I turned 40 in 1992 and this song came along to take me away to dream land. Why didn't Jon make more beautiful music? It's 2024 and this song still gives me goose bumps.
Saw him 96...my souk still aches...most beautiful voice I've ever felt..not heard. Gift straight from heaven. Still can't get through this song without crying..❤
Yup! He started off as Gloria Estefan’s background singer and co-writer. She encouraged him to go solo, which he did. Gloria sang background on this track on the album version.
My God this is so good, I love everybody on that stage, they all gave so much passion into this performance, the drummers, the backing singers, the keyboard players, they guitatists and Jon, they were all perfect, I wish I was there.
Seriously amazing and I thought the exact same...just so much damn passion and feeling from everyone!!! The audience knew they witnessed something special that night
the bg vocalists and that dude in the center. I love them. you can see them all on youtube in different performances of these songs in 1992 / 1993 around the world
Hello from Folsom, CA in July 15, 2023...I was super young in 1992 and now a grandma and still loves this song. One of my faves back then with Gloria Estefan's "Don't Wanna Lose You".
So I was looking for a live performance of this song because he give be goosebumps on the actual recording. But I was NOT expecting all this. I’m in tears due to his vocal perfection! When someone sings passionately and in perfect pitch and tone I get goosebumps or tears. Jon is TRULY a legend! Wow! Must also say the Emilio Estafan MURDERED the production! And Gloria Estafan was killing that background vocal in the recording!!
I mean this is just a flawless performance. You can see and feel that Jon Secada is at the absolute top of his game here. There is something very endearing about this youthful arrogance. You don't come to a late night show and put in such an incredible performance on an improvised stage if you are not somewhat full of yourself. Love it! ❤❤❤Background singers and band were also great here. Hope that somebody will someday upload a higher quality version of this performance.👃
George Michael, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins... So many great pop singers on 80s and 90s. O believe that Bruno Mars is the only real male talent on pop music today.
i think this is the epitome of good song writing. The entire fuckin band is actually enjoying their own song. As a guitarist i always wished to be able to be involved in such amazing music.
Because he is Afrolatino. Do you realize the slaves ships had different stops throughout the continent? Also the slaves treaties were made by colonialists which include the Spaniards.
Stonehaven tht we all come from the background and as a creole woman most black people have great voices. I know him personally because he interpreted one of my mom’ relatives song which is titled “Por amor” (by Rafael Solano). He has a beautiful tone, vibratto.
Just remember that Jon would’ve remained as a backup singer for Gloria Estefan if she didn’t encourage him to step out on his own. She saw talent and wanted him to embark on his own stardom!
I heard this song when I was 11. I loved it then and I still love it now over 20 yrs later. Props to the lady drummer in the background too! I've never seen that kind of flash from any female drummer in the 90's. She may have been the first or at the very least ahead of her time 🏆🥁
Honest if it wasn't for the little ad-libbed extras here and there I'd have said this was an alternative studio version! He's got an absolutely sublime voice!
Wow... I found this song accidentally after about 20 years since I possibly heard it last time. Definitely didn't listen to it 10 times at least in a row. 😅 I am blown away . What a performance.. wish we could bring back real music
The expression: "he played with Heart" absolutely personifies Jon Secada (and Friends)! Jon is such a kool dude and consummate performer! That drummer is VERY cool also with the 'sticks trick'---LOVE that!
After reading some of the other comments, mine will surely pale in comparison. Alas, I must say at 41 years old this song still gets me the way it did when I first heard it!! And his performance and vocal divinity are what keeps that spark burning!! It's just another day...
I like all sorts of music but I miss music being mainstream like this. This is music and man can he sing. Hell of a bass player too. Incredible talent, all of them.
Who’s listening in 2024? 32 years later.
I am!!!
Best believe I Am
Dropped this banger on works factory Spotify yesterday and walked off to rapturous applause from fully grown men.
This really was must see tv nbc huh secada on jay leno huh
Jon secada didn't get near much credit deserved

This is a great singer. So many memories when I hear that song!
What an amazing performance. His voice has serious power.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is SINGING!

😮Wow you’re now 72? I’m 45 now and always ponder how fast this lifetime has gone by.
@@melindakeown7500 72 and proud! You'll blink and turn 72 before you know it.
Who's appreciating this still in 2021? This song just gives you that particular feeling you cannot describe.

Jesus, he killed this live.... Let's have no thumbs down for this one!!!!!
Jon's voice is absolutely incredible and on point. He's wonderful.
1st time i hear ds song way back 1st year HS 1994
Saw him 96...my souk still aches...most beautiful voice I've ever felt..not heard. Gift straight from heaven. Still can't get through this song without crying..❤
He's a song writer for gloria estefan as well. 2023. fuckin amazing stuff.
Yup! He started off as Gloria Estefan’s background singer and co-writer. She encouraged him to go solo, which he did. Gloria sang background on this track on the album version.
@@roglo06 Thats really cool. So little covers on utube for this song. Only says how difficult it is to pull it off.
What a fucking voice
This guy can SING! He's one of the best. I love this song
My God this is so good, I love everybody on that stage, they all gave so much passion into this performance, the drummers, the backing singers, the keyboard players, they guitatists and Jon, they were all perfect, I wish I was there.

That drummer is something special
Facts
That bass guy is killing it too 😊
If you ever think you're giving it 100%... check with Jon Secada first! LEGEND.
ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS IN THE WORLD AMAZING
Omg wow Jon ! You’re so fecking amazing bro ! One of my all time favourite male vocalist! ❤️❤️
3:08 hear this high note, F#5, great tenor, thanks Jon!🎼🎶🎵
Unbelievably hard song to sing and he performs it literally better than the original recording...wow...

When you say "murdered"?? Because in British English we would consider that negative - even when used in slang!
It's nice to hear another grown man say exactly what you said in your comment.
@@DistantCousin
I guess they mean 'killed' it! 😂
Mr John Secada certainly did too, impeccable live performance!
@@DistantCousinwow. Clearly you’re a female
probably the best male vocal performance of all time
Omg that Damn Slap Bass 😱😱😱👍👍👍 😎 And What a Voice 🙂👏

Beautiful. I wish people still sounded like this
Gives me goosebumps
Now we have the weeknd, Charlie Puth and the Jonas Brothers... ugh 🤢
HE is really good live. His voice didn't skip a beat.
When someone knows how to sing...then he knows. Without playback,without other's helping. Amazing Jon!
Great bass action
Out of this world :)
HAHAHAHA
It's quite high up in the mix, isn't it?!?!
Why don’t we have male singers like this anymore. You know that can actually sing
George Michael, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins... So many great pop singers on 80s and 90s. O believe that Bruno Mars is the only real male talent on pop music today.
NO MATTER WHAT LIVE I HEAR JON SING THIS SONG IT'S FLAWLESS AND BEAUTIFUL
The bassist got his volume up higher than backing vocals - slap that!! What a song 👌🏼
Awesome thank you for sharing this with us, I was 10 years old at the time and didn't have many chances to see live performances on late night tv.
Can't argue with THAT voice! Dude killed it!
WHAT A VOICE
i think this is the epitome of good song writing. The entire fuckin band is actually enjoying their own song. As a guitarist i always wished to be able to be involved in such amazing music.
My God, that boy sang like he might never get the chance again….wonderful!
Wow, he sounds incredible back when the song first came out. He gives it his all for sure. Definitely a hard song to sing!
Because he is Afrolatino. Do you realize the slaves ships had different stops throughout the continent? Also the slaves treaties were made by colonialists which include the Spaniards.
Stonehaven tht we all come from the background and as a creole woman most black people have great voices. I know him personally because he interpreted one of my mom’ relatives song which is titled “Por amor” (by Rafael Solano). He has a beautiful tone, vibratto.
Not for him we guessed 😄
@@AnGeLoUs07
Wha... what?
@@AnGeLoUs07 nobody cares bro just listen to the song
Such a great talent and he was so underrated. He started out with the Miami Sound Machine and went solo and I think he's got a amazing voice
Let’s bring it back all ohhhhhhh the golden days
That was unbelievable. Jon Secada has the voice of an angel. Absolutely wonderful.❤
What a powerhouse of a voice..dude makes you feel it in your core.
Outstanding Performer and Song !!!!!❤️🐾🎼🎸
Instant hit. Immediately classic. It has a gospel feel to it even.
2023 haven't heard this song in years. still amazing
Wow imagine the live audience witnessing this shit in the moment. POW right in the chest with power and emotion. FLAWLESS VICTORY
2024! Timeless performance - amazing.
Damn after all these years what a song 🎶
that middle backup singer is AWESOME!!!! he's SO into it!
Ok he the goat
Amazing voice!! I was 10 years old when that song came out!!! Brings back memories from my childhood...
I was 14, I loved it then and somehow even more now! One of the all time great songs!
I was 10 as well and definitely have great memories of this song playing
Just remember that Jon would’ve remained as a backup singer for Gloria Estefan if she didn’t encourage him to step out on his own. She saw talent and wanted him to embark on his own stardom!
I remember 1992 i was getting ready for work when this came on. I sat down and was glued to the set.
I heard this song when I was 11. I loved it then and I still love it now over 20 yrs later. Props to the lady drummer in the background too! I've never seen that kind of flash from any female drummer in the 90's. She may have been the first or at the very least ahead of her time 🏆🥁
I couldn't agree more! That chick is deadly drummer! I wonder what other music she's done?!?! Anybody have a name for her???
@@sheldonkaduhr296 the drummer is a man
@@thomasluedke5635 do we know his name?
Damn I miss good music!
Love his moves!
@@marciagoosby7452
I want stuff like this to make a come back to the mainstream... it's been way too long!
Gave me goosebumps in 1990's and still gives me goosebumps in 2021
Incrível ❤
No auto tuning required.
Something about his gentle eyes while he sings! His voice never ages its amazing.
Flawless!!!! What a voice, made it look easy.
Honest if it wasn't for the little ad-libbed extras here and there I'd have said this was an alternative studio version! He's got an absolutely sublime voice!
Listen to him just GIVE IT... when Music made YOU Dance & Singers SANG
2024 bring back this kind of music
Ahh the days when singers had naturally special voices and used them live to share their talent.
2022 and still mesmerizing.
The slap bass sounds amazing 🥰
Straight fire!
2.33 when he hits that note that is fucking powerful were did real soul go in the world
Wow... I found this song accidentally after about 20 years since I possibly heard it last time. Definitely didn't listen to it 10 times at least in a row. 😅 I am blown away . What a performance.. wish we could bring back real music
Me too. I can't stop listening to it over and over. I want to enjoy every single note Jon sings. His voice is absolutely beautiful.❤❤
It Was beautiful years back then i miss those days
So glad I found a live performance of this song. Just a great vocalist
Been watching a d rewatching this masterpiece.
Dude went so hard ok this at Leno 😍😍😍
Jon Secada is one of the best male vocalists ever! I can’t think of any guy out there now who can match his ability! Awesome thanks for posting
Trey Lorenz
Brian from Color me Badd
George Michael
then (John Secada), now (bruno mars)... both sexy, and great.
@@myapadie1251
John Secada is light-years ahead of that funny little Martian!
John Farnham is technically a better singer but Jon Farnham has a better tone and stronger voice. To me this 2 are the best male vocalist.
The expression: "he played with Heart" absolutely personifies Jon Secada (and Friends)! Jon is such a kool dude and consummate performer! That drummer is VERY cool also with the 'sticks trick'---LOVE that!
Damn. What an insanely powerful voice.
One of my most favourite songs. Brings back great memories. What an amazing performance!
Amazing. I feel all of those feelings. I know the pain of loss which makes him sing that way.
Killer performance... GREAT voice...
He is really singing!!!!! BRAVO
Amazing vocal skills
Jon is a legend!
Ive loved him since I was a kid in the 90's. He's so freaking beautiful... Gives me chills
What a singer. Wish he had more hits..
The most important thing any new artist can do is learn from the legends of our past. 🙏🏼💯
After reading some of the other comments, mine will surely pale in comparison. Alas, I must say at 41 years old this song still gets me the way it did when I first heard it!! And his performance and vocal divinity are what keeps that spark burning!! It's just another day...
I always thought he had a very powerful commanding voice. An absolutely amazing singer. I love this song 🎶
Crazily powerful yet somehow soft of edge... amazing!
I like all sorts of music but I miss music being mainstream like this. This is music and man can he sing. Hell of a bass player too. Incredible talent, all of them.
Underrated latino Artists.
Breath taking performance !!!
One of my favorite songs ever!!! ❤️
Wow they lit that stage on fire!!!! Amazing 👏 !!!!I dont think anyone is the audience was prepared for that
I adore this beautiful man Jon Secada, he shot me s8 through the ❤️🔥his sweetness is my weakness!
The bass is going OFF!🔥🔥🔥
Slapping it like it owes him money 😉
Still loving this song and his voice many years later! Absolutely stunning!
Pure Talent
Damn good. Even though recorded on VHS, best version by him. Still loving it in 2020! Thanks for posting!
In music. We need to BRING back Jon and the real talent that was music. Amazing 🤩 performance. 2:17 giving no F. Went in for the kill.
He rocked this song!!!!!
A true Cuban American hero - he won two Grammys and is my girlfriends all time favorite recording artist 💁🏻♂️
What a great tune and performance.
Back then, it didn’t matter how you looked, it was about the talent! Don’t get it twisted though, Jon Secada had the looks and talent! Just amazing!
Riiiiight, it didnt matter how good you looked???? Especially in pop😅😅😅
It's times like these I really wish we had 4k video and high-quality audio streams back then.
