@Amiduffer I don't find this disrespectful in the slightest. It's not even that lighthearted. The song doesn't have to be performed in somber gospel style to convey that kind of emotion. His lead vocal is passionate and meaningful, and none of his other parts are meant to be funny. Sorry, but there is no one way to "properly perform" this song. You can't take offense to creativity, especially not of this magnitude. This arrangement is a masterpiece, not an abomination.
Smiling!!! JB great job!!! I see you have incorporated some instruments and this songs shows that you have many styles of arranging wow! that ending get a standing ovation!!!!! bravo!!!!!
Absolutely awesome! I love the stories of the Old Testament, especially the Exodus. As in it was in the days of Egypt, so it is today in this Babylon system. I pray oh Father that you awaken your people and call them forth out of this wicked system. Lead us into the land of your righteous promise. Call your people that they come out quickly, that they may praise your name and return to your righteous ways.
Love it! Best version! We're studying Life of Moses this year in BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) and we're going to attempt singing this at our Leaders' Mtg!
(Je sais pas si je dois commenter en anglais ou en français...) C'est super, merci ! Super carré, extrêmement musical et plein d'énergie et d'humour. Bravo bravo. Une reprise à la hauteur du morceau !!
I've heard/seen seven or eight of your videos this evening, and am in heaven!! You are one TALENTED man, please keep singing, keep arranging, and keep spreading joy to the world!! Richard
I'm another English teacher who is dazzled by your performance -- and you've included a verse new to me, another delight. More, more! I'm now a happy subscriber.
You are realllllllllllllllly quite aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesome! I am smiling, I am crying, I am smilng. Oh my you are so talented, I hope you are using this gift for a profession. chris...
Wow, I had no idea you weren't a native English speaker, and I am an English teacher! Your pronunciation, especially for a jazz sound, sounds authentic and American. I'm very impressed with your singing and ability to arrange this. A great performance, really. Thank you very much.
JB, I love absolutely everything you post, and this is no exception. You're truly a talented (and clearly trained!) arranger. Thanks for putting this up!
Thanks for making my day! Terrific arranging, as usual. Many thanks for sharing and for keeping hope alive for the future of inspiring and high-quality vocal music. :)
loved your version! Very creative and inspiring! I am a singer and don't get excited about singers very often. Good luck to u and keep the music coming!
WOW! I just happened across your work as one of your vids came up next to mine doing "Black is the Color" ... these are all fantastic! Very impressive and a fantastic voice!
Great Job JB!.. Sang an arrangement of this in 1962--yours is better! Reminds me of mixed vocal and instruments that bands used to do in 1940's & '50"s-- all the musicians would join in VOCALLY..a lot of fun, and this is too. Congrats!
Magnifique! un pur moment de bonheur vocal. Merci JB!! Je vais encore me coucher à pas d'heure avec toutes ces bonnes vidéos!............ ;-)
Waouh...superbes harmonies...j'en frissonne encore !
J'adore! C'est en cherchant ce morceau sur TH-cam que j'ai découvert l'incroyable JB!
Beautiful vocal in great harmony!
Love it!

I've been looking for a version like this for YEARS and i just so happened to stumble upon this. Amazing!

Dude, you know SO MUCH about jazz chords and barbershop arrangements. For someone of our age (I'm probably the same age as you) it's something unique!
Fantastic voice and work..
