I've had the pleasure of singing this song with Rick, and let me tell you.... When you're standing that close to him when he rips that 3rd at the end of the tag... Your ears will be ringing for a while afterwords.. This man is a BEAST of a musician and vocalist.
There are so many things to love about this, but since folks have hopped on the Rick Taylor bus (and with GREAT reason), I'll add that on this tag in particular, I hear tenors flip to their full voice on the huge penultimate chord "the" only to flip back to a falsetto type voice on the final chord (some may argue it's because they land on the third and it's a "balance" choice. But, Rick does NOT flip and allows his full voice to soar ripping that 3rd and staying within balance and ADDING emotion, impact and goosebumps!
All I can say is wow kick ass I tell you what I thought Rick Taylor was an amazing baritone when he sang with arcade but damn he really is great as a Tanner and of course Joe Conley was always an excellent lead Jack Pinto. I met him once he sang with our course ones and he coached us for contest but he’s an awesome Bone and is awesome too. I don’t know that gentleman but he’s awesome.
Seriously? Hate is such a strong word. Joe is one of my best friends and is considered by so many to be one of the top basses to have ever graced the international stage. And who did you get YOUR gold medal with? I'll wait...

love Kipp, but man… Rick Taylor is an absolute beast in this. that 3rd in the tag is just 🔥
THIS is the foursome that should have won! Rick Taylor is a beast tenor and the fact he was replaced by anyone was so sad.
That bass/bari slide at 3:00 is absolutely awesome!
Rick gives a little extra juice on the word "more" (3:29) and it changes the whole chord, what a fantastic voice

That was the gold standard version of this song. Wow!
Mighty awuhsome!
I’m forming a “Rick Taylor is a gold medal tenor” club. (And I’ve told him so in person.)
Sign me up 😄
Unlike a lot of quartets, not one of them was at his limit on this tag.
Thank you for posting this!
Wowowow that tenor 1

Why did they replace Rick with Kipp? Just curious.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
hate the bass. Just too much trying to be a barbershopper instead of good singing.
