This is just one of those videos/songs/genres where I can appreciate the exquisite musicianship, but cannot stand the song. I'm sure there are better examples of that phenomena, but this is a good one.
I remember watching this video for the first time many years ago. During these years, it was difficult to find any rock, blues, jazz or even metal videos in Bulgaria. I was captured by his unique style, not exactly a rock guitarist, not too jazzy, very much Rit :))) The second thing was the voice of Phil, one of the sweetest male voices ever.
Outstanding performance of a Ritenour classic. Really good sound quality for a live recording on youtube. Usually, uploads from live concerts really suck sound quality wise. Wish they all sounded as good as this one does. This tune is off the 1981 album "Rit". One of my most treasured recordings. Great Stuff. Love it.
@Theri48 i think people prefer the eric tagg version,but this is great with phil perry and john massaro on vocals and cowbell(from the steve miller band) .rit is awesome one of my favourites along with lukather,carlton ,graydon and parks!
@Theri48 i honestly don,t know other than what i said in my previous comment! it was on the abracadabra album by miller that i became aware of john. then when he sang on the ritenour album banded together in 84' i realised who he was .he sang on the tracks Mandela and operator(thief on the line) great album! still available.
