The lady at the piano with the backup chorus. She was on just before Sting. One of the lyrics was “feel like I could have loved you”. Anyone know this artist and song? ---

That was Sheryl Crow, but I don’t think that the song that she was singing was one of her own. It doesn’t sound familiar, but then again, I haven’t heard her last album. Hope this helps. ---

According to [mtv.com](http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1449031/20010921/dave_matthews_band.jhtml?headlines=true), she just finished a new CD. The song might be on there. That is, of course assuming that it is her song. A lot of the artists did cover songs. ---

Thanks for the link. I also tried [http://www.sherylcrow.com](http://www.sherylcrow.com) and sigh…even her website won’t tell me what it is. [http://www.sherylcrow.com/index\_nav4.html?newsID=3548](http://www.sherylcrow.com/index_nav4.html?newsID=3548) “Note: Sheryl will also be performing on the ambitious telecast “America: A Tribute to Heroes,” a live two-hour (9 p.m. - 11 p.m.) on Friday, Sept. 21st. Sheryl will be performing a brand new song.” ---
