Jennifer Hudson Wows with Stunning 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' Performance

Check out this stunning performance of ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight’ from Jennifer Hudson.

‘There's a calm surrender to the rush of day

When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away

An enchanted moment, and it sees me through

It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you’

What an incredible performance from the talented Jennifer Hudson! In the video, Jennifer Hudson is singing ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight’ at the Hollywood Bowl, which is an amphitheater in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California. She is in a breathtaking, sparkly dress with a full orchestra playing behind her. And many people online shared their thoughts on the singer’s lovely performance.

“Jennifer Hudson, you looked like a Disney princess - absolutely stunning! Your voice was as beautiful as ever. Thank you for the performance,” one person writes online after watching the video.

“She commands that stage! She is truly given one of the greatest gifts ever. There are few in her league,” another person comments on YouTube.

When it comes to ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight,’ the beautiful song was featured in the Disney movie The Lion King when the main character, Simba, falls in love with his childhood friend Nala, to the dismay of his friends Timon and Pumbaa. Elton John was the one who wrote the song, and the voice actors in the film sang the song in the movie scene. Elton John’s version plays over the film's end credits.

At first, the song was originally supposed to be a parody by Timon and Pumbaa, but Elton John wanted it to be this big romantic number. That’s when it was reworked as a love song about Simba and Nala's budding romance. The reception of ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight’ went so well that it won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1995.

Jennifer Hudson did an incredible job with her rendition of ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight,’ and we hope you enjoyed listening to her sing it today!

Ed Sheeran's Stirring Live 'Hallelujah' Performance Captivates

Listen to Ed Sheeran’s stirring live performance of the song ‘Hallelujah.’ This is one version you definitely don’t want to miss!

‘Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don’t really care for music, do you?’

In this captivating performance, Ed Sheeran ends his show with his rendition of the popular song ‘Hallelujah,’ and he shares his reasoning for this with the audience.

“I chose this song because at the end of ‘Fire Love,’ ‘Fire Love’ is the end of the album, and the last words of the song are, ‘My family rise to their feet to sing Hallelujah.’ And you know, I’ve played this song maybe 14 years ago, and haven’t played it since. And it feels like a good end to the show,” he shares.

At the start of the song, it is just Ed Sheeran with his voice and his guitar. And it sounds incredible! You can even hear the audience members singing along with him. But as the song builds, background singers join in, and their voices along with Ed Sheeran’s really take the song to new heights. The whole performance is very powerful and beautiful. 

“There are no words to describe this. I'm speechless,” one person writes on YouTube after watching the video.

“I love this song even more now! Hallelujah,” another person writes online.

This song is so popular and has been covered by many talented artists, and Ed Sheeran’s version is wonderful in so many ways. We hope that you enjoyed listening to it today and it was able to uplift your spirits.

American Idol Winner Abi Carter Stuns with 'My Heart Will Go On' Cover

The latest American Idol winner, Abi Carter, stunned many on social media with her fantastic cover of “My Heart Will Go On.”

Anyone who wins American Idol can obviously sing and has a ton of talent. They would not make it through their initial audition and all the following rounds and cuts if they did not have the talent. The show’s judges are handsomely paid to weed out those who can and cannot sing.

Even if the program’s judges failed to do their job, and someone who did not have the talent got far in the competition, America, with their votes, would help rectify that problem. So, the individual who wins Idol every season is thoroughly tested and can definitely sing.

However, winning American Idol and pulling off an outstanding cover of a Celine Dion song are two very different things. Celine Dion has a magnificent, powerful voice, and her songs are suited to someone with her talent. That’s why Abi’s cover of “My Heart Will Go On” is so incredibly impressive!

In a clip posted on social media, Abi recorded herself singing the song, originally recorded and performed by Celine, while lying on the ground. Abi chose to sing that  tune, as the text in the video explains, because she was told that it’s the “hardest to sing while laying down.”

Abi passed with flying colors if that was meant to test her singing abilities. It’s an outstanding cover that demonstrates her voice's absolute strength and range. She hits those high notes with what appears to be relative ease.

Even those who may not have wanted Abi to win American Idol have to agree that this short little video is a terrific vocal performance, capturing someone who has been blessed with an incredible amount of musical talent.

Father-Daughter Duo Rocks 'Johnny B. Goode' With Fantastic Cover

This is a must-see video! Check out as father-daughter duo rocks ‘Johnny B. Goode’ with a fantastic cover.

This is a timeless classic rock song. At the start of the video, we see a young girl with a drum set sitting on top of a baby grand piano. Her father is at the keys. He begins to play, and she accompanies him. The duo is really talented. They hit all of their notes and stayed on the beat of this challenging song. 

The two hold such composure. They play relaxed and steady. You can see as they record the song in the background on the laptop. They have worked hard to create this performance. Their staccato hits are amazing, as every beat sings out. The daughter stays focused and poised. She hits all of her cues, and her dad does amazing work running up and down the piano. Johnny B. Goode was initially composed by Chuck Berry in 1958. The song has lyrics, even though this video is an instrumental version. The words reveal that Johnny B. Goode is about a boy from Louisiana who cannot read but can play the guitar. 

The chorus sings:

‘Go Johnny, go, go

Johnny B. Goode’

This song is upbeat and hopeful that everyone has skills, they just need to sharpen them. I love how this father and daughter are living out the message of the song. They are playing their instruments and growing as musicians on the piano and drums. They adorably encourage one another with a fist bump at the end of the song. 

It is very special when a family can share in a skill together and witnessing this dad and daughter reminds us of the gift of enjoying music with others. God created music to express emotions. The Psalms use music to share feelings and life situations. Whether it is celebration or sorrow, we can go to God today.

“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—” Psalm 103:1-2

Youthful Voices Deliver Stunning 'In My Life' Beatles Cover

Check out this unique cover of a classic Beatles song. Youthful voices deliver stunning ‘In My Life’ Beatles cover.

Two precious young teens sit on a couch casually in what seems lowkey. The boy wears his glasses, and the girl sits with her pretty dress holding a guitar. She begins to strum the guitar, and then you realize how amazing these two young people are at music. They have such a clear and crisp tone. They are easy to listen to throughout their performance. Their harmonies are spot on and they share sweet smiles together. The duo is called: Maggie and Mo. They have grown up together and now put out music for fun.

It is a true delight to watch these young people sing together. Their voices remind us of the future generation. They show us the beauty and the skills that God continually places in every season. He blesses some with the gift of music to encourage others. Maggie and Mo have been given this skill. 

These young people are talented and have a youtube channel called Maggie and Mo’s Version. It is a channel where they share their version of the songs they enjoy performing. There is a picture of them as young children on their channel.

The song “In My Life” by the Beatles is about the blessing of friendships and family, old and new. As we reflect on the gifts of relationships within our own lives, may we remember that, ultimately, it has been God who blessed us in this way. He created a community for a purpose. He desires for us to know Him and others. We are commanded to love God and love people because when we do this, we are living life the way the Lord intended. Relationships are a continual blessing.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31

Young Siblings Captivate with Beautiful 'A Thousand Years' Rendition

Check out this adorable outdoor talent show performance. Young siblings captivate with a beautiful, ‘A Thousand Years’ rendition.

At the start of the video, the two student hostesses introduce a brother and sister as the audience cheers. The precious little ones enter the stage. The boy is dressed in a suit jacket, and the girl is in a pretty dress. The boy makes sure that his ukulele is set to go, then he begins playing the ukulele. As the girl sings, it will melt your heart. Her voice is so cute. The duo is confident and absolutely adorable. They give this performance their all. 

As this little girl sings about being brave, it is encouraging and brave of her to stand and sing in front of a large audience. Suddenly, she looks over at her big brother and the two of them sing the final chorus in unison. They build up the song beautifully and intentionally with great musicianship. The two work together to create music as a team. It is not a competition, but rather it is a unified partnership. At the end of their song, the large school audience cheers for this pair. You can hear a woman in the background saying, “That was so good.” 

Little ones who come out and do something bold like this are inspiring. They remind us that we can also be brave, try new things, and use our talents. God has gifted each of us uniquely. He has empowered us by His Spirit to use our gifts to glorify Him and testify of His gospel of hope to the world. As we are proud to be watching these kids perform, may it remind us that our heavenly Father is very proud of us too, when we use the gifts He has entrusted to us. Even our smallest moments dedicated to Him are not wasted.

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24

Teen's Stunning Violin Rendition of 'Take Me Home, Country Roads'

An extraordinarily talented and popular musician, Karolina Protsenko, turned in a stunning violin cover performance of John Denver’s beloved classic, “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”

The 1960s, 70s and 80s provided us with some of the best, most skilled singer-songwriters of all time. James Taylor, Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were all at the top of their game during those decades. The music they produced has since become classics and is still listened to, covered and revered by many worldwide.

Another musician who belongs in that all-star, legendary group of musicians is the late John Denver. John could write simple but beautiful and memorable songs. With his songwriting ability, John could paint a vivid and beautiful picture in listeners' minds. Who could ever forget “Annie’s Song,” “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” and “Rocky Mountain High?”

But as great as those songs are, without question, his most beloved song is “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Even people who aren’t John Denver, country or folk music fans know all the words to that timeless tune. It’s a song that seems to be universally beloved.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Karolina gives “Take Me Home, Country Roads” a violin makeover. From the opening moments of her performance, everyone instantly knows what song it is and will likely find themselves adding in the words or, at the very least, humming along.

Who doesn’t know and love those lyrics?

“Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama

Take me home, country roads”

Once again, in the three-minute video, Karolina demonstrates that she is a talented young woman who can make spectacular, pleasing and pleasant sounds on the violin. This is one performance that you’ll likely want to listen to and watch more than once.

Psalm 105:2 “Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.”

Just as long, as you stand, stand by me’

What an incredible rendition of this wonderful song! Tom Ball sounds amazing, and the talented members of the choir just add to the lovely sound of this performance. Many people online shared their positive thoughts about this ‘Stand By Me’ cover.

“It takes immense courage for such a young guy as Tom to take on so many age-old classics that the world loves and respects. Yet here he is bringing that superb voice to smash out yet another excellent rendition of Ben E. King’s all time classic,” comments one person online.

“Gosh, it's so hard to outdo a well-tuned choir, yet here you are knockin' it out of the park and making it sound effortless. Well done,” writes another person about Tom Ball’s performance.

When it comes to his background, Tom Ball is a singer, songwriter, and teacher from England who gained global acclaim as the runner up on Britain’s Got Talent.

Young Trio Wows with 'Don't Worry Be Happy' on AGT

A young trio of talented musicians wowed the judges, the studio audience and likely many people watching at home with their terrific rendition of “Don’t Worry Be Happy” on America’s Got Talent.

Popular television programs such as American Idol, The Voice and America’s Got Talent allow individuals to chase and pursue their dreams. Perhaps, for whatever reason, they got sidetracked and never fully committed to pursuing that goal, or maybe they were overlooked and never had the chance to show their God-given talent.

Whatever the case, America’s Got Talent and similar programs are changing lives by bringing talented individuals to the attention of millions of people. Even young children with unique skills and gifts can show off their stuff and completely change the trajectory of their lives.

In a clip posted on YouTube, three young, incredibly talented musicians and siblings, Biko’s Manna, came from South Africa to show the four judges what they’ve got by performing “Don’t Worry Be Happy.” And what they have is a whole lot of talent!

It’s just seconds into their performance, and Simon Cowell is already won over. Howie Mandel even mentioned that he believes they have got what it takes to win the entire competition. The lead singer’s voice is outstanding—so pleasant and soothing—an angelic voice for sure.

Additionally, their stage presence for performers so young is unbelievable. The children all appear entirely at home performing on stage in front of hundreds of people and the show’s four judges. They don’t seem rattled or nervous in the slightest.

After singing the Bobby McFerrin classic, the children earned a standing ovation from everyone in the room, and rightfully so. It was an outstanding musical performance!

All four judges were extremely complimentary, showering them with one kind word after another. 

Even if these kids do not go on to win the competition, they likely have won themselves an audience and followers.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Stunning Cover of Roy Orbison's 'Pretty Woman'

A band of experienced musicians who call themselves “Too Lazy to Gig” has just released a stunning cover of Roy Orbison's classic hit, ‘Pretty Woman.’ Despite their playful moniker, this group’s talent and passion for music shine brightly in every performance note.

The band's 'About Me' section humorously states, “We are a band of experienced musicians, too lazy to gig anymore! We get together in the studio once a month or so, turn on the mics and cameras, and record a tune. Hope you enjoy.” This unique approach to music creation is evident in their rendition of 'Pretty Woman', which stays true to Orbison’s original while adding their own distinct style and energy.

As you watch the video, it's impossible to miss the band's sheer love for performing, even if their audience is just the recording equipment. The band's chemistry is tangible, with each member effortlessly playing off the others, creating a seamless and joyful musical experience. Their passion is infectious; you can almost feel the energy of a live performance, surrounded by the excitement that only dedicated musicians can bring.

The lead singer’s vocals are a standout, capturing the smooth, rich tones that made Orbison a legend. The guitar riffs are sharp and precise, and the rhythm section keeps the groove tight and engaging. This performance not only pays homage to the original but also highlights the individual talents of each band member.

I love how God gives us gifts like the ability to sing or play music. When we use our gifts, we give Him all the glory in how He created us. Too Lazy to Gig’s cover of ‘Pretty Woman’ is a beautiful example, as their love for music and their God-given talents come together to create something truly special. It’s a reminder that even without a traditional audience, the joy of making music is a gift worth sharing. Share with a friend who loves this song as much as you do! 

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."

Benedetta Caretta's Incredible Cover of 'The Sound of Silence'

Benedetta Caretta’s incredibly haunting rendition of ‘The Sound of Silence’ by Simon and Garfunkel, performed on the edge of ocean waves, captivates the soul.  Benedetta’s life is a testament to the power of music and the passion of our unique God-given talents. Currently studying at the New York Film Academy, she has a rich background in both linguistic high school and jazz singing from the conservatory. Her talent first shone brightly in 2010 when she won the second edition of "Lo Canto" on Channel 5. 

In her latest video, Benedetta stands serenely as the tide rolls in, each wave embracing her feet as she hits every soulful note. The scene is ethereal, with the natural beauty of the ocean perfectly complementing the depth of the song. As she sings, her voice draws you in, making you feel the profound emotion and timeless message of the lyrics. It's this emotional connection that sets her performances apart and makes them so captivating.

‘The Sound of Silence’ by Simon and Garfunkel is a poignant exploration of communication breakdown with its lyrics rich with poetic imagery and haunting metaphors. It delves into the isolation and disconnection prevalent we feel today. The song serves as a powerful reminder of the need for authentic connection we were created for. 

‘Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you

But my words, like silent raindrops fell

And echoed in the wells of silence’

Benedetta’s career is a testament to her versatility and range, with notable collaborations that span various genres. She has shared the stage with international stars like Michael Bublé, Hayley Westenra, Katherine Jenkins, and David Foster, showcasing her ability to adapt to different musical styles. Her 2019 collaboration with HAUSER, the cellist of 2Cellos, further showcases her versatility and range.

Watching Benedetta sing ‘The Sound of Silence’ by the ocean, it’s clear how God-given talents can transcend and touch hearts deeply. Her performance is not just a cover but a heartfelt homage to the song’s themes of communication, isolation, and the longing for meaningful connection. As she sings, she reminds us of the beauty and power of using our gifts to honor and glorify their divine origin. Thank God for the ability to sing, write, and connect with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ!

Young Bee Gees Cover Bob Dylan Classic 'Blowin' In The Wind'

Check out this clip of the Bee Gees—younger than most of us remember—as they sing Bob Dylan’s 1962 Classic “Blowin’ in the Wind.”  

For many, when we think of the Bee Gees, we recall the video of the three long-haired and necklaced brothers strutting through the streets of a deserted and dilapidated city. They’re singing ‘Staying Alive.’ Barry’s full, fluffy hair blows in the breeze. Maurice wears a broad-collared shirt with the first few buttons undone, and twin Robin wears a black vest over an orange t-shirt. That’s the video we remember!

This one goes a little further back. While the familiar video was filmed in 1977, this clip is from an appearance that The BG’s made on Australian television on August 19, 1963! Born on the British Island Territory of Isle of Man, the family moved to Australia in 1958. Here, Barry was 16 years old, and his brothers were 13. Even at those young ages, their talent was evident

Robin sits at the rear, Maurice is in the middle, and Barry sits in front. The three are dressed in slacks, dress shirts, ties, and plaid vests. They wear BG pins on their chests. Originally, they were simply The BG’s, representative of Barry’s initials as well as two other friends, Bill Goode and Bill Gates. Later, the name evolved into the Bee Gees, as in the Brothers Gibb.   

It really is fun to watch the young brothers. The age difference between Barry and his siblings seems significant at this stage of life, though it is only three years. Maurice seems to be the more serious of the twins, and Robin is more expressive. Their three voices blend perfectly! 

There are over 800 comments regarding the video. Many people remark on the beautiful harmonies they produce. Several note Robin’s charisma and personality. And a great number expressed their sadness and sympathy for Mrs. Barbara Gibb; she outlived three of her four sons. Maurice, Robin, and Andy, the youngest of the Gibb brothers, died at the ages of 53, 62, and 30, respectively. Barry is now 77 and has been married to wife Linda Gray for nearly 54 years.

None of us know where life will lead, and surely, the Bee Gees had no idea where their lives would take them when they covered Bob Dylan’s song all those years ago. The Brothers Gibb went on to sell nearly 220 million records and win 10 Grammy Awards. We are blessed because that single song is just one of so many wonderful musical moments the group gave the world!

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12

Senior Couple Rocks the Dance Floor to 'Long Tall Sally' by Little Richard

The music of the 50s is still swinging today. Senior couple rocks the dance floor to ‘Long Tall Sally’ by Little Richard.

Little Richard is a classic singer and performer. From his smooth dance skills, amazing voice, and suave style, He was the full package for the music industry. In this adorable clip, a precious senior couple is showing that they still have the moves to ‘Long Tall Sally.’ Even in a walker, the wife is on beat and dancing incredibly. The husband is kicking his feet, doing a form of step-ball-change. They raise their arms and groove.

The two are very entertaining to watch. They are just enjoying an evening in their living room and decide to invite us in on the fun. Their routine is well thought out and fun. The video has gone viral for obvious reasons because not only does this couple represent an exciting musical era, but they are showing that their marriage has lasted and they are still dancing together. It is a sweet reminder to everyone that no matter what the age, we all can continue to grow in our marriages and relationships around us. They have a loyalty that has remained over time.

God shows us this kind of relationship. He is the perfect model for a long-term covenant, and he is full of adventure. When we have accepted Him as Savior, Jesus is still dancing with us no matter what age and leading us on. If you feel like you are out of touch with your youth and the joys of dancing, remember that you can still carry a youthful spirit. You can celebrate that Christ has made you alive, and you can dance in your heart even if you can no longer move with your body. We all can learn to laugh and dance in His presence because we are secure in that love.

“Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp. For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.” Psalm 149:3-4

Check out this adorable video of this fun married couple. This elderly couple dazzles with dance to Sam Cooke's 'Cupid.'

Larrie and Connie Beers know how to put on a show. In this video clip, the couple shares a dance to Sam Cooke’s ‘Cupid.’ With the lights down low and blue, red, and green lights flashing across the ceiling, Larrie and Connie begin their routine. Larrie starts to shuffle his way forward as Connie rocks the walker. Larrie turns and then faces his bride. The two are beaming at one another. They have a genuine love for each other and enjoy dancing together.

The chorus sings: 

‘Cupid, draw back your bow

And let your arrow go

Straight to my lover's heart for me

Nobody but me’

What the couple may not even realize that they are doing is modeling an example of a Biblical marriage. This is a marriage that is long-lasting and committed. Connie gives a little sass with her shoulder moves, and Larrie grooves towards his bride. Then, he romantically grabs onto her hand, and the two swing-dance with one another. It is adorable! They are so in love and so vibrant for their age. They tap their legs out left and right and move to the music. 

They each have their own unique style, but they are also a pair. This is a reminder for other marriages. We are each unique individuals, but we are also purposeful in our oneness with our spouses. This song reminds us that love like this is for one person only. Marriage is a wonderful gift that God has created for a husband and wife to thrive. This couple is doing that and shining for all the world to see that age does not eliminate love for one another.

“Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” Matthew 19:4-6

Gardiner Brothers Amaze with Mesmerizing Dance to AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck'

The incredibly talented Gardiner Brothers have once again amazed audiences with a mesmerizing and quick-footed dance routine to AC/DC’s beloved classic “Thunderstruck.”

Dance has to be the most challenging art form to perfect and master. Both painting and filmmaking require talent, an eye for detail, an extensive amount of time and patience. Anyone who has worked on a movie or television show or attempted to complete any artwork understands that statement to be 100 % true.

However, dance takes things one step further (no pun intended). To be even a moderately adequate, passable dancer requires everything that painting and filmmaking do. But dance is a very physical activity requiring much movement and coordination. One must be a very athletic person in order to become a dancer. A clumsy and uncoordinated individual probably won’t succeed in the world of dance.

That is precisely what always makes the Gardiner Brothers’ dance routines so mesmerizing and captivating. Those two young men move their feet and legs at a rapid-fire pace and always do so in perfect synchronization with one another. They are seemingly never out of step with the other.

In a clip posted on social media, Mike and Matthew show off their fancy footwork again, this time set to the AC/DC classic “Thunderstruck.” Anyone familiar with the tune knows how energetic, upbeat and fast-paced that song is and that guys move their feet and legs in a way that perfectly matches the song’s tempo.

The guys move along the sidewalk, with the famous Sydney Opera House behind them. In the background, viewers can see a crowd of people behind the guys capturing the captivating performance on their phones.

The Gardiner Brothers are supremely talented individuals, and this video once again confirms this. It’s a routine that you’ll want to watch repeatedly.

Psalm 149:3 “Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.”

Family Band's Stellar Performance of CCR's 'Down On The Corner'

An incredibly talented family band put on a stellar cover performance of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s classic “Down on the Corner.”

Music, like fashion, is constantly changing. Bands and musicians are always trying different sounds to stay current with the public’s preferences. Those who do not adapt to what the public and their audience want will likely be left behind.

However, some bands, very few, are exceptions to that rule. That’s how you can know and identify when a particular band or song is a classic. Years after a tune was initially released, it’s still just as popular as the day it first hit the radio.

One of those bands that has produced several classic songs was Creedence Clearwater Revival. The band and its songs are so beloved that they are often known and referred to by three letters: CCR.

One of CCR’s most beloved songs is “Down on the Corner.” In a clip posted on YouTube, a family band, The Clark Family Creative, covered that song, which is an outstanding cover. Even those who are diehard CCR fans are sure to love this family’s awe-inspiring and spectacular rendition.

That song’s chorus is one that, once you hear it, it’s stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

“Down on the corner, out in the street

Willy and the poor boys are playin’

Bring a nickel, tap your feet”

They all sound absolutely fantastic. Dad and the young lady, who stands at the microphone and is a ball of energy throughout the clip, have terrific voices. The two young men, one on the guitar and the other banging on the drums, are also clearly musically gifted.

They sound this good while sitting in their living room, making their performance even more noteworthy. Three members of the family band even remain seated during their performance.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
