Day 28: A song by an artist whose voice you love

"Daylight & Darkness" - (1978)

I admit it: I'm a sucker for falsetto. , , , , sometimes even frickin' for christ's sake - when these guys go up high into their head voices, I'm right there with them. Smokey, of course, is their king. And when he's singing such a beautiful, bittersweet song as this one, there's just no stopping him.

🎧 A fragment of "Be Thankful for What You've Got" (1974) has been playing on and off in my head for days.

You may not have (insert desirable, flashy thing) but "Just remember brothers and sisters, you can still stand tall!"

Remembered the song from HS and like many, thought recorded it. Nope. did. No official 1974 version @ YT, but covered it 15 years later (1991).

▢️ This is their 2012 version. A proper tribute. youtu.be/um06u9Zg8ww
