You are singing the verses as I remember a wonderful man sung it in his Church choir - he was interoffice messenger first job I ever had - So that when James Baldwin wrote his book with same name I had song, bought the book immediately! Thanks!
Oh, my gosh!! How gorgeous!! You have a beautiful voice Raymond. I also love the way you really got into the swing of the song. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
It's really my only song for this year that celebrates Christmas as I already have a lot of Christmas songs from the last couple of years (on a playlist).
fine performance Raymond only 2 left.Even though you are past your target time, you have done a lot of traveling and so, this is still a great achievement to you
Your soulful,passion-driven rendition of this beloved old chestnut was very moving and presented in the very best light. Filled with great spirit and genuine sincerity,your presentation has its rightful place within my YouTube favorites. Especially loved the ending where you sped up the tempo!!
maybe its because im an american, but i think this is my favorite out of your songs, great job!
