Roberta Flack and Donny Hathway -The Closer I get to you,

[Toonzy1000]

pure heaven

[lady8001]

This is one of the best voice-guitar gigs I´ve ever seen! Also one of a few times I haven´t asked myself about the other instruments... you´re complete!

I think falsetto is very difficult and sometimes it just sounds ridiculous and annoying, but yours was great!

[skrimpdaddy]

rude people, they didnt know what a treat their big yappers missed

[diankelly1]

Wow a voice from heaven, sound really really good. Too bad the people in the room was so loud and disrespectful. Yet he did his thing anyway....

[ArmandoG2013]

good music never dies - Donny took himself from us too soon but his and Roberta's music lives on

[TheWillymelvin]

wow.. y are u not signed brother!!! ur amazing g.. hold it up

[adamloliver]

Awesome performance as a singer I know how difficult those vocals are. Very talented, great performance.

[raych1403]

amazing, absolutely love your voice! one love from brisbane australia :)

[favorlucky7]

OMG! My brother it's time for the world to see you're a shining star. I could have sworn I heard keyboards, drums, bass guitar, acoustic guitar and you singing along with Roberta Flack. This performance was absolutely MARVELOUS! Today can be the start of a whole new life for you. Because, YOU my "Brother" have proven that you are ready for the world. Please, email me on how we can contact you. We've set-up our mail box to accept all incoming mail from you. We'll be waiting to hear from you.

[favorlucky7]

WOW...OMG! I'm honestly watching this with my mouth open for words to come out and I don't know where to start. I can say this much, you are a one man's band, and orchestra all wrapped up. I could have sworn I heard keyboards, drums, bass guitar, acoustic guitar and you singing along with Roberta Flack. It was absolutely beautiful my Brother. Please, if you don't mind will you email me on how to book you for events. This performance was absolutely MARVELOUS! I'll be waiting for your email.

[ashake22]

This was so good!! great job, how many artist can sing both parts on a duet?

[favorlucky7]

@ashake22 ...there aren't many that can do this. That's what makes this man so unique. I admire his professionalism.

[Sikwidityo]

Excellent rendition Mr Debois. However, the title on this video should have been posted differently. It's a little deceiving in its current form. Anyway, great job!

[Sikwidityo]

Excellent rendition. However, you should've named the video differently. It's deceiving the way it is currently. However, excellent rendition L. Debois.

[aduck1340]

sounds good

[delahk92]

Please do the full song, that was amazing !

[loureb07]

excellent!

[candacesuero]

He sung Roberta's part better than she did.

[silvermane1516]

This gentleman did a fantastic rendition of this song on his own; he didn't need someone else to "do Roberta Flack's part."

[JoeyyCoco]

Not a song for a sole male to be performing. He should have a female accompanying him to do Roberta Flack's part.

[Karenfan09]

Great performance !!!!!

[T3rryS0u1]

Man you rock!! :)

[KAMON1973]

[Ebonyiis]

OMG!!! OMG!!! I've got chills so bad up my arms....sang it. I wished I were ther to sing Roberta's part....we sound good together. But you held down BOTH parts!!! You go!!!

[hope1112]

He has a very nice voice. too bad the audience didnt respect the mic enough to listen to him

[pbourget]

Very nice singing. Too bad some audience members missed out on this performance because of the chatter.

[smurphsoul]

Excellent real musician real singer we need more of this great song

[Ardyia08]

The crowd needed to shutup. This man can sing!

[young0607]

It's amazing how you can mimic the voice of every singer whose songs you sing!

[Homertoeclipper]

Nice rendition....The crowd could have been more silent and attentive - the man deserves more notice and respect.

[pezimaxie]

very cool version, but it looks like he's lipsinging

[ricojun0217]

Awesome

What's goin' on his super voice?

[italian0dyme]

when he sings in tenor range, he sounds a lot like tyrese. and the alto sounds a lot like ron isley :)

[MichelleMyBelle67]

Beautiful voice.

[alghow]

Now that's singing!!! Great voice playa!

[jody808]

great voice!!

[jbulldogst]

O my god! Now that is talent! Super smooth vocals. Man, I wish I had this brothers album.

[Dominionmaster2]

I think your voice is amazing, I have become a huge fan of yours just from the version of Luther Vandross's If this world were mine that you posted. I am a huge Luther Fan since I was a kid. Amazing

[tewhiuneta]

man you are an awesome singer, such a shame the crowd didn't appreciate it

[fealeymthefab]

amazing, just a shame the crowd didn't appreciate it as much as they should have

[favorlucky7]

@fealeymthefab ...I agree. That's alright, our crowd is just waiting on him to perform in our area. We'll show him how much we appreciate him.

[eruera52]

Awesome, all strength to the hard workin muso who puts everything out there for the world to see. Opens up his heart and is unafraid. So brave. Good on you L Debois, love you man.

[nickyvallee]

wow-I cannot believe people were talking this performance...man oh man!

[gibsg62]

@nickyvallee  right...

[GinaMarie1956]

@nickyvallee I agree it is very rude!

[calferath]

@nickyvallee The audience was probably white. haha..

[favorlucky7]

@nickyvallee ...we're working on booking Mr. L Debois and our event is a little more formal then the ACS event. Trust me he will definitely receive the attention he deserves. There will be less talking during his performances if our organization books him, and we're willing to book him at any price.

[MissMonique78]

[phileustace]

In the 80s, I used to sing this song to my girlfriend when we had sex every night. It was great. Now, when i look back to the 80's I remember what a special time it was. A time of "easy life", a time of champagne, wine and celebration. A time to meet many different women and have many tropical holidays with them on remote islands in the pacific. A time to drink pinacoladas and forget about financial troubles. A time to bang as many hos as you can. A time to gamble money and make big winnings.

[jindodied]

damn... you made me fall in love with that song all over again. You have done very nive things with that song.

RIP Donny Hathaway

[mynaps01]

ima need you to hurry up and make some cd's so i can listen to some real music...YOU ARE BRILLIANT! it is very rare that you find someone who sings well and play an insturment.
