Hearing this song … Hearing this song as a kid, playing his hits record over and over again almost brings sadness. Back then there was no stress in my life and a lived the music. How the world has changed.. Rock on Burton!
About ten years ago … About ten years ago, I was driving late one night from Saint John to Moncton. This song came on the radio, and it almost a religious experience. Sing it, Burt!
In videos yes they … In videos yes they lip sync but on tv not all lip sync. Usually it’s the people who are dancing full out who lip sync on tv. But I personally know people who have sung on t.v.& don’t or know people who have been to live tapings who have seen people who don’t.
I’m 45 and I heard … I’m 45 and I heard this song first in the early 70’s….had a alot of personal family stuff going on……this song, and Burton being a Canadian helped me through so much………….this song makes me happy and brings tears to my eyes………thank you BC for writing a tune that allows me to remember somebody so special in my life.
I wouldn’t care if … I wouldn’t care if he were lip-synching, I know the reasons for it… But I don’t think this is lip-synched. It doesn’t sound like the original track. Burton is just a very consistent vocalist… and I think that kind of thing always invites the lip-synching comments. People who sing as amazing as Burton does are able to re-create their studio vocals in a live setting without much effort.
Pffft it’s taped … Pffft it’s taped for tv/video of course it’s lip synced you moron!! I have a news flash for you when singers and bands make music videos they don’t actually sing– they all lip sync while performing for the camera; It’s showmanship and part of being in the biz. Too many people make a big deal out of this and there is no reason.. as long as it’s his music. He sings and plays amazing live unlike half of today’s artists who rely on the studio to make them sound good. Jeez man! Hugh u suck!
Does it matter if … Does it matter if its lip sync or playing the instrument? Jeez! That was done loads od times in the 70’s as that was a norm, who cares if he is lip syncin’? Still him, still his music, still his song, get over that lip syncing garbage! SHEEEEESH!
Grew up with top 40 … Grew up with top 40 AM in 60s/70s, Burton still my favorite male vocalist of all time-for no other reason, just like the way the guy sings.
Great song. I grew … Great song. I grew up listening to Burton. Although “I’m Scared” of his lip syncing (see 3:28) and faking the piano, I’ll forgive him in the spirit of “religion”!
