  • @NMHillbilly

    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.

    Thanks again and God Bless You

  • that hit me right in my chest ! brought tears to my eyes , for all the sadness i carry...may a ghange come for me soon......

  • @TheMetoyou1

    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.

    Thanks again and God Bless You

  • 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.

  • damn you are feeling that song this is amazing.. so happy i found this

  • i looove it !!!!!!!!!!!

  • 5 stars...awesome...keep on blessing us witha voice

  • nice man. nice job...I love sam cook and that song. And the words are still relevant to this day. cant we all just share this world peacefully

  • 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.

  • you touched me man! i'm feeling that! amazing!

  • Good voice but your setting gave it too much echo. Spit it next time on a mic and lip sync.

  • wow your voice is very soulful. i enjoyed watching this.

  • You got it Bruh.

    keep it up man youve got talent.

    cheers from canada.

  • definitely... LOL crazilyon snapped on you.

  • 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:-)

  • godamn you have an amazing voice

  • I don't think anybody can sound as smooth as Sam Cooke, but you my friend are blessed with a wonderful voice.

  • Very nice,you have great control,lots of emotion and excellent tone!

  • i didnt expect that from, amazing

  • 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!

    Your very very good!
