Awsome!!! What does you being white have anything to do with it:)LOL Music is Music. It can bridge many gaps and is a global language. Thats what I believe atleast.
Make sure you check more of my videos and more music, especially original music, is on the way.
I'm sorry to be getting back to you 2 months later. I pray that whatever you were going through at the time is over and has made you a better person. Christ can take away that sadness and replace it with his joy. The kind of joy that will make people wonder why you're so happy when it seems everything around is crumbling. Holla back at me.
Make sure you check more of my videos and more music, especially original music, is on the way.
Excellent version! Straight foward with good clean notes and vibrato! You moved easily through the keys.....Good job bro! A change is gon' come...but it wont be from Obama......Jesus will be here shortly, He's gon' straighten everything out!
You got something my friend.wish I could sing like you.This happens to be one of my favorite songs If you ever get a negative comment it`s because they are jealous See you on Tv one day.
You have that what one refers to as soul !!!! you must sing this song with feeling it personifies hurt, pain, anguish, destress, and humiliation. Speak to your parents or grandparents asked what they experience by being beaten and humiliated in their generation. Then you will truely know where this song is coming from once you can feel that anguish then you can sing this song with tears in your eyes. Sam felt it, I think you have given credence to this pain in your song. My repect young man.
Uau what a amazing voice ... and you sing very well ... I say it because I know mutch people with amazing voice bud they cant sing. And I thing that Music is perfect for your voice.
You have lots of talent. Your voice is very strong and it gave me chills up the back of my neck & head. Talent for real. Thanks for bringing back the real good stuff. Best wishes in your pursuit.
Your vocals are good ass hell. Im gonna practice this song and post it on my page checkout my two singing post i have on my page and tell me what you think, good job on this song.
this came to me out of nowhere.when my dad died.i didnt even know who was singing this song.this is a very strong song.i get teared up just thinking bout this song.but,hey can you sing the song,something about the name jesus?
It's good you acknowledge that Cooke himself was young... I mean no disrespect, I hope you know this, but it is arrogance to believe that age gives you a greater insight into suffering. Suffering comes in many, many forms, it does not care about age(or gender or race). I'm glad we agree that the young man sings well though. Forgive the litany. LOL
@ DrHolly how do you know if this Youngster has suffered or not? There is a certain arrogance in your statement. He sings well and should keep at it (suffering or not)
i truly thnk you have a nice voice but this wasnt da song for you. this song requires a lot more heart into. but lke i said you have a very nice voice:-)
wow man keep blowin man for 14 lyk me to get a tingly feeling lyk dat inside about a person singing mt fav. song u did good keep it up dude we need black men lyk u cumin up ya digg
i thought it was awesome , but speed it up a litle bit. I know it is a slow song but it was not that slow , and make it a little louder. Otherwise , it waspretty good. Keep up the awesome job !!!!
can't say your video and singing is 'over-produced' which means you are fantastic. Best wishes to all you do soul brother! so saith theradioavengerdotcom

I'm 61, and around when Sam Cooke first started singing, and darlin, you are OUTSTANDING!!!
You have what it takes, so don't ever quit singing, even if you never choose to sing for a living. It's in your soul for sure.
Trust me when I say, that those of us that are from the early 60's NEVER allow anyone to think they can compare to the real stars of that day.
YOU ARE THE EXCEPTION!
