I'll never forget it. 1988 TMEA Texas All-State Choir back in High School. I was in awe of the talented teens; boys and girls who I had the privilege to be a part of. At one point the guys had a 4 part song in German, when a high note was sung by the 1st Tenors I distinctly remember hearing a voice of which I was haunted by. I was a baritone, and the song was nice enough but I never heard someone ever sing like that before. Later that day I found out it was David Phelps. Incredible.
This is in my opinion the best of the freedom songs and this video shows the fantastic voice range David Phelps has and how great this group is singing together. Fantastic song, Fantastic singing.
he is singing tenor high A's (nothing for him) for like the entire first half, then a beautiful Bb at the "on" in "his cross stamped pardon on my very soul", followed by those 3 beautiful high C#'s!!!
dunno why he didnt sing the C# that he made himself famous for, the one that should have been at 2:41... he kinda did a country thing where stayed under the note and then hooked into it at the end.
probably just mixing it up i would get sick of singing the same thing over and over again, not that it really matters hes still amazing w/e way he does it haha
i must say this...i was so hyped to write a comment for phelps but when he hit that first note at :54 i lost all feeling in my arms. they just hung there. man can sing! beautiful tenor!
Guy is taking some vacation. So they brought David in some of the concerts. Also they had Mark Lowry and Jason Crabb subst for a while. But Guy is still with the group,
yes there is a video on youtube with jason crabb singing with GVB. the video is "worthy the lamb" .. i was amazed by his voice. wes, david, jason would make a great group
Yeah... and DAVID IS IN!!! Excellent... Sad for Guy, But no one better than Michael to take is place... and more fun with Mark Lowry... ITS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!
David always is doing what he does best! Have you been to one of his concerts? Have you listened to his new CD "The Voice?" Have you seen his Christmas DVD "O Holy Night?" Both are David at his best! And, he's great helping out the GVB, too.
HOLY COW! That is what I was waiting for. Thanks so much Lesli for posting this video. David is sooo amazing and owns this song! Again...my goosebumps have goosebumps!
yup hes got an awsome voice!
he got the gift of song!

Has anyone heard why Guy and Marshal left the GVB?
choosdad 2 years ago
Guy already had about 14 years with the GVB, and wanted to persue a solo career.
Marsh was kinda unexpected, cause he was pretty much very lil time. But he is know leading worship in a church.
