Felt that one, didn't ya? I love watching people discover David Phelps..... welcome to the rabbit hole.
He is still singing at 53. He is just as dynamic as ever. Listen to his cover of Whitney Houston.
My son introduced me to David Phelps 5 years ago at Christmas time. I listened to his version of O Holy Night and I was speechless to say the least! Number 1 on my bucket list is to see David Phelps in concert. Your reaction is right on! He is a world class singer. His passion for Jesus always comes through in every performance. I heard another reactor say “he’s not only a gifted singer, but he’s a minister of the gospel”. I agree with him.
David Phelps and the pianist, Anthony Burger, were a force to be reckoned with. Anthony passed away in 2006. They played off of each other's strengths. David is an amazing singer. He sings and writes much of his own music. David is a gospel singer classically trained. His song, Hello Beautiful, is a surprising song that will pull at your heartstrings.
David is classically trained and a music major graduate from Baylor University and he is the best male vocalist on the planet and has been for the past twenty five years. I know...I have seen him live 11 times from the front row, met him multiples times, met his family and been to his home twice for concerts at his annual Barn Bash. He fly's under the radar because he is a Christian artist. There's no one better...and it's not even close.
Agreed
David Phelps is my favorite!! I have seen him live several times and he is always dynamic. I absolutely love him!!
My absolute favorite tenor!!! Keep on singing for the Glory of God!!!
Amen
Also if you weren’t converted to serve Jesus after this then let he who has ears to hear let him hear
Southern Gospel singers are power singers and can hold a note for ever. I grew up on the stuff.
That's the truth!
Hold a note forever... LoL!
they can indeed
Me too. Mama would blare her Kingsmen, Cathedrals, and Happy Goodmans albums from our huge console stereo on Saturdays while we ALL cleaned house, lol. Still love it.
He is 52/53 years old and has actually gotten better...no deterioration in his voice at all.
David told his dad he wanted to be a singer. So from there he went on to be classicly trained. Many people have said he has the most amazing tenor voice of all time. He was part of the Gaither Vocal Band and now he has branched out on his own and now has many of his own musicians. You need to listen to him sing "Let Freedom Ring"! Amazing!! The people behind him are not a choir, they are other singers connected to Bill Gaither Music. I have been to 3 of his concerts - Any time he is in driving distance I am there! I absolutely loved your review!
He sings a duet with his daughter called "Water" that I think you'd enjoy
FYI - The "choir" had many of the best singers of the Southern Gospel genre in the 20th century. I see Ivan Parker, Ernie Haase, Jeff and Sherri Easter, Janet Paschal, Kelly Nelon, Ben Speer, Sue Dodge, George Younce, Eva Mae LeFevre, Howard and Vestal Goodman, Hovie Lister, Jake Hess, and James Blackwood. And that's the ones I could see and recall!
The best. He’s incomparable. And, he’s such a humble, fun, nice guy. He’s 53 now, and at least as good still. David was classically trained at Baylor University in his native Texas.
No better singer than David Phelps, anywhere, ever. He brings all the vocal power and control PLUS the heart and soul that comes from believing what he's singing. His concerts are tremendous.
He’s special
First time I ever heard him today, and I was moved.
David is phenomenal! Seen him in concert many times! He is truly gifted ! In my opinion he is the greatest voice on the planet and it comes from heaven through a sincere kind and devoted vessel🙏
David is still singing better than ever in 2022. He is a legend.
Absolutely agreed. Even better now.
Thank you so much for playing this amaziing video of David Phelps and for your comments. I've followed David from back when he first sang tenor with the Gaither Vocal Band. He has since gone out on his own and maintained absolutely brilliant performances across a number of genres. He for me is the best male vocalist I've ever heard. Love listening to his songs so amazingly presented. Loved your comments, please play more, like "I Have Nothing" and so many morelike, "Water" sung as a duet with his daughter. Lyn Lockrey, Australia.
He doesn’t use the microphone to soften his voice & make it louder like some singers do. He uses his voice only. He’s the greatest!!
David Phelps is my favorite singer. Anything, and I mean, Anything he sings is amazing. I went to one of his concerts a few months back and trust me, he sings better than ever! I have many favorites, but Just as I am and Gentle Savior are two of my favorites ♥.
Have you heard him sing: "In the Garden" ?? --- I burst into tears the first time I heard David's incredibly TENDER, loving voice sing that ageless favorite! --- It was almost as if he were walking "in the garden" WITH our Savior! 😭 If you have David's "Hymnal" CD, listen to him "worship" the Savior with that beloved song on track #3. --- I'm also moved by "No More Night" track #17 (a literal promise from our God of "what to expect" when we are with Him in Heaven!) on "The Best of David Phelps" CD.
David is, hands down, my favorite male vocalist.
You MUST react to David singing with the Gaither Vocal Band singing “Let Freedom Ring” with Phelps, Guy Penrod, Russ Taff, and Bill Gaither.
Welcome to the world of David Phelps! Great reaction! You are gonna love the David Phelps rabbit hole... he really is one of the greatest male vocalists of all time. There's no shortage of performances for you react to. For another one with a choir joining in "We Shall Behold Him" and "The Dream" both are powerful and stunning. Other great ones that are mainstays of his, "No More Night" and "Let Freedom Ring" (with the GVB, a "quartet" type gospel group). Also, a more recent performance of "I Have Nothing" is excellent, where he crushes a D5 like it's nothing at age 53. So many to choose from... the best though is that he really connects and believes what he sings, which makes it even more powerful, especially live. Enjoy the ride!!!
Sustained chest notes. Just crazy. God gifted.
This stage is full of the legends of Southern gospel music. The Gaithers, Mark Lowry (who wrote the lyrics to mary did you know) and who is right behind david in this video, George younce from the cathedrals, Ivan Parker from the kinsman, and so so many more. If you watch ever older videos of the gaither homecoming concerts you will see j.d. Sumner who at one point had the record for the lowest bass note and also sang backup to Elvis, the Goodman family, the Ledbetters and others.
So glad you enjoyed David. We've loved him forever. His children are starting to sing with him. David is classically trained and a graduate of Baylor U voice major. He is a devout Christian.
David is 53 years old now. He does a cover of Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” that is amazing. I loved your reaction.
You enjoyed and appreciated this so I think you would love hearing David Phelps with the Neither Vocal Band sing "LET FREEDOM RING". It' spectacular!
David has been performing for more than 25 years. Many with the gospel group, Gaither Vocal Band, as well as having a solo career. This was recorded 22 years ago. He still sings just as gorgeous. His vocal range is stunning and he nails every song he does and he does them with his entire heart and soul.
So glad to see you react to David. Loved your reaction!
Any song you choose, by him, will be this amazing!!
I’ve seen him live 13 times. His voice is unreal. You can feel it in your chest when he sings. Best vocalist I’ve ever heard. Great reaction video
Just a little background on this, it was a Christmas program filmed in the summer so that the dvd could be released that holiday season. Also, coming from someone who has had the privilege to attend concerts by David and to hear this live is something I will always treasure. He owns this song and pulls out his 3rd lung on it too!!
He’s a Christian artist. Very humble and the best male vocalist I have heard. You don’t hear of him because Christian artists don’t get the recognition they deserve.
Aaaaaaaand! How about that piano!!! I mean…WHAAAT?!?! David also expresses the meaning behind the lyrics, almost like an actor, helping you picture the message. I listen to this about a thousand times every single Christmas, and watch and listen for the various subtleties, and I know NOTHING about music. I’m so glad you loved him as much as I do! Your comments were spot on. He is a one in a billion.
The people on stage behind him are all major Southern Gospel singers in their own right, some soloists but many in quartets or trios.
Best tenor on the planet!! Love, love David Phelps!!
He’s fantastic
David Phelps is completely amazing! I’ve seen him in concert a few times and have followed his videos for years! So many performances from different genres of music all excellent. He is 53 and still writing, arranging, singing and touring! Jump on the Phelps band wagon! You will be amazed!
I love seeing new people discover his voice. I've been a fan of his for over 20 years now and he never fails to amaze me
When you first experience David, you never stop. Its like going into a rabit hole with all his music, and you cannot stop!! He is out of this world talented!!
Twenty years later, you should hear his version of "I Have Nothing" in the same key that Whitney Houston sang it. David is a fabulous singer and songwriter. He sang for a number of years with the Gaither Vocal Band and their song "Let Freedom Ring" will blow your socks off! I hope you will checkout more of David's work, great reaction.
I agree, that song next!
I second that! I Have Nothing next!
Yes. It it unbelievable!
I agree with you when he sings, Let Freedom Ring.. When David reaches for that note towards the end, I have chill bumps from the top of my head to my toes every single time I listen to it. Most amazing thing I have ever heard. David is a true treasure .
One of my favorite things to do is click on the segments where "voice teachers" listen to David for the FIRST time! --- Their "reactions" to such a powerful yet incredibly tender (God-directed) voice/gift always makes me smile then I say instantly: "Told 'ja!" 👍🏻😉
Listening to him sing actually brings tears to my eyes. its was so beautiful. Just to let you know he is still singing and he is classically trained. You should listen to him sing Nessum Dorma!
Welcome to the Phanhood! Saw David last week and he still sounds AMAZING at 53 years young!
I saw David 2 weeks ago. His Nessun Dorma is still so beautiful and captivating. His Whitney cover is a study in singing. Thank you for your reaction.
Another song that he performs spectacularly is called
No More Night. It will literally send your spirit right towards the heavens.
*_I have heard David hit a C5 sharp just as easily as C4, C3, C2, C1. What an incredible Tenor Voice._*
I had the extreme pleasure of attending his Christmas performance at church in South Carolina several years ago. Hearing him live in that church was beyond amazing!!!! I had goose bumps the whole time!!! Super humble man too. We were blessed to meet him after the concert.
And hilarious. He has a fantastic sense of humor. I saw him live last year right after his birthday (52). Someone shouted out Happy Birthday. He thanked them and said his wife Lori shares his birthday. Same month, day and year but he was born 3 hours before her so that makes him the boss in the family. He then lowered his voice and said, " She didn't hear that, did she?" She was running his merch table out front. LOL!
I think I've played his version of this song 100 times! What's most fun is watching the voice coaches hear this rendition for the first time and seeing their faces when he hits C# . No one can duplicate this better, maybe not even David again. This was his Holy Spirit moment!
Check out "Just As I Am" from his concert in Birmingham, AL.
If you like David Phelps' version of this, you would also love Sandy Patti's version with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Both David and Sandy have musical training and degrees, but both rose to prominence through the Gaither Vocal Band, a long-standing gospel group.
Loved your reaction! David's voice is a gift from God to the world. His faith and conviction makes his vocals that much more impactful.
First time hearing your reaction to David Phelps, best tenor on the planet. You are in for the ride of your life if you check out his music, there is a lot of it out there 😊
He is my favorite singer you can just feel his every word.....he's amazing
The best performance of this song, ever - check out: NO MORE NIGHT , LET FREEDOM RING, THE END OF THE BEGINNING,- David was with the Gaither Vocal band, (quartet with Bill Gaither still leading the group), a southern gospel group, world renowned for many years classically trained - WATER with his daughter is stunning - Truly one of the greatest vocalists ever, certainly as a tenor ~ Bill and Gloria Gaither have written hundreds of Christian songs including HE TOUCHED ME Bill is in his 80's and the group just completed their Christmas tour last evening.
GOD BLESS AMERICA from his solo concert years ago will have you in tears!
Mark Lowry who wrote MARY DID YOU KNOW, sang with the Gaither Vocal Band at the same time as David - one of the greatest quartets of all time~ Mark Lowry is just behind and to the right of David in this performance. David Phelps, Michael English (incredible talent), Guy Penrod and Mark Lowry were perhaps the greatest quartet assembled by Bill Gaither at any time ~
David comes from a musical family and is joined by his two daughters in his solo concerts- a sister that sang with him previously passed away ~
David's performance of HE'S ALIVE with the vocal band is another truly stunning, anointed performance- He is considered one of the greatest tenors of all time, deservedly so-enjoy the journey
My favorite version of "Mary, Did You Know" is Mark Lowry singing with the amazing acapella group Voctave.
Phe-NOM-enal!
I agree with everything you just said but would like to add that David's music professors at Baylor University tried to persuade him to go into Opera. He has several opera pieces that he literally slays but his passion is with the gospel genre. He is fabulous at any genre he chooses to sing and he does a little bit of everything.
I've heard David sing this many times and it always gives me goose bumps. It was fun to hear your comments. Thank you for loving it as much as I do.
I've heard so many singers do this song in so many different ways, but this is, BY FAR, the best version (live or studio) that I've ever heard in my life!
If you want to hear a more recent song, in 2021, David Phelps sang I Have Nothing. I would love to see your reaction to it. Again, he killed it! His voice is just as beautiful today as it was when he sang O Holy Night, 23 years ago. I was so pleased with your reaction to that. You saw and heard just how talented he is. You said his voice was world class and I couldn’t agree more! I enjoy your reactions. Looking forward to the next.
I love watching reactions when David hits those nit.
David is phenomenal to this day. He has one of the finest voices in existence. He has extraordinary control and power. Truly a very, very special talent.
Have you heard David sing No More Nights? If not,please listen because David hits the high notes and breath control is amazing ! You will love it !!
David's voice is phenomenal! Each year, he holds a Barn Bash at his farm, south of Franklin, Tennessee. Two magnificent concerts! His fans are obsessed with his voice! You should see him in person on a concert tour!
I’ve seen David live in a small local church. Yes he still does small venues in small towns. A rare and amazing talent. Well worth seeing.
Congratulations on discovering David Phelps!! I've been trying to get another vocal teacher/performer/reactor in London, Jennifer Glatzhofer to discover and react to David Phelps, for the first time. So glad you did!!
Wow! Absolutely out of this world! It felt like a Broadway masterpiece. Outstanding! 👏👍
Wonderful choice for a first time reaction to David. Now, you seriously need to listen to No More Night - another live performance.
If you want to check out a more recent song from him, he has a cover of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" from a year or two ago.
Great reaction! His song "Unchained Melody" is beautiful, as well as "No More Night." Greatest tenor on the planet...ever. He is classically trained. He has a UA-cam channel.
Saturday, 12/28 - I’m on the west coast and just discovered David within the last year. I have difficulty sleeping (often) and his music helps me get through many a night- being old -(almost 88) the wee hours are the loneliest, so God’s message presented so beautifully at this stage in life is validating. May God bless David with a long musical life.😂
I hope you listen to more of David! He is my absolute favorite, and I have listened to this song over and over and over ..... no one can even compare to him. Listen to a song called Fall On Your Knees by David Phelps and Charlotte Ritchie..... omg it's beautiful and also He's Alive. I get chills everytime and my eyes fill with tears and his voice makes me want to fall on my knees and worship Jesus. God has given him an amazing talent like no other and he honors God with it. His voice just blows me away. I'm so glad you are getting a chance to hear him. Loved your reaction! God bless Holly
He’s still amazing ❤Today is his 54 th birthday and has been on tour all year,,, he’s the best tenor on earth..all his music is amazing. Listen to him sing the Lords Prayer 🙏
David is 53 now, and is still a complete powerhouse tenor. (Check out his version of Nessun Dorma!). Best of all, to me, he’s a super nice man; humble and funny. His voice is a gift from God, and he uses it for God’s glory.
Hoping to see and hear this live tonight! My 82 year old mom and I have become groupies. 😊
If you enjoy chorale music, have you been introduced to Voctave yet? David Phelps is part of the Gaither Vocal Band... a group of excellent musicians. Another member of the Gaithers is Mark Lowry, who joins Voctave in singing the Christmas song he co-wrote, "Mary Did You Know." It's an incredible performance.
Everyone that has Teacted to this performance and there are many is absolutely blown away with his talent. Especially those that never heard him before sing anything. There are literally 100's of his performances you could choose and they are all great. Solos, duets, part of the Gaither Vocal Band and on and on.primarily Christian Contemporary, but across all genre's he is wonderful. Try "No More Night" next.
Thank you for sharing this. Awesome singer
David is now 53, about 31 when he did this. He has absolutely not lost a thing in his range, power, passion, control, tone and clarity. In my opinion the best in the world in all those areas. You really need to check out his cover of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" you won't believe it and covered that in 2021. Also "No More Night" and "Let Freedom Ring" when he was with the Gaither Vocal band.
I thoroughly enjoy seeing someone discover David Phelps for the first time. He is an amazing vocalist and I've had the pleasure of hearing him live twice. Please check out more of his songs...you will not be disappointed!!! I recommend specifically "No More Night".
David Phelps has so many songs that show off his control and range. David has won several DOVEAWARDS. I agree with all the comments below. Try the comparison of one song from over 25 years ago and now. the new is from a Christmas concert as his hoe the Barn and Bale Christmas Concert. The song is "LET THE GLORY COME DOWN. OLDER VERSON IS LINKED TO : ua-cam.com/video/vcFoLtDuANI/v-deo.html AND THE CURRENT VERSION : ua-cam.com/video/R58BI_PkVaw/v-deo.html. Another song to check out is "WE SHALL BEHOLD HIM" ua-cam.com/video/eBvGzrnirT8/v-deo.html . I hope you enjoy him. We can give you so many songs.
I'm glad you enjoyed my request. The part when the chorus joins him gave me chills too. This wonderful rendition of "O Holy Night" is a spiritual experience. 🙂
David is a great tenor. He was part of the Christian "Gaither Vocal Band" for many years, but he left the band in 2017 to concentrate on his solo career. He usually sings Christian songs.
I also want to give credit to the pianist Anthony Burger. He was an excellent piano player. Unfortunately he died at the age of 44 from a heart attack. It's worth checking out some videos of him playing the piano masterfully, e.g. "Exodus" ua-cam.com/video/Pv3pOP2GkKM/v-deo.html
First, thanks you for recommending David to him. Second, thank you for mentioning Anthony. So many reactors overlook him and he is/was a world class pianist in his own right. Most people just don’t realize they are watching someone of his talent because David is obviously the focus.
I think pretty much every song David sings turns into a spiritual experience!! I swear he's like a fine wine that just gets better. Maggie Beth also keeps getting better and better. I love "He's still my child".
BERGER! Most underrated pianist in modern history. A beautiful soul! We all will hear him again when us saints come marching in!
I feel like I go to church every time I hear ANYTHING Gaither Vocal Band does! Ive grown up with their music, its beautiful!
Yes Favid is a tenor but Gabriel Henrique is a counter tenor and has a whistle register which David does'nt have.
His voice today at 53 is still as strong. You will be blessed and welcome to David Phelps ❤
I love watching someone encounter David for the first time. Their reactions are almost as good as David, lol
"The Dream" by David Phelps
My all time favorite male vocalist, David Phelps!! No one better, imho.
David's voice in "In the Garden" made me cry because the incredible tenderness he expressed in that really precious song (sung from his heart and spirit!) plus "No more night!" is also touching AND powerful! ❤❤❤
I saw him sing this just like that live just a few years ago. He is simply amazing. My favorite singer on the planet - I cannot imagine anyone better.
David you are amazing. So blessed by God!
David's version of O Holy Night it is to this day my favorite. Oh Holy Night is my favorite Christmas Hymn and when David's Gaither Family Christmas version of this came out in 2020 that was it for me. Thanks for the reaction ✌❤😎
He is the absolute best there is! Have been following him since forever (30+ concerts), and will continue to attend any concerts/events that I can. We love you David!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! You are the ONLY reviewer that did not keep stopping the video over and over in the middle of him singing. Thank you for letting us listen all the way to the end.
Thank you!
He's my all time favorite vocalist - he is also a wonderful, REALLY FUNNY man! He loves to joke but is also deep and has a great faith in Jesus. We get to see him perform next week in the Phoenix area!!!! This will be the 3rd time we've seen him perform. In person is even better!
This is, to me, the definitive performance of this beautiful and highly significant song! Thank you for your reaction. It matched mine the first time I heard it. It still leaves me breathless. How did he not pass out delivering those high notes for their full length? The choir, the orchestra, the ORGAN... OMG it is exactly what I've always heard in my head but until this performance, never heard with my ears.
I absolutely loved your reaction! So great to see a first reaction to this performance. I have watched this video so many times- with and without reactions- I just love love love it! David Phelps is phenomenal and this is one of his many 'stand out' performances. Goose bumps every time 🙏🙏🙏
My most beloved Christmas Hymn of my 72 years.
Spectacular rendition.
Truly uplifting and so warm.
Spectacular !!!
Beauty.
Right?! When the choir join him, actual goosebumps
I have loved David ever since i first saw him on Gaither Music Videos in the 90's I thought, Who is this man! and I have loved him ever since! Just an amazing voice!
Saw him a few weeks ago and 20+ years later still amazing to listen to.
Great, articulate reaction, Adam. Thanks so much!
You've just discovered the most amazing singer.
Since you like choral music, I think you would enjoy David’s Christmas choral interpretation of Anton Dvorak’s “New World Symphony,” it’s called “Angel Lullaby.”
Also David recorded a broadway song with Voctave,“Being Alive”, which is out of this world. Acapella, of course.
Absolutely love David Phelps, he's amazing, I think you'd LOVE Voctave singing O Come All Ye Faithful if you haven't already listened to them?
I enjoyed watching your reaction to David's song. He's my favorite. Besides his amazing voice, to me, he has, hands down, the BEST stage presence of any performer. His passion, conviction, poise, and gestures are in a league of his own!
It was such a nice treat to watch you discover David Phelps for the first time I highly recommend his cover of Whitney Houston's I have nothing he recorded last year at 53 years old I know you will be blown away
I love seeing peoples first reactions to David singing. Seeing your face and hearing your reaction is priceless! David is now in his 50s and still knocks his vocals out of the park. He is trained also writes and produces music. He's a gem !! Great reaction video !!
He's mostly a Christian artist but he also has some secular songs like Unchained Melody and I have Nothing. He's classically trained. He wrote a song called Heavens shore for his sister who has since passed away from cancer.
Besides Dimash and Freddy, David fills up my top 3 male vocalist ever. His vocals are so rich. My favorite Christmas song. You can see the spirit shining through, such sheer beauty. Simply phenomenal. Thank you, from the Netherlands
I was start to finish chills and goosebumps and tears. I’ve loved him for a long time as a member of The Gaithers. But this is the first time I’ve heard him sing this, my favorite Christmas song! He was certainly anointed throughout. ❤
