Impossible song search...

There's very little to go on.

- African American artist/band
- seems like an older group, in their 40s
- light rock/pop
- lead singer may have long hair/dreadlocks
- has a higher pitched voice

- performed for Bill Clinton at some televised celebration

- one line of lyrics from what I think is the chorus: "Free.....like a bird."

I thought it was Luther Vandross but it's not. I remember vaguely in the late 80s or early 90s, brothers who were both singers. One had a higher profile than the other but they both were high pitched. I wonder if this is one of their songs.

Like I said, not much to go on.

Just a shot in the dark....


Are you talking about "Bird on a Wire" by Aaron Neville (or the Neville Brothers)???

You could have gotten the answer quicker if you said: "one of the singers had a golf ball sized mole above his eye".

Please change the title of this thread, as it is clearly not impossible.
