Love the way they resolve that last chord.
Wow, very nice rendition by Mike Rowe. He’s got a pro sounding vibrato and does his vowels right and all that. The kind of stuff that doesn’t just happen by accident. He’s clearly put some time into his singing.
That one (The Brooklyn Bridge acapella version) was WONDERFUL! :-)
I agree.
Rowe attended Kenwood Presbyterian Church in Baltimore when he was younger; his parents still regularly attend. Rowe attended Overlea High School, where he excelled in both theater and singing under the tutelage of choir director Freddie King, whom Rowe credits for first interesting him in performing.[5] After graduation from high school, he attended Essex Community College,[5] and briefly sang with the Chorus of the Chesapeake, which at the time was directed by King. He later graduated from Towson University[6] with a degree in communication studies.[7]
Rowe sang professionally with the Baltimore Opera.[8][9] He says about this job:
I joined the opera to get my union card and meet girls. I was a saloon singer, so I went down to the Baltimore Opera and learned an aria and auditioned. I figured I'd do one show and quit. But the girls were everywhere and the truth is, the music was really decent.[10]
Have a blessed Independence Day - and don't forget to read the Declaration of Independence today, y'all.
Yep, I figured he had some backround. Hats off to him for developing his talents.
NO ONE is better than Sandy Patty!!!
Whitney Houston version was recorded in a studio.
She lip synced it at the stadium.
bkmk
Just a joke, for crying out loud.
By the way, did you notice how she bungled the words?
LOL I know it was a joke. I just cannot stand her, don’t’ care WHAT she’s doing.
I agree with you; but if they do it Whitney was the best.
Oh, absolutely! :-)
