His backing group looked like a bunch of cowboys to me.. :lol:

Try finding/playing :- "Dont close your eyes" Can't recall who did the original though. :roll:

Think it was Keith something?

On a more serious note you can feel the emotion in the room.

Moving indeed

Hmmm The actual record was much better, far less "flowery" and faster if my memory is correct..

Thanks for the link though and the mans surname.
