   Sometimes it’s so challenging . . to accept that the radicals, progressives, pinky gays, etc., .. (all have way too much white brain matter in their frontal cerebellum) . . . that they do create much of the great music and performances.

   Here’s the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=318&v=YrLk4vdY28Q

   And one of the most famous renditions (though Rufus has performed more moving efforts) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJCi-7wohBw — bet there were at least 50 ‘save the polar bear’ tees in that crowd.

   Disappointing not to see Tony on stage (maybe not).

   Really nice Tony!

   It’s refreshing to me (I’m a part-time professional musician and my family members are all pros) to hear a “real” vocal recording done right and done with genuine emotion.

   Now days vocalists go into the studio. Step one: apply extreme compression. This flattens everything out – so boost the levels, add delay, add distortion, on and on. Of course, first correct all intonation electronically; forget that micro intonation is part and parcel of vocal expression. Result: It sounds like some kind of animatronic robot singing – just like pop music!
