Jerome Hines sings You'll never walk alone

Everybody loves this.

[@Nello7]

It's an interesting decision to change the lyric from "hope" to "God", Mr. Hines was a great person, singer, and resource for singers. Thank you for posting this.

[@allenjones3130]

"You'll Never Walk Alone" is one of the greatest inspirational ballads of all time, and Jerry makes it his own.

[@operassassinOperaAssassin]

I find it disrespectful to the music.

[@mistersushirod]

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With God in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on
With God in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

MARVELOUS JEROME HINES🙏😇🎶

[@GaryBuster]

I keep coming back to this as the golden measuring rod for this song... JH put it over the top "with God in your heart" for a truly spiritual experience! Whoa!

I have loved hearing Hines sing for years. Glad to hear him again after too long!

[@gailmariage5318]

My voice teacher studied under Jerome for nine years. He said he was a wonderful man.

[@tanyadixon7980]

Walk on, with God in my heart..amen; I will. Thank you Father!!

[@michaelmiller1215]

The voice of God

[@715596]

Phenomenal bass voice! One of the vey best ever!

[@tenorschofield]

Maravilloso!!!, great, great bass was Jerome Hines!!!BRAVO!!!!!!!!

[@LockportDan]

What a voice!

[@24AngelChild68]

Such a very beautiful bass voice! I really love his deep voice. And such a gorgeous gentleman. Bravo to you Sir. Jerome

[@thevintagepoet]

He looks so proud here

[@dwightdowson9259]

Maestro Hines sang like the Angel GABRIEL

[@saran3214]

He's not afraid of the dark because he's 6'6" and will pretty much flatten anything.

[@mattthericker]

Such an amazing instrument. Truly divinely inspired.

[@bassoassoluto]

Than you Maestro, thank you Jerry... !!!

[@MarthalieThurstonSachemPiper]

With God in your heart. God and country and a fantastic vocalist. May his spirit soar.

[@saulm58]

Magnificent voice and stage presence.

[@KathrinSigner]

Anyone read his book: great singers about great singing?

[@JustinJMooreMusic]

Of course.

[@snrnsjd]

Reading

[@shantanu.t]

The finest book on vocal ped., I think. It's an example of how great singers try to say the same truth (about voice technique) in their own unique ways. It even cleverly reveals the psychology of various singers. Not all will understand it at first, but I found it profoundly useful!

[@brendabackes6017]

I'm just starting to read his book "This is My Story, This is My song" Wow! What voice!

[@runhardhooah]

Absolutely marvelous.

[@barbaraduncan3180]

What a wonderful voice!!

[@lllowkee6533]

Unreal!!❤️

[@sugarbist]

HE WAS A WONDERFUL SINGER AND A GENTLEMAN

[@shicoff1398]

We interviewed him at the radio station I worked for in the 1960's, the guy was six foot seven and very polished. He ate once in Boheme, in the 1960's at the Met. while singing in the cafe scene on stage, in act 2, he did some real impressive acting, eating an entire dinner on stage and singing! first a half an apple, then half a fried Chicken, and did some singing, and then he ate a large cookie for desert . A real feat of courage!

[@sugarbist]

@@shicoff1398 Funny! I thought singers never ate before or during performances? He must have been hungry. Courageous Yes

[@shicoff1398]

@@sugarbist I drove Jan Peerce a couple of times to concerts he had to sing in Calif. and he sometimes, if he had an hour after eating before he sang, he would have a light lunch, but nothing much or heavy. Tucker wouldn't eat all day after a light lunch of eggs, toast, and black coffee and sing that night, and then a late big meal out with friends, only after singing .

[@JohannNefdt]

I like this, very beautiful!!!!

[@Alexander_Zemsky]

Красавец !

[@thevintagepoet]

Such a proud man

[@user-cm1tg6jb2f]

I would like to speak with those 3 who disliked this.

[@photo161]

No you wouldn't...

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

His version is too choppy and too static. I would recommend you listen to Nelson Eddy's version. It has all the healthy technique, dynamics, and declamation and also has all the subtlety and nuance and simplicity. :)

[@leewilkerson8185]

When I was in my early twenties, I would put my grandmother's records of Jerome singing hymns on at the extent of volume for my stereo, I would stand between the speakers, and I would imitate his voice. I must say I got pretty good. The only problem I has was that I just couldn't quite reach his massive vocal projection.

[@greatmomentsofopera7170]

Amazing voice - pitch black timbre! No legato to speak of, but it’s an emphatic performance!

[@user-xt2ek9fq5m]

There was plenty of legato, but he does have strong attacks.

[@marksmith3947]

​@@user-xt2ek9fq5mI would agree that his legato was not a strong point. He said singing should be like speaking, so I think what we hear is the result of a conscious choice

[@iris.fuentescastellano9145]

Bravo

[@maxwellworldwidehistorical3801]

MAGNIFICENT!

[@promopera]

FANTASTIC!

[@jordipanadesribera6890]

HUGE.

[@richardmcleod5967]

One of the great voices. He performed at the Metropolitan Opera more than any other singer.

[@johntitone7551]

Not true. Charles Anthony 2,928 performances. Jerome Hines 869 performances. Jerome Hines ranked 46th

[@richardmcleod5967]

@@johntitone7551 I should have been more specific. Charles Anthony as a Tenor performed the greatest actual number of Tenor performances and I assume the most of any singer in any range.. Jerome Hines by the same token as a Bass, sang the most performances in the Bass vocal range. That is the distinction.
As for the other vocal ranges I am not sure.
Yes, the actual number of Tenor performances (and by any singer in any range) at the Metropolitan Opera was by Charles Anthony as he holds that record. But as for a Bass singer, Jerome Hines holds the record for the most roles requiring a Bass voice.

[@andrewmargrave7518]

Some of Hines's Met performances were in baritone roles such as Don Giovanni, Boris Godunov, Wotan, and the Marquis in "Dialogues of the Carmelites". But they still counted as performances. Besides, Charles Anthony sang small roles with few if any exceptions. Hines sang mostly very major roles.

[@user-cn7jb3hk8b]

Bravo Bass!

[@ultravenia]

Wow.

[@alfonsoalanzo6753]

He never walked alone------------he loved to tell of his love for Jesus. He wrote an opera that is (to my knowledge) the only opera written about Jesus------"I Am the Way." And needless to say it was a grand experience to hear him perform it------------he wrote it and performed it as his personal Christian testimony. His personality was as strong as his bass voice; he was quite personable and he had a unique sense of humor.

[@SamuelSamuelian]

I LOVE THIS SONG AND MR. HINES IS VERY FINE HERE.

[@THNDRHEAD]

Such a Fearless song (pun intended)

[@christophersedlak1147]

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marioriospinot]

Nice.

[@Xaturia]

Olavo de Carvalho que me indicou.

[@ShawDAMAN]

i like this song better in bass than tenor ;p

[@zriter59escritor33]

Hines, for my money, was the finest American operatic bass.
I would put Norman Treigle in second place, and Sam Ramey in third.
Kevin Maynor barely behind Ramey in fourth place.

[@albertoneves231]

Vim por indicação do Professor Olavo de Carvalho.

[@tenormiguelsanchezmoreno5272]

Que maravilla....!!!! Quelli che a Hines no piace sono veramente ignoranti nella materia.....Hines È tra i piu grandi cantanti en assoluto della storia del canto.....!!! tra i bassi.....solo Siepi...li sta vicino....peró Siepi era un basso cantante....!!!! veramente siamo circondati da idioti.....!!!!

[@marknoonan3854]

Does anyone know his note vocal range?

[@mistersushirod]

Angelic

[@stevehays5029]

I believe his vocal range was from low E to high F#. If you're asking about his vocal range in general, rather than this particular song.

[@somerandomguy84]

Steve that sounds like his recorded range. I'd say his true range was probably like B1 to G4. I'm a tenor and I can go down to E when I'm warmed up, there's no way that was the bottom of Jerry's range. :)

[@andrewmargrave7518]

Hines's operational range was from D or E-flat at the bottom to F#, maybe G, on top.

[@dilvishselar]

In one of his interwiew he said that he never could sing low C with same power like all his other notes, and his highest note was G.

[@musicman051189]

What Year Was This?

[@andrewmargrave7518]

Probably about 1956, give or take a few years.

[@andrewmargrave7518]

It actually was 1956. October 22 of that year, on Voice of Firestone.

[@VinylToVideo]

Excellent though it would have been far better without the choir.
