It really does not matter to God who sings what the best, they all are giving him the glory and that's what really matters, they ALL will be blessed, as God has promised. Keep it up! Make a joyful niose and Praise God!!
I LOVE GOLD CITY. I HAVE SEEN IN THEM IN PERSON AND HAVE TALKED TO THEM TWICE. THEY ARE THE BEST. NOONE CAN SING THIS SONG AS GOOD AS THEY CAN. I CANT WAIT TO GO SEE THEM AGAIN NEXT WEEKEND.
I really like to hear Gold CIty Sing and Dan Keeton is a super tenor, ---- however--- please just sing as it was supposed to be sung. This song is known to be difficult for most singers (even professional) to sing. You have to have great range and Dan does, but to try and embellish it and improv it up like Dan does here diminishes what the song is building up to in the last of the 2nd verse.
@metanoeo1 I'm so glad you've enjoyed it! This is a song I'm pretty tired of - except from certain singers! And Dan is one of them that I really like!
It's just like any thing else - sports, etc - we want to see the extremes. No one will go to pro basketball games with a bunch of 5'5" guys running around that can't touch the bottom of the net. We all want to hear the guys that can hit the high notes and the low notes. Dan isn't screaming, he's using very good vocal technique here, just like Tim isn't "frying" - he's using an unbelievably clear chest voice. That's why these guys are elite singers.
True, but Tim uses head voice. By head voice, I mean that his voice resonates more in his head than in his chest. Tim Riley, Jeff Chapman, George Younce, Vladimir Miller, and many other elite bass singers all use head voice. It may sound funny, but it's just tone placement. If you don't believe, just ask one of them!
I guess as long as Southern Gospel artist applaud it, we will continue to see how high we can screech or how low we can fry.
I know i'm becoming more and more an "old guy", but I think some songs should honored with retirement. This one has already been performed the best it's ever going to be (Mystery of His Way - The Statesmen 1963). The rest should leave it be. Sorry children.
@beatapt5 You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I still think this song ministers to people now. There are many people (like me) that never heard the Statesmen perform it.
I love Jay Parrack's voice and I know Dan's not going as high as Jay used to, but when he comes back down his intonation is much better than Jay's. He looks like it's effortless, which obviously means it's not, but this guy can sing.

Also don't "talk" through it - good tenors sing it and don't talk thier way through. By the way Dan is so much better than The Schreecher Ernie Haas.
I used to love Ernie's music when he was with the Cathedrals, but Ernie has never had great range or known for great tone.
