Barbershop Chorus Sings Frank Sinatra 'Come Fly With Me' Cover

A barbershop chorus sings a Frank Sinatra ‘Come Fly With Me’ cover that you won’t want to miss! This all-male youth barbershop chorus group, Boomtown Chorus, originated in Orange County, California. They started in the fall of 2011 by their original member Joey Buss and competed at International Youth Barbershop Chorus Festival in Tucson, Arizona in 2012. They won the championship for choruses with an average of member age that was under 19-years old. Frank Sinatra was born on December 12, 1915, and he passed away in May 1998. Frank was a legendary American singer and songwriter. He was one of the most famous pop, swing, and jazz artists of his time, and was one of the most popular musical artists in the 20th century. Frank is remembered as one of the best selling music artists of all time. Something interesting about Frank was that he never learned how to read music, he worked his way up from a young age, and improved his musical abilities. Frank was also known for being a ‘perfectionist,’ he was always dressed to impress and had a strong stage performance. He would constantly request that he would record live with his band. During his time he got the nickname ‘Old Blue Eyes’ because of his bright memorable eyes. Frank was also included in Time Magazine’s 20th century’s most influential people. After he passed away Robert Christgau called him the “greatest singer of the 20th” century. Frank continues to be an iconic figure in the jazz community. He sold more than 150 million records worldwide while he was alive. ‘Come Fly With Me’ is Frank Sinatra’s 14th album he released in 1958 and was nominated for a Grammy for Album Of The Year. These young men from BoomTown Chorus perfectly embody Frank in their performance and give us a wonderful cover of this timeless song. Their harmonies definitely make this a memorable cover of this classic song!

Quartet Performs Unique Rendition Of 'Bohemian Rhapsody'

A quartet performs a unique rendition of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ and they take their performance on the road. The classic rock ballad, Bohemian Rhapsody, has withstood the test of time and been covered numerous times by many artists. This particular cover is unique because it is strictly an instrumental piece. There are no lyrics being sung, only played on the piano and string instruments. Simply Three & William Joseph did a spectacular performance in this cover because you can really feel the soulfulness. Their performance is infused with emotion and really resonates! Simply Three is made up of Glen McDaniel, Nick Villalobos, and Zack Clark, and they were originally founded in 2010. The men are known for doing various covers of genres, and popular musical artists such as Adele, Gershwin, Coldplay, Twenty One Pilots, Ed Sheeran, and Micheal Jackson. Their website shares that they are, “Classically Trained. Pop Influenced. String Driven.” “By reshaping convention through this style of genre-hopping, the trio continues to seek the true essence of classical crossover with original works as well as innovative arrangements that showcase their technical virtuosity and heartfelt musicality,” their site explains. William Joseph also played a huge part in this wonderful cover bringing the grace and elegance of his pianist abilities, making this a timeless classic of this wonderful song. William is described as an electrifying performer with a cinematic style. He has shared the stage with world-class artists including John Mayer, Beyoncé, John Legend, Michael Bublé, Andrea Bocelli, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Blake Shelton, Ray Romano, Robin Williams, and Barbra Streisand. Queen was a British rock band from London formed in 1970 whose record sales exceeded 170 million. All four members were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003. Bohemian Rhapsody was originally written and performed in 1975, and was featured on the album, A Night at the Opera. Bohemian Rhapsody won Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2004, Brit Award for Song of the Year in 1977 and MTV Video Music Award for Best Video from a Film in 1992.

Barbershop Quartet Sings Elvis Presley 'All Shook Up' Cover

Barbershop quartet sings Elvis Presley ‘All Shook Up’ cover, and it’ll have you tapping your toes! If we can agree that people coming together to join voices in a song is good, then more people singing together would be even better! At least that’s the motto for the Barbershop Harmony Society. It’s their goal to introduce more people to barbershop harmonies. This is definitely one video you don't want to miss. The members’ voices harmonize beautifully with each other’s and the energy with this group is contagious. You can’t help but smile as you watch these guys who are clearly having a blast themselves. Babyfaced and clean shaved, the group does the perfect arrangement of the classic hit, complete with many of Elvis’ signature moves. They sing in perfect harmony which is what the Barbershop Harmony Society is all about! They said, “Harmony compels us to blend, to cooperate, to create beauty. Indeed, to love each other. It’s time to think of the gift of harmony not just as a treasure for our own enjoyment, but as a tool for direct social impact.” Their mission and passion for musical harmony is one of the most Christ centered gifts in the world of music. If Elvis were alive today, he would have approved of the quartet’s version of his second biggest hit. This was one of Elvis’ most popular songs of all time after "Don't Be Cruel"/"Hound Dog", and it spent eight weeks atop Billboard's Top 100 Singles chart. Billboard declared this the #1 single of 1957. "Don't Be Cruel" was #1 for 1956, the only time in the history of Billboard that the same artist recorded the #1 hit singles of two consecutive calendar years. When this song was released, Elvis was in the midst of an incredible hot streak. He had the number one single for 25 weeks in 1956, "Heartbreak Hotel". If singers want to bring people together and get them dancing or put them in a good mood, Elvis’ song is a no brainer. “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Romans 12: 16-18

The Piano Guys Use Technology To Create World's Largest Piano

Check out this creative video where The Piano Guys use technology to create the world’s largest piano and move that piano all over the world! At the beginning of the video, we are informed that it was filmed using the iOS and Android app “AR Pianist.” Jon, the pianist, and Steve, the cellist, used this app to create a fun video of them performing their rendition of ‘Für Elise.’ And how cool is it that they can still play together even if they are not in the same room at the same time. The technology that we have available to us is so impressive! Steve shares on their YouTube page about the first time he heard Jon play ‘Für Elise.’ “Steve (the cellist) here. Jon and I have been playing together for many, many years -- even long before The Piano Guys. I’ll never forget the first time I heard Jon whip out his own playfully deranged arrangement of one of the most well-known pieces ever written,” Steve says. “I was backstage getting ready to join him for the next song and he began the first notes of Für Elise. I admit I cringed a little, like many I had heard it far too many times.” Steve continues. “But then all of the sudden it wasn’t Für Elise anymore, it was a piece of music that caused me to involuntarily tap my foot and grow a goofy grin on my face. I fell in love with “Für Elise Jam” -- because Jon wasn’t playing it to mock Beethoven or try to ‘improve’ on Beethoven (no one can do that) -- he was sincerely just having fun. And the audience and I could feel that. I remember thinking, ‘we need more of this.’ Perhaps that was one of those propitious premonitions of things to come.” “And now we’re at 10 years with the Piano Guys, releasing our 10th album. And this song had to be part of it. Oh, and I hope you don’t mind that I added a little cello. After all, there’s always room for cello.” What a wonderful story and what a creative use of technology for this performance! We hope you enjoyed it!

Check out this battle round on The Voice between Bailey Rae and Sid Kingsley. Their performance of ‘Tennessee Whiskey’ by Chris Stapleton has the judges on their feet and cheering them on! “Used to spend my nights out in a barroom, liquor was the only love I've known But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom, and brought me back from being too far gone You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey, you're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of brandy, and honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time” “I love this song!” Kelly Clarkson says excitedly just as the music begins to play. Both Bailey Rae and Sid Kingsley have such amazing voice, and together, they sound phenomenal! It’s amazing how well their voices complement each other. The judges are swaying back and forth and loving every minute of this performance. We are, too! After the contestants finish singing, the judges give the pair a standing ovation! They both did an incredible job, but John Legend gave the winning spot of the Voice battle to Bailey Rae. But at the last second, Kelly made the decision to steal Sid to be a part of her team! “It is awful to have to choose. One without the other wouldn’t give that astonishing version,” comments one person on YouTube after watching Bailey and Sid battle it out. “Both gave me their best.” “John Legend has proven he can cross all genres of music. These two contestants are equally phenomenal,” writes another person on YouTube. “Thanks to Kelly for saving Sid!” So after this battle round on The Voice, it looks like Bailey and Sid are going on to the next round. We can’t wait to see what songs these two choose to perform next!

Last year she was invited to perform on American Idol in front of the celebrity judges (Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan) and was awarded with the Golden Ticket, even though she was too young to compete. ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’ is a powerful and popular song that has been covered by many throughout the years, and Malea Emma’s cover of the song is just wonderful!

'Tears In Heaven' Performance From Guitar Quartet

This ‘Tears in Heaven’ performance from the guitar quartet, 40 Fingers, is so powerful! The guitar is an instrument that brings people together as a group and connects them through music. And this video featuring four guitarists playing Eric Clapton’s classic song, ‘Tears In Heaven’ with Croatia as a backdrop is downright stunning. The combination is genius and beyond beautiful. The band, 40 Fingers, is composed of Matteo Brenci, Emanuele Grafitti, Enrico Maria Milanesi, and Andrea Vittori. All four of which are very handsome and talented Italian artists. But it isn't their looks that has gained them fame. It’s how well they play together. Filmed near The Church and the Monastery of the St. John the Evangelist in the Town of Rab, Island Rab, Croatia, their rendition of the song begins with one man and his guitar before the camera pans to include each of the members and shots of the city. And the music is absolutely beautiful. It’s definitely a beautiful portrayal of such a moving and tragic song, written by Eric following the tragic death of his son, Connor. In 1991, his son fell from an open window of a 53rd story high-rise apartment. The housekeeper had left it open to air out the fumes after cleaning when Connor ran past and fell to his death. Eric was understandably crushed by his son’s unexpected and tragic death. Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven? I'll find my way through night and day 'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven The song moves even the hardest of hearts. The band 40 Fingers, however, make the song shine, perhaps a bit more brightly than its original version and the video is going viral with over 60,000 views within four days of its release. And the beauty of the song is not lost on listeners either. One listener commented, “Beautiful arrangement. My wife and I lost a daughter 3 years ago to opiates. Today would have been her 23rd birthday. I pray there are no tears where she is, only peace. Thank you for the music, you all are gifted.” While another wrote, “Perfect day for this to debut on YouTube as today is my Dad's birthday. He would have been 89. Beautiful rendition of a beautiful song!” While we no there are indeed no more tears in Heaven, we can pray for those who have lost loved ones. In the meantime, this is definitely a beautiful song not to be missed. Listen and share! He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelations 21:4

3 Women Sing Heartfelt Rendition Of 'God Bless America'

The talented trio of Charlotte Ave come together to honor our country with this beautiful performance of ‘God Bless America.’ This iconic song was written by written by Irving Berlin during World War I. He went on to revise the song before World War II. Over the years, this song has become a symbol of patriotism and love for the United States of America. “God bless America, land that I love Stand beside her and guide her Through the night with the light from above” Today, the three women of Charlotte Ave are taking on this legendary song and it is a performance you do not want to miss. Charlotte Ave is comprised of members Mandy, Olivia, and Lauryn. The trio of incredible vocalists met while serving on the worship team at their church in Nashville, Tennessee. That is when they decided to come together and share their God-given talent with the world. And it does not get much better than this heartfelt rendition of ‘God Bless America.’ “From the mountains to the prairies To the oceans white with foam God bless America, my home sweet home” When the women hit the iconic high notes, I was absolutely stunned. There is no doubt that these gifted women are meant to be performers and I am so glad that they are sharing their musical talents with the rest of the world. Psalm 33:12 “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!”

AGT Winner Kodi Lee Sings 'Georgia On My Mind'

America’s Got Talent winner Kodi Lee conjures up nostalgia with this heartfelt rendition of ‘Georgia On My Mind.’ The iconic tune was written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell in 1930. But it truly gained notoriety after blues singer Ray Charles recorded his own version in 1960. It was such a hit that the state of Georgia even named it their official state song two decades later. “Other arms will reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you, yeah” We first fell in love with this viral sensation after his incredible first audition on the fourteenth season of America’s Got Talent. Before his performance, we learned that Kodi is blind with Autism. But music has completely changed Kodi’s life and allows him to truly express himself in a whole new way. After Kodi’s performance of Donny Hathaway's "A Song For You," judge Gabrielle Union was moved to press her golden buzzer. Week after week, he impressed the nation with his incredible talent and humble attitude. Kodi Lee was ultimately named the winner and catapulted into stardom. Today, he’s sitting down at the piano to sing the classic words of ‘Georgia On My Mind.’ Georgia, yeah, Georgia No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no peace I find Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind, sing the song There’s something about hearing this song that takes us all back to another place and time. What a stunning performance from this talented young man.
