He was amazing... he has been an inspiration for my life!! The first time I heard him sing I was completely blown away by his spirit and delivery!! Thanks for posting this, it makes me feel good to hear his voice!!!
Ain't too many people, hardly any, that can snatch a song from Whitney. It's usually Whitney that does the snatching. Now granted, even though he predates Whitney singing this, coincidentally, Whitney's version is more widely recognized. But just learning about him singing this song, he takes this to a whole nother level. Brotha took this!!!
David Peaston one of the greatest voices of his generation. Such range and vocal mastery. I was blessed enough to watch him win on the Apollo several times. Rest King, rest.
I have heard this song sung by Whitney Houston and the Four Tops.. This, right here... With all due respect to the aforementioned, is the best rendition I have ever heard, and frankly, I believe ever will hear. Just my opinion...
No argument. I've been thinking that somehow, "I Believe In You And Me" has not yet been "done." I could have done without some of David Peaston's embellishments toward the end of this rendition. The performance just didn't need them. But this is closer to what I was looking for. I hope, some day, I will hear someone sing this song, and it will simply destroy me. Maybe it's the arrangement. But somehow, everyone who sings this song gets seduced into doing too much or too little. I think pretty highly of Amber Holcomb's rendition on American Idol, about 9 years ago, when she was 18 years old. Unfortunately, I cannot find a complete studio version of Holcomb singing this, or any of the other songs she performed on Idol. Worse yet, somehow Holcomb has disappeared back into Texas, which is a frustrating mystery for me.
Soo many beautiful souls have come & gone , but their treasures and gifts of love will never be forgotten . R I P Mr.Peaston # We'll never forget your beautiful spirit & voice . ONE LOVE ❤
Its always amazing how God blesses people in so many ways and forms. This man didn't hold back, he gave his best and his all...OMG ! I He is in a class all by himself on this song.
My two mate's and myself would leave the nightclub early so we could catch his performance on showtime at the Apollo ❤ never since have i heard a voice that could move me like his. RIP David
And, I ask my father, God, to please allowing me His glory and Grace Of perhaps Witnessing Mr. David Peaston in concert, withn the Love And Graces of Heaven, some day; where our father, God, in all of his glory, and his only child., JesUs, My Savior, along witth my sister, Beryl Ann, and Myself and some others, Are Able to All observe, enjoy and witness the heavenely spirited, gifted, rejoycing, and Talented vocals of Singing artist, David Peaston; and then listen to it again and again; as we walk around heaven all day. Amen!
Wonderfull version but look at four tops honoring aretha franklin, the perfomance of Mr. Levi Stubb and the emotional last appareance when Aretha Franklin sing this song with the four tops and Levi stubb. This version make me cryin.

Yes it’s sad because it be soo many talented artists out but because they sound too much like a previous artists it’s a no if you ask me they both had totally different styles and totally different trademarks
As they should Luther was a master music man with a Heavenly voice .. I just hate the mainstream think there’s only room for one. There’s room for them all !! GIFTED men in song. David is a bad man!!!🙌🏽
Awesome talent. Unfortunately, 15 years in the future he would die from complications due to diabetes. Sad, and in most cases such deaths are entirely prevenatable.
Those strings are doing WAY too much from about half way in, they’re drowning him out and he’s having to fight them when they SHOULD be complimenting him, not trying to ‘win’ a battle!! Way to extra .
🤣 I was wondering when a Stan would come well at the time of me listening to David Peaston and realizing this song came out before Whitney I realized she got all the credit when David did it first (at this time I thought he was the originator of the song) so that’s why I put in the title “before Whitney”
@@djoldsoulkid3407 how is he an originator when it’s a Four Top song? You were so quick to jump into these comments in an attempt to make a moment that you don’t make any sense. You included Whitney’s name in the search for clout and clicks. Who tf would click on some random guy singing this song otherwise?
@@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona honey I’m not finna argue with you ON MY SHIT he wasn’t some random guy he was actually famous if you google “I believe in you and me original song” it shows Whitney (the last time I’ve checked) so again it was best for me to put that in the title to let people know she wasn’t the originator! And for your damn info most of the views came from HIS FANS so you can gone with that 🐎 💩
Whitney Houston version is better than this but no one and I mean no one is better than Levi Stubbs version! Levi Stubbs of the 4 Tops version is not only magical but it moves your soul!
Gotta admit all of the versions are immaculate! BUT I’ll pick the original and this Version over everything 😂 only but Whitney can make any song her song
David Peaston sang this a while before Whitney Houston wasn't it? Early 90's?
I believe it was the late 80’s

@@MountTheodore72 so actually she snatched it from him he did this song in ‘91 she did it in ‘96
I mean they both took it from the Four Tops who sang it first in 1983.
This is not just singing, it is the soul communicating in all its glory. R.I.P Mr. Peaston and thank you for sharing your gift.
David Peaston was something serious! One of the best singers ever..
Sure was!
David Peaston was the little brother of Fontella Bass ("Rescue Me"). Pride of St. Louis.
I believe he was also a teacher before he become famous.
Nobody sings or sung like David Peaston...LORD HAVE MERCY!
I totally agree. RIP David
Such a pure voice, and was so sorry to know he's no longer around.
Good God Almighty. ..What an Amazing voice..Just a pure sound..
Yessah!!!!! This guy was so underrated!!!
So, so true.
Him and Luther would have been great in a recording together
Omg right?!! His wife told me that Luther helped them through the music industry so I don’t know how they didn’t have a song together
This brought tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful song.🥰🥰🥰
I am crying now. His rendition is so masterful and soul shattering that it should have made anyone else pause b4 trying to emulate.
David Peaston one of the greatest voices of his generation. Such range and vocal mastery. I was blessed enough to watch him win on the Apollo several times. Rest King, rest.
Yes an underrated legend!!
I like David and Whitney's styles. RIP DAVID, WHITNEY AND A.J JOHNSON
Should have won and Emmy for this performance

It’s always Whitney and then others
@@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona - totally disagree. Whitney rushed the song. The Four Tops' version is the best.
@@JJN259 don’t you ever. Queen Whitney’s version is totally different from the Four Tops’s version. Both are iconic
One of the best voices I ever heard hands down.
The music industry is in DESPERATE need of singers like this brotha. I didn't say there ain't "none," but God knows they're very few and far apart.
Yup 🎤 bro was talented had the Apollo in a standard ovation on amateur night dude was a beast
@@djoldsoulkid3407 Indeed!!👍

Thank you for posting. We lost Mr. Peaston so soon that there was very few pictures or video materials to capture his beautiful voice.
His gift lives on , I’m still enjoying and listening David
Brother of Fontella Bass, who had a big hit with the song, Rescue Me.
Beautiful wedding song
Yes this one and "kissing you " by Faith Evans
Word you ain't lying! And imagine having David Peaston singing at the wedding! He would shut the event down!
So grand!! Oh. Why do they take all the good ones away so soon!!
Owned it!!
SIMPLY AMAZING!!! BRAVO!!
Omg GOD THE FATHER LET THE WORLD SHARE WITH US THIS OUTSTANDING VOICE AND TALENT OF Mr. David Peaston.# Gone To Soon.

Que perfeito, não conhecia outro anterior a Whitney que a tivesse interpretado.🤩
Check out the Four Tops version of this song! Breathtaking
Gifted
Wonderfull version but look at four tops honoring aretha franklin, the perfomance of Mr. Levi Stubb and the emotional last appareance when Aretha Franklin sing this song with the four tops and Levi stubb. This version make me cryin.

Just wave'n my hand...
Beautiful blessings
Brilliant....
They could have closed the apollo for the night , after that performance...
Right 🤣
Amen to that
Actually The Four Tops originally recorded this song before Whitney .And is the best version with the great Levi Stubs
Him and Sylvester would've been great in a duet.
It’s soo many could’ve been Ms with his career it’s crazy
This mans voice was golden but everyone was up Luther's butt at the time and they only allow one to get through at a period.
Yes it’s sad because it be soo many talented artists out but because they sound too much like a previous artists it’s a no if you ask me they both had totally different styles and totally different trademarks
Yes, I agree about the Luther statement. Peabo Bryson was just as good as Luther.
Word that is true. And dont forget Freddie Jackson, whose music loved as well!
As they should Luther was a master music man with a Heavenly voice .. I just hate the mainstream think there’s only room for one. There’s room for them all !! GIFTED men in song. David is a bad man!!!🙌🏽
Luther Vandross deserved all the recondition he got
Espetacular!!??🎉🎉🎉
Mon dieu magnifique !!!!
YES

Do you have David Peastons very first appearance on live at the Apollo I’ve been long for that for years!
I do not but I’m sure his wife do or it’s on TH-cam

Whitney Houston tore it up now as well
Those strings are doing WAY too much from about half way in, they’re drowning him out and he’s having to fight them when they SHOULD be complimenting him, not trying to ‘win’ a battle!! Way to extra .
This was in '91....this sounds great to me for this live performance!! Seems the Apollo crowd were impressed also!
He's good , Whitney also was good but Levi Stubb the original singer of this song was GREAT 😃😃
No lies there lol

Shut up

DIABETES! KILLED THIS MAN. ( The song here is far too overproduced )
This song was perfectly done for him and his style....in '91 live, unless you 'killed' it you got booed off and he indeed did!
@@abs117a a lot of people is complaining about “too many runs” that’s what he was known for! That’s what kept the audience staying on their feet
Shut up
The Four Tops song the original song back in the 1982...David Peaston song it in the early 1990's and Whitney Houston a couple years later.
