Just back from seeing Billy for my first time. He played southpaw in Brooklyn. His voice, stage presence, and good looks were all amazing. He is a star. Lots of good songs in the set. Beautiful back up work by locals Divine Soul Rhythm Band and the Sweet Divines.
Nice to see the guys get some just recognition after all these years too.
I think with it being just a little slower than the studio cut helps build up the drama in the song. Billy Prince's vocal is simply amazing. This, and stuff like it, is really why we're into Soul Music, isn't it?
I had this record over 40 years ago and this is the first time I have ever seen them. WOW

He was still super sexy and his voice is still superb! Would love to see them again. Perhaps the Northampton soul weekender will invite them over!
