The first person that came into my mind was Aaron Neville, because I'd seen him a few months ago here in Brussels and I was just amazed at his voice! This man has a unique voice... his voice is incomparable. The song goes "What's a woman if a man doesn't treat her right?" And the fact that a man sings that gives it another dimension. I thought that was interesting."Vaya Con Dios' official site, section "interview" [http://www.vayacondios.info/main.html Vayacondios.info] (Retrieved April 11, 2009)
The song is featured in the Swedish movie 'Vingar av Glas' ('Wings of Glass'), starring Alexander Skarsgrd.
