Just a historical footnote, this song was supposedly written by Jackson in response to the death of a friend who was bisexual and was killed in a bathhouse fire.

Oh I wish I had your voice and talent to play the guitar...

@BerrysJSRD - To answer your question about original songs by James Dupre, in case you haven't happened upon them yet, I know of two posted on You Tube: "Memories of Heaven" and "A Hero in My Eyes." James is amazing on this song because he not only has a beautiful voice, but he uses interesting phrasing, a bit different from Jackson Browne's. Both versions are lovely, and this is coming from another fan of Jackson Browne's from way back. Peace.

@violetjm I had the same reaction. In another post someone suggested listening to his version of Unanswered Prayers because the live Garth version was horrible. Glad I followed his suggestion.

Wow I think I've found a new artist to follow. Does he have any original songs? Thank You for this post. I've been a Jackson fan since the Hollywood Hill days and this is a great interpretation true to the original feel and Jackson's feel.

I saw this cover of one of my favorite songs, and I thought "Uh-oh; I don't think I'm going to like this very much." (Just because I love Jackson Browne's version.) I was wrong. Man, was I wrong. This is just gorgeous. What a voice. This song is an elegy written by Jackson Browne for a friend of his ( a dancer) who died. "......and somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go may lie the reason you were alive that you'll never know." Thank you for this soulful version.

Excellent, soulful interpretation of this masterpiece.
However, I must mention that I almost didn't listen to it when I first saw the poster's comment "sung better than the original". C'mon, why does everything have to be a trivialized contest? This is a classic of the rock era, written and sung by one of it's greatest songwriters. The original version has tremendous meaning for many people, and will never be "topped". Let's leave that nonsense for "american idol", shall we?

James's version of this classic song is done with feeling and meaning.
