This version of the song Mary Did You Know had a profound effect on me. What an amazing man with an amazing voice. The passion in his voice is so powerful. It gives me goose bumps EVERY time I hear and see it. Thank you so much .... Truly a gift to us all.
Why did I only discover Jubilant Sykes a few hours ago at Grace Community Church's Christmas Show? Why hasn't some record producer given us Sykes with a full orchestra like this singing religious as well as American standards from the Golden Age, ala Sinatra, Bennett, and Damone? He should also record with Keith Jarrett or Chick Corea or a present day jazz accompanist, ala Jimmy Rowles or Bill Evans and a trio. With just a little guidance Jubilant Sykes could become the greatest of all time!
I was blessed to hear Jubilant when he came to our city a few years back. He is truly amazing and after you hear him sing "Mary Did You Know?"- no one elses version will ever come close ! If you get the opportunity to see and hear this gifted man- do it!
I was part of the street chorus in Leonard Bernstein's Mass at the United Palace Theather on October 26, 2008. Jubilant played the lead role, and he is just mesmerizing.
I have tickets to see Jubilant perform the role of celebrant in Leonard Berstein's Mass at the Kennedy Center in DC next month. I don't think I'll be disappointed. He's fabulous!
I'm in the childrens choir in the Mass, and we've just finished up at the Meyerhoff. And Jubilant is absolutely fantastic! You definitely won't be disapointed.
Certainly with Maureen McGovern and Jubilant Sykes, the world gets its money worth.
both are fantastic.

One of my favorite performances ever. His 'mary' performance is a staple for our family at Christmas every year.

it really ticks me off that A&E doesn't carry this anymore.

I remember Jubilant singing at Christmas in Grace Church... and he had hair back then, as he does in this vid. :P
Loooong time ago that was (long before this video), when a gang of us from UCLA would drive out there every Sunday.
All these years later, Jubilant is still using his gift to glorify God.
