That's a beautiful performance of a beautiful song. I wonder when was the last time he performed it. neutral Seems like nowadays the oldest song in Sananda's set list is O Divina.

i have only listened to hardline which i liked. What other albums would darby/sandana fans think are great? Seems like a very talented and somewhat forgotten artist to me.

I think Vibrator is an awesome album. I love just about every song on it.

Nice clips. I always liked the live version of Let Her Down Easy. Seemed to have an extra 'something' that didn't quite come across on record, especially with the bass player's falsetto at the end.

The performance of his that I was really blown away by on YouTube was this version of If You Let Me Stay from 1995. (And I have to admit that he's looking in pretty good shape in it, too.batting eyes)

confused.

dont know which studio i like. the only difference i can remember is one doesn't have the whole " Her daughter is 5 and her grandfather adores her more each day" something like that. I dont LIKE THAT version. what are the differences between that and the other one? is one a album mix and the other a single mix?

ALSO a few years ago i found a mp3 of him singing IF I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU i lost that. does anyone know where that came from?

ALSO ALSO is anyone else hearing similarities between CEE LOs "F*CK YOU" and TTDs "RIGHT THING WRONG WAY"? pretty cool

Sananda annoys me to no end and I can't say exactly why, but there's no denying dude has really got talent. hmmm I'm going to have to get over whatever it is that's turning me off about him and check out more of his work.

I miss *this* Terrence and I loathe the enablers in his inner circle that lead him to think he still creating on this same level.

I can see why a lot of people might consider him annoying, especially if you watch some of his TV interviews and performances. He's just cheeky and is often subtly mocking his interviewers and audiences. Maybe that's the reason why I identified so strongly with him as a teenager. lol

Ahh, I remember watching this as it was airing back in the day. Good times. And excellent version! It gave me a new appreciation for the song at the time.

Now, all I need is to hear him do "It's Been Said" live, and I'm all set.

Yep, the song is called IF I FELL, which is a Beatles song and he sang it unplugged during a German Radioshow in 2001 (together with more songs of his own, also unplugged).

Man, his vocals are sweet, smoky and flawless. Shame such talent gets no love these days. This was his best album IMO.

I bought a bunch of his albums in one shot a few years back, and this turned out to be my favorite song. Thanks for posting this Leno clip.

This performance is outstanding. You could see that James Brown was definitely one of his influences, no question. Terrence always had that church/gospel vibe in his vocals. Just watcing Terrence perform this back in the day, brings to mind that they'll never be another Jimi, Prince, MJ or Terrence, that could do it they way they did.
