Hello Everyone 👋🏾‼️ thank you so much for the continued support and love. I’ve listened to your comments and I’ve done a rendition without the extra background noise. It can be found at th-cam.com/video/kKG6KXc87ZI/w-d-xo.html
I hate when people are talking when someone is singing.. like why can’t y’all just admire the amazing voice in front of you, just take it in, feel the music.
Edward Raven you’re so right. If I heard this guy singing in person, I’d be so quiet, and not just because of manners wise, but because like who wouldn’t be speechless you know?
It makes me SO sad that this young man is so amazingly talented, and yet people are chatting in the background. People, a live performance like this is a rare thing. Appreciate it!
This is a great example of life. Someone can have a vast amount of talent, spend immeasurable time working but it doesn’t mean those around you will appreciate or Respect it and if not careful one can be distracted and pulled away from their gift surrounding themselves with people not invested in that growth
Everyone that's commenting about how he's not better than Sam Cook. That wasn't the question! They said he killed it and I think he did also!! Good job young man!! Awesome voice!
Latoria Jackson Folks need to Chill Out. Nobody wants to compete with Sam Cooke! This young brutha was just exercising his OWN talent. You'd think folks would be able to appreciate that!
Sam would be very proud of the you brother, he is going to have a long career, I hope someone picks him up, if not already. He does not have to sound better than Sam, he has his own gift. SING MY YOUNG BROTHER
@@dansefureva7664 I hope so cause we need this kind of music especially now! It seems to me that things are getting worse by the minute. God bless this young man.
It's a cover.. people... No he doesn't sound Exactly like Sam Cooke but he did do a magnificent job. Hell most kids at 16 don't even know who Sam Cooke was and for this young man to sing with the passion in his voice should make everyone listening proud.
He sure understood inside when he listened and learned this song (we assume from Sam Cooke's version). Billy Davis Jr of the 5th Dimension also did a profound version of it in the late 60s.
It’s funny because the same people laughing and talking while he was singing are gonna be the main ones talking about they knew him when he becomes big. This generation has to do better.
Tatianna Tierra 😂😂😂 take your lil ghetto ass of the internet with that bullshit. Appreciate him for the song not for the rude ass kids being kids. I guarantee you’re one of the people you talk about, because that’s just how society is nowadays. If you feel some type of way over some guy telling you to calm down on TH-cam you’re the problem, and he’s right you don’t even know what they laughing at so stfu and calm your little ass down because you ain’t scaring nobody talking like that.
He does not have an old soul... He does not know the change in which Mr. Cooke was speaking. Anyone can act out their part but very few can actually see what there are really doing. He can sing but he does not know that song!
When he hit that note and his hands started moving and he stood up, the black dad in me silently yelled "you better sing that shit boa"😭😭😭this kid is cold hope he puts his talents to use and goes far💯💯💯💯
@@billrobbins5874 I agree. As a Gma I wanna feed this boy and give him a huge hug. Such a remarkable voice. I wish him love and happiness. He better keep singing cause God gave him that.
Yes, he did it. This young generation doesn't understand the meaning of the words. For you simple minded children laughing at him, this young man has character and a resonating voice. Be quiet and listen.
Alex H that’s okay if u believe that but u don’t have to try to bring another person down because u don’t believe in what they believe. We are all human and we are more alike than not alike
This song has meaning and it’s a shame kids don’t listen to the words. This kid gave me chills he totally understands what it means. Omg Dude has a beautiful voice.
Yeah, it IS a shame that, seemingly, the majority of the younger generation doesn't understand the real meaning of this song. Personally, for me, growing up, this particular song has always, and I mean ALWAYS, got me in my feelings. Wonderful cover, and, again, for me--still the same meaning. Nothing but love, here.
Of course it does have meaning I lived it in the south and every day for this young man to sing it the way he did was so healing for me the word are painful but he made them so beautiful.
Sooo I’m 72 and I just want to mention that during my lifetime there have been a whole lot of changes, most for the better. Young people can’t imagine what life was like long ago, and to tell the truth, that’s a good thing. Talk to granny and gramps, they can tell you. And I hope your lives just get better and better as time goes on.
There is a whole lot of ugliness in the world right now. I’m asking you not to be a part of it. Hold your head above that. A lot of people have sacrificed to make things better. Learn from it and profit by it. Don’t dishonor our hero’s. God keep you and yours safe from harm.
This is why i could never stand high school; always surrounded by a bunch of haters tryna belittle your talents. Props to this brother for singing his soul out 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@Aaron i mean he's right high school is always like that, those kids probably have a lot of insecurities, the only thing that boy can do is keep being himself
I've loved Sam Cooke since I was a child in the 60s. Still listen to him everyday. He would have loved this rendition from this talented young man. Beautiful voice, you've got to be good to perform this song with the emotion it needs. Well done young man, a pleasure to hear you sing. Georgina from the UK xxx
I’m a 80’s baby and I agree with EVERYTHING you said lol. Shout out to my dad for putting me on to Sam lol and this kid here!!! I stood up when he stood up that baby killed it and yup 👍 Sam would have been very impressed
He has an old soul. He sang the hell out of this song. He killed it, breathed life back into it and killed it again. Where did he get such a strong soulful voice from? He did a marvelous job singing this song. KUDOS YOUNG MAN, KUDOS!!!!👏🏾👨🏾🎤💙😇⚘👍🏾🖤🤗
The version you hear with Sam Cooke has been processed and tuned to Sound like it does on your radio. This young man is singing live no mic no processors no tuning.. Great job young brotha!!
He made me stand up out my chair when he hit that note ... lol my kids said " mama what's wrong" lol ... this young man has talent ... liked ta touched my soul with this one . #Godbless
Bill Hartnett i agree with you. He sang that song with soul. I think everyone will agree he did justice to the song. I believe Sam Cooke would be very proud.
Bill Hartnett nothing personal towards you, but Sam Cooke nor none of our loved ones not in heaven. People like to put dead folks in heaven which isn’t true. The Bible says those who are in Christ are asleep.
That moment he stands up the first time.. dang. And the growl that you feel in your spirit....Please Lord let Your will be done for this young man and bless him and his family. Those lucky young people in the room just didn't know. Thanks for posting though. Your voice is phenomenal. 🧡
there is always some person who has to insult people for no just reason, they are KIDS, they were excited and for my opinion they were acting their age. Even grown people get excited at concerts and they are in their 30s and 40s. look at how people act at Michael Jackson concerts they pass out and everything, this young man could be the star of the NEW age, don't insult people for just being people. you say undisciplined i say excited.
@@seriousblack5299 so because I called them undisciplined you equate that with insulting them?? Change your damn name cause you can't be 'serious'. Because I'm 'serious' about black excellence and progress I take the discipline of our youth very seriously. I gave a light hearted yet 'serious' critique of what I watched. It really wasn't that 'serious'. And you come running in with the kid gloves and grandma mittens. 🤦🏾♂️ *Bruh, I can't even take you serious* Have a good weekend ✌🏿
@@ceegee740 lol it was negative because y'all take it SMH... if it's heartbreaking for y'all take other people's opinions then maybe you shouldn't be on the internet
They’re kids, but yes it was annoying. The only stereotype that was represented was that of children being children. Please Don’t over sexualize our girls. All three of them were precious babies. Beautiful babies. Much love.
GPERZ208 thank you I just try to state facts, ppl forget babies and children are ultimately human too, the emotions can be tha same hurt is hurt joy is joy it ain’t age specific
Freaking silliness at its best and for dam show at the worst time imaginable...😒😒😒 GOD bless you young man! God's power and light be with you always🙏🙏🙏
This brother's power and control is his voice.... Just too much for some high school kids to appreciate. If he was in front of some older ppl they would be falling out in tears!!😘😍
I can't stand when people are laughing and not taking it serious with a song with so much meaning... He has such a phenomenal voice lord keep on favoring him❤
Come on children in the background, you need to realize when history is being made before your very eyes!!! Stop being blind and misinformed! It is time to wake up!!! That gentleman prayerfully will be somewhere on stages one day because he gets it! I am just saying....
@Real Talk that’s why I put it in quotation marks. Some may say that this isn’t cool or because he’s not rapping or singing some new R&B. Laughing is not the reaction to something like this if you think it’s cool
@Real Talk Lol what 😂 You sound miserable. I was just telling you why I put the comment. I didn’t even feel obligated to do it. I don’r have to explain anything. Shoulda known better when I saw your comment in all caps 🤦🏾♂️
wow! how can anyonyone not jump to attention and listen as soon as he starts singing? the girl in the background looks like she is sleeping...the young man behind him looks bored but too busy to pay attention to him....maybe they are treated to his talent often and take it for granted....glad someone had the thought to record him and put him on youtube for all of us...what a voice! what a soulful delivery! .......thanks for the treat!
@@latanyagreene2202 what are you saying thanks for....? Cause I know that wasn't you singing, and I know you're not saying thanks about your recording if that was you recording.
One of my greatest joys in life is people singing live but I didn't FEEL him either, Jaz. Once you put his age aside, there is NOTHING special about his voice. So many of his runs are off and forced. He will get better with time, I'm sure.
Kids these days don't know nothing. Parents don't know or don't teach them. My parents taught me the meaning to this song. N I grew up listening to all of sam Cooke music. I still play this music. It never gets old. ♥️♥️♥️
Very rare for natural vocals to be sat almost perfectly on pitch for a whole verse, let alone the whole song. Real gift. Definitely grew up with lots of music around him.
I can’t stop watching this this young man what a fabulous voice you’ve got I’m a 76-year-old and I just love soul music much love from New Zealand originally from Wales
Amazing!!! He has that voice that can penetrate deep into your soul just like the late, great Sam Cook!!! I hope someone produces an album for this young man. He is definitely this generation's voice!!!
Yes sir.. he is going far..and thats when the GIGGLERS will say. I KNOW HIM..Hopefully somebody let's them know..ya..but you didn't appreciate him. YOUNG MAN..I APPRECIATE YOU.
This young singer has an incredibly beautiful God Sent Voice. I have been practicing this timeless Sam Cooke song for five Hispanic women wanting to learn English. They have joined the struggle for freedom in a foreign land. The Bible tells us to be kind to strangers. This spiritual song speaks of the slavery we all feel when our brothers and sisters are slaves. Thank you, young man for bringing Sam Cooke back to us!

This young man has originality. This song is not easy to sang. He feels it .
Exactly. He has feeling and depth to his voice that says he feels the words totally and he is of a newer generation.
It's not easy because it's a song you have feel with your heart and soul, not just "hear and copy." This young man feels it in his soul.❤
It's a cover.. people... No he doesn't sound Exactly like Sam Cooke but he did do a magnificent job. Hell most kids at 16 don't even know who Sam Cooke was and for this young man to sing with the passion in his voice should make everyone listening proud.
“Ditto” x 10000 !
Agreed!
Amen
If he has grandparents he knows who Sam Cooke is.
I Agree
Sam Cooke was a professional singer, this is a 16 year old kid who did a dam good job. Good job young brother 👍🏾.
He doesn’t have to sound like Sam Cooke because he isn’t Sam Cooke. He killed it regardless.

Exactly.

I wonder if they could record closer to him
Yoooo we got Preacher Lawson up in here!
Yoo no way the goat preacherlawson
Brooooo!
🤣🤣
Remember you America's got talent
WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT HE SOUNDS BETTER THAN MR. SAM COOKE PEOPLE...HE STILL SOUNDS GOOD THOUGH RELAX...!!!
They changed the title
Yea good but not Sam cook
@Isjiane nobody didn't say he didn't sound good... Like I said not Sam Cook tho.
@Isjiane well if he sings this song with the same pitch and tone he does sound like he is dumbass
@@ceegee740 lol it was negative because y'all take it SMH... if it's heartbreaking for y'all take other people's opinions then maybe you shouldn't be on the internet
The moment he stood up, I was like yea this guy is a different breed.
A blessed gift that young man has. Spectacular voice.
This kid sings from his soul. Young women lets not fit the stereotype, when someone is performing show your home training and zip it .
I WAS THINKING the SAME THING...kids will be KIDS..
Amen
They were showing their home training, simply disrespectful. Talented young man.
😂😂💯
They’re kids, but yes it was annoying. The only stereotype that was represented was that of children being children. Please Don’t over sexualize our girls. All three of them were precious babies. Beautiful babies. Much love.
This young man is anointed by God! He indeed has a wonderful voice but that anointing is powerful. Let God use you son.
this baby ain't old enough to have that much passion while singing this song
Just God Given Talent🎶🎶🗣️
Life can be hard at any age and passion can lay in children
@Greeneyes humbled I want to ❤ your comment
GPERZ208 thank you I just try to state facts, ppl forget babies and children are ultimately human too, the emotions can be tha same hurt is hurt joy is joy it ain’t age specific
That baby will break your back women be careful what you wishforrr
I started to cry & it gave me goose bumps all over my body. This young man can sing!!
Youngblood please share your gift with the 🌎 we need it.
those kids really dont appreciate how stone cold good that kid is
More like they don't recognize talent cause they so used to Mumbles jumbles hook beats 💁🏾♀️ it was definitely #ENVY
AINT THAT SAD...SMH
Your 200th like
Freaking silliness at its best and for dam show at the worst time imaginable...😒😒😒 GOD bless you young man! God's power and light be with you always🙏🙏🙏
Replying to this comment itself and others, why do you think this isn’t appreciated by the younger audience in the video?
This brother's power and control is his voice.... Just too much for some high school kids to appreciate. If he was in front of some older ppl they would be falling out in tears!!😘😍
@Aaron that's true
I'm literally in tears now
I was like..." Those kids need to shut up, "" I'm trying to hear." Then, I realize... Kids are childish. Lololol. Siiiing
You're Very Right
@Alton Alexander Yes A Very Talented Young Man.
If I could sing like this I swear to god I would never stop. Watching him smile while singing makes it all the better. Love it.
I can't stand when people are laughing and not taking it serious with a song with so much meaning... He has such a phenomenal voice lord keep on favoring him❤
Kimmi kisses He’s singing this song from his heart and not even hearing these rude people in the background 🙏🏾
👌
I'm glad he ignored them noise ass ppl in the background... and he still performed so well and song beautifully.
He felt what he was singing that young man done been thru some thangs and he was blowing he was brought up in the church keep it up shorty 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wow!! Such an amazing voice, it touched my soul. That is a God given talent!! Keep on singing young man, use your talent to bring joy to people.
Come on children in the background, you need to realize when history is being made before your very eyes!!! Stop being blind and misinformed! It is time to wake up!!! That gentleman prayerfully will be somewhere on stages one day because he gets it! I am just saying....
Willie Scott they just don’t understand the true meaning of what Sam Cooke wa saying or the way this young man pour it all out , but we do !!!!
Amen🙏🏽
This song has always been a written masterpiece as well as a musical masterpiece, I’m glad we agree on this
Exactly
Willie Scott they just want some of the attention! Such talent taken for granted!
All I can say is WOW you sound great. I wish there was no talking in the back ground.
Exactly!
Messy ladies
Disrespectful audience SMDH
Facts
Awesome voice but background was ghetto and annoying😕
Those girls are laughing nervously trying to cover up the fact that the “not so cool” kid is winning their soul with that singing. That boy going!
@Real Talk that’s why I put it in quotation marks. Some may say that this isn’t cool or because he’s not rapping or singing some new R&B. Laughing is not the reaction to something like this if you think it’s cool
@Real Talk Lol what 😂
You sound miserable. I was just telling you why I put the comment. I didn’t even feel obligated to do it. I don’r have to explain anything. Shoulda known better when I saw your comment in all caps 🤦🏾♂️
@@Unchained_Mind85 He just wanted attention lmao, I get what you said. Totally agree man XD
@Real Talk chill out
most def
wow! how can anyonyone not jump to attention and listen as soon as he starts singing? the girl in the background looks like she is sleeping...the young man behind him looks bored but too busy to pay attention to him....maybe they are treated to his talent often and take it for granted....glad someone had the thought to record him and put him on youtube for all of us...what a voice! what a soulful delivery! .......thanks for the treat!
He needs to be on the voice or America’s Got Talent I was tearing up 🥺👏🏼
I listen to it over and over for months and I tear up every time
Unfortunately, they would steal his soul and shape him to fit the industry.
This boy sing the hell out this song
Real special thanks
@@latanyagreene2202 what are you saying thanks for....? Cause I know that wasn't you singing, and I know you're not saying thanks about your recording if that was you recording.
You don't have to say thank you. God gave you a voice used it. And you song the hell out this song 😀😇
LoL
Nobody ever asked or said he was better than Sam but this young man did a damn good job. He's making the home team proud
That was so beautiful nice voice my favorite songs thank you
That room didn’t FEEL him like I wanted them to and it’s upsetting me and my homegirls 😒‼️
Oh dear, cry us a river,
why don't you? 🙄😒....
Their too young/disconnected from the struggle to understand n appreciate the song.
They don't understand it... that's why😩
Jaz'lynn Britt well you know...they’re young, and he is too but in a total diff place.
One of my greatest joys in life is people singing live but I didn't FEEL him either, Jaz. Once you put his age aside, there is NOTHING special about his voice. So many of his runs are off and forced. He will get better with time, I'm sure.
Vocals and the ability to express the emotions of the song. Mark my words. He will make it if he wants it.
By
yes
Kids these days don't know nothing. Parents don't know or don't teach them. My parents taught me the meaning to this song. N I grew up listening to all of sam Cooke music. I still play this music. It never gets old. ♥️♥️♥️
Very rare for natural vocals to be sat almost perfectly on pitch for a whole verse, let alone the whole song. Real gift. Definitely grew up with lots of music around him.
I can’t stop watching this this young man what a fabulous voice you’ve got I’m a 76-year-old and I just love soul music much love from New Zealand originally from Wales
Amazing!!! He has that voice that can penetrate deep into your soul just like the late, great Sam Cook!!! I hope someone produces an album for this young man. He is definitely this generation's voice!!!
Most definitely like sams
My br you got it keep going god bless
He's a freaking beast, and he hasn't even landed yet. I hope he goes very far
This young man definitely would make Sam Cooke proud to hear such soulfulness in this young man great job.
when a person who can "sang" and draw the attention of generations he has has potential to be a musical legend.
😍😍😍 Sam Cooke would be so proud
When u get chills
That’s when u no someone can sing!
For ur thing youngster!!!
Everytime i visit this video i cry. Man this is just amazing
This young man truly has a beautiful gift from God. Sing on young man never give up.
He so young but his voice got like that old tone to it...If you know what I mean
You mean like he’s an old soul. He has been here before
Who's to say that our young doesn't feel the pain and souls of our elders. This young man took me home. He blew Sam Cook.
Well Said n Amen to that as well 🙏🙏
Done to perfection. I really hope this young man is doing great things in life. True talent is such a beautiful thing❤❤
I hope this man knows that those who’ve heard him sing this specific song in that specific way... were moved so strongly.
Yes sir.. he is going far..and thats when the GIGGLERS will say. I KNOW HIM..Hopefully somebody let's them know..ya..but you didn't appreciate him. YOUNG MAN..I APPRECIATE YOU.
Buenas..Talaabwog in da house..🤙🤙
He definitely can sing sounds great Sam just was a bad man this doesn’t take away from this teen blowing
Mfn rite
It certain you didn't now Sam Cook. Bad was not who he was. Do research
His classmates don't even know what he singing about, he on a nother Level
marquetta hellamns he’s wayyy more mature than those girls😳
@@26nbtr how do you know? Do you say that because they're recording?
@tone P How are you really about hate? Becaus he sounds better then you ever will?
A WHOLE 'NOTHER LEVEL!!!!
tone P sound miserable get a life
This young singer has an incredibly beautiful God Sent Voice. I have been practicing this timeless Sam Cooke song for five Hispanic women wanting to learn English. They have joined the struggle for freedom in a foreign land. The Bible tells us to be kind to strangers. This spiritual song speaks of the slavery we all feel when our brothers and sisters are slaves. Thank you, young man for bringing Sam Cooke back to us!
