Listen to him sing..."Let Freedom Ring"!! That one will blow you away!! But him singing oh holy night just gives me goosebumps and tears because it is just so gloriously beautiful!!!
This group of folks are southern gospel singers/groups. Bill and Gloria Gaither the OG's of southern gospel. I grew up with their music. Our little home church choir in Indiana joked that if Bill Gaither didn't write it, we didn't sing it. Lol btw piano is Anthony Berger. He passed away while playing the song, " We shall behold Him". A song about when we see Jesus face to face. 😇
David is a master of music and a master vocalist. And everyone you seen there behind him is professional gospel singers which is their job. They're not just run of the mill Church singers they travel around the nation singing full time. Now, Bill Gaither has a full Orchestra including an organist. But all the music just like the piano was done live which was probably back behind the singers. But all these groups singing is from an era going by which is my era 60 70s and 80s. Some in the 50s. But you can find David Phelps just by telling Google to show you the Gaither Vocal Band featuring David Phelps and it'll bring up a whole bunch of songs and of different genres. Because other than southern gospel and contemporary gospel he also does Opera. And the man is talented and phenomenal. And I invite you and challenge you to check out him and the Gaither Vocal Band and listen to them sing. But good job on your reaction.
Nope. This is how these live shows go! I’ve heard David sing this song live many MANY times and it’s just as amazing each time! When this was filmed, the standing ovation lasted almost 10 minutes. David is AMAZING. He also sings with the Gaither Vocal Band. They do a live show in Australia where David leads on a song called “These Are They” ABSOLUTELY LIFE CHANGING!!! Several years ago, this voice kept me from killing myself. His voice is a true gift 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks for the recommendation. Will check that out shortly. More importantly, I pray you are still with us. Jesus is the Light, the Truth, the Way. For HE IS. Let him guide you. He loves you and filled by Him you will feel loved. And you can accept his grace and the gifts of all gifts - the true meaning of CHRISTmas. May the Lord be with you.
Hey Jarvis! If you look back when Mr. Phelps starts hitting the higher notes near the end of song there is a man directly behind Mr. Phelps in a red shirt and black jacket ok? At one point he kinda looks like he does a little hop/jump movement and bows over ( like he's feeling the Holy Spirit!) That is MARK LOWRY and he wrote the song MARY DID YOU KNOW along with Buddy Greene. Famous and extremely gifted singer, songwriter, comedian in the Christian Gospel Music Association. Sang predominantly with The Bill Gaither Vocal Band, as did/ sometimes still does David Phelps. Mr Phelps and Mr Lowry are multiple award winning artists. Awesome reaction and yes David Phelps is well worth checking out further! Thanks! Would you please react to Home Free in their version recently released " MARY DID YOU KNOW? " It's different from other versions, well because it's Home Free in their style and it has some cool Adam Rupp percussions! Thanks from your South Georgia Home Free Home Fry Friend! 😀❤️🍟 Oh and thanks for introducing me to Dirty Loops!😀
Your descriptions are great! Awesome reaction! Please, do more David Phelps, you won't be disappointed. You should check out his cover of Whitney's "I Have Nothing"... (just a head's up, he's age 52 in it, which is astounding). There's no shortage of incredible David Phelps' performances. No More Night, We Shall Behold Him, The Dream, Nessun Dorma, He's Alive... tons of great ones. He's one of the greatest male vocalists ever, to be sure. And he's even better in person, which I highly recommend to everyone.
You are right that it seemed like it was arranged for a church setting. That choir was made up with the "Best of the Best' in Southern Gospel and Quartet performers, and this is their ministry.
I have seen David live in concert 11 times now, met him 8 times, met his family and been to his home twice for the Barn bash concerts. he is easily the best male vocalist in the world and has been for more than the past twenty years. He is also so humble and gracious...
I had the pleasure of sitting in the front row of a David Phelps concert one time. It was literally a religious experience. I will never ever forget it. I was 14, now I’m 23, and it’s still one strongest memories I have. How could it not be when you hear that kind of power 10 feet from you.
Amazing rendition - one of the best ever! And very insightful reaction. I watched lots of Gaither Gospel Hours in my younger years with my Mom...this is the ONLY time Bill Gaither ever pulled an artist back out for an extended ovation. He, and everyone else on that stage, and in the audience, knew how special what they had just experienced was.
I could write a book about this song! It was my wife''s favorite Christmas song. We had the VHS of this concert. It was tradition. She passed Dec. 9th of last year. Last year, was the first time I didn't play it in 25 years. I cried the whole video, but thanks for reacting to it!
I pray our Heavenly Father holds you close, eases your pain, gives you strength, and that you may feel Him walking beside you, sharing your grief and giving you hope, my brother.
I lost my love one last year too . But I learn from my experience that we need keep praising our Lord despite this earthly affairs, sorrows, guilt, remorse . That is the only way I can endure . Many will pray for you that God strength your faith . From California sister in Christ.
Wow! I’ve watched reactions to this probably a thousand times. I search TH-cam specifically for reactions to this performance by David and I’ve never heard anybody describe the ebb and flow feeling that David uses for most of the song. Great reaction!! Also, I think what is missed by many with that powerful transition where the entire chorus comes in is the ever powerful pipe organ! That thing REALLY provides such emotion! Edit: I added that last sentence before finishing watching your reaction, haha. You mentioned the pipe organ, too! BRAVO, sir!!
Love love love your reaction! The Spirit moved. My prayer is that you seek the Lord and learn about His goodness. This is why David is so compassionate when he sings and turns his talent into a gift from God. ❤
David does his own arrangements. He is a graduate of Baylor University in Texas. He majored in music including operatic. As a Christian he sings mostly gospel. The piano player is the late great Anthony Burger. BTW.. You want to hear what he can do with those chops? Listen to him sing "No More Night"
I have listened to this performance (my favorite of all time) over 20 times to hear the reaction of music professionals like you, and your reaction was the very best. You were so spot on, especially when you caught that he did not hold a 9/6 measure, and he did it purposely. With just an excellent piano accompaniment he had the flexibility to use his amazing voice to bring out the strong emotions of a great song he felt deeply. You are a true professional because this is a difficult performance to appreciate if you are a voice coach who demands full phrasing in perfect meter. You were astute enough to explain that his breathy tones and slight pause made the performance so dramatic. It still moves me after hearing it more times than I can unashamedly admit to!
Hi there! Another little tidbit, the gentleman (wearing the red shirt and tie) behind and to the right of David is Mark Lowry. He wrote Mary, Did You Know.
Let's break this down. This young man is onstage performing in what looks like a sweater. Then after 6:23, he reaches for not a holy B flat or B natural but a C#. Not once but three times with resonance and not falling off pitch. DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your reaction. I love David's voice. Bill Gaither would have done the arrangement. Bill and Gloria are amazing songwriters, I grew up in a little town close to them, and our choir used to say, "If Bill wrote it, we will sing it"
I understand that you talk about WHO David Phelps is singing about, and David’s vocal ranges, BUT I am so happy that you also heard and paid attention to the LYRICS of this beautiful song😊.
I would Love for you to listen to David Phelps sing “I Have Nothing” which was the song Whitney Houston sang! David’s version is MAGNIFICENT!! It was performed in David’s home in his living room. BEAUTIFUL!!
No one, and I mean NO ONE, can sing this song like David Phelps can!! Of course, that goes for about every song he sings. He is definitely THE BEST! I’ve seen him in concert, and he’s even better live…if that’s even possible. If you get to go see him live…GO!!
David Phelps has performed So many songs and has written and arranged them himself. Wish you would listen to more of him! He is truly Gifted and his Amazing voice is truly the most gifted I have ever heard!!
Would love you to react to David Phelps version of Whitney Houston’s, “I Have Nothing !!” Your reactions are so well done!! I’m so impressed with your musical knowledge!!
Thanks for reacting to the greatest male voice on planet earth, David Phelps my brother. More please. You were saying it was very good. If that's just very good I want to be very good and everything I do LOL until next time, stay well
LOVE your reaction. This performance gives me goosebumps every time I hear it...and I listen to it often because I never tire of something this special. Blessings to you, Jarvis.
This is a Gaither Homecomming Concert. It was taped live and presented on TV back in 2000. I believe David Phelps and the amazing pianist Anthony Burger, unfortunately passed away not too many years later at about 46 years old. Bill and Gloria Gaither organized live concerts around the Country and several foreign Countries including Israel. The group which made up the chorus on that song are all very talented individual and groups who are mainly Contemporar Christian Artists. David did several solos in the concerts, then joined the Gaither Vocal Band which was comprised of several different artists over the years. David eventually formed his own group and even turned a barn on his property into a concert hall and puts on concerts there many time featuring a lot of the artists that performed with the Gaither Homecoming Concerts. Even 24 years later, David is still a spectacular artists and maybe the finest tenor on the planet right now.
He's fantastic tenor. And opera singer. From one professional singer to another. I went to Berkeley University music school of Boston for 5 years in opera and music appreciation and new England conservatory in Boston 5 years second mezzo soprano he has a beautiful range he goes from an A-E5. Fantastic
Hello JB - came across your channel last night. I've seen the Video before but was curious to watch your reaction. I'll say it this way. You have a new fan. Merry Christmas! Ed
I figured it had to be at least in 2000 if not earlier because Anthony Burger was still alive as was Jake Hess and Hovie Lister, and they all were passed away in the early 2000's.
Unfortunately Anthony the pianist passed in 2006 at 44, but he was one of the greatest ever. David is the greatest singer to ever walk the earth. Truly annointed by God himself.
Anthony Burger is the pianist, David and Anthony arranged this together. They played and sang to each others strengths. Anthony went home to be with the Lord in February 2006. They were a forced to be recond with.
David Phelps is 52 years old today and you need to listen to him sing Whitney Houston’s song, I Have Nothing! It is Spectacular! He sings it only with a cello and piano. YOU will Love it!!
P.s. Mr Jarvis. You mentioned Whitney Houston. Yes! And please hear WITHOUT YOU I'VE GOT NOTHING sung by David Phelps while he's accompanied by a çello and piano. Phelps will lift you up to heights unknown. Joy to you in the New Year. Respectfully yours, Gregg Oreo Long Beach CA etats unis
These folks are known as Gaither's Homecoming Friends. David sings tenor in the Gaither Vocal Band at this time in history, abt 2000. Many of the group are prof. singers. The Gaithers make videos and we buy them. This is worship to God -encouragement to us, -and entertainment to whomever. No one sings this song better than David, that I have heard, not even Mario Lanza. He is a very devoted Christian man as well. (I loved Mario Lanza's singing; and I have also compared this to many others including the three tenors.) Even David doesn't ever sing it better than this. This is a very special recording. But my opinion is not that significant, but don't tell anybody.
Let Freedom Ring by the Gaither Vocal band, with David was done just after 9/11 in Independance Hall and is the same quality as this. It just builds and builds. Perhaps listen even if you don't get a chance to react.
Some performances just need to be enjoyed without a "reaction" getting in the way. This is one of them, no offense. This arrangement is amazing! A little non-traditional, but perfect in every way. Love the channel.
Your point about arrangement for a gospel singer got me thinking about how genres and styles can transform a popular and old piece into something different. Even within Gospel music, a Hezekiah Walker would differ from a Tye Tribbett!
You should listen to The Gaither Vocal Band song, "The Love of God", featuring David Phelps, Guy Penrod, and a woman (can't remember her name...Joy something).
00:04:12. Mr Jarvis. Imagery. I call it ACTING. The Great singers don't just gush lyrics out of their mouths ....they are so aware of your word IMAGERY. Infact I coined an anagram P. A. P. A. as formula/ Theory/ Dynamic : based on Passion. Ardor. Preparation. ACTING... and if I can deliver that, just as an excellent A List Comic who knows how to sweep his audience into his energy field of story telling and empathy.... Then: I allow the SONG to sing itself through me, and, I can step aside and let the song make love to the minds and hearts of my audience. David Phelps knows the subtext of his songs....and because of that... He ignites Our joy, begins our teardrops and raises goosebumps on our arms. Sure. Sing. And. Remember to simultaneously ACT... 'IMAGERY -IZE". happy 2023 Dear Sir. Respectfully yours Gregg Oreo Long Beach CA etats unis
Bro i love you but GOD stepped in here and arrainged this perfectly. From reverant whisper to glorious exaltation devinely inspired and arranged for sure AMEN
Absolutely loved your reaction to David Phelps he is definitely a gifted vocalist. You should react to Whitney Houston's cover by David Phelps, I have nothing. Absolutely amazing. Thank you
![O Holy Night [Live] ft. David Phelps | Voice Coach Reacts & Deconstructs | EMOTIONAL](/img/n.gif)
No one will ever sing this better than David. You should hear some of his other ones....will blow you away!
Listen to him sing..."Let Freedom Ring"!! That one will blow you away!! But him singing oh holy night just gives me goosebumps and tears because it is just so gloriously beautiful!!!

David does a cover of Whitney's song I Have Nothing. Beautiful!!! From last year. At 52 his voice just gets better!
Yes, this is a much watch!

Everyone in the choir have their own careers in gospel music and are magnificent in the own singing.

It's different from other versions, well because it's Home Free in their style and it has some cool Adam Rupp percussions! Thanks from your

Very nice analysis. The use of his dynamic envelope to invite you in, is phenomenal.

Anthony Burger is definitely missed 😢. He was phenomenal on the piano
LOVED this reaction thank you. Interesting coming from a drummer's perspective.
Great comment on David’s version. Well done!
I can break a wine glass with my vocals
I can get rocks thrown at me with my vocals. 😅

Hi there! Another little tidbit, the gentleman (wearing the red shirt and tie) behind and to the right of David is Mark Lowry. He wrote Mary, Did You Know.
Two more from David, No Mor Night is phenomenal and david at Carnegie Hall singing The End of the Beginning is awesome
David Phelps is a very well know gospel singer with the Bill Gathier church family. A true blessing to the world.
THIS HERE !?!?!?!?!. THE BEST RENDITION EVER. NO ONE CAN BEAT THIS !
David does all his arrangements himself. So, those cudos go directly to him. He is all around awesome❣
Let's break this down. This young man is onstage performing in what looks like a sweater. Then after 6:23, he reaches for not a holy B flat or B natural but a C#. Not once but three times with resonance and not falling off pitch. DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The piano player's name is Anthony Burger. He died while playing for a Gaither concert of a massive heart attack. He wass 44. We miss him so much!
Love your reaction. I love David's voice. Bill Gaither would have done the arrangement. Bill and Gloria are amazing songwriters, I grew up in a little town close to them, and our choir used to say, "If Bill wrote it, we will sing it"
This is one of the best versions of O Holy Night. Love the content bro keep it up.
One of the best reax of this song I've seen. Excellent video.
Great reaction. Hes AMAZING
He still sounds exactly like this. Has more hair now 😂
This version of this song breaks me every single time. I can listen to it 20 times in a row, and the tears will still flow!
I understand that you talk about WHO David Phelps is singing about, and David’s vocal ranges, BUT I am so happy that you also heard and paid attention to the LYRICS of this beautiful song😊.
David Phelps is amazing but your reaction is probably the best I've heard.
I would Love for you to listen to David Phelps sing “I Have Nothing” which was the song Whitney Houston sang! David’s version is MAGNIFICENT!! It was performed in David’s home in his living room. BEAUTIFUL!!
Top Angelic Being right there!!! I've heard him do this on reactions and EVERYTIME I get those chills!! Love your reaction to David.
Great reaction! You NEED to react to David Phelps singing I Have Nothing.
Yes! Imagery! He acts out the lyrics! You can SEE what he is singing about in your mind!
You really, really need to listen to "Let Freedom Ring.". Omg he has the SPIRIT IN HIM!
Anthony Burger on the piano is seraphic
He sings Unchained melody. Different but Amazing
No one, and I mean NO ONE, can sing this song like David Phelps can!! Of course, that goes for about every song he sings. He is definitely THE BEST! I’ve seen him in concert, and he’s even better live…if that’s even possible. If you get to go see him live…GO!!
I believe the drummer on that track was Steve Brewster, Nashville Session Drummer 🥁
David Phelps has performed So many songs and has written and arranged them himself. Wish you would listen to more of him! He is truly Gifted and his Amazing voice is truly the most gifted I have ever heard!!
Would love you to react to David Phelps version of Whitney Houston’s, “I Have Nothing !!” Your reactions are so well done!! I’m so impressed with your musical knowledge!!
David isn't just good, HE'S FREAKIN AWESOME!!!
This was arranged by David himself. He has a degree in music performance from Baylor University.
Thanks for reacting to the greatest male voice on planet earth, David Phelps my brother. More please. You were saying it was very good. If that's just very good I want to be very good and everything I do LOL until next time, stay well
Praise Him in the key change!!
Awesome reaction!! Thank you!!

His musical treatment of 1st verse and chorus is called 'ad lib'
Thank you, thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful...
This didn't show up at all before somehow. Should have way more views! Great reaction!
The pianist passed away awhile back. He was awesome. Anthony Burger David is my favorite ever!!!
He's fantastic tenor.
And opera singer.
From one professional singer to another. I went to Berkeley University music school of Boston for 5 years in opera and music appreciation and new England conservatory in Boston 5 years second mezzo soprano he has a beautiful range he goes from an A-E5.
Fantastic
Jarvis, I highly recommend you do more David Phelps. You will be amazed!!!!
Great reaction!!
That's how my music professor tested me.
Hello JB - came across your channel last night. I've seen the Video before but was curious to watch your reaction. I'll say it this way. You have a new fan.
Merry Christmas!
Ed
This was a Christmas concert filmed at the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham, AL in 2000.
I figured it had to be at least in 2000 if not earlier because Anthony Burger was still alive as was Jake Hess and Hovie Lister, and they all were passed away in the early 2000's.
Unfortunately Anthony the pianist passed in 2006 at 44, but he was one of the greatest ever. David is the greatest singer to ever walk the earth. Truly annointed by God himself.
You need to check out his version of I have nothing. David Phelps is amazing!
Love how you describe what’s happening in this song. It makes so much sense.
David wrote a song "Hello Beautiful" it will tug at your heart strings.
Anthony Burger is the pianist, David and Anthony arranged this together. They played and sang to each others strengths. Anthony went home to be with the Lord in February 2006. They were a forced to be recond with.
Easily the greatest version of the song out there --- world class.
David Phelps is 52 years old today and you need to listen to him sing Whitney Houston’s song, I Have Nothing! It is Spectacular! He sings it only with a cello and piano. YOU will Love it!!
P.s. Mr Jarvis. You mentioned Whitney Houston. Yes! And please hear WITHOUT YOU I'VE GOT NOTHING sung by David Phelps while he's accompanied by a çello and piano. Phelps will lift you up to heights unknown. Joy to you in the New Year. Respectfully yours, Gregg Oreo Long Beach CA etats unis

These folks are known as Gaither's Homecoming Friends. David sings tenor in the Gaither Vocal Band at this time in history, abt 2000. Many of the group are prof. singers.

But my opinion is not that significant, but don't tell anybody.
I love your reactions. Jordan Smith's, Mary Did You Know, will move and impress you
Thanks for the reaction video. David Phelps is one of my all time favorites, check out his rendition Whitney Houston's I have nothing!
David sings gospel most of time, that's old video but he still sings with the Gaithers.
Has to be the best male vocalist alive.
❤❤❤❤
Let Freedom Ring by the Gaither Vocal band, with David was done just after 9/11 in Independance Hall and is the same quality as this. It just builds and builds. Perhaps listen even if you don't get a chance to react.

You should listen to The Gaither Vocal Band song, "The Love of God", featuring David Phelps, Guy Penrod, and a woman (can't remember her name...Joy something).
David Phelps is 1 of the greatest male vocalist in the world pls look his songs up sir
Listen to David Phelps song Whitney's I have nothing. Incredible
This is (white folks) southern gospel. Gaither is still around with great vocalist. Not typically my things, but David Phelps is an exception!

For your next Christmas song listen to him sing Mary Did You Know. He was part of a vocal band that included the writer of the song
Bro i love you but GOD stepped in here and arrainged this perfectly. From reverant whisper to glorious exaltation devinely inspired and arranged for sure AMEN
