I sure think so. Still sounds awesome, the way it escalates in intensity.

Lovely song. But what is 'the best'...or 'the worse'...who cares?

Too nasally to be his best.

SEE : "Take It So Hard", Wicked As It Seems" or even "Run Rudolph Run' as better examples...

I agree its is one of his best...But i think Connection is a little bit better...

It's not his best. It would be kind of embarassing if it were, given the superiority of the version with Mick on vocals. Several songs are better.

he does have a nasally style. its in 'Before They Make Me Run' too..

'Sure The One You Need' is also very nasal..

YGTS is his best song.

Like his vox better in Can't Be Seen and Slipping Away. His vox were very good in 1989.

His vocals on Silver, Happy, Coming Down Again, and Before They Make Me Run are great. His voice is earnest with a good measure of vulnerability. Perfect Keith. I prefer these to the later ones where he sang in a lower register.

Quite possibly his best ever song.

That's obviously a 2011 Mick vocal.
Get with it guys.

Can't you be serious for once?

I'll add the final verse of 'Slipping away' to that list. And the 'we're ooooooooooooooooooooooh-pen 24 hours baby' line about 4:15 into Thru & Thru.

'Make No Mistake'. Now that's soul.

always and forever. rock'n'roll is a serious matter and demands a sober and somber attitude and disposition.

YES

Slipping Away , and Run Rudolph Run (and mayby Little T&A?)
Btw. in his younger days (last 60´and 70´I would have liked to hear him at more songs. At that time his voice reminded me of Niel Young´s)

"Mr. Ronnie Wood got a nice hairtcut" (so my sister says)

Keith's vocal performances over the last few years are more schooled than they were in the past. It sounds like he is singing more from the diaphragm and it may have vocal lessons. By contrast his vocals from the 70s sound a bit more rough and from the throat which suited the songs he sang then. As to 'You Got the Silver' this was first full on lead vocal on a Stones song and I very much liked the vulnerability in his voice.

Somber maybe. Sober, never.

My favorite Keith vocal performance is Memory Motel. So much soul.

Sacrilegious as it might be to those who think "the Stones have sucked for the last 30 years" I much prefer his rendition of You Got the Silver in SHINE A LIGHT. Keith's voice was too thin and nasal for my tastes until the 1980's. I prefer his voice with some "mileage" on it. I saw SHINE A LIGHT in an IMAX theater and I was in heaven during You Got the Silver. (And of course when I saw him sing it at the MGM Grand on their last tour.)

Except for you had to put up with the most rediculous posing in the history of video. Embarrassing to watch. I especially love the need to make sure everyone sees him smaoking a cig, once more time. Bad ass.

That line is absolutely fantastic. The outtake version sends shivers down my spine.

Bad ass.

I was nothing but moved by the SHINE A LIGHT version. Glad I'm not in your shoes when watching it. Keith said a regular comment from Patti is "Why do you have to light up a new cigarette already?" And Keith answers, "Because the last one wasn't long enough." Sounds like his ever present cigarette isn't for "posturing" purposes. (And Scorsese might well have encouraged it merely for the smoke's diaphanous visual effect.)

Little T + A is the most confident rock track with Keith's vocals, imo.

But I Got The Silver might be his most soulful performance.

The way he sang it in 1999 was very impressive.
