Christopher John Del Gaudio - Don't Tell Mama NYC - "Ol' Man River"

[Saturnchemise]

You remind me of Judy Garland's take on this song from her TV series. The beauty is that you evoke her without ever trying to imitate her. There's the same combination of vulnerability and strength, tension and vocal control, and the ability to take a song completely out of context and make it a personal experience. There are a lot of singers out there with great vocal technique. But few who are brave enough to tear out their hearts and souls for their listeners. You are one of the latter.
