Sam Cooke would be proud. This man sang - I'm talking "saaang", the hell out of this song. Whether he knows my blues or not, he was feeling it in his spirit and that's undeniable.
This is insanely amazing. This guy deserves to be uplifted, this video deserves to be viewed by millions! They've been praising the wrong celebrities !!
I have loved this rendition since the day I watched it. I continue to search it out and share it. It is not only soulful but also so sincere with the children. Thank you. ❤️
I've been around for a long time, even sang in groups and then went out on my own. This guy's got what it takes. Fantastic voice & style. I can listen to his version of this song all day long. You rock, Mani.
wow!!! What a voice and soul!!! Brought me to tears thinking of me singing with my daughter in my arms. Hopefully it inspires other dads. Keeping singing brother!!!
So happy, I can now view this on TH-cam! Thank you. Please we need more of these soul tunes, they so suit your amazing talent! GOD Bless you & your beautiful family, Always! oxox
Wouaw Wouaw ... je tombe sous le charme! Quelle voix! Quel charme et quel beau cadeau d'amour pour ses petits tresors! Un tendre échange partagé entre père et fille. J'adore cette chanson et en plus elle est magnifiquement bien interprétée. Bravo et ça serait top de pouvoir en voir d'autres! Trop d'émotion... I LOVE IT
Something about soul music that penetrates and resonates the existence. The fact that he sang this with a child in his arms, hopeful and knowing change will come is awesome
This video is all over facebook. He is an amazing singer!! Let's continue to share it so he can our next big amazing Voice. Cause he definitely need to a career in singing. Mani Hoffman The Voice!
El mundo es un pañuelo......he seguido a este artista desde hace tiempo y ahora resulta que nos saludamos cada mañana para llevar a los peques al cole!!!!! Eres un Crack!!!! Voz High level
wow really amazing, saw a gentleman loving musik and her family, music its in the blood my mom say, and being a writter show me, i can write and then i can sing everything my soul feel....
Hmph! Show-off! lol. Just kidding lol. If I could ever sing like you, I would quit my job lol, but since I sound like an American Idol reject, I'll keep my job lol. This is one of my all-time favorites classics here :-)
I just love your voice! I found you today after someone posting this to facebook and it came as part of my feed. You sound amazing. I love how your kids are there and enjoying your voice too! I am a new fan!
I owe this man an apology. This was posted on facebook with a lag. I thought he was lip syncing. He is not....obviously. Great job on a great song by Sam Cooke.
Juste incroyable cette voix. Faudrait chanter ailleurs que dans votre salon cher Monsieur, vous méritez de compter parmi les plus belles voix ! J'espère sincèrement que vous soyez repéré . Merci pour ce délicieux moment. Quel talent vraiment WAWWWW (y) ENCORE ENCORE
Incredible ! "American Idol" wouldn't take you, you're probaby too "old" by their standards. However, "America's Got Talent" or "The Voice" would be fools not to take you. Audition !!
