Jeffrey Gaines- In Your Eyes- Dallas 1992
With Peter Gabriel‘s superb So album marking an anniversary, it brings to mind this bold cover version of one of Gabriel’s most-loved songs. Clearly, young Jeffrey Gaines was already reinterpreting “In Your Eyes” and mesmerizing audiences with it as early as Fall 1992, which this live acoustic performance on my Dallas/ Ft.Worth radio show reveals, but it would be nine more years before artist-oriented manager/ music executive Danny Goldberg would get it into the mainstream. –Redbeard
