Mo Tenor-A Song 4 You

[excusesbegone]

look out now!! Donny Hatheway would be proud!! in my tyler perry voice"helleeeew"

[noma197]

wow,,, didnt realize i was crying until the end of the song amazing,,,,,

[MsVanessapl]

I've never heard of a version like this. The tempo, style, and dynamics of this vocalist really made this song heartfelt.

[TheDublin12]

Amazing

[JayIan98]

Patience. The beauty of its virtue here defined.

[KutWrite]

Believe it or not, Andy Williams did a great version of this song.

I first heard the Donny Hathaway version in 1971 on my first 747 flight, from Holland to NYC. I waited for the loop to go round each time to come back to this song.

Of course, I'd been "enhanced" by some Dutch hash before the flight!

[naiokifox]

and who in there right mind would dislike this........REALLY?!?!?!?

[naiokifox]

i just fell in love again.

[o00owatt]

the emotion just shoots right through me, and makes me feel as if im part of his song and that what makes this song and his voice so amazing..

[o00owatt]

this almostmade me cry..

[monicadriver18]

His voice touched my heart..it is so pure

[jusso6]

Guys, this expresses perfectly the intensity of a man's love. Us Gals love 'words'. Don't hold back. Honest, passionate words for her ears only...goes a looong way! Thank you Roderick Dixon. You really touched my heart.

[nyakzn18]

WOOW thats a perfect tone

[blkwebman]

I saw these guys in concert several years ago. Great show...

These guys are consummate professionals...

[Bendinow]

7min goosebumps...

[Sarttimi]

wow, so much emotion. touching performance- really felt it. xo

[Hotokichan]

I love this music group, almost as much as the original

[ummjt]

A singers singer :)

[briobrandon911]

ahh chills to the bones. theres so much soul and emotion to his singing. wow

[calm2k]

This is an absolutely masterful rendition of this song. Just beautiful! Bravo!

[sierracounts]

It is amazing this song

[kedavis]

DAMN!!!!!!! That was great!!!

[mamagoddess]

This brought me to tears. Incredible!

[McBane10]

i just wish he sang it a little faster

[excusesbegone]

@McBane10 ..... that was a part of making it his OWN.... not copy catting the tempo of the oringinal artist that sang it..... get it???? this was a brilliant piece!!!

[McBane10]

@excusesbegone Yeah I know, when I read over my comment it looks a little bit like I dont appreciate how he sung it as well, but I really do. I listen to this quite often as I do like his tempo, I dont know why I wrote that comment now to be honest lol

[ariesburrell]

i hate love song with a passion but this dude is amazing

[prplove879]

now this is what this song was supposed to sound like.

[kimbarudd]

Can you believe someone actually wanted to go on record as disliking this video? Timing, phrasing and impeccable tone....not to mention taking a song and making it his very own, delivering it with so much emotion and power from deep down inside......what could they possibly have been dissapointed with?

[stellartunes]

@kimbarudd this is surely a very beautiful heartfelt rendition, by all means, and I'm glad he didn't try to duplicate Donny's phrases, as he made it his own, which is the point....however if he could have played it with a little more momentum, I think it would have been even more effective...still an excellent perfomance!

[msijg]

so powerful...

[sb4short]

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pygarrett]

This and the version by christina aguilera are amazing!

[boybeyoncebitch]

wow

[1987macster07]

just lookin through your kavos pics...

[johnhreid2]

AMAZING!!!

[Weesperbuurt]

Let's remember that Leon Russell wrote and recorded this song way back in 1970...40 years ago! A good song is a good song is a good song...that's why countless people have performed and recorded it over the years...from pop to jazz and in between.

Look up Leon Russell and this song on Wikipedia

[RandomIdk]

[tapdancerose789]

[staff72]

Nice voice but IMO this is way to sloooooooow...

[1kingofutube]

[oldgypsytap]

[fancynancyjw]

bIG GIRLS DO CRY....FANTASTIC

[MorbidVixen]

It's very difficult to render me to tears...this man did it effortlessly. This is true talent.

[swishget2kno]

nothing but music.

[shonteezi]

Oh my goodness! Where has this clip been? Someone needs to update the tags, seriously. This is incredible talent. Thank you logan2108 for sharing.

[sbliffstar]

Words can't express what he's doin...the word "talent" is not enough!!

Forget all the worlds famoust artists...well most of them! Guess for real talents its all about music and not the glamour around it!

[fullback72]

Unbelievable.... compare this performance with the nonsense on those TV reality music shows..... this is REAL talent.

[eggplant654123]

he sounds like josh groban a bit....

and this is beautiful~

[Jazzoooka]

i am speechless...

[pastachou]

J'adore cette chanson de Donny Hathaway et je trouve qu'il  l'interprète merveilleusement bien.

[KyaraRiggs]

I own this dvd...have for years and this always brings me to tears. Such beauty

[aliamshala]

Wonderfull,,,,, Thats Beutifull....... Thanks for the tears,, to mom,, Alicia M Bryan 1921-2010.

[1995mustangboss]

im 19 and fell in love with the mo tenors

[yardgoods]

What a voice!!

[Kalleprutskid]

AMAZING

One of the bst singers i've heard - just behind Josh Groban :)

[BudgetMakeupBeauti]

One of the most beautiful voices I have heard in a long time!!!! Im crying and just moved by this performance simply beautiful!

[doreennewman]

Got to be one of the best versions that I have ever heard, just pure talent of voice, no "vocal acrobats" just pure singing and on pitch all the way. These guys are very very underrated in my opinion.

[MatMadik]

soooooooo beautifully gorgeous!!!!

[heatherp582]

This is the best rendition I have ever heard. My fav song.

[clemcamby]

damn! it s rare to hear a kind of singer like him! such a great tenor! amazing "interpretation"

[dhblaloc]

I saw this tour when I was a senior in high school and it changed my life. These guys convinced me to major in music. Rodrick Dixon and Thomas Young are fantastic.

[cthomp02]

You'll probably never be anywhere as good as Rodrick Dixon though.

[MISSJHON]

Does anyone know how I can get the DVD to this concert - their 1st one on PBS? I lost mine in hurricane Katrina

[SusanEichhornYoung]

amazon has them!

[MISSJHON]

Thank you!

[chosebinne]

Absolutely brilliant!

[bearnurse1]

A simply awesome voice.

[peeta12]

Great voice; and I absolutely love the song. But didn't like the arrangement.  It was a bit too drrraaaaagggged out.

[unantastbar19]

4:05

i was just like : WOW, oh my god and what the hell at the same time :D

[elaminb1]

that audience was on their best behavior lol

[vondrena]

better than ray

[sakiareski]

magnifique !!! quelle voix...

[timgrez]

He just made a grown ass man cry.

[LogicLyfe]

Why does this only have 24,000+ views?

Man, does any body still listen to good music?

Keep the music alive.

[teejay4273]

BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!!!!!!!

[notfaraway]

SPECTACULAR !!

[keithnevershire]

the falsetto at the end is superb! sounds like it at least 622

[keithnevershire]

oh yea feel the passion! awesome.....you always know when someone is a great singer if it makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up after the first diaphragm push!

[eijisenpai]

this guy sings with so much passion into it..love his vocals,it's so sharp that it just pierces through!!

[rmtenorlirico]

My God I'am just crying to now, wonderfull I do not have wordsjust take my breath away!

[arabicdominican]

Superbeautiful voiicce

[tosha723]

Beautiful! Amazing! The piano and the voice was so refreshing to listen to. I love the way he put his own special touch to this very beautiful and classic song.

[YungJRoc203]

i also sang this song at a talent show every1 go check it out i think i did a great job

[gvonig]

Actually if's Leon Jackson's song writen for Donny Hathaway and sang by many. This guy is wonderful, absolutely wonderful, after Donny. Yep I agree, stay away from Christina, she butchered the song.

[chrishanna]

do u not mean Leon Russell? he wrote the song. Leon Jackson was on X factor or somethin like that

[chrishanna]

and also, Russell didn't write it for Donny. Donny just covered it and it became a sort of signature song for him. Russell wrote it for himself to perform

[clydeclc]

yeh.....about christina......are you nuts?

[tib1389]

I absolutely love this group's versatility! Will they give you "Ah mes amis" and then "Today I sing the blues" in the same concert? SURE! And they will sound authentic and professional in BOTH!!!!

I want to be this good when I get older!

[SOPRATENOR]

VERY VERY GREAT SINGER!!!!!!

[denvercleve]

OMG...this is amazing

[bubbaq]

Its a donny Hatheway Song, you can get it any where, but not too many can sing it like this guy or Donny. Elliot Yamin does an amazing version, but stay away from the Christina Aguilara version, it makes me want to punch my self in the face. Good luck.

[Buutzilla]

So do the Temptations! It's on "A Song For You" album/cd. Cover is black and just says Temptations on it.

[Jansheikh]

Actually its a Leon Russel song remade by alot of other artists including Donny Hathaway, which i personally believe is the best version.

[mocte09]

really great...

[willdiggy]

i only wish i was there to hear that...uttter quiet in stands..

[LiquidGold2]

The emotion he is feeling can be clearly seen on his face,and in his eyes! Wonderful.

[LavenderDreams17]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you...

[keeaire2]

May the Lord continue to bless these 3 gentlemen with the voices of angels. Mr Dixon has a voice that the angels must bow their heads when he sings songs of praise to the glory of the Lord.

[gokuurules2000]

This Song brings me to tears everytime I hear it. The passion he is expressing is not very commonly seen.

[cadegregory]

Lawd, this even beats Donny! Par excellence!

[musicuseit]

rethink that

[tib1389]

right...don't get too excited, cadegregory, lmao

[Masicians]

The best version ever!

So flawless, peaceful, etc.

[MISSJHON]

I remember the first time I saw them (the original 3 mo tenors) on PBS. I became almost a groupie...I traveled to 4 different states to see them and had the pleasure of meeting and taking pictures with them. Unfortunately, I lost the pictures to hurricane Katrina but my memory of the evening is renewed when I see this video. Thanks for putting it on!

[akaulanav]

me too me too! Ive been through a VHS and two DVDs ... the same PBS show!

[BYOKRAJX]

Can anybody find me this version on a cd because I want it for a very special person?

[akaulanav]

I remember seeing a copy ripped from this DVD. But it was never released on CD :( Sorry dude. Sing it to your special someone :)

[jrdixon710]

my father is hot stuff. i want for everything to be better than him one day. i hope tenors all over the world see this. he is truly amzing.

[LBOOGiE73]

Such a heartfelt rendering! Rodrick is incredible.

[roeten]
