The first time I heard Frank Seamans sing with Legacy Five, I was satisfied, but not necessarily blown away. After a few projects with them, I reserved myself to the fact that, while a more-than-able tenor singer, he wouldn't necessarily be one of my favorites, and would be just another tenor on the list.
Then I saw this clip.....
I rescind all previous thoughts. This is downright AWESOME!! Frank never strays out of his comfort zone, yet still knocks it out of the park. Notice how he shows some restraint and doesn't go too showy on the second verse, saving the sky-high notes until the very end, giving it a most-appropriate climax. He also gives his phrasing just enough "free-style" ad-libbing to give it a truly soulful sound without oversinging his part. A truly impressive performance.
In closing, all I have to say is....Kirk who???
