This version/arrangement is sooo incredibly good!!!! It brought tears to my eyes, so much did it move me. Again I am amazed by the talents of this man and his band. D is truly the biggest soul star of the last 20 years!!
Angie Stone was destined to be out in front!! You can hear her soulful voice so clearly and brilliantly in the background mix here. Of course it helps that she had a hand in writing this album and helped craft that sound herself. Love this funky liquid slow jam version of the song as well. :)
I mean this song was already a modern day masterpiece as it but what D did is BRILLIANT. It's so subtle but the band is jammin and Angie 'n' em is SLAYIN the background. The last minute of this performance gave me sooo much LIFE...those ad-libs were INCREDIBLE! D was blending seamlessly with the ladies...it's just soooo good I gotta watch it again! Thanks sooo much for posting
this is the d.c. performance, yesssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had several of the cuts, but youtube pulled them -- thanks for upping "lady" again! this is the ultimate version, no competition.
