Jeffrey Gaines- In Your Eyes- Dallas 1992

With Peter Gabriel’s superb So album marking a fortieth anniversary next week, 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 Q102 Dallas/Ft.Worth radio show reveals. But it would be nine more years before artist-oriented manager/music executive Danny Goldberg would get Gaines’ version into the mainstream. –Redbeard
