The vocal on the original song is one of the best ever. It can go toe to toe with whitney or mariah. The problem is Lisa didn't have any more hit songs. For such an amazing voice, I wish she had at least one more great song.
@@moltenpros ..She. wanted. a. career. Not. Hits. And. Fame. She has been working at what she loves since she came on the scene. That in itself is a success! Stop diminishing people's success by Hollywood superficial measurements.
@@septemberjanuary4636 You don't know her so you don't know what she wants. Every star wants hit songs because that is how they make money to feed their family and how they make their legacy. If it wasn't for that one hit song nobody would know about her. I actually love this song and it's in my all time top 10 R&B song. The performance at the apolo is one of the greatest ever. I have the song and video in my home collection and play it often so I have supported her more than most people. I just wish she made more hit songs and I am sure she also wished she made more hit songs.
With some new turns and twist that still had us in the middle of the road with those pipes blasting us through with wonderful pipes of hers!! Very controlled musical journey bringing tears to my eyes so much I've gots to play it once again!!!😂❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Nothing like live, original track great but this has way more feeling she’s a grown ass woman she’s lived so the vocals would’ve matured and her tone would naturally be heavier than 30 years ago.
This woman is a technical vocal beast. I love the original version but this here was a treat of all treats. I really enjoyed it and Lisa does no wrong!!!
I never paid attention to what this song meant because I was so taken away by her voice, like manna from heaven. But, with this interpretation I get it. Lovely, love her.🙏🏿💯💕
She sounds so amazing and reminds mr of Phyllis Hyman in her later years. Lisa’s tone is much richer and depoer now. Well preserved voice. I love how she jazzed this up!
@@anthonytaylor7928 I didn’t say she sounded like Phyllis. Learn to read and comprehend. I said she reminds me of Phyllis in her later years meaning aesthetically. The hat and attire.
Mariah Carey .. ya know.. Artist of the Millennium... Maybe u heard of Her. Lisa's alright.. but if she's going to sing that song.. she should stop trying to be Miss Granola Bar and trying to be so "unique" and just sing the damn song. Lisa comes off and trying too hard to be artistic now. And get in shape. She used to have it together with Luther. Oh well.
The original recording is a masterpiece. Lisa is pitch perfect with every word, skillfully executed to coincide with the precise emotion she wants to convey with every note. Nothing is left to chance. Lisa is in complete control the entire way through. She is in total command of her instrument like a virtuoso to a Stradivarius. The hair on the back of your neck stands up because you're bewitched by something extraordinary. It took Patti LaBelle a lifetime to achieve her first Grammy but Lisa was there to share it with her on account of the brilliance of her performance in this song from her debut album. 'How Can I Ease the Pain' is absolute perfection. Perfection.
Can’t agree with you more. Lisa is a phenomenal talent. Seen her perform while on tour with Luther Vandross many times. The power of her voice is unbelievable
@@marvintheatreYou said it, but it was incorrect. She sang above D6 in her head voice (flageolet) and those notes are “whistle notes” but she did not in fact use the whistle register to produce them. We know this in part because her notes from D6-G6 were connected to the rest of her voice and flageolet rarely goes above G6 (A6 in extremely rare instances) whereas whistle register can go up into the 8th octave for some singers.
@@babiearm_1She's reinterpreting it. It has more feeling and more moody tone when you have lived through it. She's not pressured under the industry to hit the "money notes." I'm sure she can do it. That's not important. REAL music fans appreciate this.
Lisa Fischer is so underrated! I had this song on a single cassette, yes, I said cassette. I must have played it a thousand times. Her voice is still so AMAZING!! I got goosebumps!
I cry every time I hear this song. Lisa Fischer is phenomenal and never got her props. I shed tears not about a relationship. I've lost so much in life! This song reminds me 😢
Lisa initially sang back-up for Luther Vandross. Hello? L-u-t-h-er. I loved them both. So when her solo project was released, I made a b-line to the record store and *knew* my mind would be blown. It was. 🎶 👑 🖤
When this song was released I was a silly kid and didn't have the depth of experience to appreciate the lyrics or Lisa's amazing vocals. 30 + years later of living makes this a brand new song to me.
You better say that!👏🏾👏🏾 Ironically I thought about her about a month ago and started playing this song and had the same realization now as an experienced adult it hit TOTALLY different. Such a beautifully sad song. She is so talented and underrated ❤
I've been listening to a lot of thar old music and realizing what I missed. I get teary eyed thinking of how beautiful these people could sing . We don't very many that sing like this anymore.
she's straight giving me goosebumps with her vocal styling. This is all I wanted. Just a little touch of Lisa's talent. I couldnt get into the super duper mellow version of this song. But this right here is beautiful.
@@dontreldontrel416 have you watched any of the clips of her singing this in the last ten or so years?? She doesnt sing it anywhere near the way she use to. Its like some lightweight, airy, floaty, really slowed down version of the song. We can easily say she changed it up because she's older and doesnt have the vocal power that she had in her younger days but I dont think thats why. This is the closest I've heard her sing this song to the original version.
Ms. Lisa Fischer, Thank you for coming back to grace us once again. Seeing and listening to you have been a sight for sore eyes and for sore ears ! What a treat it has been to watch you perform. You are like a Cordial Cherry to me ! May God continue to bless you.❤
@@yakzivz1104 You mean she can't hit the highest notes. She hit and sustained a full-bodied G5 in this performance and has done so much more in her recent shows with Grand Baton with glaring consistency. Most normies just don't understand what a rare feat this is.
@@foreighteen7797 the bottom line is that she does not sound the same as she did when she was in her 20's; however, she will always be an incredible singer. Stop taking my comments as an attack on her because I am actually a fan of hers
@@torturingsouls9635 "Especially the whistle notes"? Those are the only notes she did not hit. And those notes happen to be the least important ones in this song. Whistle notes are used for effect and don't hold any lyrical significance. As for the important parts, she hit virtually everything, and even sustained the mixed/belted G5 in the original. In some of her recent renditions of the same song, she ascended to a mixed A5 for effect. When she sang "Feeling Good" twice with Ledisi in 2019, she sustained a full-bodied Bb5 with no visible effort in both performances. Name one other female singer over 60 who has that much freedom and consistency in her upper belting/mix. I seriously can't think of anyone except Patti LaBelle (and maybe Karen Clark Sheard), and I know a ton of veteran singers with well-preserved voices. Also often ignored is how much she gained in the bottom part of her range. She can bring her chest voice down to a baritonal A2 with strength, fullness, and consistency, which is difficult even for some men.
She fucked up dawg ok admit it it’s ok to not sound as good as you once did shit look at Mariah and other singers ITS OK including Lauryn Hill so shut up
Underrated comment, love your attention to detail and musical knowledge. She absolutely is the master of interpretation of the same piece over years, love every version of this song.
She definitely did throughout. She didn't attack any of the choruses the same way because she's older. It's totally understandable but to say that she is as she was is just silly. Of course, she's not and she couldn't be. She's still quite capable and she's still VERY good.
Lisa is an INCREDIBLE SINGER!!!!!! She has been ready to emerge from the background for a while!!! The band is amazing as well! Narada Micheal Walden is a very skilled and accomplished musician who doesn't get enough mention along with the other great and pioneering drummers and it's cool to see him still wielding the sticks!
Lisa has been extraordinary no matter where she’s placed and been emerged from the background ever since hitting the incredible A Night in Tunisia for Chaka Khan back in the 80’s when she first started touring.
Narada Michael Walden is one of the greatest songwriters ever. I love his work so much!! ❤ He inspired me to become a songwriter. His music is beautiful and timeless! Incomparable! Xoxo xoxo ❤️
@@cecegiles7286: It was co-written by Lisa Fischer and Narada Michael Walden; also, he produced it. They both also co-wrote her hit, "Save Me," which was a HUGE dance floor hit.
Im dreading listening to this song. This was my favorite song still is til a man hurt me down to my soul. She was singing what I was going through.❤ Its bittersweet. I'll never forget those long train rides seeing my reflection crying. I now know I'm better by myself.
I feel ya! I kept passing the video up until I couldn’t any longer. It took me right back to the place, the day, the season, the Me and Him at the time…sighhhhh❤️🙏🏿
As females age, especially singers, their vocals register lower. (So unfair) However, Lisa is a masterclass in the proper adjustment of her placement as she beautifully ages.
Not entirely true. Patti LaBelle has a magnificent whistle that she hardly ever uses. She used it at almost 80 to sing tribute to Mariah Carey. It was flawless. Lisa was a beast at her whistle back in the day.
@@justtubing767A female voice does deepen as they age and after pregnancy. All women’s voices deepen slightly once she becomes pregnant. All voices get richer as we age. As for Patti her tone isn’t as bright as it was when she was in her 20s and 30s it is what it is.
I remember hearing that she didnt want to deal with the mess of being a solo artist & preferred doing backs & not sure how accurate but I felt that in my core. This voice should just be allowed to shine, not be critiqued and exploited. Love this performance!!! Thankful to see her!!!
I saw Lisa while she was a background vocalist for Luther and she performed this tune ,it was more close to the recorded version and she killed it,in later years I got to see her with the Stones and she was excellent especially on Gimme Shelter,she’s still holding it down and far from underrated,one of the greatest background vocalist ever along with Cissy Houston,Tawatha Agee to name a few
It makes me feel honored too have been born in the times where I grew up on the best music has ever been on this planet the 70s thru the 90s this is real music 🎼!!!❤❤❤❤
This is truly vocal acrobatics 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I didn’t blink one time, mouth open 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 still running circles around 90% of EVERYBODY in the game. I would love to hear her and Chante Moore do a song.
Yassssss, Auntie Lisa! She controlled that song like nobody's business. Even tho she didn't hit them whisper high notes, Auntie let us know that she could if she wanted to. This arrangement was 🔥
Classic song by a very Classy & Sophisticated, Gifted and Talented Artist Lisa Fischer ! GOD continue to Preserve & Protected the GIFT he has given her. Sing Lisa 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Well song👍🏾 Grace✌🏾✊🏾!!!
Still that Beautiful Voice and Still A Beautiful woman! Different than before, understandably as the years have passed, the way she sings this, but still just as Awesome. Rich. Soulful. Moving. Stirring. Thank you so much for this!!!...AND THAT OUTFIT ON HER!...SUCH A CLASSIC & FOREVER BEAUTY❤❤❤
This is an absolute Masterclass in singing and adjusting to your vocal maturity. She actually knows how to use her mic. It’s amazing. Lisa is otherworldly.✨✨✨
i love the vocal skill and choices here. Its a fresh current update that showcases the growth and depth of the artist all the while maintaining the integrity of the song. I also love the look and the band and singers! Had me singing with the background. Bravo Lisa! Thank you Narada!
This vocal mastery, absolutely the finest vocal arrangement I ever heard in a long time. Astonishing stealth of musicality,brilliant and intricately crafted!!! Tonality so wonderfully intricate, elegantly fulfilling to the soul❤️👑🖤♾️💛🦋💖🎶🙏🏾✨
I see Ice Black on guitar! I played with Lisa when “How Can I Ease the Pain first came out in 91 on Asenio Hall, Into the Night & Alan Thicke Show! She still sounds amazing!!
Beautiful! Absolutely, hauntingly beautiful! Stupendous!! Lisa sang this more intriguingly than the recorded version - and I love the recorded version! She toured many years with The Rolling Stones!! 🙏🏿🎆✊🏾 And respect to Narada Michael Walden - produced and wrote for Aretha!
Every time I hear this Queen sing, I get goosebumps! Ms Lisa Fischer is a living legend and THE vocal stylist of our time! Her instrument is incomparable! Epic!
She just made my top 10 best female singers of all time. So much control and powerful runs and tone. OMG! Lisa Fisher ya'll Lisa Fisher, still doing it and still sounds amazing! Give it up ya'll
Yaaas!Saw her live with Luther Vandross in SanAntonio back in the 1990s!-This CD is still on rotation in my car!All the songs on this cd are amazing!!Thanks for posting!
Lisa Fisher still has that beautiful!! voice. I love!! her voice. She still looks great!!! vocals are still on point. Those high notes and runs amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless her. Excellent!!! performance.

Luther knew what Gem he had in having her on vocals/background
That whole crew was FASCINATING with the TRUEST OF TALENT EVER‼️🏆🏆🏆🏆‼️💜
That’s because he was a legendary background vocalist like them in his early days …
Was there any doubt?
My thoughts exactly. ❤
She was touring with Prince before his death
Boy oh boy!!! Her voice has aged like fine wine!! When I say her pipes are still strong and flawless. She is blessed
We ar blessed to experience her talent.
Baby that is not her she was white the real Lisa
@@TeeFearlessthinking of lisa stanfield lol
Lisa was my teenage crush- Lovely vocals
true, she still has the power, technic, tone etc great vocalist!
Thirty two years later , Lisa still rocks this song. So underrated.

This should be released now. It’s better than anything else on the radio. Let the great singing be put forward again.❤🎉
Amen. There is no one in modern popular music of any genre that can remotely sing at her level.
True Facts ❤❤❤
She's still got it!Forever a fan!!!🎤🎤🎤🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️
Whoooo Chile! She still sounds so freaking Good! 👏 such a talent, we love you ❤ Lisa! Always have, always will!
I can’t even sound this good in my dreams. Just simply beautiful
Never lost that beautiful voice. Blessed to be able to have grown up in that era of music
I remember hearing that she didnt want to deal with the mess of being a solo artist & preferred doing backs & not sure how accurate but I felt that in my core. This voice should just be allowed to shine, not be critiqued and exploited. Love this performance!!! Thankful to see her!!!
Also, someone said she sounds like later Phyllis, I'd add Chaka too!! Just perfection!
I saw her live back in the day when she was touring with Luther Vandross. To this day it's still one of the best concerts I've been too.
Thank you for this!!!!!! No other words! She is THEE vocalist! She looks GRRRRRRRRREAT TOO! It s giving Phyllis Hyman with this look!❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
I saw Lisa while she was a background vocalist for Luther and she performed this tune ,it was more close to the recorded version and she killed it,in later years I got to see her with the Stones and she was excellent especially on Gimme Shelter,she’s still holding it down and far from underrated,one of the greatest background vocalist ever along with Cissy Houston,Tawatha Agee to name a few
It makes me feel honored too have been born in the times where I grew up on the best music has ever been on this planet the 70s thru the 90s this is real music 🎼!!!❤❤❤❤
Didn't know she performed anymore. Satisfied & sanctified my musical cravings
What can I say? Lisa is a vocal beast. She's fearless on the mic. A true song stylist.
This is truly vocal acrobatics 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I didn’t blink one time, mouth open 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 still running circles around 90% of EVERYBODY in the game. I would love to hear her and Chante Moore do a song.
It's more like @L.I.S.A.F.I.S.C.H.E.R. is STILL running circles around everybody else, 100%.
Why did I just rock out to this at 8:30 am???!!! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Wow, just wow. I hope she goes on tour, I would love to see her live.
Her remake of “Wildflower” is still on my playlist
