Thank you all so much I truly appreciate the love!! Feel free to subscribe to my channel and ring that bell. I Would love for everyone to continue following my journey there are so many great things ahead. About a month ago my original Instagram was hacked at 30k after things started happening. Having faith that everything going to be just fine is what I’m all about but here’s my new one. Once more thank you all for the loving support

I love the older gentleman's reaction right when you started singing
New Sub. U have a sultry and beautiful voice🙏🏾 (MrsNewOrleans 💃🏾)
Great job 😎
Brought tears to my eyes! I PRAY THAT YOU GO VERY FAR❣️ God has blessed you with a gift fa certain❣️🙏🏾
This is beautiful. If I close my eyes Im transported to another time. You do the song justice and I absolutely am touched! Love it❤
So I’m the white guy you don’t see in that shop, but I stayed like the rest of you .. amazed at what I was hearing. He changed the moment with the first note. This young man has real talent. He has the intensity .. not just the notes. If you can sit on a stool in a barber shop and let this fly, be assured you’re taking the rest of us with you. Great respect.
❤ Marvelous! ❤ Literally and Physically Gave Me Chills! 😊
So nice of you to acknowledge his talent. Thank you.
@@sophiegoode8290 👍🏽♥️
Sir please leave the shop 😅 jk. Yes I agree this young man should definitely continue moving forward with his talent# gifted

Just beautiful!!!
It’s early morning “Joe” for me. Took me back to my childhood days when my uncles and aunts would come over to our house for weekend gatherings and somewhere during the course of the evening they would break out in song. Wow!!! I surely miss those times. Thanks so much for sharing your God given talent. You have truly blessed my soul in so many ways!!!
I'm a 68 year old white English man from the North and a hard bitten working class bloke and I've fought against inequality and racism all my life and that song has always touched me but this rendition brought me to tears well done young man you made an old white man very moved ❤☮✊
I'm a child born to Jamaican parents born and raised up North Liverpool to be exact. And many hard working people like yourself showed my family love kindness. 💞

@@guineverejackson1201 That's the Britain that I'm talking about.
The song should move all people no matter what color,you had to go there.

AMAZING! I love how the ENTIRE room got quiet during his performance. You could tell every single person there was thoroughly enjoying/feeling the music. I love Sam Cooke and all the wonderful people in this world who appreciate great music.
This kind of thing always happens in "our spaces." (At least in my experience)Brings our young and old together. Batons are passed. Our young get elevated by the elders. It's a beautiful thing. ❤
I'm here in 2023. And this precious man with the heavenly voice doesn't need music. His vocal chords alone is music!!!! I'm a 67 year old Texas caucasion woman, and the honey flooding my soul listening to him sing Mr. Cookes song, is covering me from head to foot! Just beautiful!!!!
2024 here 🎉🎉
It was like Sam tapped him on the shoulder and said, "brother sing my song and make me proud"
Smiling
Girl, you got that right. As soon as he sang "I was born...", I knew it was on and poppin'! It got so quiet so fast, you could hear a pin drop. WHAT AN AMAZING VOICE!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
exactly
That right there is soul... it skips generation and then gets soaked up by another..😍 then oozes back out again.. welcome back Sam Cook.
He is the closest ive EVER heard someone get to sounding like Sam Cooke himself. I'm proud of this young man. He KILLED IT!
🎉czcams.com/video/3Nua5klb4Os/video.html
Amazing GOD Bless him 😢😊
Deitrick Haddon can sing it too
Yes he did!❤
Yes he did!❤
I’m a huge Sam Cooke fan , this man’s voice is like smooth velvet . Please tell me this man has been given a recording contract or one as a Sam tribute . Beautiful
He touched so many hearts, with his outstanding vocals ❤❤❤
From laughter to silence to praise... That boy was killing them notes... salute
Factuality idk 🤷🏿 what they was laughing at they could never do what this man did this is one of 2 songs that bring me to tears 😭
...in slides 🫡
This man needs to sing for the world to hear. We need it.
WORD!❤
amen!
I remember when Sam
Cooke's original song came out and I still love it at age 70. This young man has something that wasn't in that song, something raw and so sad that it made me cry at my age. Keep going young man. Your talent is rare
Awesome!
IT MOVED MY SOUL TODAY, HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF SAM COOKE'S AND HE DID THIS SONG JUSTICE!
Im 72, this song initiated from my era, but its for everbody, regardless of age.... If i were there at that barber shop, i would be jumping up with my hands raised to the sky in praise of the Lord for His blessing this young son with such a beautiful gift. Whew! Amen! 3:50
Im a 64 year old woman from a small town called Yukon, Oklahoma. I listened to Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles, because my mom loved soul music more than Frank Sinatra and those other singers of the standards back then. She taught me to live by "The Golden Rule", which i have done my entire life and always will! Listening to this young man sing one of my favorites of Sam Cooke's songs, it was like he was alive once more!!!! You really do have an amazing talent!!!!
Me too! Thanks from Tulsa!
Black folks, please never stop singing!! You have brought joy and love to me for 69 years. God bless you and your voices!!
Have you ever visited a African American church ,if not YOU should ! 😊 there you will feel the real holy spirit and the singing OH MY GOODNESS 😊
@@rangely-og4pzI have and it was an amazing experience that a young white woman of 18 to this day still remembers 👍🏼
well they into hipphop ryt now wasting their talent!
Wow someone with an actual voice. Natural, textured, perfect control. This dude is no joke.
YaaY ‼️🥳💥
America's Got Talent!
👏👏🫶 💫
Get that man on The Voice!
@@robertray6021 🔥😎
Bro. You need to get on American Idle quick.
Have mercy, that touched my soul! This gentleman is truly blessed and gifted by God above! 🎶🕊️🙏❤️🕯️
This is one of the most poignant and powerful songs I've ever heard and moves my soul every time. The world was robbed the day Sam cooke died, phenomenal voice. Well done young man👍👍👍
They don't make music like this anymore. This man sang this perfectly!🤗
Amen to that I don’t even turn my radio on. I will be old school for the rest of my life. thank God I was born in the 70s.
💯 Facts
Miss those times ....
His voice commands silence and respect. Man, this man can sing!
One of my favorite songs, and he did it justice.
My hat is off!
Simply beautiful ❤❤❤
@@jellybeandakota6140 I agree 100%!
Well Said
Wow! You didn’t just “pull it off”- you owned it! Beautiful and perfect version of a great song. Huge voice and huge talent!!!!
Awesome! 63 yrs here and I've always had a warm heart for Sam Cooke ❤❤❤ You have an amazing voice young man! ❤
Imagine having a talent to silence a room into awe! What a gift ❤
Takes balls to even attempt a Sam Cooke song and you killed it. Beautifully done. Gave me chills just like Mr. Cooke's version still does.
Facts!! You just took the words out my mouth!! My second time watching and chills down my spine!!😍😍😍😍
If u got the voice it's not Difficult My People ❤❤
It is hard for those that were not abused in horrific ways. No matter years to pass CHANGE HAS TO COME...We are not second or more class citizens. OUR BLOOD AND SWEAT MADE THIS COUNTRY. I CRY ALWAYS SEEING THE HATE STILL SO ACTIVE ! SLAVERY IS IN OUR GENES. AS A CANCER THAT IS HARD TO CURE...BUT THIS SONG IS OUR HOPE ....CHANGE MUST COME !!!
AMEN!
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for singing young man! God bless.
❤ I could listen to this lovely young man sing for hours. Beautiful voice.
So true. Love it. Top draws. From Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦
Man he sings with conviction and that’s God’s Gift I have to tell That young Man Keep Singing 😊
Best rendition ever. Sam is smiling right now. This is what pain feels like.
Sam Cooke would be proud to see & hear his music legacy pass on through this young man! Respect!
I know this is 2 yrs after-the-fact but I came across it while looking for some Motown to listen to while I was re-building my deck. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
Thank Lord for letting see this video. This young man really did Bless me with his singing. This was one if my Uncle's favorite song. We played it at his funeral.❤️❤️❤️🔥🙏
HE HAD ME CRYING, NO DISRESPECT INTENDED BUT NO ONE SANGS LIKE US FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT WE SANG FROM OUR STRUGGLES DEEP DOWN FROM WITHIN!
NAME SOMETHING WE CAN'T DO
That's why the enemy took our voice and replaced the vibration with gangster rap and hypersexual trash. They don't want the world to hear our cries and for us to flow in a positive vibration. Music is the most effective tool to alter personality 😢
@@guineverejackson1201 GOOD POINT
FACTS!!!
@@guineverejackson1201#Facts
You made an 80 year old white nan cry, that was so incredible. Thank you so much!
This 75 year guy, also shed a tear from his eye.
I'm 65 I seen Jackie Wilson at the Apollo when I was little before he passed him and Sam Cooke were my favorite singers.
Bravo from a fellow human
That's what they,call...a good... Tune! Damn you are so...GOOOOOODDDD!!!
❤
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! ❤ Today’s music can’t compare with the soul of the 60’s era, and you did the song Justice!! Much success to you; we need real talent such as yours.❤
Very well sung and delivered! Thank God for Your gift! You sang that from the depths of your soul and I loved it! God has much in store for you!
He's singing from the heart, he ate Sam Cooke's song up...man this dude has to be recognized by someone, sign hin to a record deal asap 🙏🏾👍🏽💜
Still one of the most powerful songs ever written. Well done my man, very well done.
Yes it is!
That was my mother's song. You done well young man.
Along with "Strange Fruit"
Absolutely, stunning voice well done young king 🤴🏾👌🏾
That’s my nephew
Young man you are truly Blessed. It's been said that not too many can sing this song like the Great, Sam Cooke, but you did it. You are truly Annointed!
I look forward to seeing your great success in the future! I wish you all the best! May God always bless you and keep you!🙏🏿💪🏿💓
This guy needs to go to auditions for The Voice or AGT! Well done!
When he started singing he gave me CHILLS!!!!
MAN!!!
I am a 70 year old whit woman.....never into blues or jazz, but that young man's voice gave me chill bumps!!!
BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!!
Nothing short of fabulous. Haven't heard this sound in over 60 years...
Beautifully sung by this talented young man. This was not an easy song to sing, but he did effortlessly! What a beautiful voice God has blessed you with! Somebody give this talented man a contract!!!❤❤
Awesome! ❤
I am in awe!! The young man sung exceptionally well. His own authenticity and voice with conviction. Making older white men cry is phenomenal!!! Keep singing young man; keep singing ❤😊.
I love that this happens in a barber shop. Feels so organic, and what this song was meant for. Sam would be proud.
I teared up.😢 Touching rendition. That song and what it represented at an important time in our history has so much meaning. It also epitomizes SOUL Music; the words and the arrangement. As the saying goes, you understood the assignment, young man. BRAVO!!!
The older we get, the harder it becomes to realize that we're wrong, But we're all wrong about something, even on the day we die. Well sung Sir!
This young man KILLED this song!!! I know Sam Cooke is smiling down from Heaven...
Yes sir
… from heaven…. Lol… or screaming up from Hell… just saying
We are smiling from earth in remembrance of Mr Cook’s gift to the world. We don’t have evidence of a heaven but Sam was energized in that voice and that was evident. But yes the young man voice was beautiful. Agreed
He's not in heaven, he's still asleep in the grave.
@@darkchoklit6399 He's not in heaven, he's still asleep in his grave.
This gave me chills! You sang that song Brother!
WOW! Old soul right here! Love his soulful voice! Beautifully rendered! 👵🏽👋🏾🦅☀️🦅❤️🦅
I totally got chills too💕
Amen!
Nice to see you in here Homestead. You got a couple of pipes in tune (aka Aretha) with the soulful times too. Im a fan of you and Mr. H.
This guy has it nailed to the barnyard door. Just awesome to hear the old songs sung by the past generations.
Not like Sam Cooke though. He was just ok 4 me. Everybody wanna be a singer 🙄
Absolutely beautiful ❤I’m glad people still respect old school music ❤
That’s was beyond amazing. My Mother LOVED Sam Cooke! This song has always been so spiritual to me. Your rendition did the same for me as when Sam Cooke sang it, giving me goosebumps, peace and hope. Thank you for sharing your gift
I have NEVER heard anyone sound so much like Sam Cooke, and that's saying something. He's one of the smoothest and most soulful to ever do it.
I love how after everyone found out he could sang… they just sat back, chilled and rocked
🥰❤️🔥
Yea...it got quiet.
Yes they did indeed
Yes indeed!!
Why why why hasn't this country been listening to you on the radio and getting to watch you sing on TV? Is the U.S. music industry deaf????????????????? Your vocals are INCREDIBLE and YOU need to bring that kind of music back in our lives!!!!
That was a soulful rendition- ya gotta feel it to sing like that. Another version is from Rod Stewart- very heartfelt.
When the whole barbershop got quiet, you know he's good.
I love how the older guy told the young man to go as high as he can go. That was so encouraging. He did a really good job on this song. Loved this! ♥️
It’s so refreshing to see and hear a young person actually singing soulful music. Simply beautiful. Thank you, thank you!
❤
And doing it very well too!
here in england ive always loved sam cooke ,im over 70 ,ive heard many artists covering sam ,,but that was incredible ,,,,go on the road with that skill ,,u need to share that ,,,,
Someone that can actually sing is so wonderful to hear.
It really was soulful, wasn't it. The young man has a super nice voice
Wow! Shawn you brought me to tears. Wonderful voice! Thank you ❤😊
That was bloody marvelous fella 😊
How quiet everyone went just to hear you sing was beautiful.
He sang from his soul! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Honestly this is one of the most difficult songs ever to cover because it's impossible to even come close to the brilliance of Sam Cooke...this fella came pretty close.
Exactly
This actually brought tears to my eyes! Someone needs to give this young man a recording contract ASAP!!! x
😊 There is something about the blues that reaches in and rocks my soul. Wow what an absolutely soul rocking dude. Big love ❤
The world need to go back to this kind of music......
It never left
Amen to that
Under-rated comment. Completely agree
Yes!!!! Old school music both R/B & gospel can still move the soul and the entire family can enjoy it together.
Awesome and his spirit flows through his singing. Your gift will make room for you…Proverbs 18:16.
He has a beautiful voice. God has truly Blessed this young man.
There are haters everywhere!
I do Not know who this young man is, BUT HE IS FANTASTIC!!- i grew up with Sam Cooke-sang all his songs-even the ones people said i was not supposed to-Sam Cooke to me will Always be a Legend and a true fighter for equality!-His loss is sad, BUT you make his Spirit Live again! Your pitch and clarity were Great!! don't give up!! -Show the world you are here and alive man!!-hope to hear more from you! God Bless you and keep you Safe man!
I’m a 69 year old lady from England and this brought tears to my eyes …. Absolutely wonderful ❤️❤️❤️
Would my saying "Brilliant" be the correct English turn of that compliment!?
Absolutely beautiful voice, well done young man. I wish the young lads of today stopped rapping and started singing because these tones are real heart stoppers.
So true, rapping is yapping, just sing the old stuff that really means something. 😊
Amen
He brought back memories. His vocals on point and everyone in the barbershop enjoyed it. Love the man in blue.
Shawn Louisiana - what a phenomenally beautiful honoring of one of the all time greatest songs of the 20th Century, and of popular music across all time. I loved watching and hearing you deliver this … in a barber shop, no less. Fabulous video! I’ll be checking out your channel, yes indeed.
Love it…I grew up listening to Sam Cooke…my older brother teaching me how to slow dance….wow…this guy can sing it…2:15 in the morning waking up and this is in my feed…I had to listen-glad I did…another Louisianan n here-LC…high five from a 72 year old mama✋🏻keep on singing…you caught NY ear for sure--stay safe♥️🇺🇸🤷🏼♀️brought back great memories….thank you!
Sing it baby, Sam Cooke would be proud. He was always soulful and his voice could bring tears to your eyes and heart.
Not enough "o's" in smooth for THAT voice! Mr. Cooke would be proud! Bravo, young man! Your voice is beyond amazing!! Touched my heart & soul!!
Thank you sir, you sent chills up and down my arms. If I hadn’t seen you singing I would have thought it was a recording of the man himself. Thank you , thank you, thank you…👍👍👍👍🇨🇦
I felt every note you sang...just absolutely magnificent.
I wish you much success
That there is an old soul reincarnated to today. It gave me goosebumps listening to him sing his heart out. Nothing but love and respect from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 🙏
Real singing of real music for real people. An absolute treasure in this day and age. Thank you! 🙏🏾
Hi Shawn, I literally just found this video, and I am so glad!!! You are so incredibly talented!!!!! God has truly blessed you with a beautiful voice. He will see you through each & every trial!!! I can't wait to hear more music from you!!!!❤❤❤😊
That was fantastic. It was just his beautiful voice without all the accompaniments, 🎤, and whatever else to boost the rendition. He didnt need them. Awesome.
He truly did justice to Sam Cooke's classic. Was really touched by his rendition. Respect from Finland 🇫🇮👌🏾
Hi Finland……..GOD bless🙏🏼
I am Finnish American
Tears in my eyes! You don't have to be black or white to love this song. It's just beautiful!
I used to hear it on the radio when it first came out; my mouth is hanging open right now 😮
You don't have to be black or white to love this song but it's powerfull for a black man ... it's just a song for a white man
Nah you gotta be a black to like it. I’m white and hate it. HATE IT.
Oh god why does that subject always get forced into absolutely everything?
This young man just casually opened his mouth and out rolled a ridiculously fine Sam Cooke song... and people insist on bringing up skin color 🤮
Probably because the song was written in support of civil rights. That's the whole point of the song.
I’m in the social service field and there’s days I feel soooo broken that it’s hard for me to pick myself up and this song always lifts my spirit BUT this right here brotha be blessed! ✊🏾 thank you for sharing your journey with us!!!
Gave me chills! Absolutely beautiful voice. ❤️
I❤️LOVE! My black Brothas!!! We are so NATURALLY talented. and gifted in so MANY ways. I hope your still singing with a voice like that! I’m 67 years old this year, and I grew up listening to Sam Cooke, via my momma and elder siblings. I’m sure he’d be proud…and would have to give you props!!! You even put your own spin on his GREAT! Civil Rights Anthem. Absolutely Beautiful!🙏🏽😊❤️
Unfortunately the majority of them chose to rob, loot and commit crimes. Yep so much natural talent.
Yes I'm sure Sam Cook would be proud of this man. Great to hear the past coming back. And you bet you black have plenty of Great things about you, voices dancing personality and so on. I'm beige but love black singers all my 63 years.❤😊
A timeless masterpiece never dies, it lives on eternally.
depends who is singing it, and this young man, nailed it !!!!!
You were wonderful I've seen this 6 times already..i love yo voice boo!!
And the message hits so deep politically as well as religion NOW!
W 2 well said.!!
What is this young man's Name please??? ❤️💯
This guy is amazing his voice is like a reincarnation of Sam Cooke, guy got a great voice!❤❤❤
This never gets old. One of the best songs ever that remains as current today as it ever was.
Now, imagine this young man in the studio on a high quality mic. I wish him well and only the best in all of his endeavors.
And that's real💯 I can hear it.
Wow. And he dropped the vocals without having to get a glass of water or clear his throat. Awesome job. Why isn't he signed?? RAW TALENT IN THE MAKING 🙏
@Anita Thomas
And without getting up out of his seat, which I expected him to do. Though one can tell that that seat got pretty hot. Haha. 😄
Eww he don't need to get signed he can do his own thing.
Let the neighborhood keep him. A contract will lose that soul !!
The industry would sign him and destroy him.. they'll have him in a dress by the end of 2023

Ol white lady here...and I though the youth was lost to rap! That was AMAZING! I love Sam Cooke...and that song is it! You were wonderful...and you put em in the bag! Keep singing.
Sam Cooke is somewhere smiling and proud. Excellent rendition young man. You’ve got talent and I agree with the gentleman, “Go with it”.
I just hollered like I was at Sam’s Live Concert. He was hitting them notes 🎶like Sam does and I got excited. I’m loving the soft pitch in his voice. You did Sam well😻

Miserable and jealous people
Right...
Haters. Professional Trolls
We need to bring back this music that had love instead of hate
Wonderful voice. It's awesome that the younger generations appreciate the classics. 😊😊❤❤
Dang dude brought a tear to my eye.. He need to record this version seriously in the studio. Because those Long long long runs just hit different in his version. You dont hear to many "Change Gonna Come" versions thats unquie. Young Man you made us Old Heads proud..
So true. I seek the different versions out. And I love this song sooo much that I have never heard a version of this song that I hands down did not like. 👍🏽
That's why I thought he was lip synching. Sounds just like what came out of my mom's 20 foot record player.
Mademy 💓 jump and my eyes tear up too!!💞
You brought me to tears. I’m a 72 year old chick from the south and I remember distinctly listening to Sam Cook, and being absolutely enthralled with his incredible voice. You’ve got a great tone.
