Storyteller

Intro to "Because The Night"
"We love ya, Patti. Patti gave me this big hit, right here, I'm about to sing. If I had sung this song, it would not have been a hit. It needed her voice, and her incredible lyrics, so Patti, I have to thank you, so dearly, for our one big hit together. Thank you, darling".
