Patty Loveless SINGS recording 'Sleepless Nights'!

This is my current favorite song- a remake by Patty Loveless of the classic "Sleepless Nights"!

Patty is great- but, I really like the high tenor singing harmony! (Who they never show, or name!!)
He is like Ginger Rogers, to Patty's Fred Astaire- he does everything she does, only higher, and "backwards"; i.e. in "reaction" to what she sings! Kudos, Mr. Unknown!! (Although, I GUESS that it is the guy who is smiling in a brief shot towards the beginning, a Mr. Harold Bradley... but, that is probably wrong! Who is this mystery dude? Perhaps it's Brad Pitt!!)

Also, it is interesting that Patty Loveless is actually singing in the same range as I do- that of high tenor! Although, she doesn't have to use falsetto...

The chord progression on this song is DIFFICULT! But, if you listen only, what do you care?
