Perla singing sends chills all through me, a rare beauty.

[TheMaeea]

she makes me cry... and in a i'm your man when she sings I will run no more with that lawless crowd...

[lafamidore]

I love her. She's beautiful. And what a sax player!

[Krittikas]

Wow--what passion! So stirring. Great song (thanks Leonard), great singer, and GREAT sax!!

[boige]

and yes, brilliant sax action.

[boige]

I wonder if Leonard tapped her heiny.....just wondering, he's the ladies man right?

[BushWomanOtter]

Awesome, why isn't she on tour?????

[spacebroom]

Wonderful

[gingernut53]

I totally agree with 'oldeblueboy'. Nobody has ever backed Leonard like Julie and Perla. They were perfect.

[coquinegau]

Bravo !!! who needs american idol ?

i miss the old days (i am only 34)

when music was a way of life for the artist

i miss real artist like this woman who can make it on her own with some real talent

and love for music

[clonanster]

goosebumps all over my body from that one!! Wow~!

[oldeblueboy]

people rave about the webb sisters but as good as they are ... the best backing singers for LC are #4 Jennifer ... #3 Julie ... #2 Sharon and best of all ... #1 Perla.

First time I ever heard this woman sing. She's awesome! And that sax man sure knows how to play that thing. I gotta replay this and hear it again!

[mainejerry]

Forget this woman's fantastic voice, the way she delivers a song leaves you breathlsss. And that sax player .... holy sh*t ... amazing! Thanks for posting.

[Tommigril]

This is an amazing cover -- I love the way she gets into the music and the interaction between her, the audience and the sax player, TY for posting.

Paul is not only the most soulful sax player you will ever hear, he has always been a great cousin and friend. Also kudos to Perla.

This is such an awesome performance by both. I just love this song and it's message, thanks so much Leonard for writing it! I was sure glad to see you're now in the R&R Hall of Fame.
