- Since one whole century (1910/13) this popular and timeless irish ballad has not lost any it´s unique glamour. Please enjoy it, a melancholic and emotional special treat with the angelic voice of the prodigious young singer!
This song is written by English songwriter Frederic Weatherly (1910) and became popular after "A Londonerry Air" in 1913. - เพลง
My brother Danny died today. I think I'll play this version at his funeral.
You can spend the next week listening to a thousand versions of Danny Boy on You Tube sung by various artists through the years. You'll be wasting your time. The most touching, heartfelt version is right here, sung by a little American girl. She is truly gifted and makes life here on good old planet Earth just a little brighter.
Try Ireland’s Leah Barniville….x
Her Voice is likened to "liquid sunshine". So angelic, so pure. And she sings Oh, Danny Boy with such precious grace!!!
Thanks!! I cannot listen to her singing Danny Boy without crying...and I'm not even Irish!! Have you heard her sing Ave Maria? The Impossible Dream? Oh Holy Night? It goes on and on; TH-cam has it all!!!
Im a Fil-Am and a veteran...I always cry when I sing this song...its got to be one of the best melody ever specially if Jackie sing this song.
Jackie Evancho angelically sang Danny Boy like no other, 10 years ago at the age of 10. Hopefully, she will someday grace the world with it again. :)
I've listened to Jackie singing this ballad many, many times and it has never gotten old. Her voice could melt a stone, so it had no problem with my heart.. To me , she will always be an angel on Earth!
I love Jackie's interpretation to this song! Not too many techniques, only pure heart, true love and sincere voice!! Bravo!!!
here i am sitting up with tears rolling down my face. why is it that jackie is the only singer that does it to me. my late dads favourite song and remembering my late brother, who recently died from the big c. she is astonishing.
My Irish grandfather just listened to this song for the first time in many years and began to cry. A beautiful band heartfelt song!
Jackie gives the best rendition of Danny Boy that I have ever heard.
Oh yah. She is so enchanting, like she could sing a lullaby and I would fall asleep. It just makes me a little tired just hearing her sing this song.😌😴😌😴😌😴
How many have you heard?
I am 72 and over the years I have heard many singers take a stab at it. Jackie gives fresh and reverent approach,Plus,she is an excellent singer.
@@mmjhcbI am 74 years old and 'Danny Boy' has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. During the past 60 plus years I have searched for every recording of it, and Jackie's in my opinion is the BEST.
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
Happy St. Patrick's Day
Amen
My father passed away on Tuesday Oct 15th 2013 at home in hospice care and my mom picked this song to be sung as we exited the church..it was so sad..i miss you dad and i will do my best to carry on..mom will be allright
So pure! When she sings I feel the notes in my soul.
Beautiful young lady beautiful song
I met my wife 54 years ago singing Danny Boy in a night club in calf. Asked her to marry me on our 1st date,! just lost her a short while ago.She became a Gospel Singer , She wrote over 100 songs,most are copywrighted.JACKIE ,GOD BLESS YOU,Don't ever stop SINGING,!!!!
God Bless sir, you know your name is almost Gaelic for Donal, which is Danny in English...take care!
That is such a beautiful story, God bless you
sad but beautiful song.
God bless you , Donald . Thanks for sharing your life’s story . Stay strong as your wife will wish ... I lost my wife after 52 years ago .... she knew she was going and actually proposed to a lady on my behalf ❤️❤️❤️
- stayed single though

I was bursting into tears when I heard this song. God has really blessed her with a beautiful voice. It makes me think about my grandpa smith........
she's amazing. no words. Fourth time I'm listening to it in one day!
This song is so beautiful I literally sat here and sobbed. Just the meaning behind it is soooo beautiful.
Jackie Evancho---her voice on "Danny Boy" and all of her other music......is timeless and of
another world.
Jackie places her stamp on every song she sings. In each case her version becomes definitive, she owns it. This is one of the surest signs of her genius.
A tear in my neye and i'm from Ireland.
Oh, Jackie Evancho! Amazing, the best Danny boy!!!
so precious as she is and always will be
Her voice is absolutely stunning..completely enchanting. What I wouldn't do for her gorgeous voice! What a blessing!
This song made me cry! So unspeakably beautiful.
I like this song very much . I had an opportunity to travel to Ireland long ago.Now I feel happy to see the beautiful places again where I visited in the background photos of this wonderful song. In addition, I enjoy the angelic voice of the young singer as mentioned. Beautiful people, beautiful song !!
The little girl who sang this so beautifully just bought a car. It's hard to believe that almost six years have gone by since she first became known among those of us who enjoy songs beautifully done. I saw her from a second row center auditorium seat in December. What a treat that was!
+Richard Olsen If she gets invited to perform again at the National Memorial day concert, she should sing this.
I am also Irish,and heard this song recorded by litrely 100's of people but I will say that Jackies version is without a doubt,the best I have ever heard,thank you GOD for giving her to us to enjoy
Happy is my day when I find Jackie singing a song I never heard her sing before.....
It is so hard to believe that this beautiful voice is coming from a child.
There is only one Jackie.Bless her heart,what a sweet little girl with the talent
of a season pro. the hollywood types should emulate Jackie`s demeanor and be
a roll model for girls and young ladies instead of their own selfish behavior that would
make a grown man shake his head in disbelief by their actions.Thanks for your time
reading my diatribe
Oh my...Jackie has such a beautiful, soothing voice. Those high notes are amazing, not only for their precision and tone, but the ease with which she transitions into them. Remarkable performance, gives me chills every time.
Such a peaceful song hits your heart for the one you love so very much.
my dads favorite song. I love it. and this girl is amazing.
DANNY BOY SO DEEP MEANING, DONE BY AN ANGEL'S VOICE
REALLY NICE FROM "JACKIE"
she is so wonderfull, sweet,and ghoing places
This lass has a gift
And she in turn is our gift
9it
Such a beautiful melody! And Jackie makes me feel that she feels every word of it! She is so remarkable! She has my Love!
Her voice and resonance calls my soul deeply…Let's register this song with a world music inheritance.This song is splendid.Her voice rhme is an expression of her soul.
I think so.
what a beautiful rendition of a classic...
I just love the song of Danny boy
Jackie Evancho's vocals with Chris Botti on trumpet. This is the most beautiful rendition of 'Danny Boy' I have ever heard. Jackie's vocals can touch one's emotions at their deepest depths.
Her voice would bring a tear to a glass eye.
This song was very popular near the end of WWII and that is how I got my name.
My Mom and Dad would love Jackie's version. I remember they would get right
upset if someone called me Daniel. Song makes me remember them. Thanks Jackie
On trumpet, the master, Chris Botti , the voice is that of the then 10 year old Jackie Evancho.
Most amazing is this was the FIRST and LAST time she preformed this Masterpiece.
She is a sorely needed blessing to our nation as well as a patriot who was well received worldwide despite the real competition from other talents
Very wonderful Jackie!
God alight you!
God bless you forever!
Danny, Shelly, Chrissy and your wife misses you so much. This beautiful song is for you
She sings so beaufully especially this song.
Greatest love song by the sweetest voice under heaven
i hope this girl can keep up to bring hapinnes aurond the world and keep the dark from peoples hearts.she has that gift like no
This version of "Danny Boy" is such a beauty and the little angel who sang it is, too. We loved seeing and hearing her when her singing career began and we wish the very best for her these years later.
Inigualable interpretación de Jackie Evancho, de esta canción típica irlandesa. Cómo siempre nos regala su voz celestial en su forma de interpretar.
How must it be for a tiny girl, starting at the age of 9, to have the entire world stop to listen to you and you alone, standing, clapping, screaming, buying out your concerts all over the world months in advance, deferring to your versions of old classic songs as the best ever heard? How must it be? It does not seem to frighten her. I'm not sure how even that part works.
Simply heavenly, indescribable.
her poise is as remarkable as her voice
right on she has a gift to share
This is absolutely the best version I have ever heard of this song !!! We had this song , by another singer, played at my dads funeral, long before Jackie was even born, it was his favorite song and I have requested this song, by Jackie be played at my memorial service when I leave....being Irish it strikes a chord very close to home !!! Beautiful rendition !! !
just heard the great Deanna Durbin an early crossover colatura soprano and movie star sing this.Such gave rise to the greatness of Jackie. She left hollywood at 27 living close to a hundred
This is a truly amazing rendition of this classic Irish ballad.
Even more amazing when you realise the artist singing it was still 10 years old at the time it was recorded.
But to me the most amazing fact is, this is the ONLY time she EVER sang this ballad.
moving, exquisite voice
My favourite piece of music ❤❤. Her voice blends so well with the trumpet❤❤
Two gifts in one. One of the great vocalists of all time, accompanied by an unusally gifted trumpet player. Does life sound any better than this? I don't think so.
Danny Boy is a favorite of mine. I listen to every version of it I can find.
Frank Patterson tops my list of renditions by a male, and Celtic Woman had been at the top of my list for females. But I bumped both of them from the top spot in favor of a singer who has sang Danny Boy only ONCE. That's correct ONLY ONCE, she had never performed it before the day she recorded it, and has never performed it since that day.
It was recorded as 1 of 19 songs to be considered for a then upcoming album. 14 of the 19 songs made it onto the album. 18 of the 19 made it onto the Deluxe Edition of the album. Danny Boy was the only song out of the 19 that did not make it onto either album, nor onto any of her albums since then.
That vocal artist, was the 10 year old singing in this video, Jackie Evancho. It was recorded in March 2010, the record producer was David Foster.
But IMHO in the years to come Jackie's rendition of Danny Boy will be judged by future music scholars as A Masterpiece of the Ages.
Absolutely, I have listened to over 100 renditions of this song- many are very good but "NONE" are in the same class as this! A class of one- Jacqueline Marie Evancho. That she was only 10 yo just makes it more unbelievable!
I sang this song for a local music competition, and this version with Jackie Evancho is beautiful!
For nearly eighty years I've heard the best of the best sing this song. BUT NEVER AS BEAUTIFULLY AS OUR JACKIE.
Thank goodness our daughter looks just like my DANNY. WE MISS HIM. I HATE WARS IT TOOK.MY DANNY AWAY FROM US. THIS BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES
THIS YOUNG LADY SINGS THIS SONG PERFECT. SO PEACEFUL AND WONDERFUL TO HEAR HER VOICE SING THIS SONG SO BEAUTIFULLY. SHE BRINGS MY MEMORY BACK AS I MISS MY DANNY
Makes me feel like I'm at home in Ireland
I am so touched. God has given her an amazing voice!💗🐕🐬
Out of these 73,208 hits, I wonder how many was me? Beautifully done; Without compare!
Very powerful rendition by Jackie! Love it. The best I ever heard and I have heard many renditions over the years!
I've heard many different performances of the classic Irish ballad, but I do believe this is the finest performance of this song ever recorded. It's heartbreaking and stunning at the same time.
+flip inheck Try educate yourself. It's 100% Irish, based on the ancient Irish ballad Aislean an Oigfear, which F.W. used to write words to. It has NOTHING to do with england. Grow up!
Donnchadh Ó Hámsaigh wrote Aislean an Oigfear, where the tune to Danny Boy comes from. F.W., like so many others, added lyrics to the tune. And as FW said himself 'it's a very very Irish tune'.
flip inheck Wow! you english will grasp at any straws that you can find in order to connect a popular thing/person to england. If you had the intelligence to read anything, including my comments (simplified for you to understand!!), you would see that I never said F.W. didn't put words to this ancient Irish tune, as many other men did. And no, you are wrong about Jane Ross. I take it you know nothing about music or history. Ross is only credited with collecting ancient Irish tunes, especially this one, 'Aislean an Oigfear' (Irish for 'Young man's dream'), and sending them the great Irish musician, George Petrie, in Dublin, to be preserved. Once again, many people wrote lyrics to this tune, even as far as Westlife's 'You Raise me up', written by Irish man, Brendan Graham. But, I see I am talking to someone who can only insult people and use vulgar language in order to keep his argument going, without any mature argument. So, I take it I am dealing with a child, or a very immature person. So good luck with your fantasy and to re-quote yourself keep 'pulling fairy tales out of your ass' in order to believe what you want. Good luck with that in life. I'm bored with ya now. See ya!
Now now children let's not fight the point is it is a beautiful song and personally I like Ray prices version the best although I'm crazy about this little girl singing Jackie Evancho is right up there with the best
The English owning the Irish yet again😂 a beautiful Ballard written by an Englishman and put to a traditional LondonDerry air
Been Irish and now living in the US, I have heard this song thousands of time. It's a song that is meant to be sung in the classical style and NOBODY can do a better job with it than this young Lady. That is why I will follow her career forever because she's only just begun. And the videography is absolutely breathtaking. I do not know why she chose to record this particular song but she nailed it, that is all I can say!
Recorded when Jackie Evancho was only 10 years old in 2010 for her 'Dream With Me' album. She recorded 19 songs for the album and this is the only song that didn't make the cut for the album. I've read that she did this recording in only 1 take and never sang it again. She's 22 years old now and I hope someday before I pass I get to hear her sing it live.
@@rd1903 Yes what I have herd also just stunning for a 10 year old child !!!
@@rd1903 No, not recorded in one take. And in fact David Forster had to, shall we say "strongly encourage" Jackie to get it recorded, making her mom none too happy. But even then only after changing the wording of a couple of lines. And to this day Jackie has not sung "Danny Boy" again, which is a shame because her's is the best version I have ever heard. NO ONE does it better.
@@jayjackson8480 One of many songs she never put on an album that hopefully she chooses to sing in concert someday. Songs like 'Only Time', 'She Knew' & 'Mercy'. Also songs from years past that she would absolutely crush like 'Scarborough Fair' (Simon & Garfunkel) & 'Nights In White Satin' (Moody Blues).
Judging by her 'Behind My Eyes' song though, seems like she is headed more in the 'Techno Pop' direction, which makes sense. More upbeat and the type younger people can gravitate to.
Been Irish and living in the US and listening to a classic English song! Do your homework
Magnificent
If you've never believed in a higher power let this be a testiment to the "gifts" God gives us. God has planted an angel in this young girls soul for us to hear Him and a taste of the glory and wonder He has waiting for us all who believe.
Fantastic means a lot to my family
Greatly divine
This beautiful song seems to make everybody that hears it contemplate the eternal. Jackie is a unique gift to humanity, i can't tire of hearing her voice. xxxxxxxxxx
I love to listen to anything that Jackie sings, especially the songs of praise and Christmas. Just the sound of her voice chokes me up and brings tears. But Danny Boy is already a sad song, and hearing Jackie with her Angel voice singing it, it fills my heart with a profound, overwhelming sadness. Not merely a lump in my throat and a tug at my heart, I mean a deep painful feeling inside. Because of this, I don't return to view this video that often. The plain truth is that Jackie's performance of Danny Boy makes me hurt deeply. I don't know if others feel this also, but I don't think I'm the only one. Jackie Evancho, the Little Angel.
I've heard singers synchronize their vibratos. Jackie melds her voice with the trumpet on the last note. You can't distinguish one from the other
I wish Deanna Durbin was alive to listen to that ... How come everything this child touches turns into gold.
This is excellent, and the video is wonderful, but Deanna Durbin was the owner of this song.
OMG,,,I’m mesmerized of this song and the singer,listening here in Sacramento.CA
I cannot listen to this without tears...and I mean tears! Her voice is absolutely haunting and so beautiful. It reaches in your soul. I only wish they would allow the song to completely finish before ending the video. Cut off too abruptly it jolts the tranquility of the journey through this incredible song....sung by the incomparable Jackie Evancho.
Durbin or Durham do not come close to Ms. Evancho. The beauty of You Tube provides us with easy access to compare all three. Jackie adds warmth and a powerful high notes that satisfies the feeling this song demands. Only 10 and beyond description. In time the measure of her talent will stand the test. Not Pop or Rock and Roll. Classical-Crossover is all hers.
+Lorenzo Hernandez Have you heard Hollie Steel sing this? She does it acapella and with more power and emotion than Jackie.
Lorenzo Hernandez Did you even listen to Hollie? What do you mean she can't hit that high note? I almost sounds like she's singing in a slightly higher key than Jackie. I assure you her high register is much stronger than Jackie's.
@@Ihdc1 I am no JE fan, but I listened to HS and of the two, Ms. Evancho is better. Ms. Steel is uneven, weak, and really (to me) quite unremarkable. Ms. Evancho has the basis of a voice, though her singing suffers from sameness (as in every song she sings sounds like the one before and after), and her diction is very odd, contrived and annoying at times, but overall, vocally, she has (at least at this stage) a better instrument than Steel and has focused on a style which seems to suit many people.
You cavalierly dismiss two singers with real voices, especially Durbin, who not only had a voice, but knew how to sing.
@@mmjhcb Wow!! A post critiquing and/or criticizing Jackie that has a positive nature to it from RMPsumma. You must be mellowing as you have aged. (I do hope you recognize by name from my many criticisms of you)
SHE IS ONE BEAUTIFULL YOUNG LADY WITH A GIFT OF GOLD,SHE IS AWESOME
At 1:52, my shoulders tightened up involuntarily - I was braced for a note that was sharp, flat or harsh in some way because it happens so often with this song. How marvelous it was to hear that perfect, pure and effortless sound!
At 3:30 I was totally relaxed, already secure in the ability of this astounding young girl. Her voice coach must be immensely proud of how she's learned to sing - she has not wasted a moment of their time. Magnificent singer.
Wow....so haunting yet so beautiful. Only Jackie's voice can touch me in such a deep place and bring the tears.
Jackie could simply open her mouth and make a cat screaming sound beautiful
La mejor interpretación que conozco de esta popular canción irlandesa, y además de una niña.
Cada palabra que pronuncia es como un ángel para los oídos.
That’s was brilliant
Yep Jackie did it again,made my glasses fog up.listening to Jackie is Better than
using eyedrops,tears of joy are much more soothing than eyedrops
Just magnificent . I hope that comes out on a CD someday.
For those of you that haven't seen Jackie Evancho in person let me tell you that she sings as naturally live as anything you hear that is recorded.
She doesn't always sound exactly the same and she does have better days at times but essentially she just belts these songs out in a real and genuine way on stage and live.
I have never been as blown away by an artist as her in a live show and Ive seen a few of the greats. Even the very best seem to lose their edge with live performances.
Absolutely gorgeous is not the word that describes this.
Awesome rendition for one so young in age. God bless
An awesome rendition for anyone of any age!
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL
Beautiful! So soothing. Simply lovely.
Jackie is simply an angle from heaven
She's a beautiful young girl and a amazing voice ☘️
Magic rendition !!!
Thinking of a special danny boy tonight
beautiful.
Danny Boy é uma música linda e melancólica e na performance de Jackie ficou de uma beleza indescritivel!
The Emerald Isle is where I want to go when my time here expires and be with my kinfolk forever.
I keep forgetting to breathe.
Just beautiful
