The most underrated songwriter yhe UK has ever produced. Probably the best though in the modern day. His words mean something to everyone and are so true to life and accompanied by the brilliant music he writes.

Why always people say "underrated" about succesful artists? I mean,you and a lot of individuals are listening to him and his music decades after this and other performances and videos,and his recordings are still on stores,and he was playing at Jimmy Fallon's the other day,and you dare to call him underrated? C'mon,be less childish and a little More serious about other person's carreers. Not only #1s and tops mean success... The simple act of you and i enjoy his music,becomes him everything but underrated,i hate that word,i wrote it three times in this post of yours.

I am a refugee from war torn Laos, came to US, Texas country hick town, caught Joe’s music randomly and his music has defined coming of age for me learning to speak English in the 80s and 90s. He integrated instruments and his haunting vocal that only worldly travelers could appreciate with the Latin percussions, brasses, and arrangements.

I know the Country of Laos, my friend. I saw this Rockpalast live on TV back then. I lived in the GDR, East Germany. Must have been 40 Years ago. Still a fan.

I remember reading the liner notes of his live album back in maybe 85 talking about how a young lady had burst into tears at the climax of that song. I just did too..amazing.

If you had to listen to 1 song by Joe..it has to be this one. Perfect balance of intensity and beauty..and alot of soul.

I can never listen to just one song by Joe.

Wow! He totally owns this performance. It's beautiful, lyrical and moving. What a star.

Joe Jackson! This man is eternal! Such a brilliant artist... Incredible songwriter & musician, among the top of 20th century.

We just witnessed a man baring his soul, what a performance, what a talent.

You can see how personal and meaningful this song is to Jackson and how much it drains him to perform it. That's the soul of an artist.

Remember seeing this concert live on TV….saw him for the first time and especially this song has “haunted” me ever since….in a GOOD way…..😎👍

Hearing this song for the fifteen time today... I was in the virtual world of Second Life this morning, when one of the musicians covered this... First time to hear it I am enthralled.... and can't get enough Thank you for placing this choice selection on KZread I am blessed, today !!

Der Song begleitet mich seit über 35 vielleicht 40 Jahren und ist so oft schon ein Trost oder ein Kraftspender gewesen. Egal ob es ein Stück der schwulen Community ist, oder sonstwas. Sexuelle Orientierung sollte heutzutage eh keine Rolle mehr spielen. Das LIED an sich ist einfach ein totaler Hammer, genau wie "Real man".

His voice breaks me!!!I love you Joe and have done for 32 years❤...since I was 18.

Joe just threw himself into this one! Amazing!

Beautiful songwriting... The chord progression is breathtaking!

That's as near to artistic perfection as you can get! Performance of a legend!

What a Talent-simply Classic

Didnt know Thom Yorke is a big fan of JJ, I think he was inspired by this song to write No Surprises (OK Computer) 15 years later

Magnificent! Someone Important to me called me beautiful. This lovely song takes me there. Thanks!!!

Early Happy Birthday - Joe Jackson!! Beautiful, Romantic Song!! U r not the only one. DJ's - Tell Them 2 play us 'A Slow Song' 🕺🏻 💃🏻

5 of the best concerts I ever saw and none of them were the same

Reminds me of when I lived in The Hague in the Netherlands from 1981 to 1993. It was a good time. This album was big when I first got there. Still love it - even if I'm only a couple of years younger than Joe Jackson.

I saw him I concert in Melbourne he was absolutely brilliant

Timeless song! Awesome performance.

Damn..damn...what a guy.....incredible.....I was Blessed to have started listen to 30 years ago.

I was a teen back in the 80s and nobody understood why I kept listening to JJ songs.

Saw him last night in Carre Amsterdam. Beautiful night and still as good as this one.

Wonderful song... love song for all. Big Joe I love you

Brilliant.My favorite J.J.period.

Thanks Joe...close to tears

Simply Amazing

Genius

Great, thanks. To me one of the best love-songs ever

Damals Gänsehaut und heute noch immer. One of the best.If you love Joe Jackson, this is the song. The performance, the rockpalast was the beginning.Graham Maby ist the one i ever want to groove with. Best Bassplayer to me.

I’ve so enjoyed listening to you over the years… a good friend. Thank you.❤️

I love this so much

Joe left it all out on the stage with this performance!

I like to emitate and sing on the piano ,songs of Joe Jackson

What a great and deep song❣️

oh man,what emotion

One of the best Performances i ever seen... Love him since 35 years

Joe has a superb band, Graham on bassgitar is one of the best and the drums are great. People like to play with him. Listening to them is still worth it.

He had so much to create past this night.

I COMPLETELY LOVE JOE JACKSON ❤️👍👍👍👍👍

never paid him much mind, I knew he was a good songwriter,I had Body and Soul on vinyl, but it didn't really move me the One time I played it. So, Steppin' Out was really the only thing I could say i was familar with...Until last week, i found "Look Sharp" and "Night and Day" on used CD's ($3 each at the goodwill). Put on Look Sharp when I got home and was immeditely happily surprised by the driving Guitar and Bass of "One More Time" and it only got better from there. I've been playing those records everyday, multiple times and can't get enough.

This is one of the most fantastic songs i know. Thank you Joe.

Saw joe and the band twice in concert…..one show they play the Blaze of Glory album in it’s entirety…..had all his albums….

LYRICS Music has charms they say But in some people's hands It becomes a savage beast Can't they control it Why don't they hold it back You see my friend and me Don't have an easy day And at night we dance not fight We need the energy If not the sympathy But I'm brutalized by bass And terrorized by treble I'm open to change my mood but I always get caught in the middle And I get tired of DJ's Why's it always what he plays I'm gonna push right through I'm gonna tell him to, tell him to Play us, play us a slow song Play us a slow song Play us a slow song Play us a slow song It's late, I'm winding down Am I the only one To want a strong and silent sound To pick me up and undress me Lay me down and caress me I feel you touch my hand And whisper in my ear Ask me how I'm feeling now And I want to get near you But I can't even hear you But this is a fine romance If we have to be so demanding We need just one more dance to Leave here with an understanding And I get tired of DJ's Why's it always what he plays I'm gonna push right through I'm gonna tell him too, tell him to Play us, play us a slow song Play us a slow song Play us a slow song Play us a slow song I get tired of DJ's Why's it always what he plays I'm gonna push right through I'm gonna tell him too, tell him to Play us, play, play, play Play us a, play us, play us Play us a slow song Play us a slow song Play us a slow song Play us a slow song Songwriters: Joe Jackson

extraordinaire / sublime

WOW!!

I love this song...and this version is superb...thanks for posting

Remember buying Look sharp. Loved that Guy ever since..

Thank you, brillant concert!

Yes, still good as he was in Portsmouth - nice video, thanks.

Please tour Australia again...after this corona stuff is done with

Soooo very underrated but still a great performer!!!!

What an awesome performance.

If anyone voted this song as bad they are just jealous of Joe's skills what a star we love you Joe

What a song. Saw him live, a long time ago.

Such a talented composer, arranger, performer, musician, & lyricist; yet, so under appreciated, unconventional, alternative, & novel JUST FOR BEING a bit CLASSICAL & a bit retro. /// /// Okay, his music does not exude a strong dance beat, & super sexy music videos.

He blow's me away ❤️

Amazing and powerful performance

For a thinly built person he has more energy than anybody!

Wow, just wow ♥️

Just amazing 👏 👏👏👏👏

yeah dig deep joe.

Favolosa...

It's for my mechanic an artist in things most people can't .this one's for you

succinctly written

Body and soul

Great song. Personally, I like the live version with the horn riff in the middle.. it's bad@$$!! But every version is stellar.

That is sincerity folks

❤️

Wow ☆☆☆☆☆

The key changes are unlike anything else.

I’m taken back to the nineties I’m that girl now

Intense...

I agree with joe play more slow songs and not the rubbish of today whats gone wrong with the world

This album is where my wife and I intersect. Our history. Joe Jackson. With us.

IS IT A 320 OR A 420 SONG

who are those goofy 9?
