    Some incredible facts to consider:
    • He's singing this is in the o-r-i-g-i-n-a-l key.
    • He is 53 years old, and so are his vocal cords!
    • His intonation is perfect.
    • He handled the highest note with a masterfully fast switch from chest voice to falsetto and back. It was so smooth that it was almost undetectable!
    • His volume output and dynamics make me think he has a steel-belted diaphragm.
    Sometimes, life gets in the way of raw talent. But life *also* has a way of revealing those talents when we least expect it. Welcome to a world that now knows about your amazing voice, Mr. Goodall.

      Time from your sins to Jesus Christ and be a godly example or you will be condemned by the Lord.
      Each and every teacher School administrator that chooses to go against God's plan of purity protecting the innocence of the children.
      I will judge every teacher administrator and person within the educational system who teaches ideologies that are blatantly satanic vial corrupt and seek to manipulate kids to go against their god-given identities and to manipulate kids to mutilate themselves.
      Turn to Jesus Christ to be truly transformed from the path of evil to the path of righteousness.
      Jesus Christ help each and every young innocent child that is being led astray and perverted by wicked adults.
      The wicked liar to women I don't care that you can't pay your bills. Allow me to pimp your sexual desires and womb.
      God know these evil evil evil politicians not leaders corrupt politicians seek to exploit women's sexual desires sinful tendencies. By claiming that it's their choice they can sleep around and murder their babies that's right in God's eyes it's sexual immorality and murder when you do abortion
      Who but the devil would seek to encourage women that it's okay to sleep around and kill their babies.
      Pray to God you women wake up and see how evil these people are to seek to exploit your weaknesses to seek to exploit your sinful desires.
      Pray God opened your eyes that they don't care that they are justifying your path to hell encouraging it and rewarding it
      Faith in Jesus Christ is not the problem in America. Anti-jesus immoral corrupt godless Communists are problem in America.
      Y'all talk about justice but you ignore the Injustice that happens to babies in the womb you ignore the Injustice that's happening to children in schools as they are being corrupted perverted and manipulated to change their gender and mutilate their god-given body parts.
      You ignore the Injustice of criminality and violence and places where they said defund the police after they allowed wicked criminals to burn loot and murder for months.
      You ignore the Injustice happening at the border as the wicked political class in many in America are working with the cartel to use and abuse women and children for political gain and many even for perverted intentions.
      You ignore the Injustice of the wicked grifter's son not being charged for all the evil that he has done.
      If you desire Justice you better turn from your sins of Jesus Christ or you will not be justified and you will not be welcomed into heaven.

      It may be entirely by choice. It could very well be that, as you said, he is happy and contented. How very sweet that he chose the youngsters with whom he works daily to share this song and his singing ability at the end of their school year. He could have chosen an older, more vast audience for personal exposure. He didn't. He chose these little, noisy kids who all know him. It says something about him.........

The school is about two blocks from Richards house where Richard lives with his Fiancé Angie. Richard preformed on Americas Got Talent on May 28, 2024 towards evening. Richard got a Golden Buzzer and cried happy tears. Congrats Richard

If they don’t see it how can anyone else see it.

    Les Brown says it perfectly:
    “The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream”

    He's literally a professional rock singer with stage experience! The range, clarity, vocal control, mic control....
    I wonder about m his story with music and in life.
    A great reminder to "Never judge a book by its cover" ❤❤❤
