Miguel Performs With Lots Of Smoke And A Bigger Light Show Than We're Used To Seeing On Letterman

The young singer Miguel, who we all falling for now, performed his song “Adorn” on Letterman last night. It’s obviously indebted to Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing” and maybe Prince’s “Adore.” But this performance reminded me a lot of an old favorite from the excellent soundtrack to Walter Hill’s ridiculous and wonderful 1984 movie Streets of Fire — Dan Hartman’s “I Can Dream About You.” Also, here’s hoping Miguel’s pompadour erases Bruno Mars from the world’s collective memory starting today.
