I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME sung by Sam Harris, Live Recording Session.

[DEEZBACK]

Oh Sam, I still weep when I see you sing this beautiful, yet so sad song...You have compassion like no other. Very, very lovely Sam ;-) Much love I send you darlin'...Love,DEExox

[couturefrogx0x0]

This song is so awesome! I can't wait to see this guy at the El Portal Theatre on New Year's Eve! He's going to be awesome!

[xBarbieGirlJuliax]

Damn, this man is WONDERFUL!

[Koolson1]

Beautiful as always Sam!!

[KenFromScottsdale]

Yeah Patti,

I tried to show you the real Ken, yet I failed...

[KenFromScottsdale]

You’re way too young and beautiful to shut down those emotions of intimate excitement and those tender feelings that I know you have to offer another human being…

[deezydoh]

Morning will come and i'll do what's right, just give me 'til then to give up this fight.

[ksandance]

This is one of my all time favorite songs as sung by Bonnie Raitt...and now...Mr. Sam Harris. What a unexpected treasure and treat on a Saturday afternoon. I cried about all my lost loves. Glad I found Sam Harris once again. What a brilliant, brilliant talent.

[GuFuRb]

The "...and You don't" that he/you added in the end makes the whole song! Brilliant!

[thedrowningwitch1]

Knows I, Of how he sings this thus. Soothed I, a little, to see another weep, as I does, forlorn and disconsolate, in's this terribly lonely wasteland of shattered leaves and broken dreams

in so many Pieces on the Ground.

[stumpypox9495]

the sam I know and love. just beautiful, soulful... THANK YOU SAM

[xxfkinbeastxx]

Ha, ha found this song by accident.....The man who didn't love me back was a Sam Rogers, what a coincidence, it was beautiful Well done Sam, I cryed all the way through too....

[pcola4216]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Sam Harris.

[olguilla71]

I love the way you sang this song. You made me cry. Definitely heart wrenching.

[DShines22]

Sam,

I have watched this video and been moved probably one hundred times since you first posted it.

Thank you for that. A friend of mine (whom I have sadly not seen in quite some time) just posted this yesterday:

[I can't post a link, but if you just search "Sheldon Rogers I can't make you love me" you'll find it... it is worth your time]

I almost wish it could be a more intimate setting to get the same feeling, but the vocals are still just beautiful (and of course the lyrics - thanks Bonnie).

[swedjonson]

Wow

[geerterri]

Wow. Just wow.

[firsttenor76]

You are one of my idols vocally! I have a bunch of friends that performed with you when you played Joseph at the Pantages. I got to do it with Michael Damien, but boy... what an honor it would've been to have been in your cast too. You're awesome!!!!!

[gleetron]

this is the first time i've cried from listening to a song in sooo long. thank you sir

[2degucitas]

stop it. no man has the right to make me hurt like this.

[zachjanni]

Wooow this version went straight to my heart.. I felt it!

So amazing Sam!

[kodokpengsan]

BEAUTIFUL..PURE THINGS

[hapadancer]

Sam...I felt your heart and I wept!!!!!!! Extraordinary!!!!

[CyberMusicLover1973]

Wow! Sam, you even made me break down in tears with that song.

[rockystandridge]

I use to preform your songs in a club many many years ago. I loved you then and now you've only gotten more handsome and what a spectacular voice....even today. Just in awwww.

[weezie100160]

omg ... hairs standing on arms, tears running down cheek ... such emotion, such a voice, beautiful rendition Sam. I don't know what or who you were thinking about when you recorded this, but a true inspiration !!!

[p0is0ngal]

Ok like here i am thinking what the hell is this guy doing... and tears are running down my face and am like WHOA!!! wtf was that =\

[coelimp]

i cant say no to a man who cries... :p

[Anthonyjon73]

I've Been Inspired By Sam's voice since I first saw him perform on star search.. My Dad was a huge fan,If he were here today he would have loved this performance as well... Sam You are truly a beautiful soul with a huge gift that can reach anothers heart & soul, I speak from knowledge beings you did with my dad & have with me as well... Thank You & I Thank The Lord For You As Well :)

[MrFerdell]

Great version! I play this song solo piano without vocals, but I really like your approach! Thanks!

[carvetop01]

Beautiful.

[TheBobbiemac]

i would like to reply to everyone but I can't make ya'll reply back :)

[TheBobbiemac]

He's a joy!

[Fitchpatrick99]

Powerful

[NASTYCOMEDYQUEEN]

WOW! PERFECT

[wingsong1]

What a feat! To feel the song - to open up your heart to this pain, and cry, and still sing it through so beautifully, takes so much skill and control. To skate on the razor edge of 'the zone' and keep balance. Wow! A privilege to have seen and heard this. Tks The bare truths of life came through, and helped me with some closure, too.

[ToriKoz]

I love hearing a male singing songs about love. You are awesome and extremely talented.

[sookiestackhouse2u]

"you can't make your heart feel something it won't" so true, sammy ... great job.

[sookiestackhouse2u]

lets try it again ...

looking and sounding great as usual, sammy......... i'm touched.

stay sweet,

sookie

[TreborLBC]

I sat here and watched this with my headphones on and the world shut out. I didn't even realize until the end that I had a tear rolling down my cheek. Sam has such a way of pulling you into whatever song he sings.

[newhampshirefree]

Love.

[rainearcilla]

what he has tears?...very touching song.. i can really feel the emotions..

[debs166]

Truly amazing !!!

[beaconmike]

Check out Sam Harris singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I believe he won on Ed McMahon's Star Search in the early 80's. I used to go see him play at small venues in Hollywood..............this guy has a real depth of range...............from some incredible vocals to the more sensitive songs like this one............a beauty written by Mike Reid.

[daveiamfl]

beautiful! A feast of rich emotion! I love your voice..Many Blessings to you Sam

[interiorpassion]

What a great song and done with such real emotions that is so easy to connect to on one level or another. Bravo!

[interiorpassion]

What a great song done with real emotion by the star that disappeared from Star Search. What an awe-some" Somewhere Over the Rainbow" version he did! his notes and vocal range stunned most of the listening world.

[1Littleagger]

omg that feeling,them tears made my heart hurt for you.I love it

[togodbetheglory2009]

I love this song, This is something that i have been going through with a women I love with all my heart but she dont love me or want me becasuse her heart belongs to someone else. I feel that i will allways love her and care about her even though we are not together at this moment. His pain and his love i can feel. I think alot of us have been through this so it's a powerful and healing song.

[brillig55]

oh Sam! You are truly moving. Thank you.

[JosCove]

Beautiful voice. I heard you years ago (I think in 1997?) with the song 'Bridge over troubled water' in the show of Oprah Winfrey. And I was amazed how beautiful you sang it. I bought your cd a few months later in Cleveland.

[basiceyes]

..just simply beautiful...

[Povilas7]

this song brought back the memories ;[

[lotusfae]

Just beautiful. And the chance to see a tear from the singer as such a powerful song is recorded? Priceless. Thank you!

[estella2lenne]

Somehow...this song just seemed to capture how Stephen Gately's hubby's emotions right now. or maybe it's just me. Hmmm...

[jeahm1]

It dosn´t get any better, than this.

[therealpearhunter]

The cello is a supreme touch...

[marcusinmilw]

Fantastic job! This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It is just wrought with emotion and Sam Harris nailed it with every lyric. Bravo!

[mdheightsbear]

This is heart wrenching makes you think of that one special person......that was taken and nothing you can do but feel like this song he is so talented! thanks

[thivakar]

i love this girl but she hates me, only reason she hates me because i love her.

[1Littleagger]

wow this was great

[AmbiguousKEV]

Wow is all I can say! You did an exceptional job with one of my favorite songs - Thank You!!!

[AssGasketBill]

Wow, I like this, very theatrical.

[klassworksmusic]

This is so very moving. The lyrics, the delivery ... extremely sad and beautiful.

[jmccart6]

this is how this song is meant to be sung. amazing.

[ayolaceface]

honestly one of my favorite songs, it's so beautiful. you capture the energy and true feeling so well. great job <3

[Dogstar060763]

Captures the sadness of this song perfectly. Just beautiful.

[MissMicciie]

Oh this is such a good, no great version, of an amazing song from a true master! I half expected you to tread all over it and rui9n it beyond belief but...wow...you did it justice!

One of my all time favourite songs, and although not a happy upbeat one it sure strikes a chord, doesn't it?

Serenade me any day, week, month or year..I shed a tear to this song every damn time xx

[TheFunnyreality]

wow amazing performance... congrats!

[Brazilady]

I admire you to the fullest...although I just got to know you better since 1 hour ago....because you are a huge artist but

not affected by this... you keep a close and even interactive contact with your fans here on Youtube....you talk to them with love words and in a same level... and, my friend... this is so rare, so hard to see....

This makes you even huger...huger as an artist and as a human being.

[andrewFROMmuskogee]

i LOVE seeing great talent from oklahoma!! =]

[andrewFROMmuskogee]

WOW!! dude amazing my fav version of this song you bring out the meaning of the song!! ugh i love it

!!

[chibwantu101]

OMG what an amazing song! How is that we sometimes (usually) love those who don't love us in return? Or we just won't let ourselves be loved? thank you for this absolutely beautiful melody that speaks to my heart. so deep. so profound....wish I could give you a hug

[tomekaphifer]

Amazing..simply BEAUTIFUL..I LOVE YOU! ~T

[tslilo]

im speechless... the emotion in this song is strong enough - but the delivery by Sam Harris makes the emotion even stronger. beautiful rendition... totally...

[virtualsolomon]

Amazing rendition! I am new to hearing of Sam Harris. He must have been thinking of someone when he sung this song. You can almost feel your own pain as he communicates the pain of not having your love reciprocated. Absolutely mesmerizing as you wait for each word to come forth.

[canal175]

OMG...absolutely beautiful and amazing. Sam...you so feel this song and you sang it with such passion.

[aliagalkhub]

I feel this song so much really you cant make anyone love you !!!! even if you love them and feel them !!! ahhhhhhhh i want to know what is the use of a heart if you cant love with it !! if you cant feel with it ??????????

Absolutely INCREDIBLE. WOW! I love this version.

[velvetkym]

This is the most beautiful, emotive rendition of this song I have ever heard/seen. Even if you put it on mute, you would understand the meaning. If you have not been on one end or the other of this song, you probably will be one day. Absolutely heartwrenchingly beautiful!!!!!!!

[tomtomman69]

[mclarsa]

wow... hits homes & breaks my heart.

[prtcamangian]

Bonnie Raitt and Nancy Wilson covered this song quite beautifully.  But it is Sam Harris' version that I love the most - heartfelt, sincere, and very emotional.

[songczar]

This song is so beautiful, Sam has his own rendition of it, and it too is beautiful! Thanks!

[eve160450]

WOW Sam I have not heard you perform in 25 years and you have only gotten BETTER! So glad to see your still pouring your heart out into your music.

Sam! I'm not sure if you will read this or not. But I wanted to thank you for singing this song. As a music educator and gay here in NJ, I feel that your performance of this song is truly genuine. What the world would not be if it were not for music. This performance of this song you have given shows such a human emotion that we all have. I can not thank you enough as I sing this with you via youtube(lol) Thank you thank you thank you! I hope to meet you one and pick your brain!!!

[blondyybabyy18]

[GoChiGirl27]

[Povilas7]

You see him everywhere. And you think about him all the time. It's like a disease

[peteriversfanclub]

Really nice

[LANIERTECHSTUDENT]

i love sam!

[cherylwasicek]

I've never been so moved in my life. I've just come across this rendition of this song and can't stop listening to it. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. This performance is beyond amazing and so touching. I'm unfortunately going through a rough part of my life as the man I love has completely walked out of my

life. I feel this song allows me to grieve properly as the tears just flow. Sam Harris, you are one talented man. You are changing the world--allowing people to heal.

[MsShiftingStar]

I love this song...your voice has something magical. Very touching and emotional... love it.

[marloweable]

thank you... :,)

[shopaholic7503]

One of the best renditions of this song. I so love how you sang it. It's just so touching and your voice is magical..

[buffymekaren]

hi.....so touchingly sweet!

[steinwayguy]

Thank you!! Thank you! Thank you!! if I had a million dollars for you to sing that to me live.. God what would I do for that. Music Educator here from NJ. Rough times right now. Thank you!!

[tennesseeown]

[jaybam90]

I kid you not! This song is SO beautiful! I was crying like a baby towards the end! Sam Harris did a beautiful job.

[OrigamiTotoro]

Fuck me, that's amazing O.o

[sfnativeguy]

I just came home from hearing Sam perform this song at The Rrazz Room in San Francisco. Fantastic! In fact, the whole show was great. Please go see Sam in person if you have the chance.

[303430]

I really gotta hand it to all the artists that can sing this without crying. BECAUSE I SURE CAN'T!! WAAAaaaaa!!

[LazyxBrunettex16]

I am in love with the ORIGINAL Song by Bonnie Raitt. And I've heard every other version of the song and loved them. I fell upon your version somehow and I listened and I actually liked yours too. It's slow and nice. It works. Great job.

[LiikeUU]

beautiful(:

[gpy001]

I'd hunt you down in a nice way (if there is one) and let my girl talk you to death. I swear, you wouldn't get a word in edge wise (Hint: give her 3 shots of Tequila) and she's gone for the day hahaha! but you brighten our days, more so when we've had a bad day and I thank you for that. Bless You, Danny, and Cooper.

[gpy001]

Sam, you are a @#$!en genius. My fiance just never stops talking about you. Actually I was getting pretty sick of hearing your name until I watched a Friend Friday with her and now I'm OK with it because i understand why she likes you so much. I thought you were just a singer but I remember a very good one in the 80's, but you're more. If God had to give someone every talent in the world he couldn't have chosen a better person because you give back. Don't stop your vlog's or I'll hunt you down.

[Diedre28]

My God, your tears brings me to tears. It's so beautifull! What a voice and how touching!

Oprah should see this! Than billions more can see you................

You're so good!!!

Love Diedre28 From the Netherlands

[StanzyMozart]

He has been on Oprah, and she said that Sam could make Jesus walk through the door. I fully agree.

[blursed1]

Not bad at all!

[CocioHelena]

it was very touching.

[dannys007us]

It´s one the most beautiful songs in english. I love it !!!!

[itzashowtime]

[ckuhn555]

Sam, great to discover you....its been a long time. My favorite song and this just floors me. Listening thru headphones to feel the impact..words, and tears..Thank you

[SimplyPolitical]

I had thought Bonnie was emotional during her performances for this track, but my God, you put such greater emotion and feelings into this song.

[ianjesseadelbert]

[PTR80]

[BBBYpsi]

my new favorite sam video

[jjdonebar]

FLAWLESS, RAM, EMOTION!!

[GrayAyes]

Beautiful rendition. I have only recently stumbled across your Vlogs etc on YouTube, and of course your web site, but I remember seeing you for the first time on Star Search. My late partner, a great singer himself, said then that you would go far. Judging by this performance, he was right. Many blessings to you and your family.
