[rzracer1]

This is an epic version of a really great song. Can't get enough of it. Phil Perry is the man. His vocal range is amazing.

[luv4allmusik]

Captain Fingers at his best!

[BGLWD310]

Is It You??

[BGLWD310]

Nice !!!!

[ciarraibuzz]

Jimmy Johnson (of James Taylor fame) on bass doing a nice job.

[jreichbart]

And, of course, Allan Holdsworth fame!

[ciarraibuzz]

Eric Tagg sings pretty good (an example of understatement).

[tolislove]

this song is orgasmic

[dlekardal]

This is the real deal....! Brother singing his soul out!

[bullfork]

Damn ! Who's the vocalist ! Sweet, soulfull to the max >

[clarkdoug12]

@bullfork Phil Perry

[BalooRJ]

@bullfork Phil Perry, he's done songs with Lee! Check out If I'm Dreamin' (Don't Wake Me)

[SonnyGTA]

I need to watch this every couple of days....

[chiperta]

Fuck me he can sing.

[jo22338601]

Yeah because Phil tagged so many before and after no disrespect ,he's was made so very long ago , yet still tearing things up NOW.

[6y298]

Rhythm se.ction is absolute perfection - drum/bass don't get nastier than this

[MaxDns]

Alguien esta afuera, llamando a mi puerta Un extraño, alguien desconocido Alguien está en mis sueños, no puedo sacarlo de mi mente, sí! Estoy cansado de estar solo Alguien está tratando de encontrar una manera fácil adentro Vamos, que estoy aquí, en casa, justo en casa ¿seras tu? ¿seras tu? ¿seras tu? ¿seras tu? ¿Quien muy dentro de mi, merodeando mi corazon ¿Alguno de ustedes se ha enamorado? muestrame que haces, y dime quien eres ¡Oye! estoy listo para el amor, para amar.

[MaxDns]

¿seras tu? ¿seras tu? ¿seras tu? ¿seras tu? si eres tu, muestrate no necesitas esconder tu amor si eres tu, sabes que te estoy esperando Porque es demasiado tarde para huir No huyas del amor, mi amor ¿Seras tu? (Instrumental break) Seras tu, llamando a mi puerta? ¿Es mi imaginación? eres tu, no puedo quitarte de mi mente? eres tu, tu ,tu? eres tu, merodeando mi corazon ¿Es mi imaginación? eres tu, no puedo quitarte de mi mente? tu, tu ,tu.

[mojitojim]

Eric Tagg is a great singer, period. Phil Perry is a great singer, period. This is a Lee Ritenour gig and he hires the best available musicians when he performs, period. Both Eric and Phil have unique and dynamic vocal talent and there is no issue. PERIOD!!! All due respect...

[SonnyGTA]

holy shit.....Phil Perry fucking KILLS it!!! WOW. WOW!

[SonnyGTA]

WOW!! Phil Perry is AWEEESOOOOMME!  I will have to look up more of his stuff!

[prenda36]

Maravilloso!!!!!!Gracias por tan buenisimo video!!!

[pamhar51]

Carlos Vega sounds like Phil Perry!

[Jazz100ify]

sad to say he took  his own life at the peak of his career

RIP Calos Vega

[vanlib69]

Que hrmosa melodia, esto es calidad no las porquerias comerciales que nos venden hoy en dia

[sergiopillon]

LINDO DE MAISSSS

[Alileopil]

Incredible Performance 

[DeanoPiano]

@Alileopil Sure was brother

[stolendata]

nice performance, but nowhere near what eric tagg would pull off.

[cammicty]

@stolendata Wow your lost Eric Tagg was amazing, but even he knows he can't touch Phil Perry, does'nt have the power, he was soulful, but Phil Perry is Soul, this song came alive when he sung it!

[anek9999]

It will be one of my most favorite songs forever !!!

Really LOVE this song.

[timor66]

Nothing, and I mean nothing, can top this performance. Absolutely awesome. This is how a song should be sung. Proud owner of the vinyl, btw.

[NuttiSoul]

I am playing this tune on my show tomorrow. without apology. Go Phil!!! G*ddman.

[ianidinuse]

Hey.. This is the first time I'm looking at Lee Rit using a Strat.

[agah2909]

Another good collaboration

[Bonecrusherofdoom]

Wow Carlos Vega and Jimmy Johnson. Now that's groove

[MrBohica1980]

Gee, this guy really _ _ _ _ ed up this otherwise great song. Hughe ego with absolutely no talent. Great song sung by Eric Taggs. Please let him sing this song.

[MrBohica1980]

This guy really _ _ _ _ ed up this song completely! He sucks big time. Too much into himself and not the music. Great song, originated by Eric Taggs. Please let him sing the song.

[nevermindrock]

the singer is PHIL PERRY right? is my fav singerrrrr!

[ProDrummer30]

Carlo Vega is a great great great Drummer ! He plays very musicality.... I love it.

[mugwaii2008]

Yep, Carlos Vega on drums and Jimmy Johnson on bass, both went on to play with James Taylor.... Jimmy still tours with JT!!!.....GREAT BAND....

God Bless Lee Ritenour!!!

[beoriginal1000]

[yehudith7]

I have heard beautiful songs in my life but this song, especially with Phill Perry singing, tops them all out!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! My number #1 song for now!!!

[JonP1961]

A very nice groove at 2:28-3:00; love the progressions there and the drumming is extremely tasteful there.

[PRETTYBOYDHON]

tangna ang lupet amputa!!! eto ang kanta!!!!bagsik!!!

[dgracian0]

this is sooo sick..

[ihs0y]

eric tagg. is. AMAZING

[earldrum]

Carlos Vega is so amazing ... what a pocket!  He is missed.

[lpvcrcd]

who is this guy on lead?? Is he a Temptations or Four Tops wannabee? Who is the original lead singer on vinyl? That 45 RPM version is supreme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[71jeffrox]

I like Phil Perry, love his rendition of this song

[71jeffrox]

This guy's great I like his rendition

[rd062080]

[laloservin]

God blessed all of them, with those talents. Rest in peace, Carlos.

[63fulrose]

[JAB5625]

God put Phil Perry on this earth to sing... to the benefit of anyone who truly understands and respects vocal brilliance

[naedsukram]

session players are amazing live, such perfection.

[PowerDanceClassics]

[PaulyWely]

[tinkhix]

[JAB5625]

Sounds sensational. Great musicians. Excellent. 'nuff said.

[ifeomacorneliaebele]

memories... great song!

[bonpasteur]

Man...that's Carlos Vega. God bless his soul.

[kaypz]

@bonpasteur what happened to Carlos Vega?

[SjamanFunk]

@bonpasteur Gone to soon :(

[bigmowerman3]

All due respect , this is ERIC TAGG'S song . Period .

[AcousticUplift]

@bigmowerman3 I agree. No disrespect to the lead on this version but Eric brought a subtlety and the right mix of vulnerability and strength to the vocal.

[bigmowerman3]

@AcousticUplift - add to the fact, i've gotten to know eric via facebook..... he's got my vote! :)

[AcousticUplift]

@bigmowerman3 Wow he's on Facebook? Sweet! I hear he's a praise and worship leader now. He must really bring the Spirit down with that angelic voice of his.

[bigmowerman3]

@AcousticUplift add to the fact that i've gotten to know eric via facebook.... he's got my vote

[buhlataboy]

agreed mowerman

[sackipogi]

kanin baboy ang komento mo ungas.

[aseang74]

@bigmowerman3 Does it really matter that much, I mean seriously both men sang this song well

[1Mellodee]

@bigmowerman3 - yes indeed!

[XxXkEreN128XxX]

that back up vocals looks gay. rofl.

[momopanda1]

vocally speaking, they're brialliant. just flamboyant...

[kyuteh]

WOW! what a tight performance! vocals kick ass! but that crowd is boring as shit, there should be a dancefloor in that place

[nebaioth]

I like the original w/ Eric Tagg, but Phil Perry is awesome. He puts his own touch on it.

[elchinopes]

I lost mi VHS 15 years ago, you dont know how much i apreciate this video, thank you from the bottom of my heart

[nightwalker225]

Phil doesnt even come close to Eric Tagg. Nice try though.

[origjazz]

the singer is Phil Perry.....he is a phenominal vocalist

[kimnorkim]

Can anybody pls tell me who's the singer? I believe he's not Eric Tagg,but he looks like Harvey Malaiholo..Indonesian singer..

[akula18464]

Phil Perry.

[origjazz]

Phil Perry

[mysterytrax]

I meant Carlos Vega on drums and NOT

Ernie Watts.

The 3 "lock", into totally being caught up into a musical "high five!

Watch them at 3:43 - 3:49. and beyond

These cats are serious groove MASTERS.

The cameraman had to be anticipating it to get the shot. Very cool and heads up

on his or hers keen eye and feel for the tune.

[mysterytrax]

The great Jimmy Johnson on ALL of those awesome bass lines. Listen to him at 3:43, when he does this outstanding riff

to get LEE's attention to turn around and aknowledge the groove; along with Ernie on drums. It's a true musician and stage player moment. Well captured.

[woeftie1]

this is so nice

i want more

[JoeCleezy3000]

I hadn't heard this song in 16 years, THANK YOU!!!!!!

[nurmisd]

musicbox285 THANK YOU THANK YOU

Been waiting for this one to pop up since I joined YouTube a few years back.

I rented this video (VCR) once and loved it so much but was never abkle to find it again. I love the original with Eric Tagg singing lead, but Phil Perry knocked this version right out of the park. Brilliant!

You're my hero for 2009. I appreciate this so much and such great quality...WOW!
