Four immensely gifted young men showed off their beautiful voices when they gave an outstanding and stunning a cappella rendition of The Beach Boys’ classic hit “Surfer Girl.”

The Beach Boys produced dozens of classic songs about enjoying the beach, the sun, California and the ocean. To change things, the guys from California also sang about cars. But for the most part, having “Fun, Fun, Fun” in the sun was their topic of choice. 

They say to write about what you know. In the case of The Beach Boys, I guess the same could be said about singing too, right?

In a clip posted on YouTube, a group of young men gave a stunning performance of a song from The Beach Boys about what else but the beach and the water: “Surfer Girl.” While standing in an empty stairwell, the four talented young men show off their beautiful harmonies as they belt out the lyrics to “Surfer Girl.”

“Little surfer little one
Made my heart come all undone
Do you love me, do you surfer girl
Surfer girl, my little surfer girl”

The Beach Boys are a group known the world over for their fantastic, pitch-perfect and dazzling harmonies. Mike Love, Brian Wilson and the rest of The Beach Boys had some of the best harmonies you’re likely to hear. 

No one will ever top a tune originally written and performed by The Beach Boys. They are an iconic group that has been around for decades, since the 1960s. Their tunes are still heard today, covered by other musicians and considered classics for a reason. 

But the four gentlemen in the short clip demonstrate their angelic voices, vocal skills and talent. It may not be at the level of The Beach Boys, but it’s pretty darn close!

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

“So darlin', darlin' stand, by me

Oh-oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me”

The song, ‘Stand By Me’ is a popular song many of us know the words to. These dads make great music together as they sing ‘Stand By Me’ to their kids in this clip from Dad Harmony. 

The kids love the song as you can see from the video. The three little boys in superhero costumes dance to the song and even the baby gets in on it. The two girls on the couch also appear to be loving the song. 

‘Stand By Me’ was originally performed in 1961 by singer-songwriter Ben E. King. The song was also written by him as well as Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and together they called themselves the pseudonym, Elmo Glick. 

According to Ben E. King, the song was inspired by a spiritual song written by Sam Cooke and JW Alexander titled ‘Stand By Me Father.’

You have probably heard a cover of the song as it has been done at least 400 times over the years. 

This sweet rendition of the song sung by a bunch of dads is heartwarming to listen to. The dads all sound so good together and the kids will remember this for years to come. 

So many in the comments loved this video as they left comments such as, “ You are all such great examples of dads that care for their children. You have great talent and watching you with your children dancing and smiling is great. I hope that this carries on through their generation” and “One of my favorite songs made even better with beautiful harmonies, dancing superheroes and the beautiful smile from the young lady near the end of the video!”

“See, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” - Psalms 127:3

An incredibly talented children’s choir, the PS22 Chorus, turned in a stunning cover of a Bob Dylan classic, “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go.”

The legendary Bob Dylan is routinely considered one of the greatest songwriters ever. His voice is certainly unique and is not for everyone. However, his gift for songwriting is hard to dispute. His songs, even those decades old, continue to be performed and covered by other musicians. 

Now, the PS22 Chorus can be included in that long list of musicians who have covered and performed a tune written by Bob Dylan. In a clip posted on YouTube, the youngsters put their immense musical skills and gifts on full display when they sang out the classic from 1975. 

Of course, the classic folk song from the 70s is all about being deeply in love with another person. The lyrics paint a picture of someone so in love that they will continually long for that individual as soon as they leave. 

“Dragon clouds so high above 
I’ve only known careless love
It always just hit me from below
But this time ‘round it’s more correct”

In addition to sounding terrific, the young men and women of the PS22 Chorus seem to genuinely enjoy performing. All of them sway back and forth in their seats, some even pantomime the lyrics originally penned by Bob Dylan. 

This is far from the only song the kids have sung. On their YouTube channel are hundreds more performance videos. They have sung other classics such as “Let It Be” by The Beatles, The Beach Boys’ “Fun, Fun, Fun” and just about every Christmas tune imaginable. Plus, you never know who may pop up in their videos as the kids often sing with some of the biggest names in music.

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”

In this clip from Larry’s Country Diner, we start off by watching Hannah Miller, Dan Miller’s daughter, playing the fiddle. Dan, Hannah, and Wendy Corr make up Dan Miller’s Cowboy Music Revue. They are singing a cover of Suzy Bigguss’ hit song, ‘Aces.’

Hannah starts with the vocals and her voice is mesmerizing. Dan and Wendy join in to make for a beautiful performance. 

Dan Miller’s Cowboy Music Revue has been performing around the world for 19 years. In addition to Larry’s Country Diner, they have also been featured on the Travel Channel, ESPN, and the Great American Country Network. 

After college, Dan went to LA to pursue his dreams. He found jobs in acting, radio, and television and that led to performing on stage in places like Reno and Lake Tahoe. He moved to Nashville to pursue a recording career. 

When he and his family moved to Cody, WY, he continued to host television shows. Fellow musicians from Nashville started to come and perform as part of Dan’s “Cody Wild West Shows.”

Hannah started performing on stage with her Dad at the age of six. She started to play the fiddle at the age of nine and later added her harmony vocals and became a full-fledged member of the band as well as adding in the mandolin. 

Wendy joined the band in 2008 as a bass player and harmony vocalist. She had performed in community theater productions and sang for local events. 

Larry’s Country Diner is “the wholesome, down-home, nationally-broadcasted variety show known for its spontaneity, impromptu dialogue and live-to-tape performances by the best country music artists of yesterday and today.”

The performance by Dan Miller’s Cowboy Music Revue is an example of the amazing talent you can find on Larry’s Country Diner. 

“My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to you; and my soul, which you have redeemed.” - Psalms 71:23

This cover of Elvis Presey’s ‘Fever’ will blow you away and make you look twice at this Elvis lookalike. 

Elliot James Reay brings his Elvis-like looks, strong vocals, and charm to each of his performances. 

‘Fever’ was written by Eddie Cooley and Otis Blackwell. The song was released in 1960 by Elvis on his Elvis is Back album. Originally ‘Fever’ was recorded by Little Willie John in 1956. Many others have covered the song including the popular version by Peggy Lee in 1958.

“Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear”

This version of ‘Fever’ has Elliot standing in front of a microphone, giving it all he's got. However, Elliot blew up on TikTok by singing covers at home, while doing normal everyday things. 

You can catch him singing ‘Great Balls of Fire’ by Jerry Lee Lewis while making coffee or ‘Pretty Woman’ by Roy Orbison while cleaning his counter. You can also find covers of songs by The Penguin and the Righteous Brothers on his YouTube channel.

Elliot doesn’t just stick to the classics. You can also find covers of more modern artists such as Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, and One Direction. However, Elvis is a favorite, not only because of how many covers he does of his but also his Elvis-like style. 

Many in the comments have much to say about this young man’s music. One commenter says, “A little bit Elvis, a little bit James Dean.” and another comments “This young man has the IT factor in spades. I would love Elliot to do JAILHOUSE ROCK. What do you think, folks?”

Clearly, he has found his audience. 

“Sing to the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.” - Psalm 98:5

The following lyrics are popular and catchy and are a part of this performance of an ‘I'm Into Something Good/Happy Together’ medley. 

“Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together” 

This 4-woman quartet called Spicy is performing at the 2024 Next Generation Barbershop Junior Varsity Quartet Contest in this video. This contest was presented by the Barbershop Harmony Society in New York City on January 11, 2024. 

This contest gives young singers a platform to make music together in a peer-ranked environment. All participants need to be age 18 or under. 

According to the Barbershop Harmony Society, “Barbershop is a style of arranging in close, four part, a cappella harmony; it is not an era, style of music, or genre. The melody is usually in the second voice with harmony above and below. The arranger harmonizes every melody note with few passing tones or doubles, and creates more harmonic movement by adding secondary dominant chord progressions. The baritone part functions in a unique way, filling in the missing note of each chord.”

These four young women sing a medley of ‘I'm Into Something Good/Happy Together’ and it’s lovely. Their voices flow together well and make beautiful music together. This medley is popular with Barbershop quartets. 

‘I’m Into Something Good’ was made famous by Herman’s Hermits in 1964. ‘Happy Together’ was recorded by the Turtles in 1967. Both are popular songs loved by many and are a great choice for this musical performance. 

Good luck to these young women of Spicy as they continue to make music together. 

“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;” - Ephesians 5:19

There is something special about a daughter following in her father’s footsteps. 

In this video, Ashley Campbell pays tribute to her father country music legend, Glen Campbell, by singing ‘Highwayman’. She performed with Carl Jackson at Larry’s Country Diner, a variety show set in a southern eatery to pay tribute to Glen’s classic song.

Ashley Campbell, 37, is a country music singer and songwriter and the 2nd youngest child of Glen Campbell with his wife, Kimberly Woollen. Ashley and her siblings in the band Instant People performed in her father’s final concert tour, Glen Campbell: The Goodbye Tour from August 2011 to November 2012. While Ashley played the banjo and keyboards, her brother Cal was on the drums, and her brother Shannon was on the guitar. 

Ashley released her debut single, ‘Remembering’ in 2015 which is about her father, and his struggles with Alzheimer’s Disease. Her debut album, The Lonely One, came out in 2018. 

The song, ‘Highwayman’ was written by singer and songwriter Jimmy Webb, influenced by the highwayman, Jonathan Wild. The song was first recorded by Jimmy in 1977, and Glen Cambell recorded his version in 1979. 

In 1985, the new group Highwayman was formed with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. They picked the name because of this song. 

“I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow”

This performance by Ashley would make her dad proud. She has an amazing voice and together with Carl, makes for a powerful rendition of this song. What a beautiful tribute to her father who did pass away in 2017. 

“Honor your father and your mother: and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” - Matthew 19:19 

Two unbelievably talented musicians, Lukas Nelson and Lily Meola, have turned in an outstanding and chilling cover of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s classic, “Homeward Bound.”

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are legendary musicians. Their musical partnership produced classic tunes that are still widely played decades after they were first released. Songs like “Bridge over Troubled Water,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “The Boxer” and “The Sound of Silence” have been covered thousands of times by hundreds of musicians. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Lukas Nelson, son of legendary country musician Willie Nelson, teams up with Lily Meola for an awe-inspiring performance of another Simon and Garfunkel classic, “Homeward Bound.”

The iconic song, as the title indicates, is about a traveling musician out on the road, playing an endless stream of gigs. He’s been on the road playing so long that everywhere he goes and plays blends together. It all looks the same. He wants nothing but to go home, and that’s where he’s headed as the song begins.

“Homeward bound
Home where my thought’s escapin’
Home where my music’s playin’
Home where my love lies waitin’”

Lukas and Lily’s video is nothing special. They are standing outside on either side of a large microphone, and Lukas strums on the guitar. It’s not even a long video, at a little over a minute and a half. But in that short time, Lukas and Lily display unbelievable talent.

Their voices are absolutely magical, working perfectly with one another as they sing the iconic lyrics. This is a marvelous cover that could and should be listened to repeatedly. Some may even argue that this version is superior to the original by Simon and Garfunkel. I would definitely be one leaning in that direction. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

The late and legendary musician B.J. Thomas turned in a stunning performance of his classic “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head’ during an appearance on Larry’s Country Diner.

Life can often be an unfair experience. Everyone encounters and is forced to deal with a series of painful, heartbreaking and gut-wrenching circumstances. No one will escape this lost and broken world unscathed. All will be left battered and bruised in one way or another. 

Everyday living with all its worries, stresses and burdens can become overwhelming. It may even feel like you’re constantly under your own rain cloud. No matter what you do or where you go, rain falls and storms disrupt those plans and good intentions. However, as much as we may want to during those times, giving up is never an option. The rain will clear up, and the sun will return to the sky eventually.

In a clip posted on YouTube, B.J. Thomas sings his beloved hit. It’s a tune about that very situation. Despite the rain that continues to fall, he sings that he refuses to let it stop him or get him down.

“But there’s one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won’t defeat me, it won’t be long
Till happiness steps up to greet me”

What an optimistic song and message! Despite everything that may be going on, no matter how bad things may get or how hopeless a situation might appear, things will improve. Followers of Jesus Christ can rest assured in this idea. 

Even when He may appear absent and not working, God remains in control. He has promised to be faithful, by our side throughout anything and everything we may encounter. He has never broken a promise before, and there is no reason to believe He will start now.

Isaiah 41:10 “Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.”

A man was captured on video sitting at and playing a piano suspended more than 30 feet in the air.

Musicians and artists are always looking for ways to push themselves and their talent. They constantly seek ways to use their God-given gifts to create beautiful sounds in new and inventive methods. This is in keeping with the good Lord’s desire for us to use our talents, gifts and skills for a healthy return. What good is a gift if it’s never opened and used? 

A clip posted on YouTube shows how one man used his musical abilities to hit some actual high notes! 

The man, Swiss pianist Alain Roche, is strapped in a chair as his fingers tickle the ivories, with them dancing back and forth on the keys. The piece he plays, according to the video, is called “Winter Solstice.” He does all this while he and the piano are dangling 33 feet in the air.

In addition to him and the piano being suspended in the air, Alain must contend with the elements. In the clip, he mentions that depending on the weather, whether it be the rain, snow, wind or chilling temperatures, the piece changes a little bit every time.

The clip states that Alain’s insane piano performance was part of an art exhibit. His piano playing even managed to capture an audience. Several people brought lawn chairs and blankets with them as they bundled up to take in the one-of-a-kind performance. 

What an odd but interesting take on playing the piano. Most people play the large instrument while it sits on the ground. Playing the piano while it’s hanging 30 feet in the air is one way to test your skills. Those who play the piano and have a fear of heights probably would not fare too well. 

Psalm 104:33 “I will make songs to the Lord all my life; I will make melody to my God while I have my being.”

Kelly Clarkson kicked off an episode of her daytime talk show The Kelly Clarkson Show with a chilling and outstanding cover of “Don’t Worry Baby,” a tune by The Beach Boys.

The Beach Boys are one of the most iconic and beloved bands ever. Since the band’s formation, which goes back decades, the guys have produced a handful of classic and memorable songs. Tunes like “Good Vibrations,” “California Girls,” “Sloop John B” and “God Only Knows” demonstrate their beautiful and stunning harmonies. Their songs will not be forgotten and will likely continue to be covered well into the future.

One of those musicians covering a hit from The Beach Boys now includes the original American Idol winner, Mrs. Kelly Clarkson. Kelly’s rendition of “Don’t Worry Baby,” is beautiful. She uses her unmistakable voice to belt out those lyrics first made famous by The Beach Boys.

“But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says, ‘Don’t worry, baby’
Don’t worry, baby”

No one will ever be able to top the original version of this beloved hit song from The Beach Boys. But if there is one person with the talent to try it, it’s Kelly Clarkson. 

Following her impressive vocal performance, the studio audience erupts, showing Kelly and her band their appreciation with thunderous applause, screams and shouts. 

After her performance, Kelly gives some background information on The Beach Boys' tune.

“In his memoir, Brian Wilson wrote that he composed it after hearing The Ronette song “Be My Baby,”  which is also such a classic,” Kelly said. “He heard that for the first time and apparently, he called his lyricist right away, and within an hour of the words being written, Brian knew he had a hit.”

And Brian was correct! It’s a song that has stood the test of time, like other songs from The Beach Boys.

Psalm 105:2 “Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.”

Check out this delightful video of Exile performing “Woke Up in Love” on Larry’s Country Diner. You might be left wearing a silly smile—or a foolish grin!

Exile (a.k.a. The Exiles) began performing together in Richmond, Kentucky in 1963. These guys have been around for a while! However, they sound just like they did when we first heard this #1 hit, released in January 1983. The tune is catchy and contagious; there’s rhyme and rhythm. Even Larry’s cast member, country music disc jockey and Nashville television host Keith Bilbrey, catches the beat with a gnome that he picks up off the diner’s counter. 

And, the message? Well, it’s just pretty romantic. What girl wouldn’t swoon upon hearing their love say such sweet things?

Here are four lines from a verse of “Woke Up in Love:”

Used to run around
In no particular direction
I ran across a lot of pretty women
But I couldn't make a connection

Joining Exile for this toe-tapping performance is guitarist Jimmy Capps, who played the sheriff on Larry’s Country Diner. In addition to Exile and Mr. Capps’s amazing performance, the video offers a fun look back to simpler times. Vintage forks and spoons, old-timey art—a few pieces hanging crooked on the paneled wall, and a postcard-framed door remind us of yesteryear!

Some may have forgotten that Exile, appearing very comfortably country here, once recorded rock music. In fact, their biggest hit was “Kiss You All Over,” released in 1978. It was another love song, even if it felt a bit more “intimate.” 

Once filmed in Nashville, Larry’s Country Diner is no longer producing new shows. However, there are 807 past episodes and/or videos with Sheriff Capps and Keith, as well as “church lady Nadine” (of course, there’s a Nadine), waitress Renae, and Larry. Those videos are available to watch on their YouTube Channel, which has nearly 55,000 subscribers.  

After 6 decades, Exile is still performing, too! That’s pretty cool!

“Strengthen me with raisin cakes, refresh me with apples, for I am weak with love.” Song of Solomon 2:5

What better way to enjoy a day of shopping than to stop and listen to some great music?

In this video, you can experience some of that with this cover of ‘Until I Found You’ by Stephen Sanchez.  A young Ed Sheeran look alike, Fionn Whelan is on vocals, and Allie Sherlock is on vocals and guitar. 

Allie Sherlock and Fionn Whelan are doing what is called “busking” or street performing. This is when an artist performs in public for gratuities. And in today’s world, they can then put their performances online to be seen by many more people. Using sites such as YouTube and Instagram to grow their audiences worldwide. 

Fionn is a 13-year-old Irish musician from Wicklow, Ireland. He was introduced as Grafton Street’s Ed Sheeran by Allie Sherlock when he sang ‘Halleluiah’ with her in August of 2023. Grafton Street in Dublin is a popular place for busking and shopping. 

Allie is 18 and from Cork, Ireland who first got the world’s attention when a video she posted on Facebook of busking on Grafton Street went virtual. She sang Ed Sheeran’s ‘Supermarket Flowers.’

‘Until I Found You’ is by Stephen Sanchez and was released in 2021 and became popular through social media. The song has also appeared in a few popular television shows. 

“I would never fall in love again until I found her
I said, "I would never fall unless it's you I fall into"
I was lost within the darkness, but then I found her
I found you”

Allie and Fionn give quite the performance and have captivated the audience as you can see towards the end of the video. What a duo! It is hard to believe that Fionn is only 13 years old. He is going to be going places as the years go on. 

“For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” - Romans 11:29

A couple of incredibly gifted musicians put a decidedly different spin on a beloved classic from Celine Dion, giving “My Heart Will Go On” a metal makeover.

The Academy Award-winning film “Titanic,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, is one of the biggest, most profitable movies in cinema history. Similarly, Celine Dion’s tune from that film, “My Heart Will Go On,” is one of the most popular, widely recognized songs ever. From the first few opening notes of the song, most people will instantly recognize it. 

Additionally, the song is performed by Celine Dion, who possesses otherworldly, God-given talent. Her voice can reach, hit and hold notes that other musicians can only dream of. She is easily one of the best singers of all time. Even if you’re not a big Celine Dion fan, the woman has an angelic and awe-inspiring voice. 

So, since the song is so beloved, widely recognized by the masses and originally performed by one of the best singers of all time, why not try covering it, right? No pressure in undertaking that endeavor.

Well, that’s just what a couple of musicians did. In a clip posted on YouTube, Dan Vasc and Garrett J Peters performed a metal version of “My Heart Will Go On.” And it’s outstanding, giving the tune an entirely different sound and feel.

“Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
This is how I know you go on”

Surprisingly, it’s a cover that could and should be listened to repeatedly. It’s that good! Not saying that it’s an improvement of the original because that would be impossible to do, but this one is so much fun.

Dan is a super-talented singer and puts his musical ability on full display here. What a voice!

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

What an outstanding performance by the bluegrass band, Southern Raised!

Southern Raised is a family band from the Ozark mountains made up of members, Emily Clayton, Lindsay Killingsworth, Matt Reith, and Alex Clayton. 

In this performance, we find Matt on vocals and the guitar, Emily on vocals and the mandolin, Alex on the banjo, and Lindsay on vocals and bass. Together they create a lively rendition of the classic song, ‘16 Tons.’ 

The song begins with the banjo, then the mandolin and guitar join in, with the bass. Matt’s deeper voice harmonizes well with Lindsay’s and Emily’s voices to create a perfect bluegrass performance. 

The lyrics start with, 

“Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong”

‘16 Tons’ was first written by Merle Travis about a coal miner and based on life in the mines of Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. It was first recorded in 1946 and released in 1947. 

In 1955, Tennessee Ernie Ford recorded the song and the song started to get popular, hitting the Billboard country music chart and the pop music chart. Many in the comments even brought up Tennessee Ernie Ford, remembering how he made this song the classic that it is.

One commenter says, “I can’t help but think, that somewhere in heaven, Tennessee Ernie Ford is smiling as a single tear rolls down his cheek. Beautiful!!!” and another, “Being from Tennessee, I sure did enjoy hearing this one.  Plus, Tennessee Ernie Ford is smiling!  Thanks!  It never grows old.”

This song is a favorite among many people, whether they first heard the song years ago, or this Southern Raised version was their first experience with it.  

“That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;” - Amos 6:5

A young woman put her stunning and awe-inspiring voice on display during a dazzling performance of the classic song “Beauty and the Beast.”

Celine Dion has one of the best, most powerful and most recognizable voices in history. That beautiful and unmistakable voice has earned her worldwide fame and won her five Grammy Awards. She is also one of the best-selling musicians of all time. In her career, which has spanned decades, she has sold more than 200 million records, according to Forbes.

Celine is a world-class, legendary singer. Someone with Celine’s level of talent does not come around every day. She belongs to an exclusive group of singers that includes Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Adele and Aretha Franklin. Those women could and do sing as few others have before them, constantly astounding with their impressive vocal performances.  

So, whenever someone takes on a song made famous by the legendary Celine Dion, it’s always going to be a tall task. That’s just what one young woman did when she beautifully performed “Beauty and the Beast,” the song from the Disney animated classic of the same name.

In the clip posted on YouTube, the young woman sits next to a young man who plays the iconic tune on the guitar. She begins belting out the memorable lyrics, demonstrating her outstanding and awe-inspiring voice. Her level of talent is mind-blowing!

“Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends unexpectedly”

The entire performance is outstanding. God has blessed her with an angelic voice that must be heard to be believed. How is a voice like that coming out of someone so young?

In addition to the two talented musicians, the video also features a second young man who didn’t want to be left out of the video. Throughout the clip, he shows off his impressive dance moves and jumps up and down, attempting to touch the garage door.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

An incredibly talented young woman, Allie Sherlock, put on a dazzling and soulful performance of “Islands in the Stream” by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.

Dolly Parton, in a career that has spanned decades, has starred in films, and on television and has produced dozens of classic, beloved hit songs. Tunes like “9 to 5,” “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” are iconic Dolly Parton songs. 

In addition to her many film roles and catchy, upbeat songs like “9 to 5,” Dolly is well-known for her many collaborations with the late Kenny Rogers. Like Dolly, Kenny was also a multi-talented performer, appearing in films and on television and producing music. Likely, when one thinks of Dolly and Kenny singing together, there is one song that immediately comes to mind: “Islands in the Stream.”

In a clip posted on YouTube, Allie Sherlock performed “Islands in the Streams,” on the side of the street for dozens of passing citizens. Topping a song from two legends is never going to happen. The best that anyone could hope to do with that song is to make it their own, which Allie manages to do.

“Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?

Allie’s unique and distinctive voice produces a thoroughly enjoyable version of the song made famous by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. Allie, once again, shows that she is immensely talented with her cover of “Islands in the Stream.” 

Her version could be listened to endlessly on repeat without ever tiring of it. Those partial to the original can still enjoy this cover because she doesn’t try to outdo Dolly and Kenny, which is an impossible task. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Get ready to shake, rattle, and roll because Elliot James Reay, an Elvis lookalike, sings a chilling ‘Earth Angel’ cover.  The Elvis lookalike sensation is taking us on a musical journey with his soul-stirring rendition. This performance isn't just All Shook Up; it's a romantic hip-swinging extravaganza that'll make you say, "Thank you, thank you very much!"

Decked out in a white t-shirt that would make the King himself proud and with sideburns that could rival Elvis's most iconic look, Elliot is turning up the heat with his musical charm. Elliot made the internet swoon when he sang his first rendition of Elvis Presley's songs while he was cleaning the house and doing dishes. In less than two months, he garnered millions of fans around the world. 

As the first notes of ‘Earth Angel’ fill the air, you can't help but feel the romantic vibes emanating from Elliot's performance. His voice, smooth as velvet, takes you on a journey back to the days when Elvis Presley ruled the charts and stole hearts around the world. With each lyric, Elliot brings a touch of nostalgia and a dash of contemporary flair, making it clear that he's not just an Elvis lookalike; he's a heartthrob in his own right.

Watching Elliot James Reay's ‘Earth Angel’ cover is like taking a trip down Lover's Lane with the King as your guide. It's not just a cover; it's a love letter to the magic of Elvis and a declaration that romance is timeless. As Elliot croons each verse, you might find yourself singing, "Earth angel, earth angel. Will you be mine, my darling dear? Love you all the time, I'm just a fool. A fool in love with you.”

Elliot James Reay, the Elvis-inspired heartthrob, is more than just a hunk-a-hunk of burning love; he's a musical sensation with a voice that'll make your heart skip a beat. 

With a romantic croon that could melt even the iciest of hearts, Elliot channels the spirit of the King in every note, leaving audiences all shook up with admiration. Elliot serenades with a velvety charm that's simply irresistible. His performances are like a romantic rendezvous with the King of Rock 'n' Roll, and as he belts out those tunes, you can't help but feel the ‘love me tender’ vibes in the air. Elliot James Reay doesn't just sing; he romances the mic. 

We hope you enjoyed this romantic melody and performance! 

An unbelievably talented group of musicians, 40 Fingers, turned in a masterful and awe-inspiring performance, putting together a medley of Michael Jackson’s biggest and most beloved hits.

Michael Jackson is one of the best-selling and most influential musicians of all time. He changed music throughout his illustrious career. Many musicians today still try to replicate and mimic his unmistakable sound and jaw-dropping dance moves. Some are more successful than others. But there will never be another Michael Jackson.

In a clip posted on YouTube, 40 Fingers, a group of gifted guitarists, expertly strum their instruments as they play several of Michael’s most recognizable and classic tunes. Their medley of the King of Pop’s songs is one of the more delightful mashups you’re likely to hear. 

The 7-minute video begins with the guys strumming along and playing “Black or White.” After several thoroughly enjoyable moments of that song, the guys move on to “Smooth Criminal.” Next up in the medley of Michael’s most iconic tracks is “Beat It.”

Then to change things up, the guys go back to a song from Michael’s childhood, when he was a member of the Jackson 5, “I Want You Back.” Around the 3:45 mark, the guys move into what is, without question, Michael’s best song: “Billie Jean.”

Anyone who liked any of Michael’s music will love 40 Fingers medley. This is such a fun listen. Seconds into the clip, you’ll find yourself singing the words to those iconic tunes. 

The guys, once again, demonstrate that they are masters of their craft. There isn’t a missed note or a false move from any of them throughout the clip. They also seamlessly transition from one song to the next, almost giving it the feel of one long, extended song. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Jeremy Renner sings ‘Wait,’ a special song for his daughter Ava and it’s beautiful. 

As the video starts, the title card tells us it is January 2023, and then says, “To my daughter Ava.” We start to see clips of the actor, singer-songwriter, guitarist, keyboardist, and drummer, Jeremy Renner in his house. 

He starts talking, “To my daughter, my everything. My only thing, my number one…” 

Jeremy then breaks into song after about a minute of talking. During the rest of the video, you can see video clips of him with his daughter through the years, and then a grown-up version of her, looking to the future. 

The ending scene is his daughter in a wedding dress as an adult and Jeremy standing there, holding her hands and smiling. You can see he is wearing a bracelet that says, “Dad” on it which was shown earlier in the video. 

“For whatever it's worth, I know that it hurts
You are the ocean and I am the earth
Would you wait, wait
Wait for me now?”

These lyrics for ‘Wait’ ask her to wait for him. To have patience, and understanding as he struggles to express himself. 

The song was released in January of 2024, on the first anniversary of Jeremy’s near-fatal snowplow accident. In his Instagram post about the song, he writes, “New musical diary — story of life, death, recovery, all things learned along the way “Wait” lit Jan 1. I can’t wait to share more with you.”

Jeremey is not a new singer as he has performed songs on several soundtracks such as ‘American Pie’ for Love Comes to the Executioner and ‘Drink Alone’ for North Country. He released his first extended play, The Medicine in March of 2020.
