when you listen to rufus struggle like a bitch to sing these notes with any form of melodic showmanship, you really begin to understand how brilliant of a singer, actress, dancer, and all around performer she was. Poor Rufus can barely get the words or notes out, that he struggles to try to enjoy himself somewhat, forget about trying to sell the number. on the other hand is rather pleasant eye candy.
Why do people try to recreate what is already done at it best by the original? At least do something differently to make it your own? Write some new lyrics? Sorry, his breathing tech isn’t very good. I’m not impressed. Lol!
