This is a testament to the value of a good acoustic rendition, and to the acoustic guitar. This is absolutely great, and an inspiration to the rest of us who dream of practising hard and recording something.
You know, I could see you takin home the prize on X-Factor. Song selection on these shows is everything and nobody does that better than you. No need for a booming voice, just must phrase them right and you got that. I can hear the whole Orchestra backing you on some of this, KILLER! I just think you desrve the big payday, maybe just hold back on the kisses lol. I do much prefer the example of humility when you just let it fade, even if you look away from the camera over the blown kisses!
omgsh!! im 16 and i love this song...i just love all the debarges!! lol but you did a really good job...its sad that people my age dont appreciate good music like this:(
Best cover for this song! You're so great sir! :) can you send me the chords, I really want to know how to play this? Thanksomuch! Continue inspiring us.. :)
Pretty good.In fact the song and the tongs is so hard to simulate and you are the only singer in the world can sing such a good song which is as good as the original song made by Debarge.
Hi sir, can you please made me some Tab of your cover. YOu have the nicest cover I saw in acoustic. If you have the tab can you please send it to my email, johnronaldb@gmail.com. I really appreciate if you can give me some. So nice... :)
Hi. I liked this cover very much. Youre sweet. Just a personal request: post a video with a cover of the song Mary´s Prayer by Danny Wilson. I believe your acoustic style and voice could give that 80s song a very emotional feeling....and I love that song too.
Larry, great performance, great voice. And you´re right, some love of the past, sometimes gets to your mind or heart and makes you wonder many questions about her.
When you started playing , I said to my wife "here comes great guitar with bad vocals '' , Then you blew my socks off. I deeply apologize, and I could listen to you all day. Thank You so much for music and song that does my soul WELL!!
Actually, neither of my acoustics with light fretboards are maple. The Martin is Micarta (a synthetic) and the Gibson Elvis Costello is plastic... Not that there's anything wrong with that...
I could watch and listen to this one all night tonight, Larry. Great visual presentation; love the guitar, and your vocal -- smooth, evocative...and more compelling than ever.
I love Debarge songs....just sang one on snap..mine was "Rhythm of the night" this one is a great song here...very nice and smoothhhhhhhhhh, great vocals here, enjoyed my listen....
One of my faves from the Rhythm of the Night lp. You do a wonderful heart wrenching acoustic cover Larry. You can hear your emotive qualities in your vocals as if you've lived the lyrics. (Have you? I know I have)
Nice rendition man! A few of the DeBarge kids went to the same high school I went to...years before I was in high school. They're from my hometown. Kinda sad to see what's happened to them. Drugs are bad.
Funny you would upload this song today, Larry. Just this morning, I saw an ad for a movie on TV that my first love and I saw on our first date. Brought back all kinds of memories and set me to thinking about him and what he's up to, etc. It's been 20 years since I've seen him.
Great cover of a wonderful 80's hit. You betcha there's a Don in my past. But now there's a Keith in my present and future & I wouldn't change one single minute of my time with him. :-)
But, I'll bet you still wonder occasionally who's holding Don now... That's what music does.. It allows you remember the good times, without abandoning the good things aboutf the present..
Another incredible rendition of a sweet song we don't hear nearly enough! Tks again Larry
