Originally from the musical "The Wiz," performed by Stephanie Mills, and sung by Diana Ross in the movie adaptation. Enjoy! Manny mannygarciamusi... / mannygarciamusic / mannygarciamusic / mannygarcia / ebgarcia3
Here's the thing: usually when someone does a rendition of a song on TH-cam, the singer makes the song all about his/her vocal abilities. It's especially gut-wrench when you hear a song you dearly love sung utterly selfishly. This is not one of those occasions. I really, really love what you did with this song. You paid it great respect but also showcased your incredible vocal range and tone. Keep at it! Great job!
That was both beautiful and amazing. On tempo, pitch, emotion, no excessive vocal runs...sung the way it was intended and written. You picked the perfect key to sing in which leaves out any strained sounds, sharps or flats. And your voice have a great tonal quality that makes it such a pleasure to listen to. Your voice is YOUR gift and you chose to share it with us. Thank you.
This was one of my auditions song, I could never keep a dry eye every time I sang it. I was living in LA and so home sick....missing my family and friends and being there on my own. Later, "On My Own" was another song that did this to me as well. Gosh the memories. You did a great job with this.
I enjoyed it on Glee; as a young girl, I saw Stephanie Mills in the original cast and it became one of my favorite songs and Broadway shows....u r an amazing talent;, you sing effortlessly like John Legend....bravo !
I couldn't help but listen to some more of you. The Wiz is one of my favourite films and I love this song and you do it perfectly. Again you amaze me with your voice. Fantastic!
Great job!!! Especially impressive how you were able to sustain the note at the end. I give voice lessons and think I've just found another example of certain vocal techniques demonstrated. You are very vocally talented and express the emotions of the song perfectly (and playing the piano too...go head!!!)
Thank you for sharing your gift. This is one of my favorite songs and you brought tears to my eyes. Continue with this amazing talent you have! Thank you.
To be honest I was looking for a version done from a man in this song and I am really happy he has done it... and you know what it doesnt hurt to listen to him, he is really good and I wish that he will make it one day..!!! If is good.. Of course.. did you see how he hold the last note 16 times... he is realllyyyy!!!! GOOOOODDDD...
I know this video is 2 years old, but I recently watched the original video of Diana Ross, in The Wiz, singing this and decided to look for male covers (as I prefer a male singing voice). I think your cover is absolutely mindblowing! I love your other videos too. You have a lovely voice. :)
Thank you for sharing this awesome song. I have been looking for songs to sing in Australia's Got Talent - and this song always comes back to me - You have done a most wonderful job! Inspiring, easy to listen to, just beautiful! Blessings to you!
Thank GLEE for my visit~ Kristen Chenowith introduced me to this song, so I went looking for the history of this wonderful, wonderful song. Now I know it's from "The Wiz"! Kristen made me cry, Diana's live version made be proud and you made me smile from ear to ear. Beautiful take~
you are an amazing singer and you should be on glee!!!!!!!! you have the best voice ever and defently have a career in music with your piano playing too!!
