I heard this version on a website some years ago and it only just came back in to my mind the other day. Thanks so much for posting this here as I probably wouldn't have been able to hear it again otherwise.
Clever use by Bryan on 3:00 to 3:04 of the hook from "Never In Your Sun" from Stevie's album In Square Circle. Anyone notice that? Overall, of course Bryan is a good singer, but his persistent over-modulation CHEAPENS all his songs. Theother person that has great ability but screws it up too with unnecessary over-modulation is Mariah Carey.
@geoffdamaori i mean: "cause they al....ways.....start ....to cry..... while stevie sings in one time because he manages better his breath and his closure of his vocal cords!
@clemcamby I dont think its because of lack of breath OR because Stevie's "Breath Management" is better than Brian McKnights. I think it comes down to the Version that BM was singing. This is a Brian Mcknight Cover of a Stevie Wonder Classic, Therefore it would be different to the original. Brian McKnight is one of (If not the) BEST vocalists of All time. Type in 'One Last Cry LIVE' and you'll see just how long his "Lack of Breath" can hold a note for 20 seconds without struggle.
@geoffdamaori i agree.... i just watched BM's live version of one last cry and i was shocked that he can actualy do that fu@$#% super long note..!! brian mcknight is realy amazing.... he's the best!!!
@clemcamby Hell yeh! Nobody is "better" than Stevie!!! :) But with this I have the privilege of hearing my 2nd favorite male vocalist sing a song by by very favorite! Awesome...
