Many folks may not realize that he also wrote some incredible songs for other performers, a prime example being the Dan Seals country hit "Bop". Dan passed away less than a year after Paul, so I'd like to think the two longtime friends are sittin' around Heaven with a couple guitars singing away eternity and having a blast.
Meet Me In Montana for Dan and Marie Osmond too. He wrote several of Tanya Tucker’s hit songs later in her career, Love Me Like You Used To, Just Another Love, Down To My Last Teardrop, are a couple. He wrote Lorrie Morgan’s Back In Your Arms Again and Ronnie Milsap’s Turn That Radio On. He wrote and recorded with Marie Osmond You’re Still New To Me. Etc etc
Met him in 1982 when he lived awhile in Georgia. The nicest soft spoken humble man that I ever met. Low key personality just like he wrote and sang. God Bless you and thank you for the beautiful songs. Rest in Peace.
It was 1979, our junior high school dance. She was so beautiful, even though we never danced or touched, I'm not sure you even noticed me. I sang this song to you. Now, 45 years later, things are the same. We have never touched or danced, and you won't remember me if someone asked you, but I still think of you when I hear this song.
I hadn't seen my ex-wife in 8 years...after we ran into each other one Christmas, I went home and played this song over and over...we've been together now for 39 years...
I dated a guy here in town 42 years ago. We broke up I married twice both husbands died. This gentleman from 42 years ago never married we have reconnected. He said biggest mistake he made is not marrying me. Life's funny
You are so right, sir! This man was barely known by most people. I'm sure more people know the song than know who wrote and performed it. I've read that Paul Davis hated the spotlight. Perhaps an explanation for why he never became the superstar he should have been.
I remember that day well. I was on the computer and it was Saturday. I was shocked! I was like, oh no! Paul Davis died. I was on the phone with someone who had absolutely no idea about who this person was. His loss!
Mr. Paul Davis will never be forgotten. Proof of that is in all the lovely comments written here. Paul and his music will live on, in the hearts of all his millions of fans worldwide.
God, this tune gets me where it hurts. Haunting tune of lost love. April 22, 2020 will be 12 years since Paul passed. Let's think of his astonishing talents on that day,
I just love his music. awesome & that hair & them tight jeans. Love, love him. little to much beard. his music writing was on top. like he sang 'knocking me smooth'.
This was American Music Shop. I still have it on VHS. Paul had been shot a few years before and only had one lung that still worked properly and he STILL sang this good. After this clip ends, Paul Overstreet asks Dean Dillon what he wants to sing. Dean shakes his head and laughs and says, "Cain't nobody folluh that!" in his best Texas accent. Priceless. The band for that show included Brent Mason, Mark O'Connor, Harry Stinson, and Glen Worf. A Who's Who of studio pros at the time.
Better live! Saw him in 1979 in a club in Billings, Montana! He used 2 drummers! GF that was with me was bawling all night, 'cuz Paul kept looking at her! We had a table a few feet away!
@@angelagreene4218 I worked in Billings for a little over a year, at the Phillips gas plant right in town. I had rented a nice house on the outskirts of Billings. Other than being extremely cold in the winter, it was absolutely amazing. As was all of Montana that we visited while there.
And then one evening you just bump into this song. and you're 23 again,, and now you can only remember the way it felt looking into her eyes. Haunting memories. It does not hurt, it just haunts.
+Rita Solis Radius Heard "Sweet Life" on the radio this morning and it jogged my memory so I went to TH-cam to watch some videos...only to find out that Paul passed away quite some time ago. Agree with you that he had a golden voice. Rest in peace,
@108521656295967031178 Yes, dear friend! He passed away one year before his fellow and friend Dan Seals! They left this world, but we still have their memories...memories of quality...true music. Very glad to talk with another fan of them. Wish you a nice and swEEt night, my friend!
I've discovered Paul Davis only a few weeks ago. He looked like a country man, but his music was so sophisticated, so soft, and his voice was so beautiful. Rest in peace, Paul, I love your music, it makes me feel really well!!!
I MET HIM THE 1ST TIME WHEN HE LIVED IN GEORGIA TOO. AND HE WAS SOFT SPOKEN AND A LITTLE SHY. BUT HE LOST THAT SHYNESS WHEN HE SANG. TO THIS DAY I REMEMBER. THE TIME I SPENT TALKING TO HIM. AWWWWW WHAT A VOICE!!!!
Simply: the truest performance of the most beautiful song ever written. I've watched this a hundred times and I've never done so without tearing up. I miss her more dearly than ever, each time I listen yet I know I'll listen again,... and again ... and again.
Forever in love with Paul Davis .....I would have chased after him like nobody's business. That smile.... in the few interviews I've been fortunate to see him speak I know he would have been my kind of man. What a golden voice & brilliant mind. His songwriting was so wonderful..... Rest in Peace Paul baby, we're still listening to & loving you now & always
This song still send chills down my spine even today, so many years later! What a talent! How pure is this? I believe there was still so much more left in the tank with Paul that was unfortunately never tapped. Such a beautiful song that brings back powerful high school memories when I was a kid. Paul left us way too soon. God he had a smooth voice.....Rest in peace Paul Davis.
I can tell you point blank that it was just as good---especially that night at the temple theater in Meridian Mississippi---well it sounded damn good to me sittin' on the side of the stage...got better and better---year after year ;)
I was Around 5 yrs Old way back in Philippines Singing this Song.. thinking who sang this wonderful song who inspired me and I like all compositions he made.. Thank you! And in some unnoticed places in this world lot of people Loves you my Friend.. ^_^
Great performance, He's not just some one with a good voice, you can tell when a man is just so down to earth. We will never forget him. From Thailand.
🎉still here listening this beautiful song from my childhood 70s 🎉 great time 🎉 Paul davis one of the best singers of the 70s great time to be alive good old days classic masterpiece is 2024 love it 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
We just covered this song on our channel - This is one of those 70's classic rock songs you heard before but don't know who wrote it. Personally, I love this song and is one of my all time favorites to perform.
I love his voice, so much. This song reminds me so much of when I was little, and now it holds an entirely new meaning as an adult. Just such a beautiful classic. It makes me cry.. every time.
Que descanse en paz 🕊️ hoy a mis 60 años sigo escuchando sus canciones y verdaderamente mi alma se estremece al recordar aquellas epocas en que el amor era bueno 😢
Timeless beautiful ballad, brings back fond memories. Thank goodness Paul Davis had survived a terrible robbery/shooting in Nashville, five years prior to this live performance. It was sad to know he passed away at the age of 60...from a heart attack. His music (especially this song), will always live on. Thank you kindly for posting this live performance.
I meet him in1974we we’re together for three days and nights and in El Paso Texas we went separate ways I believe he wrote this song for us he told me he did I believe him
His birthday is today and tomorrow will be the one year anniversary of his passing. A truly wonderful voice silenced forever. R.I.P. Paul, you are truly missed.
I was a young teen when this song came out & I fell in love with it immediately!! He surely did have one of the purest and most unique voices ever!! Unfortunately the truth is that if Paul had been a "pretty boy," there's no telling how far he could have gone!! This was the most emotive song he sang, but he had LOTS of really great songs, and many of them were penned by him!!
Bless His Heart!! I've loved this song since I was a kid growing up in the 70's & 80's. It always played on the Lite Rock Radio in Omaha, NE. May his beautiful soul R.I.P.
Still get butterflies the same as when I first heard it. It never wears thin. It captures that feeling that most of us have felt. That feeling, deep down inside, will always be alive for those that have felt this way... every time we hear this song.
This is a softer, even sadder version of this incredibly beautiful song. Brings me back to much younger places when my heart was still very tender. May Paul Davis' memory forever be a blessing. He touched so many people.
I miss this wonderful gentleman's music such great lyrics, and yet still a timeless classic! Miss you Paul thank you for the many songs I still love today!
Because of the TH-cam uploads I have enjoyed the rare footage of Paul Davis performing this song. Lovely. So soothing as it was back in the day. Can't get enough of my memories in song.
Just a sweet, ole Southern boy!😢 I grew up in Texas, and sang in my church choir. This reminds me of a boy who had long, blond hair, and played guitar when we sang at Mass every Sunday. He looks so sweet, and angelic with that face, and his gentle, soulful voice! When I hear Paul Davis sing I feel like it's safe to be a feminine woman, to let my self be vulnerable, because oftentimes I feel like that part of me died.
This song takes me back to when life was real. Oh God I miss those days
One of my favorite songs. I miss those times as well. 4/6/24
I miss them too! This song that I haven't heard in so long actually made me cry!
Real Talk 👍🏾

That’s beautiful
I didn’t know he wrote these as well. Thanks for sharing . Great songwriter
Dan was Bahai, not Christian. Forget heaven.
Fun fact to know. He's my cousin and no I'm not bullshitten, I don't play like that. Nothing but love for the man whose legacy lives on. ❤❤❤
Met him in 1982 when he lived awhile in Georgia. The nicest soft spoken humble man that I ever met. Low key personality just like he wrote and sang. God Bless you and thank you for the beautiful songs. Rest in Peace.
You were very lucky I just found his voice and story's 2 years ago I hope you enjoy still what I just found
Wow que hermosa canción, que linda voz
Mississippi dude who was taken too soon to cancer. Wonderful voice and feeling behind it!
You are so lucky to have known him
He would have been fun to jam with...he had a very rare musical magic touch

That’s beautiful. Hope you’re happy ❤
2024, anyone?
His music spoke from the heart. A humble and beautiful artist. Sorely missed.
Listening to it at work
Hey from Philippines 🫶
My heart hurts….because I miss these days so much ❤
Me!
One of the saddest and most beautiful songs ever written. Gorgeous soothing voice and performance.
Sung by a man, but a woman can relate to it also.
Paul Davis: one of the most underated singers I have ever heard!!! R.I.P

Gregory Canfield He was always a superstar to me & my heart
What a beautiful Soul he was 😎😭😭😭
My heart breaks Everytime I hear this song😰
I remember that day well. I was on the computer and it was Saturday. I was shocked! I was like, oh no! Paul Davis died. I was on the phone with someone who had absolutely no idea about who this person was. His loss!
Ive gotten a harsh lesson in reality the songs by Paul Davis,Dan Seals, and Dan Fogelberg were all my favorites ,...but sadly all are gone
Even as he aged his voice was still soft and every note hit the perfect key! This has got to be one of my favorite songs he sing!
His voice was sexy , strong and soft all at once. He was GORGEOUS..
A true singer.....period.
He passed away at 46 years old. Gone way too soon..😢
He was 60 in 2008 when he passed.@@jamesgilmore1684

This is a beautiful timeless love song ❤❤❤❤
Paul lives on in the hearts and minds of those of us who choose to remember better days....
Not sure why I'm obsessed with this song! I'm single and not dating anyone yet this song touches my heart.
God, this tune gets me where it hurts. Haunting tune of lost love.
April 22, 2020 will be 12 years since Paul passed. Let's think of his astonishing talents on that day,
coolkayaker1 Amen coolkayaker1, amen
He was a simply guy and we loved him
he was more than great. what a voice & that awesome music . no one can take his place. a beautiful & sweet man, l think.
What a talent. This song still haunts me
Tomorrow's the day. Was his birthday today as well. Happy blessed birthday Paul! Bet you've been tearing up the Lord's eyes these past 12 years!
The honesty and beauty in his voice and his eyes kills me. What an amazing talent
I just love his music. awesome & that hair & them tight jeans. Love, love him. little to much beard. his music writing was on top. like he sang 'knocking me smooth'.
Who's Listening in 2024.? ❤
Sad he was mugged before died I love his music. ❤

Very increíble song!!!
I never get tired of hearing this man sing. What an awesome spirit and gift.
He was the shit.
Is that other one Paul Overstreet?
Yes they were friends

This dude was blessed with a golden voice. Takes me back to the 1980s. When music was still real music.
70s
@@rosannadana2922 No argument there 🎵
@@chrislewi3213 still the best
No, I was a child when this was released. It was the 70s.
This song came out in 1977....Paul wrote Cool Night which was realesed in 1981....❤
PAUL was a true blessing from HEAVEN. what a great voice.
On his album cover. I think " Sweet Life" he looked like that famous picture of Jesus. Then he met him soon after. 😢
One of the best written songs of all time......
You got that right -A beautiful song
Gorgeous, wistful melody
Everytime I hear this song, it makes me appreciate being an American. So many of us take for granted. This song is truly the song for ALL AMERICA!
He was a brilliant writer and artist and really got humanity and what life is all about. Sorely missed.
After all these years, this song still resonates with me. RIP Paul.
Tie this to an old girlfriend that you loved..it can drive u crazy...music magic for sure
Me too 😢
@martinlaulunen7189 yes you are exactly right. 😊
That boy ain’t no country singer. He’s full-on soul brother number one. Smooth stylings.
One of the best singers I've ever heard.
Better live! Saw him in 1979 in a club in Billings, Montana! He used 2 drummers! GF that was with me was bawling all night, 'cuz Paul kept looking at her! We had a table a few feet away!

I've always liked the original recording but this has so much more feeling! It's reinterpretation made me hear it in a whole new way.
