@@Hector-ze7ed I weep every time I watch that video. I weep every time I watch someone else watching this video. Every time I hear the guitar intro. Everything. I weep at this song.
Matthew Drake The original recording was done by a group called the family, which was a prince spinoff group, the leader of the family was a previous member of the time with morris day. But yes prince definitely wrote this song
@@jcbaber7521 Sinead's version is certainly good, but Chris' version is not just more soulful than Sinead's, it's waaaay more soulful. In fact, looking at it completely logically and not just emotionally, when actually considering the genre of "soul music" and comparing it to other songs from the soul genre, Sinead's version hardly seems soulful at all to me.
@@rosebud7283 I did look at the facts... So did the police. They also viewed the hotel's surveillance footage which proved no one else was in his room after his wife talked to him on the phone. There is ZERO evidence suggesting that he was murdered. You're just a week minded conspiracy theorist.
I can tell you from first-hand experience that most of the time people who have very strong emotions in every category of emotions for the most part, are usually pretty creative
Chris was the frontman of Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog (Chris + members of Pearl Jam), Audioslave (Chris + Rage Against the Machine), and also did solo projects. He was good friends with Chester Bennington of Linkin Park who also left us far too soon by taking his own life two months after Chris did on what would have been Chris' birthday. You owe it to yourself to check out Temple of the Dog - Say Hello 2 Heaven
@@iammine8117 yeah it's much better to think he killed himself along w Chester, Prince, Whitney Houston, MJ, and countless other celebrities. Have you listened to Tom McDonald new song..They trying to kill me? What is he talking about. Hmm? Remember when they arrested the guys who killed BIG and 2pac.? Me neither How many of those Country singers are killing themselves from depression? I will put my tin foil hat back on and you put your head back in the sand! Or you could wake up. Did you not just see how ABC just got outed for burying the Jeffery Epstein story in 2016? Other ppl are saying the same thing I am in this comment section. Your favorite artist are being killed when they travel off the path, don't push the agenda. Start talking! I hope you start opening your eyes.
i picked out a song list, since my days are numbered, and i have so much chris cornell on it.... i mean its a long list, but its in an order. there will be no casket, just go to the bar i picked and get along, enjoy music and stories. i am the highway
What's is wrong with just saying, wow, what a wonderful performance? Without having to take away from it by pointing out that Prince wrote the song? Everyone knows that Prince wrote the song... Everyone knows that Prince was a great singer/songwriter/musician, but even he didn't write all of his songs. Prince's greatness, as great as it may be, is a different discussion. I know you may be emotionally attached to Prince, but believe me, it's ok to just simply say, "Chris did a great job". Tina Turner's song "Proud Mary" was great too, but should we diminish her rendition of the song by bringing it to everyone's attention that Creedence Clearwater Revival wrote the song, and wrote the melody, and perhaps even did a better version than she did? Prince is great in his own right, but that is a completely different subject. This subject is about this specific video, about Chris Cornell's version of this song. Try to control your personal emotional fanaticism toward a specific artist.
Steve Harrison Thank you for that critique but you misunderstand my postings. My comments are to the Reactor not the Sub’s. These Artists and Songs are new to the Reactor. Of course the Sub’s know these facts. Most of us that like Reactor channels post to educate and suggest to help in the Reactors discovery. Thank you.
There is nothing more genuine than Chris Cornell singing.... Probably the best singer in the grunge era, and sadly he isn't with us anymore. Ashamed how such a beautiful voice can be gone like that...
for as talented as Chris was he was a tortured soul. all throughout his career his lyrics came from a dark place. it's so sad that he finally decided he no longer wanted to live. his talent was really incredible.
Chris was one of my all time favorite musicians. I grew up late 80s into the 90s his music was everything. I've listened to his version of this song about 100 times. Its beautiful every single time. RIP
Which is only reason people thinks it's good. Sinead O'connor's was much better. But she's still a live so we'll have to wait until everyone sees that one.
The way Chris sang this song was a depiction of how far down a dark hole he was in that only a few people knew. We only learned about his troubles after his death. He is so missed.
Usually I don't care that much when a famous artist dies, but in the case of Chris I really felt that. In performances like this one you can see how sensitive he was as a singer. You can tell he was a tortured soul.
Oh girl. Welcome to the world of Chris Cornell...basically the best lead singer of early 90s grunge music. That’s another era that you need to do a deep dive in for sure :)
Riteous Right Hand agreed but Chris was more diverse and prolific with his music and can reach a much wider audience. Him and Layne had two of the greatest voices in rock history though.
@@riteousrighthand6144 Layne?????? lol Layne was a run of the mill grunge singer. People place a higher regard for him because he died, lol... what a joke.!!!

Dear sushi can you react to nearly forgot my broken heart 💔 also by Chris Cornell at Sirius XM studios. It is even more moving than nothing compares to you. Hugs and love I send to you ❤️
I love Chris's technical vocal skills, his tone, his emotion, and his soul, but saying "NO ONE" sings like him anymore is just factually incorrect. This is the baseless type of statement you'd expect to here from a naively loyal, blindly biased fan. It is a disingenuous, emotionally based statement, not backed up by fact. Regardless of how much you or I love Chris, off course there are other people who sing like him, and just as good as him. I'm not making an equivalent... That's not the point of my suggestion, as a somewhat unrelated issue, listen to Chris Stapleton's "I was Wrong", and/or "Tennessee Whiskey".
@@smallblockchevy1022 Nobody said Chris was the greatest vocalist in history (though I believe he was one of the greatest vocalists of our generation). But the fact does stand that nobody else sings like Chris. Love him or hate him, his was a voice that could never be duplicated.
I was about 6 or 7 years old sitting in my sister's room on the green carpet as she played her brand new prince cassette around 1984-85. This was one of the songs I can remember listen to so much. Not sure what he was talking about but amazed by prince's voice. The first time I heard chris Cornell was on MTV when I was in the seventh grade singing for temple of the dog. Either "say hello to heaven" or "hunger strike" his voice is has so much emotion I will never forget the 80s and 90s music.
Written by Prince. Made famous by Sinead O'Connor. Hearts & souls touched by Chris Cornell ❤️ 💛 💙 💜 Sadly Chris Cornell took his own life in May of 2017 💔 💔 💔 💔
Didnt think you would come across this song But you thank you !!!. This is one of my Fav all time. I listed to this about 3 years ago for the first time ! Keep up the good work! Lovee you vids
Try "Hunger Strike" by Temple of the Dog, then "Show Me How to Live" or "Cochise" by Audioslave, then "Fell on Black Days" by Soundgarden. Chris Cornell was one of the greatest voices in Rock history. These are some bands he played with that show how dynamic he was. He is a legend. I always tell myself"Don't be sad he is gone, just be happy he was here" when thinking about his death.
I can tell you about the last two times I heard this song, watching Chris play live when he was doing his solo tour (such a.. just memorable concert) and the last time before hearing it now was the day I heard he died. He was such a huge part of me growing up and his music, I have so many memories attached to his and associated bands music. We lost a really good one with him.
I first heard this in my dorm in 1990 sung by Sinead O'Connor. I was transfixed by her video which was really just a close up of her face. She was beautiful. And you could see and feel the emotion in her expression. I was a big fan of Prince, who was the songwriter. I'm sure you know he wrote for many people. I was a music major at the time studying and playing jazz. Chris did an amazing job here. Rip Chris Cornell and Prince.
This has and always will be a powerful song, but Chris' raspy and guttural voice just hits all the feels so much more. Nothing but respect to Prince as these are his lyrics, but I don't know how or if this song should ever be attempted by another individual after the late, great Chris Cornell. Like you said, "EFFORTLESS"Absolutely LOVED your reaction to this!
His death left a great sadness. Just loved that voice of his. Like all great artist's, just living gets too much. He loved hard fell hard. Rip Chris. Love your thoughts on music from around the world
R.I.P Chris! 😢 Such a Titan of music in your life. You are and will always be a true LEGEND. You are so missed by so many. Thank you for the years and the amazing voice which you gave to us in in the short time that you were here.
Haven't heard this version. One of my fav vocalists of all time. Another great from a list of greats by Prince. During Christmas, find Cornell's version of "Ave Maria". RIP Chris x
Love seeing people experience him for the first time. I’m a little jealous, I wish I could hear it all again for the first time, he truly is a once in a generation talent. First time I heard this cover was the day he died. Gives me chills every time i hear it. Hope to see you react to more of him, you won’t regret diving into it. I recommend “Call me a dog”. Subscribed.
I remember hearing it years ago and being blown away. I've always been a much bigger fan of Chris Cornell than I ever have been of Sinead O'Connor btw. Just saying.
The second time I heard this was the day he died.. I was all tore up, listening to Soundgarden for a month after, but kept coming back to hear this, and the count was rising by thousands !! now its up to almost 90 million!! bless you Chris Cornell for all the music that I grew up with, especially Badmotorfinger, since it came out on my birthday. Rest in Power.
Everyone talks about Audioslave but Soundgarden's "Superunknown" and Temple of The Dog" self titled are Cornell's best work. And Prince was a genius ever get the chance look up what Purple Rain is actually about .
. I mean opinion is opinion can't knock either. Yeah still don't think his death was a suicide to this very day. I don't believe Chester's death was either. I actually believe Chester was looking into his parents lineage sinse he was an orphan and found some shit he was not supposed to
@cec just a lot of coincidences surrounding both like with Chester what throws a monkey wrench into the entire suicide theory is the song "One More Light." You write that kind of uplifting song to other people telling them " if you think no one cares well I do?" Is that something a man not wanting to be on this planet writes?
@cec and when it comes to Hollywood and L.A. I'm with Maynard from TOOL. Mother-Earth should of flushed that shit hole down 20 years ago. I never wanna go there again. It just feels evil everywhere. It gives me a nonstop feeling like you are in a haunted house and someone is just watching you everywhere
I grew up loving Chris Cornell. He was the lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave. This is the first time I heard him sing this song, how amazing! He truly is one of the best rock voices of our generation and he will be truly missed. R.I.P. Chris, you are a true legend and a rock icon
I love Chris Cornell. When I heard he took his own life I cried and felt that hole in my soul immediately. He was in a band Sound Garden and Audioslave. Thanks for playing this. 💔
That guy as you probably know is Chris Cornell singing a cover of Prince. Chris Cornell was former frontsinger of Soundgarden and audioslave like a bunch of others (like Eddy Vedder (pearl jam) ) they all have an unique sound. Specifically this song every time it makes me cry and km not ashamed of it
Ever since his passing, when listening to his music, specially his acoustic stuff it brings tears to my eyes. Why do all the brightest lights in this world burn out before their time?
Hey I have a question, what made you decide to react to this? Was it something someone suggested? The reason I ask is because this is sort of an odd introduction to him. This is Chris Cornell doing a Prince cover in 2016. His career began in the 80’s and he has a lot of hit songs from the bands he was in. I’ll give you a little brief, straightforward bit of information - He was the lead singer of Soundgarden, Temple Of The Dog, and Audioslave. Soundgarden was his primary band. Temple Of The Dog was a one-time group he took part in in 1990 as a tribute to the late Andrew Wood who was his friend and the lead singer of a band that was important around the time Grunge music was developing. Audioslave was a supergroup he was in during the 00’s when Soundgarden wasn’t active. I think it makes a lot more sense to listen to the classic work he’s done in his bands before hearing a modern day solo cover. Hunger Strike by Temple Of The Dog, Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden, or Like A Stone by Audioslave - each of those are like the biggest ones from each band he took part in. They’re all great songs, I’d suggest them. Especially Hunger Strike since it does a good job showing his vocal range from low to high. Unfortunately Chris killed himself in 2017. As a fan I was devastated. I was in tears for days because of that. By the way, I hope this doesn’t sound like criticism because I enjoyed this reaction and it was really cool to see the appreciation you had for his voice. He was a great vocalist, especially in his prime.
The first time I heard this song is when it debuted in 1989....by Sinead O'Connor....and it was a hot hit...we used to cruise around the lake on the weekends with the stereo cranked!!! I was 16 and it was over 30 years ago....then years later Chris Cornell remade it and rocked it better than any Male could....check out chris Cornells 'Hungry' you wont regret it....
i love seeing the younger generations exploring the music i grew up to. i just turned 40 and im still learning to love more from my time growing up. maturing really brings perspective. before doing a reaction, looking into the songs history...i it an original, or cover? whats the history of the singer?
the poetry that touches you is the one and only Prince. his music and lyrics will go down as some of the most heart felt of all time. Chris Cornell does an amazing job covering this masterpiece. Appreciate you Sushi, for all your efforts! Take care.
The first time I heard and saw this song being performed was in the late 80’s or early 90’s when MTV actually used to play music videos. The artist was Sinead O’Conner who also did an amazing job with the song from what I’ve heard was written by Prince. But getting back to Chris Cornell, emerging out of Seattle(my home city) was the lead singer in the rock band Soundgarden. They put out five albums after which Chris did some solo work, but then tragically took his own life. It’s such a painful thing to see someone with that talent leave behind a loving family, friends, and countless adoring fans. But sometimes the pressures of that lifestyle become too much to bear. But he just had one of those unique voices that everybody LOVED. Check out Soundgarden’s album “Superunknown” to hear more of the amazing power his voice had. But keep in mind, it’s some hard Rockin’! 😎 🎸
he's the guy paying tribute to Prince. he's the guy who committed suicide only a few years later. hes a guy who had real sorrow like real people. he's a gut who is missed....
I first heard this song back in 1990 I believe. I was about 13 years old, in junior high. This was a very deep song. At that age I should of been thinking about girls and sports but music was making an impact in my life. Now that I hear the version from Chris Cornell it hits very close to home. You couldnt find a better person to cover this song. RIP Chris Cornell
RIP Chris Cornell. One of the best voices of our generation gone too soon. Also I heard this years ago, but I think it was published in 2016 or so. I missed seeing him in concert when I had a chance. I'll never live that down. Working in a steel shop wasn't worth missing that performance.
I was 16 and we had "Community dances" on our reservation. It's the only way we could hear all the new music coming out. Sinead O'connor sang it and it reminds me if alot if heartache and heartbreak from both sides of "teenage relationships" lol I had Alot for a young teen. Very beautiful song ❤ #nostalgia
RIP Chris Cornell and Prince. Rest high on that mountain, brothers. Heard this from following Chris Cornell fb page. Chris has a powerful voice. We miss him dearly. Soundgarden-Fell on black days is powerful. Check it out. Audioslave is another band he was in. Can't think of the other one...
I first heard this song in 1990 by Sinnead O’Connor, the video was a black screen lit by just her face. A few days before recording Sinnead had been to her mum’s funeral, and her emotions are laid bare on the screen,as by the third verse she has tears running down her face
First time hearing Chris? You are one lucky woman. This guy, subjectively, is quite possibly one of the top 3 male vocalists of all time.
easily!
Objectively
It is known.
who? really? lol
Truth
"Anyone else feeling that?"
Yeah. Everybody. Everybody's feeling that. Trust me.
I cannot watch him sing this without tearing up. Every single time.
It's like a curse
I went through all my hard times in life with his music. Greatly missed 💕⚘

I first heard this in my dorm in 1990 sung by Sinead O'Connor. I was transfixed by her video which was really just a close up of her face. She was beautiful. And you could see and feel the emotion in her expression. I was a big fan of Prince, who was the songwriter. I'm sure you know he wrote for many people. I was a music major at the time studying and playing jazz. Chris did an amazing job here. Rip Chris Cornell and Prince.
Hey sushi Chris Cornell does a cover of John Lennon's song "Imagine" and it's pretty good.
This has and always will be a powerful song, but Chris' raspy and guttural voice just hits all the feels so much more. Nothing but respect to Prince as these are his lyrics, but I don't know how or if this song should ever be attempted by another individual after the late, great Chris Cornell. Like you said, "EFFORTLESS"Absolutely LOVED your reaction to this!
I’ve only seen three videos by her, but I love this woman.
His death left a great sadness. Just loved that voice of his. Like all great artist's, just living gets too much. He loved hard fell hard. Rip Chris. Love your thoughts on music from around the world
Chris cornells story is a sad story but his music spoke to my soul. I'm so sad that he's gone
R.I.P Chris! 😢 Such a Titan of music in your life. You are and will always be a true LEGEND. You are so missed by so many. Thank you for the years and the amazing voice which you gave to us in in the short time that you were here.
I can't pick who does this song better. Both Sinead and Chris' versions are so well done. The emotion they both pour into it makes the song epic.
Prince, since he wrote it
RIP... Chris once again and prob not the last time you brought tears to my eyes.... thanks you old friend you will be missed... one love
He is the legendary singer of soundgarten. He died a few years back.
Soundgarden was one of the best bands of the 90s. His voice is like a sound cannon when he really let's go, one of the best in rock.
Nobody can wail like Cornell, check out Jesus Christ Pose from Soundgarden
You are soooo sweet! Nothing but love and empathy from you always. Much love to you Sushi! I wish the world was just full of souls like yours!
Thank you for getting some Chris Cornell in here! Love it.
I’ve been a Chris Cornell fan since the late 90’s and watching your reaction, so pure and innocent gained you another subscriber! Cheers!
RIP Chris Cornell, voice of an angel
Haven't heard this version. One of my fav vocalists of all time. Another great from a list of greats by Prince. During Christmas, find Cornell's version of "Ave Maria". RIP Chris x
Rip brother. Your voice and music touches my soul. See you on the other side hopefully
Love seeing people experience him for the first time. I’m a little jealous, I wish I could hear it all again for the first time, he truly is a once in a generation talent. First time I heard this cover was the day he died. Gives me chills every time i hear it. Hope to see you react to more of him, you won’t regret diving into it. I recommend “Call me a dog”. Subscribed.
He does a great version of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson
I remember hearing it years ago and being blown away.
I've always been a much bigger fan of Chris Cornell than I ever have been of Sinead O'Connor btw. Just saying.
he was AMAZING in his version of Billie Jean
The second time I heard this was the day he died.. I was all tore up, listening to Soundgarden for a month after, but kept coming back to hear this, and the count was rising by thousands !! now its up to almost 90 million!! bless you Chris Cornell for all the music that I grew up with, especially Badmotorfinger, since it came out on my birthday. Rest in Power.
Everyone talks about Audioslave but Soundgarden's "Superunknown" and Temple of The Dog" self titled are Cornell's best work. And Prince was a genius ever get the chance look up what Purple Rain is actually about .
Jay Spin I think I prefer Black Hole Sun
@@elischultes6587 Prince wrote this song originally and I like "Blackhole-Sun" but you gotta give Prince his due that man was a song writing madman
. I mean opinion is opinion can't knock either. Yeah still don't think his death was a suicide to this very day. I don't believe Chester's death was either. I actually believe Chester was looking into his parents lineage sinse he was an orphan and found some shit he was not supposed to
@cec just a lot of coincidences surrounding both like with Chester what throws a monkey wrench into the entire suicide theory is the song "One More Light." You write that kind of uplifting song to other people telling them " if you think no one cares well I do?" Is that something a man not wanting to be on this planet writes?
@cec and when it comes to Hollywood and L.A. I'm with Maynard from TOOL. Mother-Earth should of flushed that shit hole down 20 years ago. I never wanna go there again. It just feels evil everywhere. It gives me a nonstop feeling like you are in a haunted house and someone is just watching you everywhere
I grew up loving Chris Cornell. He was the lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave. This is the first time I heard him sing this song, how amazing! He truly is one of the best rock voices of our generation and he will be truly missed. R.I.P. Chris, you are a true legend and a rock icon
I cannot hear this version of that song without crying.
Cpt. James K Morgan same rip cc and cb I miss them both so much😔😔😔
I love Chris Cornell. When I heard he took his own life I cried and felt that hole in my soul immediately. He was in a band Sound Garden and Audioslave. Thanks for playing this. 💔
This was Chris Cornell past his prime...he and Freddy Mercury were probably the 2 greatest vocalists in rock history
If this is past his prime, then he sounds better than 99% of singers in their prime 🤷♂️
@@bryangould1666 he is past it but he gained maturity where he lost power.
That guy as you probably know is Chris Cornell singing a cover of Prince.
Chris Cornell was former frontsinger of Soundgarden and audioslave like a bunch of others (like Eddy Vedder (pearl jam) ) they all have an unique sound.
Specifically this song every time it makes me cry and km not ashamed of it
melodic vocal drop at 3:18 is epic
His voice just gives me chills. Love him. RIP Chris.❤💜
Sushi: ''Who is this guy? Who is he?''
Me: ''PRINCE GIRL!!! IT's PRINCE!!''
Me I'm like research! please research!
Ever since his passing, when listening to his music, specially his acoustic stuff it brings tears to my eyes. Why do all the brightest lights in this world burn out before their time?
Hey I have a question, what made you decide to react to this? Was it something someone suggested? The reason I ask is because this is sort of an odd introduction to him. This is Chris Cornell doing a Prince cover in 2016. His career began in the 80’s and he has a lot of hit songs from the bands he was in. I’ll give you a little brief, straightforward bit of information - He was the lead singer of Soundgarden, Temple Of The Dog, and Audioslave. Soundgarden was his primary band. Temple Of The Dog was a one-time group he took part in in 1990 as a tribute to the late Andrew Wood who was his friend and the lead singer of a band that was important around the time Grunge music was developing. Audioslave was a supergroup he was in during the 00’s when Soundgarden wasn’t active. I think it makes a lot more sense to listen to the classic work he’s done in his bands before hearing a modern day solo cover. Hunger Strike by Temple Of The Dog, Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden, or Like A Stone by Audioslave - each of those are like the biggest ones from each band he took part in. They’re all great songs, I’d suggest them. Especially Hunger Strike since it does a good job showing his vocal range from low to high. Unfortunately Chris killed himself in 2017. As a fan I was devastated. I was in tears for days because of that.
By the way, I hope this doesn’t sound like criticism because I enjoyed this reaction and it was really cool to see the appreciation you had for his voice. He was a great vocalist, especially in his prime.
PotawatomiThunderNew couldn’t have said that better myself! RIP CC
Because when you type in chris cornell this comes up first.
He will always be THE VOICE to me. This is written by Prince and he recorded it as a tribute. Brilliant.
This song proves how great of an artist prince was rip
@Mastodon1976 keep in mind they have 30 years to improve on it
The first time I heard this song is when it debuted in 1989....by Sinead O'Connor....and it was a hot hit...we used to cruise around the lake on the weekends with the stereo cranked!!! I was 16 and it was over 30 years ago....then years later Chris Cornell remade it and rocked it better than any Male could....check out chris Cornells 'Hungry' you wont regret it....
Chris does badass cover of Billie Jean too. What a voice
i love seeing the younger generations exploring the music i grew up to. i just turned 40 and im still learning to love more from my time growing up. maturing really brings perspective. before doing a reaction, looking into the songs history...i it an original, or cover? whats the history of the singer?
If you liked this by him I'd suggest 'Like a stone" by him and his band audioslave... rest in peace Chris
I heard his version as it was being made live on Xm radio. Chris is one of my favorite singers. He took a known song and created magic.
I think he was saying the name of the other guitarist because he was about to do a solo
Believe he says "cue the silence" for the solo
the poetry that touches you is the one and only Prince. his music and lyrics will go down as some of the most heart felt of all time. Chris Cornell does an amazing job covering this masterpiece. Appreciate you Sushi, for all your efforts! Take care.
He said Keith Simonds introducing the guitar player behind him.
The first time I heard and saw this song being performed was in the late 80’s or early 90’s when MTV actually used to play music videos. The artist was Sinead O’Conner who also did an amazing job with the song from what I’ve heard was written by Prince. But getting back to Chris Cornell, emerging out of Seattle(my home city) was the lead singer in the rock band Soundgarden. They put out five albums after which Chris did some solo work, but then tragically took his own life. It’s such a painful thing to see someone with that talent leave behind a loving family, friends, and countless adoring fans. But sometimes the pressures of that lifestyle become too much to bear. But he just had one of those unique voices that everybody LOVED. Check out Soundgarden’s album “Superunknown” to hear more of the amazing power his voice had. But keep in mind, it’s some hard Rockin’! 😎 🎸
he's the guy paying tribute to Prince. he's the guy who committed suicide only a few years later. hes a guy who had real sorrow like real people. he's a gut who is missed....
I first heard this song back in 1990 I believe. I was about 13 years old, in junior high. This was a very deep song. At that age I should of been thinking about girls and sports but music was making an impact in my life. Now that I hear the version from Chris Cornell it hits very close to home. You couldnt find a better person to cover this song. RIP Chris Cornell
Was the lead singer to one of the biggest groups in the world SoundGarden.
RIP Chris Cornell. One of the best voices of our generation gone too soon. Also I heard this years ago, but I think it was published in 2016 or so. I missed seeing him in concert when I had a chance. I'll never live that down. Working in a steel shop wasn't worth missing that performance.
Try his song “nearly forgot my broken heart”
I was 16 and we had "Community dances" on our reservation. It's the only way we could hear all the new music coming out. Sinead O'connor sang it and it reminds me if alot if heartache and heartbreak from both sides of "teenage relationships" lol I had Alot for a young teen. Very beautiful song ❤ #nostalgia
He has a penetrating voice, and makes the song his own.
RIP Chris Cornell and Prince. Rest high on that mountain, brothers.
Heard this from following Chris Cornell fb page. Chris has a powerful voice. We miss him dearly. Soundgarden-Fell on black days is powerful. Check it out. Audioslave is another band he was in. Can't think of the other one...
Soundgarden’s “Spoonman” for a good time.
I first heard this song in 1990 by Sinnead O’Connor, the video was a black screen lit by just her face. A few days before recording Sinnead had been to her mum’s funeral, and her emotions are laid bare on the screen,as by the third verse she has tears running down her face
who is this guy? well "He is the father of grunge era"
I love love love this song. i listen to it all the time. i heard it years ago at work.
As great as this vocal was, Sinead O’Connor's release is still by far the best version of this Prince song.
This is what happens when you have a great song writer and a great singer doing their thing. RIP Prince and Chris Cornell
Chris Cornell. So deeply missed. That beautiful, powerful, raw, golden voice should still be creating.......💔💔💔💔
Gone to soon! RIP Chris and thank you for all great music!!
