Sideshow Blue Magic Cover

A rather whimsical paean to the plight of the lovelorn, a la Ringling Brothers, complete with the voice of a barker in the Blue Magic original version (recreated here for dramatic effect). It is true though that, all too often, love is indeed a circus, and each of us has been the clown at one time or another. Just watch out for the bearded lady..

THATS CRAZY HOW GOOD THAT SOUNDS

[@elvidinck]

I really enjoyed the uniqueness of a guy singing an old 70's R&B song with an acoustic guitar in a Bread style...you are quite talented to pull that off my friend. I think this is great! Two thumbs up!

[@robertkrogman2776]

Love this one from 74! Great acoustic take on the lovelorn ballad! :-)

[@cubyme1]

I've been watching some of your video's and I must say you are a well seasoned multi-talented musician. I was a full time musician back in the 70's and 80's. I played bass and did lead and back up vocals. Listening to your video's brings back a lot of great memories. Keep up the great work!

AWSOME JOB. FULLY ENJOYED THE SONG

[@lennieblue]

Nice!

[@bookmistress4ever]

Holy cow! That was smooth and awesome and I'm gonna have to drag out my thesaurus again for this one. I'm SO glad you finally did this one. As you know, I've been listening to it for awhile now and I could just picture your harmonies doing it justice. I tried to sing it but my vocal range can't get that high (not to mention that I suck, but regardless). Let's just say it was an amazing performance of an amazing song and leave it at that. 5 star indeed!

[@CARLOSVENDAS100]
