I have tried to find live versions when I can to embellish my reasons.

Yes he is primarily a Reggae artist and it is instantly recognisable but this live version is absolutely magnetic:


A stunning voice backed by a stunning live band. Her voice is sublime.


I do apologise about the silly twat including in the ads at the at the start of the vid. Not strictly a ballad but it has such a sweet, smoky centre that I love and every single musician is ON it:


The finest Soul track ever put down.


I know this has a huge sample but So what? It is magisterial:


Not all strictly ballads but all worthy.
