Of course, I have always loved this song.... My main memory attached to it is this:
Late summer '97. I was getting ready for work with the tee-vee on VH1. I was ironing my shirt. Crap video, crap video, crap video, commercial, commericial- flip the channel.... Come back to the channel. At that instant the piano downbeat happened on a darkened screen.....
I FREAKED!!! I howled at the top of my lungs and fell to my knees in front of the set entranced for the next four + minutes....
Tears and tears and MORE tears (those kind that just run out of your wide open eyes with your mouth agape) were streaming down my face when she started in with the "give me just a chance...."
WOW - WOW - WOW!!! Whatta performance.... I'm really surprised she didn't lose it....
