    Listening to this made me think about how in the 70’s & early 80’s Steven Perry was exactly what Chris Cornell was to Rock ‘N Roll in the 90’s & beyond. They both were & will always be seen as 2 of the most gifted singers of all time & mastered their craft impeccably! What a tragedy that one was silenced by suicide & the other just stopped singing. 😢

    LYRICS
    Lookin' 'round for a feelin'
    I love the rhythm and blues
    The place was rockin' and reelin'
    I thought I'd shake me loose
    The band was pumpin' Motown
    Lord how they could play
    The girls a-started singing
    Rock the night away
    By the midnight hour
    They could've raised the dead
    They were takin' it higher
    Higher, higher, higher, ringin' in my head
    Lay it down, lay it down
    Lay it down, lay it down
    Whiskey, wine and women
    They get me though the night
    I ain't lookin' for trouble
    I ain't lookin' to fight
    A little vertical persuasion
    Would do me right
    What I'm really needin'
    Ah, double shot tonight.
    By the midnight hour
    We were on our way
    She was takin' it higher
    Higher, higher, higher, then I heard say
    By the midnight hour
    They could've raised the dead
    They were takin' it higher
    Higher, higher, higher, ringin' in my head
    Lay it down, lay it down
    Lay it down, lay it down

    You can tell they have some 'vocal help' with the background vocals being pre-recorded. At 3:06, Neal sings Lay It Down when he's not supposed to and nothing is heard! Neal and Jon laugh about it afterward! Of course, everything that Steve sings is live! Even when he is obviously tired and probably jetlaged he still sounds perfect!!
