The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 505

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

I am really quite grateful that there have been many western songs that have resonated with G.O to the point where he has revisited them on several occasions, letting us hear them more than once. In the early part of his career there were many songs from the Eric Benét songbook that captured G.O’s attention.

I think his 8 December 2009 T-Store Live Session performance rises above the rest. I revisit it today as a sort of throwback Thursday moment remembering the poise, elegance and exquisite talent of this astonishing young man.

Of the fourteen tracks on Benét’s album, four resonated strongly with our beautiful main vocal man and frankly, I cannot choose a favorite of those four because all are equally amazing. In 2012, however, G.O gave some very special love and attention to Cracks of My Broken Heart.

Well….shame on me!!!! Thankfully, friend of the blog, Nan, jogged my rusty memory about this one ~ G.O’s heartfelt rendition of Eric Benét’s Still With You, a slice of which he gave us in Episode of 7 of Sesame Player. Perhaps the most embarrassing part of me failing to remember this one is that I actually uploaded the clip to my You Tube channel.
