Stevie did a fantastic vocal job with the young lady in the row of veteran female vocalist. Got to have a lung and half of air to keep in there. Thank you Amanda for openly and honestly telling of all the performer play lists. I have searched all day for your honest words. Friend of Stevie - Bruce W. Diggs PS I really wanted to know the Saxophonist that played in Hall and Oates tunes. His Saxello was impressive.
