We really need to bring the motown sound back behind the white house, or at least any quality music! I’m beggin! lol
O Seal é realmente especial. Suas músicas marcaram época e continuam nos inspirando com suas melodias cheias de charme e leveza. Seu show em Brasilia, Brasil, foi maravilhoso e superou as expectativas. Parabéns, Seal!
Thanks to my niece Hannah Jeffrey I’ve hear Seal for the first time. Indeed, we are one of God’s secret, and yes, we belong to someone in life hopefully the right one. Enjoyed greatly, beautiful song.
Cool, “Missed it by that much” (Maxwell Smart). Will be in DC on the 28th and touring the White House March 1st…can the band camp out in dc til then? Hahaha! Looking forward to seeing the show on PBS after we get back from DC. Looks like a wonderful lineup of talent. Have fun!
Peace, Janet
I wish I could see this performance, but I have class. I have his entire collection of work, and just re-ordered Soul and his Best Of double disc album because I gave a DJ my copies and they were never returned. I know his will be performance will be immaculate.
Also he should have been in the white house a long time ago performing A Change Is Going To Come during Obama’s campaign!
I disagree. I rememer seeing him perform it on Oprah. Seal is very talented but I dont like his cover of Sam Cooke’s Change Gonna Come.
Seal, I first discovered your music in 1990-91, a friend of mind from England turned me on and I knew from that moment you would be on top. There;s is only a few that make my hair stand on end and sweep emotion from head to toe in one lyric. Song artist Sade does as well. Will you ever join her for one session? It would probably knock me right out…… love you love you love you. cant say it enough….. love it…… OMG you do Hendrix …. how outstanding is that!
OMG. It feels like I wrote this note. It’s exactly how I knew about Seal and exactly how I feel
