My husband and I watched this show when it first came out. We were enthralled by these performances. But this song brought us both to tears... My beautiful husband died 2 yrs ago, and now all I have left are the incredible memories... He was a musician, he met Donny Hathaway, when he was on the road. Donny played some tunes for him, in his hotel room, and my husband said he was awed by how talented he was, and knew he would be famous someday. This song transports me to the best years of my life... 🩷
Singers can have everything on point; technique, tone, timbre, all the things in all the right places ...but if you can't tell a story, like this man can, you've failed at drawing the audience to you. Bravo my friend!
And yes he does tell the story with so much emotion and tenderness!! you can't help but swoon with it! almost to tears! he does Leon Russell and Donny Hathaway right!
@@sojazzyone I'm in your corner... Such freedom found in his interpretation. And the thing is...you can't teach being on point like this because no song is ever sung the same way twice.
I never thought I'd love this song sung by anyone other than Brother Donny Hathaway, alas this rendition is soul moving. Brother Roddick is feeling every word, as am I. I simply lose myself, such RAW talent. He has such control over this instrument. God bless you.
0:190:21 this song sung by this performer is my favorite song of all time. I cannot express to Rodrick Dixon, how deeply it moved me. I don’t know who the woman is to whom you’re singing this, but every woman should be loved with such devout fervor. Your voice moving seamlessly through every octave and with such highs and lows of passion is unsurpassed in the music industry. ❤
I can listen to this man sing again & again. I have had the pleasure of hearing him sing live & have gotten to know him as a friend through my Church. He would come for quite a few years to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve & sing with our choir. He would always sing "Oh Holy Night" & he would sing to my heart, every nerve ending & every fiber of my being. It was something I had never experienced before or again. The tears would stream down my cheeks. At that point I would look around at the congregation & just about every man & woman was crying too. After Mass I would always go up to him & thank him for bringing me to tears again with his gift. He is the kindest, funniest & most down to earth person you could meet & you wouldn't expect that of someone who of his stature in the world of opera & stage. Bravo Rod!
Amen Sister! Leon Russell wrote it, Donny "Sang" it, and Rodrick just plain old made it his own! Spiritual, Strong, and Sophisticated. Brothers are the sons of the Father! Hallelujah!!!
Had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Rodrick Dixon sing this today @the ‘Colour of Music Festival in Houston - an ABSOLUTELY AWESOME TENOR!!!,,,I cried too,,,’boo-hooed’ down walking back to my car,,,, it was SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!
WoW. Love this rendition. Rodrick Dixon has such a beautiful voice. His cover of « Fly me to the moon » is one of my favs. And now I can add this one too. He definitely should record an album.
I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhymes I've acted out my life in stages With ten thousand people watching But we're alone now And I'm singing this song to you I know your image of me Is what I hoped to be I treated you unkindly But darling, can't you see? There's no one more important to me Baby, can't you see through me? 'Cause we're alone now And I'm singing this song to you You taught me precious secrets Of a true love withholding nothing You came out in front when I was hiding Now I'm so much better And if my words don't come together Listen to the melody 'Cause my love is in there hiding I love you in a place Where there's no space or time I love you for my life You're a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone And I was singing this song to you I love you in a place Where there's no space or time I love you for my life You're a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone And I was singing this song to you We were alone And I was singing this song to you We were alone And I was singing this song, mm Singing this song to you
Like so many songs Donny sang, the word "song" barely does them justice - he chose songs that were healing spells - incantations to turn heartbreak into the strength to love more strongly, more freely.

Absolutely beautiful. I closed my eyes and imagined my man singing this song for me!

Words can not describe the power and the beauty of this riveting performance!!!
Excellent presentation
Monumental talent!!! What a wonderful singer!!!

I envy your experiences hearing his voice in person, especially singing my favorite Christmas song which cries out for a superlative voice like his.
this brought me to tears. i have never heard such a beautiful rendition of this piece.
This should be a tutorial for anyone who ever does renditions of classic songs. Well done Good Sir

Matt B. this gentleman made Claude proud!! Great cover.
This is why I started singing. My mom took me to one of there concerts and I started singing from then…

4:50 just couldn't hold back the tears. My friend's daughter is in the hospital, sending her love from my heart.
Is she alright? Nine months later, now. And I hope she’s doing much better.
This is my favourite performance of this song, ever! #voicelikebutter #thisiswhatthetruthsoundslike
MASTERCLASS 🎤🎶🎹 Roderick Dixon (and all of the original ‘Three Mo Tenors)

What.... people, ..... this is so heart moving version... he is proving the best is still possible - a gift for us!
Thank you!
Blows me away. Sweet power.
❤ in a place there’s no space or time

A great job
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me
Is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
Baby, can't you see through me?
'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song, mm
Singing this song to you
This hurts my heart
for being a donny Hathaway song man you really put more your stamp on it great song
Have you not heard Donny Hathaway's live rendition?
@@treytaylor1511 uhm yes. And this is remakedley better. Stop
@@TheRoadLessChosen That's your opinion, but I think Donny's live rendition is better.

Wow you are AMAZING!!!
omg I am crying now. Karan Carpenter can hear this in heaven.
when he takes a breath before "people" i die
WOW.... first thoughts
Alright Rodrick!!!

Kodi Lee Top Wonderful 😎😍🤩

Leon Russell, Donny Hathaway, Jesse Campbell, Kodi Lee, Whitney Houston, David Whitley, Ray Charles.
이 들의 노래도 다 좋다. 그런데 난 왜 자꾸만 이 영상을 찾아오게 되는 걸까?
와.... 진짜 뭐야 잘한다는 경지가 아니시네
NO
