WHY DONT THEY MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE! I FEEL LIKE I HAVE LOST 26 YEARS OF MY LIFE SEARCHING FOR MUSIC WITH SUBSTANCE....

[Mrsjcullen21]

This is what live music should sound like. It gets no better then this.Take a Bow Sir!!

[Mrsjcullen21]

TTD is one of the best artist around, he is so talented.I whole heartedly agree with grzesiukwck about he being underrated

[OpenComments]

Scientology is a dangerous cult.

[baosoulshiner]

@OpenComments ??????

[Nappilocs]

@OpenComments what??? what are you talking about. Where in the world did you get that information?? He isn't a Scientoligist.

[AldinCoric22]

[musiqtube1]

[TheAlicia1969]

[LekaLagi]

[JaredfrmK]

incredible voice... amazing talent... classic song

[teemotik]

I had many of his albums after he blew up and some say fizzled...i dont see that

I thank god for the gift of hearing and i thank god for giving talent to someone who did something with it....tears can be beautiful. Remember to love...it's easier

[jva1975]

He still got it......, a performer great,.... the best.

[thugswannabee]

Who in the music industry has 4:32-5:08 in their arsenal? Ridiculous Talent

[americanmustard]

Never heard this album before. Tis song is awesome cannot wait to check out more of his later works

[kimogibson]

man this guy kicks the shit outta b. adams, r. stewart n g. deGraw.....

deadliest voice i've eva heard........

[logix2010]

could have sworn i heard that guitar solo on a BT advert hmmm

[uupsididit]

one of the greatests

[Edurneola]

This is an awaisome performance, he is Terence Trent D'arby... I think, why did he change his name????

[placeboost]

great singer, fu up mind. brilliant

[stephaniedenise67]

Love him! Excellent

[goudeaux922]

This is pure SOUL!!!

[goudeaux922]

This is so pure. This is real effin SOUL!!!!! Damn I love this.

[wandertwins]

extraordinarily dope...

[shiresrest]

i think stan walker (aussie idol 2009) would really suit this song

[barrydunne30]

i can't find the words to say how great this man and song is ,pure class A1

[efellini]

Oh my God, I really didn't know he was still performing in this way, I saw him in Holland 22 years ago exactly, I was only 17 and in love! He is still brilliant, still the same magnificent voice and appearance and music straight from the heart... why is he not more known now? how can this be, better than anyone else I can think of now!

[Aich04]

@efellini I've been asking myself why ppl dont apreciate this type of talent as well. I was only a kid at the time but i grew up with it and i understand the differences between then and now...i know what ur saying.

[ieuanWM]

eatch to there own not my thing i thort it was crap

[Hutchbeartrap]

Sure it might not be your thing thats understandable. Just try to open yourself to greatness. Not may people can pull off a act like that. So raw, up front, live, an alone.

[Kassanatorfakie]

this will always be an amazing song..and an amazing singer...look at how easy he sings it...pure class act!

[Lyonseyes]

I mean ... WOW .. this is so good...

[JackJaselli]

Sananda...much love...Maestro

[imallearsru]

Brilliant!!!!! I would love to see him get the exposure that he deserves. Far too much talent for far too small of a fan base. When will the recording industry give people what they want, not what the industry says we should like?

[squatch1983]

I love this song. my step dad had it on cassette and after ten years i was able to find it again

[musty911]

Legend! Broke barriers and genres...beautiful voice, soul person

[stankskarm]

where is he now? you need to come back to us Sananda, your voice has helped me getting through severe depression and trauma. I need you to sing for me again. you are a healer, man.

[sunyatta1]

@stankskarm - you will find him at sanandamaitreya. com - I just bought his Angels & Demons CD and his new NIGOR MORTIS CD on his website. Both are Fabulous! Reminds me of a more unplugged Gnarls Barkley but man, oh man!

[MsBlueDance]

I'm speechless.

[cillian2411]

man ol man I wish I could have known him. Wish I could have been there to experience this! wow! how can one capture such greatness! a performance like this comes every so often in a lifetime.

true perfection!

[grzesiukwck]

one of the most underrated vocalist of '90.

still great.

[teemotik]

@grzesiukwck

one of the most under-rated vocalist ever!

. such passion

[HcWeaner]

@grzesiukwck one of the most underrated vocalists of all time i think.. :-)

[deviishhh1]

str8 up bro dis da bomb

[deviishhh1]

got so much feeling bro.. luv dis song, dis version is all heart

[erdyskerdy]

singing is an absolute canter 2 this guy, this funk soul brother, a have 2 say i prefer prince by a long mile when it comes to a comparison between 2 of my fave artists, but this tune has got 2 be the single greatest vocal performance ive seen from anyone..i love it n it brings back memories of the day, yaldi

[pat4281]

dis cat is cool.....wats he up2 now?

[cillian2411]

[skugl23]

Does he remind anyone else of Michael Jackson?!

Makes me wanna cry.

[lamper2]

rod stewart should do this

[deviishhh1]

dis jam is hot like summer

[TXOTXOLOTXINTXO]

Sam Cooke, James Brown,Otis,Smokey...Sananda. This is soul.

[pmore911]

GOOSE BUMPS.....

[Tarsh2795]

[teemotik]

not many if any can touch the soul in this performance.....what a true talent all of them especially ttd <3

[embracesme]

[slj121557]

Magnificent artist !

[iksta007]

This guy has SOOOUUULL.

[tate333666]

[wandertwins]

this is Terrence Trent D'Arby. an incredible singer and musician and yes the voice behind the above mentioned hits. check him out. an ever present soulful persuasion. dig it. that's peace. later.

[toxic1632]

"and that's the whole shindig" ttd rules...btw prince....james brown vocal wise he's there

[ErikJoeNoise02]

[MacedonianCooPer]

[cosmic4peace]

[kennylondon123]

he sure has class and taste to his work..a rare and unique being !!

its hard to see ppl like these todate, so many cheap and crapy music !! however the song brings bak many wonderful memories of 1995, i jus started high school..growing up listenin to this was divine..!!

[rozze14]

svaka cast majstore!

hello from serbia!

[bertbirch]

Top Banana

[Aich04]

hes pretty good...i can see why daimaisan has "vibrator" in the description hahah

[realnube]

Wow!

[Hutchbeartrap]

Class.........................­......

[jestong03]

The last thing that sananda should ever be accused of is being a wanna be!! He's as original as they come.

[Hutchbeartrap]

LOl i know right... this guy just has nothing good to say thats all most people are like that... "wanna be"....lmfao

[Piggreenbag]

Prince wanna be!

[Zatras6666]

Hahahaha when did you listen to Prince?

[derbentena]

bien bien bien,,,,

[takennamaylor]

I have been a TTD fan since tha beginning. A brilliant song writer and performer. This is my alltime favorite song of his.....wow thank u soo much for posting it.

[Xrzysioo]

one of the best artist!

[brick3seven]

i just had my head blown off...shame on me for not following terrence trent d'arby into sananda maitreya

[zrooks]

This artist bleeds music...I'm grateful that he has shared his beautiful gift with the world.

[Minordd3]

What a voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

Has lost nothing in the years. Oh except the locs. And it's ok. Cause the talent is still there!!!!! I kinda like the blond hair too (wink)

[deaessence]

I was a fan when he first came out big in the late 80's; now when I get tired of searching for real music that has a soulful sound I always go back to Sananda Maitreya (ttd) , al, nina and anthony. Unfortunately what used to be the norm of real talent in music is just not there anymore. Thanks Sananda for staying true to your gift.

[Minordd3]

Amen to what you said deaessence!!!

[dessadh]

AMAZING!!!!

[ear4music71]

I just had an eargasm! This dude is the best alive!

[rodcarrero]

He plays with his voice .... like a little child plays with an easy toy.

What a VOICE!!! Love it!!!

[teemotik]

Quite simply god given talent and passion.... I love this man and his talent....doesn't get better than this right here

[bigshark101]

This guy has gotten progressively weirder as the years have gone by, but there is no denying his talent. He could sing his order at the McDonald's drive thru and it would sound awesome!

[Aich04]

if u had never heard of him b4 and happened to see him on tv and it was on mute by some chance ha...u wouldnt expect him to sing this good after u turned on the sound

[SoulByDzyne]

Great post! Did not even recognize Terrance at 1st, it's been so long.

[jva1975]

Terence come back we miss you...

[jaca312]

mean azz lowwcca!

[HappyJoyousFree]

Oh My God!!!

[Isa82]

Raw voice, raw emotions.

Goosebumps...

[kika1374]

Such beauty....from the inside out. I think we've been touched by an angel. You are beautiful Sananda, your voice is like light that touches the darkest and most profound places of our soul..piercing through the pain and the tears, letting beauty heal. Thanks for being you!

[sweetladeeday]

does anyone know where one can get this live version of Holding on to You on cd?

[kika1374]

Go to his website, he doesn't sell it anyother way, best regards!

[LiquidGold2]

He sure is great. What a fantastic voice.

[DDTexNYC]

Every time I hear him sing -- I'm more and more impressed and moved by his voice and depth of feeling and expression! I am very glad that you have blessed us with your spirit Sananda Maitreya! Sing on!

[rex5159]

one of those occasions when a live performance beats the recorded song.

this has long been my fave TTD song, and this version is amazing.

[sarahmcook]

wow terence trent darby. Still sounds so good!

[arashmarcoo]

I have never been moved so strongly from a performance as I have with this. Simply beautiful in every way.

[kysteelerfan]

Wow.  Amazing. Didn't know he changed his name. Was checking out some of his old stuff and remembering how much i liked it and wondering what the hell happened to him. He's a talent that needs to be out there today.

[Flowsyouruncle]

Spiine tingling stuff, a heavily emotional performance, gives me chills every time.

[steoball]

was at this show will never be at a better 1

as long as i live

[Anavy7]

...Holding on to your music, listening to it, and...hearing, feeling it inside of my soul...is trully letting go of pain...letting of what's not real...You've changed my life, and I live my life like in Heaven, because of your powerfull energy...I love you 4 ever...Ivana...

[edwinheida]

I grew up with his first album when he was still called Terence trent d'Arby. His voice is simply amazing. It was back then, and it still is now. And I never saw him live... Amazing voice. respect.

[bass2base]

Like wise... Just can't stop listening to this... Straight from the heart!

Nuff Respect!

[teemotik]

Wish i could see him in the states...too young to really know what was going on when Wishing Well came out but still a favorite of mine today... so glad i found this...just amazing. And I can feel the passion, faith, and love he expresses in this. Ty so much for posting and god for such a gift to us all.

[tross6]

This Guy is such a great talent. he has an amazing voice. he has honesty & Passion. the elements of true artistry

[BlackHeidie]

Talent can be a given...however soul can only be felt..that is what makes him so great to me. ty for sharing you're soul and voice with us =D

[clairex0x]

[steoball]

was at this show by far the best peformence of a song i ever heard

[corbinandnora]

Prince, Michael, and Terence. And you know this. Keep turning him on to your friends, kin-folk. Maybe we'll be able to get him to tour the U.S. again...

[steoball]

i always said top 3 vocals prince jackson and ttd

[deaessence]

everytime I watch this video I am just in awe of his talent. It amazes me how in tune he is to his muse. Watching him lend himself to his talent and bend to its influence floors me. A true genius--uncut

[teemotik]

You are so talented...you bring tears to my eyes...truely...ty im glad your talent isnt hidden from the world. =D dont go anywhere

[uwillbe]

I saw him at the Metro in Chicago during this time...Amazing Performer !!!

[sugarjayh]

uwillbe....my friend, one of my favorite concerts at the Metro ever! I had the great fortune of opening up for him that night and talking with him backstage afterwards. One of the highlights of my life!

[uwillbe]

Sanada gave one of the best performances I've ever witnessed, especially "Sign Your Name". I imagine a conversation with this highly intelligent man must have been unforgettable.
