You two are cracking me up. I was kind of obsessed with this version for a long time and listened to it quite often when alone in the car. Both the "tell her now" and the 5:44 wail still choke me up. I used to actually anticipate both those moments in the song. Hee- dork.
I do miss seeing that much emotion in Stevie. Drugs or no drugs, it could not be possible to sing the same songs over and over and bring forth such unrestrained expressiveness. Frankly, I can't imagine how she does it after all these years. But back in the day, she meant that **** when she was singing it.
