R.I.P Howard. The music industry and fans missed what could have been 30 great years of his music as he battled his personal demons.

While I like the "gospel" feel of the song, sorry but, NO ONE, tops "Janis "Pearl" Joplin's" version!!!

Who cares about Janice bloody Joplin. This is the proper version of this song.

One rehearsal and a basic chart results in this live performance that goes well and feels good! Steve's direction was easy to follow and the band had plenty of chops left for the rest of the show!
