R&B/gospel singer David Peaston has passed. He was 54.I got a chance to meet David at the Apollo,he was a gentle giant,with a voice of an angel.I will always remember David.May god continue to bless his family and friends,and may David rejoice in the kingdom of heaven.R.I.P.
Bill Cosby and his Stereotypical jokes about him possibly singing the blues because he was living in the project. SMH! RIP David. You are a legend in my book!!
Oh Cosby, shut up about the projects and no money...for crying out loud. You lived in them too! RIIP DAVID PEASTON...A TRUE WONDER. Makes me feel like I did about the great Billy Stewart.
his song can i was the first song of a lot of the weedings i went to in the 90's, his voice rival that of Luther, the choir up in heaven will be the best because only god will be the leader of the greatest choir
Amateur Night at the Apollo, which came on after Saturday Night Live where I lived.
The year the great Bill Cosby hosted and his amazement at David's amazing voice. I remember when David first appeared and Bill looked at him and playfully said, "Hey Hey Heyyy!".
Much respect to Mr. David Peaston. Gone too soon.
MAN THAT MAN HAS A VOICE OF JOY.HE WILL BE TRUELY MISS LOVE HIS MUZIC.R.I.P. DAVID PEASTON.GOD BLESS YOU. "CHI -TOWN DJ. DJ.M.SMOOTH.BLESSINGS & PEACE.
This amazing voice - it's in the genes. This brother from St. Louis Missouri was the son of Clara Ward Gospel Singer MARTHA BASS, and brother to R&B singer FONTELLA BASS. What an awesome talent!
I was about 13 years old when I saw this on T.V. I had my tape recorder up to the TV speaker and recorded this performance. LOL. Still have the tape in fact. Damn I'm old!!!
Damn..And Just The Look Of This Video And The Sound Brings Me Back 2MEMORIES Of A MUCH BETTER DAY AND TIME....Young Adult Hood......Word 2 The WISE ....CUT OUT THE KILLING AND .......ENJOY YOUR YOUNG ADULT-HOOD WHILE U CAN.....
...LoL@2:18 ....That Lil Old Lady In The Front Row Seat Jumping Up And Down With Her Hands In The Air Had That Front Row Seat EVERY Show Taping For Like 4 Years.....And She Made It Her BUSINESS, T0 Be Jumping Up And Down Actin' A Fool During The "Amateur" Part Of The Show ...Her Responses To Amateur Act's Was Like She Helped To Make A Risin' Star Or She Helped The "SANDMAN" To BREAK One....
Such a beautiful entity entering the spiritual realm of music. Simply live this angelic moment - poetry and grace. Thank you Mr Peaston! Is there any more showtime at the apollo stuff of this artist? Dying to see.
I saw him last night. He made a special appearnce at a concert of local artists in St. Louis his. Physically, he's struggling, when he was wheeled up to the stage and stood very gingerly with the aid of a cane I figured his voice would be weak, but when he started to sing...WOW!! He doesn't hit some of the high notes, but his range is still phenominal.
Sweet voice.
