I wonder how many other William Young fans were already familiar with the Jim Morrison and José Feliciano versions of Light My Fire, yet have found themselves spellbound by Will's recorded and live versions?
The guitar introduction and accompaniment is simple yet hypnotic, the backing equally uncomplicated: a perfect foil to the the rise and fall of volume and register in Will's unique voice.Sometimes he seems to plead with his listeners; at others he explodes into "soul mode".His poweful performance of this song won him many fans during Pop Idol: the faithful, and there are millions of them,can't wait for the CD to hit the shops, especially with two great tracks,much stronger than "Anything is Possible" on the B side.Amazing value!!
I personally feel that "Sweetest Feeling" is even more commercial, but am content to watch "Light My Fire" shoot to number one in the charts, where it deserves to be.William Young has been a phenominal success so far and this CD will confirm his status as a force to be reckoned with.
