Outstanding! You sang our song with so much soul and conviction. My hat's off too you my friend. Keep it up...that was great and you owned it. Jeff Carlisi
@@scottd3532 Grand Funk covered our song. However, Max Carl who was in 38 Special and co-wrote the song with me and Cal Curtis is now GF’s singer. That’s why they perform it. JC
@@Meatball3800 right on ,Ive been figuring out the chords for the song the last couple days..I've allways loved ,38 special , I used too crank it all the time in my big buick regal back in the 90's..lol..thanks for the reply
Parker, my wife and I left a bar in St. Louis Saturday afternoon cause the country singer was not very good. IF you had been there singing and played this. HOLY SHIT, I'm staying. This is SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL, WOW. I love 38 Special and this tune, listened to it all the time on the radio when this came out back in the 80's, On the radio all the time, it was VERY popular. You do this classic proudly, NICE work.
I absolutely love this song...I wanted to hear it slower and stripped down...my boyfriend came across your version..and it just gave me chills...what a gift you have..thank you for making my evening!!! I haven't quit smiling since I have heard this...you are Amazing!! Thank You!!❣🎶🎵❤
Always felt like this song should have been recorded slower than it originally was....great job!!! And how about some likes for that keyboard player too!! 👍
Stand and deliver. Flawless and absolutely captivating. Standing ovation and encore. Cannot stop watching this! Detected some real Steve Perry timbre moments in there. A tick of approval from one of the songwriters himself, Jeff Carlisi, below says it all!
I gotta say, when i found this, I did not expect much. Not a lot of views and few comments, but you have an amazing voice, and this is my favorite cover I found of this song on youtube. You really made this your song. Great expression and phrasing. Keep singing it.
My, my, my, you sang this song!👏💕Love the phrasing and passion put into the song. If you don’t already sing for a living, you need to go on The Voice or get an album out or something. Awesome job!
Parker James is one of the best live bands we have in our casino’s here in Shreveport Louisiana . My favorite is when he sings journey songs.. he’s good. Can’t wait til he comes back here..
Very blessed to know this amazing man. He's such a fun soul to be around. I can't find it on TH-cam but if you ever get to hear him sing Tennessee whiskey you will melt 💖💖
I know it's cliche to say, "why would anyone dislike this video", but this dude sang every note on key, got plenty of soul, damn near made a grown man cry. Jesus, there really are some miserable people in this world
IMO, its very rare that a cover matches the original, but you exceeded it, and I LOVE 38's original version with Max's voice. An extra added bonus is he was one of the writers, and I always bow to the writer when he/she performs the song, but your version is terrific, top shelf. I've probably listened to this 100 times in a few months. Great job, I hope you write your own stuff too. I would love to hear it.
Singers shows us how it is done. Our hearts goes through through the song and adds creative rendition of a very special song for him and all us. A beautiful song that reaches deep into our souls and hearts brought to us by a very special voice and singer. We need to see and hear more from this singer.
dear friend, you have sang that song like if your own, it shows that you feel it, you express love and it can be seen in your aura...keep on sharing your gift, the entire world need you and those with gigantic heart like yours...God bless you and those that you touch with your voice...best regards from your friend from down under Ernie Ramos.
I was online looking for a way to play a slower stripped down acoustic version of this song and then suddenly I came upon your version and I was so so surprised, you proved it could be done.
You really nailed the feeling of this song like no other...I would love to hear a similar treatment, with just you and the piano of their song," If I`d been the one", another song with very powerful lyrics..
very emotional very moving!! you sure put your heart and emotion into singing this song!! god bless you buddy!!! keep on singing we all need the joy!!!!!!!!
I've been following you since 2004, learned about you by chance, a song you had on a compilation disc (back when I owned a tiny recording studio) a client brought it in for me to listen to and do a track for him sing the same song. I was blown away and have been ever since. I've always wanted have some of my friends and family and myself to see you live on stage. It may never happen but, I just wanted you to know you have another fan base somewhere in NC. You are still one of my favorites. God Bless!
Wow dude ! Nice job. I love this song by 38special. I heard this song in the laundromat tonight and got emotional, My wife lives in Canada I'm in idaho. we been married since 2000 and I was traveling back and forth I made a mistake by overstaying a visit in 2008 hypothetically cause I did go back and forth before the 6 month stay and tried 3 years ago 2015 and the Canadian border wouldn't let me pass. We've talked over the years skyped, text, phone, mail. it's breaking my heart, feels like i'm living in a communist country over a damn imaginary line. Gods Country ! Not Humans. It's not our world to oppress people.

You should put this out on Country Radio. It would do well!
After two years I‘m still oberwhelmed. This is definitely the best version of this great song.
The original is stunning. But the emotion with this just brought me to tears. What a wonderful rendition!
I'd pay money just to see this guy live on stage.... fantastic my man!
He took us to church. Excellent my man.
