O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

[hugedell]

this is called without Bill Gaither vocal band :)) and sounds just great !

[DavidHBates1]

this guy at bass is ok but bill is the best

[QueezyProductions]

Dude has a stronger voice, but Bill is has the art of blending and hearing the bass part itself down to a science. Great sustain at the end Joel.

[zomoishere]

Who's de bass? IS HE GONNA REPLACE BILL??? He s really good but u have to have Bill in de group

[jingleram]

Great version. Wes is fantastic...but David Phelps would raise the level of that performance yet again!

[88roonee625]

Wow!



[Jeeves1952]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this one. Love this song.

[jrgamboa777]

they did this in a higher key compare to the original version...

[nzbbs]

the guy in grey shirt is woodshedding?

[HappyKattt]

Absolutely beautiful...so pure and real!!!  Thanks so much for posting!

[RUNZLIG811]

This bass is real and natural with no tech needed.. Amazing

[markloves1]

Wes definately didnt kno parts of the song... he continuously looked in Guy and Joel's mouth for clarification.....but anyways the song was good... keep doing the good work u do, praise the lord!!

[hugedell]

this is awsome, GVB with bass, it's the first time I love GVB... that low D at the end is so strong, and you're voice so powerfull yet easy to controll, Bless your heart

[GraciousAnneW95]

Wow....I had to show everyone in my house this song. I love this hymn and you all sang it beautifully! I just wish I could be right in the middle and get all the voice surrounding me!!

[applesauc3]

I love the hand motions! hahahaha!

[dollybartolo]

q tal bajo...

[DrFaust2]

Great version - love the dynamics between them all.

[JuggernautWest]

wow. Love hearing that nice bass. Beautiful chord at the end.

[kpopdramcraze]

whewwww!!!! That was awesome!!!!

[colonialdame]

So, the trick is to practice in the entry hall?

[SenorSol]

Majorly jealous! Awesome harmonies, the power of the human voice at it's best!!

[93704319]

jajajaja a wes se le olvido la letra jajajj

[dejezordic]

Bill's bass is still better...

[VocallysQuarteto]

I'm jealous... Congrats boy, you're a great bass... And it was so funny to see Wes Hampton forgetting the words... so funny

[msssoares]

Wonderful! What a great hymn that is. Blessed be the Love and Light and Joy that will never let me go

[arnzfree]

wonderful...great bass and wes you're good.

[Trayne1837]

This is my all time favorite hymn.... I trace the rainbow through the rain.. and feel the promise is not vain... That morn shall tearless be.... just beautiful harmony.... THANK YOU For posting this

[dabrothaman101]

Jealousy........

[opalkovochka07]

who in the world would dislike this?!?

[rachmajane]

incredible!

[andiwwjd]

that was awesome!

[keivanni123]

this is amazing hormanies please check out ma vids please comment baby

[ayelyds]

I love this so much guys. i searched and searched till i found it again. it really is the best.Thank you for posting it so we could enjoy. fantastic! What a bass!

[LuizHenriqueCampos]

Awesome !!!

[bruceandis]

Joel, wonderful job. I'm a baritone -- which translated means, "I wish I could sing tenor or real bass notes." Your last note was simply spot one. I'll add my vote to those who suggest you could fill Bill's shoes -- and then some.

[cotterell2]

This bass is way better than Bill's.

[ChrisisBass13]

@cotterell2 no shit. bill is a tenor compared to Joel.

[matrix86]

@cotterell2 No offense to Bill, but that's because Joel is an actual bass, lol. I never have really cared much for Bill's voice (especially as a "bass"). Nothing against him, just never really liked it.

[Dut1933]

@matrix86 There are some comments that we need to keep to ourselves. If you don't like someone's voice, just keep it to yourself.

[matrix86]

@Dut1933 It's an opinion, and I have every right to state it. Whether you or agree with it or not makes no difference. I was just being honest. Don't like it? Go to a country where there is no free speech...where opinions are frowned upon. I'm not bad mouthing Bill, just stating that I don't care too much for him as a bass. He was a better baritone. You make it sound like I was talking bad about him. As I had said, nothing against him. He's a great guy, and he's got more spirit than most people.

[PhilcoMusic]

Fantastic!

[jrzy49]

Watch out Bill, ha, ha

[keivanni123]

simply the best. please comment on my vidoes singing

[moramed21]

este cara e melhor ke o bill se o bill não fosse o líder do gvb poderia trocar sem sombra de duvidas.

[spiderchocolat3]

wow, that was pretty sweet.

[ninthplace]

The guy in gray looks like Rob Schneider.

[Holly24tm]

Wow! I don't think I have ever head the Gaither vocal band sounding so smooth and sweet!

[PTBQE]

Amazing! My two favorites, Gaithers and barbershoppers. Sweet.

[floopydisc]

Manomanomanomanoman.......... AAAAAAwesome!!!

[chesnj]

Great job! Joel, you fit right in.

[bjrogers1973]

WOW!! Who WAS that? I think if Bill Gaither ever retired, this guy would be PERFECT

[bjrogers1973]

WOW!! Who WAS that? I think if Bill Gaither ever retired, this guy would be PERFECT

[bjrogers1973]

WOW!! Who WAS that?

[ChrisisBass13]

@bjrogers1973 the bass from the acoustix. dont know his name.

[bjrogers1973]

@ChrisisBass13 thanks for the reply I have never heard of the acoustix, but I will definitely check them out

[ChrisisBass13]

@bjrogers1973 I personally think they're former bass singer Jeff Oxley was better than him because they became famous because of him.

[exmortis]

Nice that Sam Elliot showed up from his Roadhouse days, along with the Home Makeover dude and Rob Schneider to sing with the guy in the black suit.

[tdizzmbizz]

@exmortis lol I was thinkin rob schneider too... and burt reynolds with long hair.

[MomsterYop]

There's a lot of discord in this arrangement ("pain" at 1:00. The key changes are very weak.

[peanut00750]

@MomsterYop seriosly bro, your gonna criticize this?? sing it better is all im saying

[hosacelinha]

eu só queria dizer q voces são de mais...

[ngatiporou]

Praise The LORD JESUS THIS IS SO AWESOME.

[twizdoon]

Anyone notice something? Nothing against GVB..

But JOEL? A barbershop singer or music teacher... has his hands in his pockets till Guy puts up '5'...

Barbershop Singers sing with alot more emotion compared to other types of singers... AND Joel keeps his hands in his pockets while Wes keeps tapping his ears, Marshall and Guy are playing basketball with their hands... While Joel has full control of his breathing, posture, and everything else... JOEL YOU ARE AWESOME!!

[kelly81751]

dont see any other group that can sing this song like this. only GVB U GUYZ ARE THE BESY.

[swedesngr]

Awesome!  Thanks for sharing.

[ASchuchman]

That is awesome!!! Not too many Barbershopper's can say they got to sing with Guy Penrod.

[ChrisisBass13]

this is where southern gospel and Barbershop connect. Southern Gospel in a sense... is barbershop rock. Think about it. The Tenor Lead Bari and Bass, then instrumental backing! It makes sense now.

[bordonthestreet]

Wow! I had no idea the Rutherford was on youtube!

Man alive, great song. that tag was Innnsaaane!

[FineyLeee]

Not to mention 2:23!!! I thought only David Phelps could sing like that... Apparently there's at least one more hahaha =)

[bordonthestreet]

Hell yea. I nearly crapped my pants during the lead-in to the tag

[FineyLeee]

Joel, you da friggin man! This is the best version of this song out there!!! Love your bass!

[vamosrafz]

at 1:10 and 1:20 wes doesnt know the lyrics haha priceless :) LOVE IT

[Superkuat45]

do you guys know when they gonna come to philippines???

cant wait to see them singing live...

[abetiuc]

very nice...God bless!

[TopdollarStudio]

i didn't know burt reynolds sings!

[1LilKing]

Amen! What a truly beautiful song. Happy Sabbath everyone

[calabur]

y ese quien es?

[ftomxo20]

asombroso, bendiciones

[djara1982]

wow

[mann4God]

who is the guy next to Guy Penrod? Not the one across from him.

[tanlinestx]

Marshall Hall

[kellyduckert]

Beautiful harmony guys - there's nothing like 4-part harmony!!!

[taurgemKa]

I only got 35 secs in...good job with the bass dude! For a minute I thought you were the new bass or something, lol (I saw the comments below me). Congrats on getting to sing with them; I love their blend.

[goodsing]

Awesome bass, brother! :)

Wes is so cute, even cuter when he forgets words. :)

I would LOVE to sing a song with the GVB! Would be a dream come true. I don't think I will ever get there though. :) Great job - you are blessed to have had that opportunity!

[muzikgirl1]

WOW! Amazing bass! Love it! Poor Wes almost forgot the words there for a little bit...we'll forgive him. ;)

[uwchlaw]

I have just listened to it again- who's the incredible bass- No disrespect to Mr Gaither but this balance is far stronger all round. What a Blessing to receive. thank you- It's really lifted up my spirit.

[uwchlaw]

SUPERB!

[samicel]

ohh, yeah... that's the Canadian bassist, he is from Kitchener, he even went to the same highschool I went to, Eastwood Collegiate Institute :) I remember when he came to Kitchener with Harmonics. It was so awesome!

[Jobsta08]

Guitarmannwv-Yea Im guessing your right although Bill tried. Loving the Chords.

[Andresquartet]

the gaithers vocal vand .. lo mejor

sin duda , y bueno eso queda demostrado

en vivo y sin microfonos ni nada de eso ..

bueno aunque es su trabajo ser profecionales ..

para mi son lo mejor en su estilo ..

saludos de chile , santiago ..

[PrimalHunter]

absolutely beautiful, any chance anyone knows where i could get sheet music for this one?

[greenbem1955]

This is what I aspire to as a Christian Barbershopper.

[Guitarmannwv]

So this is what the GVB sounds like with a "real" bass. :-) love you Bill

[susanacarter]

This is outstanding (and how the song should be sung)...I love this song, it has blessed me so many times...to hear the words sung with such feeling is a gift in its self...

[Bonzotam]

AWESOME

[gottaloveskillet]

love how they are all leading the guy in the suit. This harmony is truely amazing!

[dlrollo]

Their hand motions are more for their own benefit than Joel's (in the suit).

[eltontheprince]

LOVE the chord at 2:06...

[eltontheprince]

Whoa! You're right! That is a cool chord.

[onthefloor7]

Joel, Steve Kenward from Laurier... still got it eh? glad to see you've come so far!!! Awesome

[Clarinet90]

Truly Awesome!!!

Does anyone know where this arrangement can be purchased (i.e. sheet music)???

[pianodawl]

this arrangement gives me goosebumps EVERY time i hear it!

[vanceperry]

Amazing Joel! I love it and I bet that was a thrill!

[bighugephil]

David Phelps arranged the harmonys on this song...waesome...loving the bass singer he rocks

[GameShowGuy]

Awesome harmony - wow. The voices fit together so well.

[hjbrandt2]

Awesome, indeed, Joel. Nothing less than we expect from you (!) but, all the same, you had a great opportunity and you really nailed it. I'd give anything to see more of the before and after, though... ! Love it when folks outside of B'shoping discovers that there's some talent in our ranks.

[acswizard]

The true measure of talent is whether someone can sing acapella.  Job well done! Beautiful harmony. Just don't let the meaning of the words get lost in the process... this is a GREAT song with beautiful WORDS.

[TrebleMakerBeth]

this was awesome!! thanks for posting. :)

[coolsinger016]

Thats some dirty harmony!!

[vocalpercbass18]

absolutely fantastic.

calebB

[mrvals]

Wow, this is great. GVB are just AWESOME.... you're really fortunate to have sang with them.

[hastosing]

Sick. I love the GVB, the Acoustix, and Glory Days! Amazing guys

[DanishCartoonist]

Great singing all-round! Loving that ending!!!

[Bass35744]

Listen to that bass! Joel, I think you should sing bass for this group! You all blend PERFECTLY with each other! The low D2 at the end was so incredible! Nice work! Very inspiring!!!

[matrix86]

wow...it's nice to hear a REAL bass with GVB. I'm just not a big fan of Gaither as a bass...doesn't really sound right. Just my opinion, lol.

[gaga4guy]

now this is what harmony is all about. why don't they start a quartet?...would solve the GVB speculations going around. blessings to all. keep on praisin' the Lord, y'all \o/

[hotnumber24]

I love this song!

[lilyofthevalley94]

Oh! Wow, you are so lucky...

You sang with them! Such a blessing, never to forget!

I live in the Netherlands, I have never seen these guys before in real life, but I love them.

One day I will see them in real, I hope...

And now Guy and Marsh left! How sad.

Great video, thanks for posting!

[JoeRalte]

lilyofthevalley94, The Gaither Vocal Band had a concert in Ahoy, Rotterdam last year. I even came to see their concert. It was awesome...

[lilyofthevalley94]

I know, Ahoy...

Friends of my parents went to that concert, but I couldn't go, unfortunatly!

I'll regret that for the rest of my life!

The next time they are near.. I know what to do!

[dannymarx]

10 oktober dit jaar opnieuw in Ahoy ;) hoop dat er nog kaartjes zijn.

[fluffyice]

i cant believe guy and marshall are leaving the group!!!! :(

[HCFan39]

Me, either - I am so shocked that I can´t think normal yet !!!

[sokker88]

i know im real real real sad

[jcirmsa]

question, does anyone know where i can get the sheet music for this song?

[calesh02]

awesome

[nicfer11]

Great bass :D

[benjaminyerika]

Simplemente hermoso, beutiful!

[johnnyburdiles]

Great, great, great...!!!!! I ever thought that this song could sound this whith a real bass... Thanks for the gift...

[jcirmsa]

HOLY GOD!!! THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!

[hognabbt]

Hello, this was very beutiful, thanks for shareing! Correct me if I'm wrong but most GVB songs are with orchestra and less than 4 vocal parts. I think that they should sing with less vibrato, it might work with the GVB setup, but I personally don't like it at all when it is overdone in four part harmony. Great job on the bass part there Joel!

[greentrombone]

How intimidating was it to have Marsh, Guy, and Wes throwing hand gestures at you? haha. That's some kind of conducting!

[jorgevc26]

ya era hora de probar un nuevo bajo, calro sin desmerecer al genial compositor unico Bill Gaither¡¡¡.. :)

[denrop]

I've nnever heard the GVB wih a bass!

[markt2429]

Bill Gaither sings bass! Although he is quite soft sang. Lol, love it when Wes Hampton forgets the words!

[AllAboutYooooou]

Gaither doesn't even sing most of the time!

[CaptMoo]

True that... he is a professional lip singer jeje... We still love u Bill hahah

[markt2429]

Awk he does now, if you listen. Really hard.

[oracleeua]

Congratulations from Brazil!!!

God Bless you!!! Great voice!!!

[273973]

I found myself playing this over and over. Joel, I wouldn't be surprised if they call on you in the future to fill in. That sound was so there! This type of cross-promotion is just what we need more of within the musical community.

Love this "Sing with the Champ" footage of barbershop's own Joel T. singing with the awesome Gaither Vocal Band singers. Way to go Joel T.! These impromptu sing-throughs are so very special! What a great arrangement of a terrific gospel song!

[srocketman]

[bighugephil]
