Haunting version of 'Motherless Child', expressively and skillfully performed by Justin Guarini and the Bright Hope Celestial Choir. Conducted by Dr. Donald Dumpson. 12/17/06 (video by JusticeLvr)
Song's history described by composer Gwyneth Walker: 'Motherless Child' is derived, in part, from the African-American spiritual 'Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child'. The original song dates back to the era of slavery when it was common practice to sell children of slaves away from their parents.

  • I watch this video on a regular basis, it stirs my soul. Let me make it known now that I voted for Justin every night, multiple times and he was robbed! I love Kelly but I did not vote for her EVER. But God makes no mistakes...there's something way more awesome waiting on Justin. He made a jazz album, got married...Kelly's never happy anymore these days anyway.

  • From the first time I saw him open his Justin G. Fan... always will be, no matter how horribly the music industry treats him.

  • Beautifully soul stirring. One of the best versions I've heard of this song! I wish he'd done this on American Idol!

  • He is definetly infusing the style of the late GREAT Mr. Donny Hathaway in this particular performance. If you're a Donny Hathaway LOVER like me (I'm the biggest ever) U will notice that he has infused that style here beautifully.

  • BEAUTIFUL! It's very haunting and yet it lifts my spirits. I listen to this whenever I have a bad day and then I feel like everything is gonna be ok.

  • amazing

  • yes thats him..lol

  • amen

  • YOU GO JUSTIN!
