In my opinion, this song, especially the end of it, accomplishes the same type of "thing" that Eric Clapton accomplished with Layla. It's hard to put it into words, but it just has this power and quality to it that doesn't happen too often.

And I know people mostly talk about the version from the Dance which is epic, no doubt about it. But I don't think anything compares to the original vocal. The little growl in her voice when she goes "from the SOUND" at the end.

Silver Springs is probably Stevie's greatest creation? You've heard Sara and Gypsy, right?

The Dance version of Silver Springs is really good, but the backup singers ruined the chorus, way too many voices singing in that performance.
