Out. Of. Control. He has sung backgrounds for just about everyone. He has the ability to blend perfectly for backgrounds but he has so much character that he's also a phenomenal lead. How he's managed to hang on to his range at his age is just astounding. He would have been about 60 by this point. He's pacing himself a bit but no man should be able to hit those notes at his age. That voice defies gravity.

Didn't think Patti's version could be topped, but I just love this rendition! Wow Mr Perry has a wonderful voice!

Not only does he have an incredible voice, but his “ear” is outrageous!!! Not many vocalists sing chromatically, and that last note…..are you kidding me???! Simply beautiful!!

The Master put a hurting on this song. Can listen to it again and again. What makes it extra sweet is that his wife is singing background. I love it! Sing Phil and Lil!!!!!!

That VOICE! Thank you for all the memories Mr. Perry...and those background singers? The HARMONY...UNREAL!!!

Quite possibly the greatest singer on EARTH....

It's said that we are all born with a purpose in life. I believe that Phil Perry's purpose was to do just what he did on that stage and continues to do. From the days with the Montclairs to the present, the one thing that hasn't aged is his voice. Truly one of premier singers in history

I took my daughter to one of the smooth cruise concerts on her 18th birthday and Phil sang happy birthday to her! On stage too! The child was laughing and crying at the same time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂 she’ll never ever forget that 😊❤

Been a big Phil Perry fan for many, many years. The guy's simply brilliant. If you can't feel the music while listening to him sing, you don't have a pulse.

I love this man, he can sing to me anyday!!!!

Phil Perry can sing anything for me, I adore him. Would love to catch a show live.

No words at all..just a genius. Love this man.

I have been playing this over and over …...2018......WOW im floored.....

UNSUNG!! Thank you for sharing this, the man,s talent is out of their stratosphere!! Immensely understated and he should have been much more recognized. Just naturally GIFTED AND BLESSED 💖❤.

Y'all see that cool strut Phil Perry did before he broke the song down. I❤ his music he can really really sing. So Blessed and Voice that's out of this world. He can take any song bring it out better. Much 🙏🏾and ❤Mr. Phil Perry.

Love Phil Perry!! This is so beautiful!!!! Such a talented and truly gifted singer and performer 💕

He could sing the ABCs and still sound good. lol

Phil Perry..🎶⚡⚘ .takes me away💯🌬💙

It's AMAZING how "live" and purely unrehearsed this really is. At 5:54 and again @ 6:25 the Background singers are ready to jump back in but Phil holds them off with a subtle hand gesture while he finishes what he came there to do lol. Everybody just knows what to do and to follow his lead. True artistry.

I have every single song of Phil perry. I saw him on a TV show. Ever since then he's been my number one. The brothers falsetto is off the chart

I am now a Phil Perry fan. Love his voice, his band and his music.

OH Boy!!! This guy is incredible!! Mr. Perry's voice is clear as a whistle! He put a lot of these singers to bed, especially today's group of singers. The ladies singing background have beautiful harmony. The Top Gun!

Phil Perry,The man is a Vocal Master,His Vocal Ranges is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! I LOVE YOU MR PERRY!!!

Phil has always, always been super raw. He sings, he sang whatever, Phil has it but he's always had it. From the Montclairs to by himself his voice is impeccable, period, nuff said!

Dang Phil didn't take just take em to church he took em to a revival! He hit notes so strong he scared himself! 😮 Phil-nominal!

Phil perry is the man. His voice timeless and unsung. His voice speak to the soul.

What the foot!!!!!! This is sooooooo cold!!! Beautifully orchestrated!!!!

mr.perry is just a spirit of his own his riffs remind me of my dad and uncles harmonizing on a song and when he did just my imagination my uncle said alright mr.perry you on it man you on it man!!! anytime you can come ro Detroit and do your WHOLE ACT WITHOUT BACKGROUND SINGERS AND WHISTLE! MY vote over and over.

OMG!!!!! words can not even express this man's singing ability....Love You Phil so much...

Sang Phil babyyyy! This version is given me life hunty!!!!!

Truly can feel the Music Notes running up my Spine.... Truly Amazing

Oh your beautiful voice takes me to another level.Thank you.Perry 😊

you can really judge the quality of a singer oftentimes by the reactions of his own musicians. Zoom in and watch his background singers individually while he's doing his solo thing near the end and you'll see what i mean😉

True that. When they shake their heads in amazement, wow. I've seen Whitney's band or background singers do it too. It don't matter about the rehearsal because when the artist get out in front of that audience, they're feeding off of each other's energy, and the artist just does some amazing, surprising things that astound all the listeners, like was exhibited here. He's amazing.

I love the artists you named, Mr. Hargrove, but in reality, Phil was inspired by them ALL! The way he handles EACH note, is beyond comparison. He spent soooo much time on how he wanted to express every phrase, and in reality, some instances happened on the spot! Man, In reality, he's one of my my teachers, Not only is he a vocalist, he's an accomplished keyboardists! This is me, former lead singer for Polydor recording band Zoom. Produced by James Gadson, the song, "Love Seasons". I sang the first tenor AND the baritone voice. It came from listening to artists like Phil Perry! Thanks Mr. Cohen For Sharing!!!

This man can sing Happy Birthday and it would blow your mind! ❤

The phase "Words cannot describe" fits when applied to his singing ability. I'll try some - Extraordinary, Beautiful, Exquisite, Magnificent. Phil "sangin" his ...... off! Background singers sound great, also. I listen to some of his cd s over and over at home (as many of us do). Love the way he changes octaves and goes off into solo, I guess it"s called, vamping on a lot of his recordings. This performance here takes your breath away. He expresses the emotion of this song so beautifully. You caught something special with this video. He probably sounds this way in rehearsal all time.

Sing it Phil. over and over again until you cannot go no more, love it............

We lost a lot of our Famous Bareratones 😔 sorry if I spelled it wrong My point is Perry has taken the place of about 5 of them TEDDY.LEVERT BARRY W. I HAVE MUCH 💕 LOVE FOR YOU 😍 PERRY KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO FOR ME THAT WONDER FULL SOUNDS THANK YOU 🥰

OMG Grandad still has his rap going strong----The old Player has still got my ear!!!

......and that was/is the incomparable Mr. Phil Perry....❤

Iv loved this mans passionate voice since early 90s. never had the Honor of seeing him live. Still Praying i do get to some day. What Glorious Passion.
