When I'm With You

This power ballad by Canadian Band Sheriff has been on my playlist for the past few weeks. Originally released in 1983 and then re-released in 1989, it reached #1 in the US charts. I remembered hearing it on the radio on the music chart show and liking it instantly. This is just such a sentimental and emotionally-charged song with very powerful vocals.

Interestingly, Freddy Curci, the lead singer's amazing high vocal at the end of the song is being listed in the Guiness Book of Records for holding the longest note in a song. It just feels like heaven whenever he hits the end of the song with that angelic vocal that seems to go on for eternity. Take a listen here.
