@HudsonCarnahan, you can't compare the 3. They all had unique voices that could not be found or compared to any other artist. They were all amazing in their time
At 58 years young asI sit here and listen to Steven Ray Perry, again , his vobclllpl vocals give me goosebumps ! His vocals are Orgasmic. I sit here at my age listening to him before and after and I still cry tears of joy . First off , I have to suck in my air and then just let it all out and I will never, ever have his " The Voice" .
Tap on one of uploads describing his reach in this song and others,.. & js, did u hear " Little Girl" from the more progressive rock album done in japan
The guy is an alien!! And the hardest part of this song is towards the end. thats also where logic will tell you that he should already be tired. The best male Vocalist that ever lived!! I dont think thats even arguable.
Has anyone else even attempted this?!?!? - HOLY SH*T!! - this song is crazy hard and Steve makes it look effortless. The man was channeling something supernatural singing this. There's a reason Steve sang this particular song but for a couple times at the start of the Escape tour....Damn!
Pressed in an interview Steve said this was horrible song. He hated it. But, he sings it so well. He puts everything in every song...even those he hates.
So so good, Steve, charismatic, sexy with that voice, simply unmatched. I also like that he always goes back to the (fantastic) drummer. The whole band in that line-up was amazing, it's a shame it broke up.
Listening to this made me think about how in the 70’s & early 80’s Steven Perry was exactly what Chris Cornell was to Rock ‘N Roll in the 90’s & beyond. They both were & will always be seen as 2 of the most gifted singers of all time & mastered their craft impeccably! What a tragedy that one was silenced by suicide & the other just stopped singing. 😢
@@nnmrtin8426 They're supposed to go into the chorus there; that's why they go to their microphones but then take a step back and start smiling and talking to each other. They go into the chorus right after Steve's improvised solo instead.
LYRICS Lookin' 'round for a feelin' I love the rhythm and blues The place was rockin' and reelin' I thought I'd shake me loose The band was pumpin' Motown Lord how they could play The girls a-started singing Rock the night away By the midnight hour They could've raised the dead They were takin' it higher Higher, higher, higher, ringin' in my head Lay it down, lay it down Lay it down, lay it down Whiskey, wine and women They get me though the night I ain't lookin' for trouble I ain't lookin' to fight A little vertical persuasion Would do me right What I'm really needin' Ah, double shot tonight. By the midnight hour We were on our way She was takin' it higher Higher, higher, higher, then I heard say By the midnight hour They could've raised the dead They were takin' it higher Higher, higher, higher, ringin' in my head Lay it down, lay it down Lay it down, lay it down
This song has a serious AC/DC vibe to it. A bit like "You Shook Me All Night Long" in sound and lyrical content (the sleaze, if you will), and it rocks just as hard, if not harder. 🎤🎸🎵🎶
They also toured with them just a couple years before during the Bon Scott era which Steve said prompted them to turn their game up This song has the bones of Shot Down in flames
You can tell they have some 'vocal help' with the background vocals being pre-recorded. At 3:06, Neal sings Lay It Down when he's not supposed to and nothing is heard! Neal and Jon laugh about it afterward! Of course, everything that Steve sings is live! Even when he is obviously tired and probably jetlaged he still sounds perfect!!
I don't think that's what happened. What it looks like to me is Perry improvised some vocal lines instead of going to the chorus and Schon and Cain wasn't expecting it. They were going to the chorus but backed off when they heard Perry improvising.Always follow the singer!
@@RiffMusic1970 Steve came in at the right time to do a little vocal riff like the album, but Jon and Neal were following eachother thinking they were just going to cut in at that part
Duper Super You’re right! It looks like there was a little confusion though. Maybe Schon forgot about the vocal riff for a second and was going straight to the chorus. It sure looks like he wanted to sing on that part and backed off.
