I've loved Wishing Well since 88, but discovered this song in recent years and love it even more. The live performance in Europe is the best . He has amazing stage presence and a great voice.

Well I first heard it on the radio a few years ago and it grabbed me immediately. I thought it was Stevie Wonder from the vocals but knew it wasn't him of course, I have a few albums of his to know that so I learned through Shazaam it was Terence and went to Youtube right away and this was my first encounter with the song/performance and it grabbed me even more!

LOVE the dancing and look....and you probably understand why I'm being like that

I knowwwwwwwwww <3 <3 <3 that's why I got so excited over it upon discovering it. It felt like watching Heartbreak Hotel on the Bad tour or Dirty Diana or even a J5 performance *faints* but he also has his own distinctive sound despite also being influenced by the likes of him, Stevie and James Brown which I also see and hear.

Terence was charismatic, gorgeous and had talent. I have never understood why his career died stateside after his debut cd. He really fit perfectly between prince and MJ

Ohhhhh the visual

Maybe he should have shut up about the Beatles

yup.. that's what killed it for him

Never better yourself than The Beatles

what did he say? really his career went down because of that remark?

TTD implied in an interview once that Michael Jackson or his people (Frank Dileo I guess) talked to CBS Records (now Sony) and requested that they not promote his 2nd album. Years later, after the name change to Sananda, he said that when CBS was bought out by Sony, all of the people that signed him were fired. The new staff wasn't on his side and wouldn't promote his records, but wouldn't let him out of his contract.

All TTD said about The Beatles was that his debut album was better than Sgt. Pepper.

Do you think TTD was telling the truth re MJ and Frank?

I have no idea if he was telling the truth, but nothing surprises me about MJ anymore. (Thought I knew a lot about him before he sadly passed away). At the same time, his latter description of what happened after Sony bought out CBS sounds more likely. Michael had no problem selling albums back in 1988-89 when Neither Fish Nor Flesh came out.

Either way, TTD's second album died pretty quick. The comment about Sgt Pepper was tongue in cheek but that never came thru in the interview. TTD/Sananda is one of my musical angels and will always love his music...not to mention one of the best singers to ever be recorded. I got to see him live around 1995 and it was one of the best shows I'd ever been to.

I wonder if TTD is actually as to think that non-promotion is the reason for the failure of his second album.

It was uncommercial and unconventional. It was doomed from the start.

But even if the 2nd album wasn't commercial, it's odd that his career tanked so badly. I mean, that wasn't the norm back then, right?

It was too unconventional. He didn't have one hard hitter like Wishing Well on it.

Eh, i adore his albums. And i'm kind of glad he didn't have lots & lots of hits. He got a lot of freedom on his records to what he wants. No matter how weird or essentric
