Anyone who's heard the Son's of Champlin know exactly what Bill is capable of doing in regards of vocals. His early work had a lot of soulful and gospel orientated stuff in it.
Back when Bill Champlin look like Chuck Norris and have funky dance moves 😆 Jay Graydon dressed like Professor Snooker. And Steve Lukather dressed like Michael Jackson in "Thriller" Just kidding. Love all of them, Glad to see three of them still alive and well and actively in music scene.
That's the neat thing for Lukather, as he won an additional Grammy that year (1983) for this song; going with all of the Grammys he won with Toto for their 'IV' album.@@Drumsticksmcgee
I caught Toto in Atlantic City, and Luke did the piano tag in 'Rosanna' while Paich looked on, like "Dude, wtf?" After a bit of vamping, he got his guitar back, and, you know the rest...
@@johnmcevoy3598 I met Lukather, along with Jeff Porcaro and David Paich in the mid-90's at Valley Arts Guitars. Lukather was so humble and nice. After meeting him, I never have needed to meet anymore of my 'heroes'.
I hear three Michael's in his voice - McDonald, Bolton, and Jackson. His voice is incredibly strong--pair that with the ability to sing in tune and throw some piano/keys in there for good measure, and you've got yourself a certified excellent musician. I wish he would have departed from Chicago a little more gracefully (or worked out their differences and stayed with them). At the end of the day, you can't dispute his overall talent.
Thank the lord George Benson recorded it. Everything Champlin sings sounds so forced and Vegas schmaltz! Comparing Champlin to Benson is an insult to George. Same as when Champlin sang After the Love is gone, he co wrote it with Foster and Grayden. Again, thank the Lord that Maurice White got his hands on it. He improved the arrangement and vocals are so far superior to Champlin.
Brent is right. Completely different styles. You gonna slam Buddy Rich because he's different from Phil Collins? Benson and Champlin are both brilliant!
Bill had done some great vocals during the years but I totally agree that George vocals on Turn Your Love Around is much much better than Bills who just overdoing the vocals…

Back then when the grammys were worth gold.

@@kidwaryodproduction Heyyyyyy, 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@kidwaryodproduction I didn't know Alan Thicke had already passed away. Such a loss, a tv legend, beautiful tv shows back then. 😢
Absolute perfection! First-call LA musicians/writers at the top of their game…amazing all star line up.
What a Voice Bill has!
Always love seeing the young Luke.
Steve Lukather playing piano.
He plays tons of instruments...
😂 RIGHT?!
@@sandlot40 Yes that’s Luke on piano and he does play learned from his mom.
He wrote this song on the piano with Bill and Jay Graydon
@@Big_Uncle_Randy Yeah, he's a mean drummer too.
Bill Champlin.... the face has changed but the VOICE is still strong... saw him last fall at Rancho Nicaso... Marin Co. CA.
It is so cool to see Luke playing piano, and I had no idea Champlin had such a strong, soulful voice!
If you haven't gotten it, I recommend you get Champlin's album 'Runaway'. You can hear many of the songs on TH-cam.
Never knew he wrote this song

This was beast mode. What an incredible voice
Absolute kick-ASS late night show! Alan Thicke... thank you for the memories.
Very underrated show.
When talent mattered!
Got turned on to Bill Champlin listening to Doc Kupka/The Strokeland Super Band/Tower of Power, been a fan since.
God damn this is super great! Bill Champlin has something special to his voice that is hard to explain, just grabs you
Awesome footage - those were the day... Bill scored a big one with this, and he sounds great singing it too...
ビル・チャンプリン最高です✨😊❤
quality!
Just magic, damn way to throw down y'al grooved the house down, dang!!!!
3 ICONS right there!
Luke on keys.
Testifying!

Great , in 2023........
wow!!!this rocks
That’s just great!
Should be 1983, right?
SMOKIN!
これ、ヴォーカルがビルチャンプリンで、ギターがグレイドン。
お留守になった鍵盤をスティーブルカサーが弾いてるんだね。初めて見た！驚いた！！
当時、レコードは持ってたｗ
Steve playing piano???😮
Luke wrote the piano part.
The initial chords resemble MJs Baby Be Mine
Yes!! Never noticed it.
Is that mick Fleetwood on the end? I see what Luke meant by trying to break down that stereotype of they were just a studio band .
Not this s..t you here nowadays…happy 80´s
Is that Tamara singing with him?
Yep. She's the one in the blue blouse.
Someone get Jay Graydon a proper chair! 😅
He looks like a ventriloquist puppet sitting next to Lukather 😅
I don't know why Jay is so underrated. He is a musical genius.
Is it me or does Mick Fleetwood look a little put out when bill and luke come on! Jay didnt even shake Micks hand!
Micks a bit drunk.
Thank the lord George Benson recorded it.

Totally disagree with you on that one! Bill is a treasure.
bill and George Benson are terrific!
