!! Epic! What a gorgeous talent, and man, inside and out!!! Just breathtaking! I wish that I was HIS GIRL!!!

Falsetto, chest voice, head voice, what a range!

His vocals were off the charts excellent!!! So talented!!!

Easily one of the greatest songs ever written!!!!!

I love hearing him belt out this song.

He could be the greatest vocalist ever it would be hard argue😮

There is an interview that any true fans and anyone who loves Benny should watch…. Benny spills his oh so gentle heart and that interview will bring you to tears

This song just gets me right in the feels, it is so heart wrenching the way he sings it, I have listened to it over and over and it has the same effect on me every time.

This is vocal range ..still fresh after all these years!

This man is AMAZING!!! His VOICE gives me the chills AND nearly brings me to TEARS!! thank u for letting me feel the same way I felt 30 years ago listening to this song.

He put everything into that song. Amazing.

definitely this song is addictive !!

There are singers and then there is Benny belting out a difficult song like it was second nature-which it was. Just freakin’ awesome!

Que voz tan increíble y Alucinante la de Benny Mardones

I get goose bumps every time I listen to this song. Long live Mardones!!!💕😍

SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC EVER WRITTEN WAS THE 70s & 80s THIS MAN HAS SOME SERIOUS PIPES .WHY WASN'T HE A BIGGER STAR?

clap for the wolf man. rest in peace wolf daddy.

I just played this amazing song for my 21 and 24 year old kids. They said they have heard the song before and it’s very good. They were not even born when this song came out. Benny has touched many generations with his beautiful voice. What a wonderful gift to give the world!

T H E V O I C E

And then "God" manifest into the form of a man named Benny Mardones 🙌👑

Amazing. I could listen to his voice forever.

absolutely outstanding vocals. this, ladies and gentlemen is how singing should be. just buries the crap we have around these days. great performance by the backing band as well.

Cannot stop playing this song over and over. He sounds amazing live! Like wow!! He can sing those notes to perfection! ❤

I love this song...but never listened to it live, until now. This was phenomenal.

Wow. This is the first time I've seen a live version of this song. Gave me chills. Simply amazing.

BENNY MARDONES (1946 - 2020)

The original arrangement with the keyboard by Kinny Landrum paired with Benny's vocals make this haunting melody a 1980's classic. I loved it then and still count this as one of my all -time favorites. This is a great live version. Benny brings so much emotion and range, which I really miss in today's pop and AC music.

Benny has been struggling with really bad health issues. (Navy vet). There's a GoFundMe page for him. Fabulous voice.

Perhaps the best pop song ever recorded.

Damn even better than the video. Good God, this man I would have married on the spot singing this to me.....oh hell yeah. I don't care people didn't like his hair cut...he can f*****g sing.

Simply sublime. Unreal pipes, perfect execution. There are not many people who could pull of such a difficult song live. One of my favorite live performances that I have seen on KZfaq.

He was INCREDIBLE! His voice was like warm butter on hot toast!

This truly is a beautiful song and Benny nails it magically. God bless you Benny!

I love this song!! I hadn't seen it live; his performance is really unbelievable! Great passion!

He had one of the most soulful singing voices I've ever heard,his delivery of this song is so extraordinary, beautiful ❤️

Talk about a voice and the range gives me chills! I was a young black woman back then loving this and all genres of music. They don't make music like this anymore...

Good Lord., what a Singer!

My goodness, this man could sing! ❤

RIP to one of the greatest voices of all time

DAMN ...straight blue eyed SOUL. This is the time I heard his voice, I'm a fan.

Benny was a soul singer in the best sense of the term

White man with soul

My God what a set of pipes Benny had.. The man could throw it down live & stick the landing... I remember hearing Into The Night in the early 80's and when it caught fire again in 89.. A lot of people thought this song was sung by Steve Perry and Journey but Steve couldn't hold a candle to Benny, especially singing live... Rest In Peace Mr. Benny Mardones.. You are loved, missed and will be remembered forever...

RIP Benny. You were a legend....and oh that voice.......gave me chills every time I heard this song.

Absolutely one of the best voices and best songs... EVER.... 😊

Now that is what you call a quality live performance. Benny certainly has a rare set of lungs, he reminds me of Steve Perry in a way. All the reality show wannabee's need to watch this.....and give up singing. Also sorry to hear that Benny passed away on 29 June 2020. RIP Benny. I didnt even see it reported in the media, disappointing.

good lord what a gifted voice!!

Omg, that voice! This is one of my favorite songs ever! He was so talented but so overlooked❤❤❤

You were so Talented and Handsome. The most beautiful eyes and soul. ⚓🇺🇸R.I.P. BENNY🇺🇸⚓ FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS {INTO THE NIGHT} PRAYERS for Jane, Mardones family, friends and fans around the world. WE WILL MISS YOU BENNY.......YOUR MUSIC and VOICE🎙🎶 Will FOREVER LIVE IN OUR HEARTS

I love this guy, his kind heart got him instant karma and got this hit! 🌈💕🌸

NO words an describe this brilliance - HE CO-WROTE and Sings this like an ANGEL!

When he lets it go...it goes right thru me every time, even if if play it on a loop. 🎆

An absolutely beautiful song. R.I.P. Benny 👏

OUTSTANDING performance. A song for the ages....

One of the best live performances Ive seen.

fun fact - did you know the wailing at the end was supposed to be just a guide for the saxophone?? Thank god they decided the wailing was better than the bloody saxophone because that is just whew - awsome!!

Could listen everyday all day
