vance ... very nice work... i'm in a barbershop that does this song and it gives me goosebumps every time... the first version i heard of this was by revival and i have never heard another version come close!
Vance, as another Singing Buckeye and a close personal friend of David Harrington and of all members of Joker's Wild, this has always been on my list of favorite religious tracks. David just grins each time he drops another arrangement of it in the mail and collects that fee. Great job on the intonation and the interpretation of this great chart.
Just discovered your site. You not only excel in your music selection and performance, but you also excel in your picture selection and video editing. I wish you the very best.
Vance - another great recording! And SJCarlsonMusic is right - you've been working on your upper range, as you made the transition from where the "tenor" was singing under the "lead," to where you were over with great ease. Just remember to stay loose in the upper register. Although I sing lead, my heart still wants to sing tenor, and you did the voice part great justice! Keep it up!
@zanzan42 - Hate to burst the bubble, but Joker's Wild did it first in 1993. It was on their album Right From the Start, track 13. I used to sing, in the Singing Buckeye Chorus (SBC), with the bass of Joker's Wild, Dave Kindinger. Same DH arrangement, as the quartet I sang in while with SBC purchased a copy from David Harrington. It is an awesome recording.
@Rainmaker65 Sorry, should have been clearer. I meant "Revival did it before Four Voices" rather than "first, before anybody". Royce's rendition is still the definitive one, imo.
Vance, if you're concerned about your 'high end', might I suggest, don't tip your head back, rather tuck your chin in, and lift the nape of your neck --- It might seem like a morbid image, but, as if you were hanging from a noose.... Actually you did it on the very high note in the coda. Like that!!
Wow Hey brother I am so in love with this song haha no homo but just saying man wow You rock! =D Love you buddy! Thanks for putting together something so awesome!~ I would like to learn how to do something like this. Do you use a PC or Mac book?
My dad is in the final days of his journey. He is suffering heart and kidney failure. It is very sad to see the inevitable unfold for what has been a very strong man. Thank you so much for this respite. God is using you my friend to bless His people.
My grandma died last week and my dad, cousin, and I sang/played this at her funeral. It was one of her favorites. Thank you so much for bringing up the happy memories!
Flawless like always. Very nicely done!

It's not ironic that I sang this song just two days before you did with a friend of mine at my church. Put me to shame though.
