WILLIAM HARNESS is a singer with unusual talent. He has a four octave range which allows him to sing from low bass to high tenor. Bill has a love for many different styles of music including county western, southern and contemporary gospel, classical religious, and even an album of love songs. He spent many years in opera, singing with the San Francisco Opera and at other great opera houses. But Bill always felt his calling was to be a gospel singer. For more than 30 years he traveled the world to reach people for his Savior. The William Harness channel shares performances from his career.

Wonderful. Merry Christmas. Can you please post more Christmas songs?
Thank you. We are trying to put up at least two new Christmas songs every year.
@@WilliamHarness-10 Thank you
beautiful
Thank you!
I have a great respect and admiration for opera singers. Pavarotti was a great singer, but a bad actor. In his latest years, sometimes he was forgetting what he had to do on the stage... You voice is not comparable with his, not because of the quality, but due to a bad word spelling - I am italian, and I can clearly hear the bad accent. Not your fault - it's quite difficult to spell correctly a completely different language, and after 25 years of stop! Thanks for your effort - Keep going!
Mario Lanza owned this song.
You were great! And your Tamino too!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed them.
PAVAROTTI vc é vivo no meu coração.
Got into a Nessun Dorma kick tonight and was glad to run across this one. Enjoyed it and thanks for posting. I'll have to listen to more of your recordings. Best Regards!
Praying for you, brother!
Thank you!
Eine achöne Stimme😊Pavarotti als Vergleich bleibt unübertroffen😊
Exactly what I needed to hear this morning
It is a wonderful song. Thanks.
Beautiful song
It was special to do with my daughter and granddaughter.
No. Sorry not even close
Even transposed like it is here with the high note is Bb - not even close. Smh
Yes, Pavarotti not ever close to Corelli, Bonisolli😄
Makes one kind of wish to have ever been good enough to be called Pavarotti thin by the critics and his back up at the Met.
Very passionate singing from you. Especially after 20 years off. I didnt sing that well at 30( or ever really)
bello
Thank you for your comments. The criticism of iron not Gold, and not Pavarotti, I agree with completely. When I recorded the Nessun dorma I wanted to put an opera aria on what at the time I thought was going to be my last album (THE MANY VOICES OF WILLIAM HARNESS). I was 65 years old, and I chose Nessun dorma because it was the easiest aria for me to sing when I was singing opera. It was right in the middle of my range, but at 65 years of age it was almost an impossibility for me, not having sung opera for way over 20 years. I hear many things that I would like to have changed, but at 65 I was just blessed to be able to get through the aria and get it on the album. I didn't want to be compared with Pavarotti, but when I was younger the newspapers many times compared me that way. As I mentioned in my introduction, we thought it was fun.
Pavarotti seemed to like singing back-to-back and in unison with other tenors. ruclips.net/video/LYAsFelf7no/видео.htmlsi=fklzN4KlvqMzC9ld Kind of neat to hear Pavarotti singing with someone with a beautiful voice who was tasked to take over for him. Would like to hear William Harness go back to back with Mario Lanza too. ruclips.net/video/g-l9kSDYy9g/видео.htmlsi=oAOxfo2kVOyqnW5N
👍🏽
Sorry - if listen to it, you will hear it - there is a huge difference - you are very goot - but not Pavarotti
yes goot
I listened to this again! such a great collaboration of 2 tenors!
Pavarotti : Harness. = Oro : Ferro Espressione matematica per esprimere il confronto !
Stop the video at the 15 second mark and you can read what long time New York Times music critic Raymond Ericson thought of the young singer-he was a “pleasant surprise” in a field that lacked good tenors.. Harness clearly was not the “brilliant” singer Pavarotti was, but had an “attractive” voice, could easily hit high C’s and a genial onstage temperament like Pavarotti. Ericson used the Pavarotti-thin image to say the young Harness was clearly in Pavarotti’s league in potential, but potential is not yet accomplishment. Who knows what would have happened if Harness had stayed in the opera. One thing is clear, to stay at the top of any artistic profession for as long as Pavarotti did took not only rare talent, but rare perseverance and dedication. Harness ended up using his talent, perseverance and dedication in another musical field. Still, I think Ericson might have enjoyed this.
@@ChuckW-w3m Sono d'accordo !! Nulla da eccepire sulla Bella Voce di Harness !! 👍
Amazing. Great stuff. Pavarotti Thin! Very cool. Great PR person you have in Terri putting these pieces together. You still had it at 65. Can only imagine how amazing it was a few years earlier. Keep the hits coming. Love it.
Wow, that's so amazing.
Thank you for the encouragement!
@@jimwest5455 Glad you liked it.
Thanks for sharing this. So very interesting..
Your voice is amazing, even at this age, it is so strong. God gave you a wonderful gift and ministry. Your songs make me cry. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your encouraging words.
I loved hearing that,😊
Thank you!
This brings me to tears for my small faith.
So glad it meant something special to you.
Heart rending to think of and beautifully performed. Makes me love Jesus more.
So glad to hear this was meaningful to you. Thanks for your encouragement.
Praise God. I enjoy your testimony.
Thank you for your continuing encouragement.
Beautiful touching song
So glad you are liking the songs.
Beautiful song . I remember you from Calvary Church in New Jersey.
Thank you! Nice to make contact again.
You did a brilliant job in La Fille du Regiment!
Thank you! Singing with Beverly was a delight.
Hi William! I am the daughter of the man who found you on the motorcycle last summer in August. I am so happy to see you doing well and making videos with your passion for gospel music. You have an amazing voice and I wish you the best! 🙏🏻
How excited I am to hear from you. After getting out of the hospital, (two months intensive care) I tried many many times to find your family. It's a long story but a state patrol officer thought he had your names somewhere and texted me the number it didn't work. I have felt so bad since then that I couldn't thank you for saving my life. Please send me an email on how to get in touch with your family. Just reading your comment has blessed me. William Harness whsc@pobox.com
❤️❤️✝️🙏
Thank you for your encouragement and prayers.
Such an upbeat song! Beautiful:).
So glad you enjoyed it.
Such a beautiful song!
Yes. About our wonderful Savior.
This is a great piece. We so enjoyed your testimony yesterday at SFC.
Thanks so much! I enjoyed the time together too.
Amazing. Love it. William it was great to meet you amd hear you speak at Samllmon Falls Chapel today. Thank you for sharing your story of your accident, healing and recovery with us today. Very inspiring.
My pleasure. Always a blessing to share about the love and grace of the Lord .
Glad to find this. Wonderful tenor with a spectacular bel canto technique and of course Sills, remarkable, musically impeccable, contagious singing and you could understand EVERY SINGLE word.
You made my day! Thanks!
Oh mahn. this is beautiful....and that voice befits the song
Thank you for your encouragement!
Hi, Mr. Harness, I hope you don’t mind me asking you a question about a motorcycle-related question here. I ride a motorcycle, and I have been inquiring about a landing gear for motorcycles called Dorjet landing gear made in Istanbul, Turkey. The contract person mentioned “William Harness," a signer with four octave voices. So if this is the William Harness he mentioned and if you have the landing gear, do you mind sharing your experience with it? Any hassle with the actual purchase of the product, etc. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your experience or opinion. Thanks so much, and God bless you.
Please send me your telephone number to whsc@pobox.com, and I will call you.
Amen,brother .without Jesus we are nothing.God coming soon.we need to be ready for him.brother when we died we not going to heaven directly we remain in the tomb until the second coming of Jesus ,he coming to judge the world and them we will get our rewards if we did good then we will go to heaven but if we did wrong to hell but until them bad or good are in the graveyard.i love that song brother.Amen.
Thanks for your encouragement. Only God can save--only Jesus' sacrifice and our faith in Him saves us.
Well, I guess I jumped a little fast & didn't search soon enough, when I liked your Beverly Sills RUclips just now, & said we would eagerly await more on your channel! Good to hear. By the way, is it still possible to buy a copy of your "Many Voices & Styles of Bill Harness", either as CD or download?
Thank you! Please write me at whsc@pobox.com with your address and we can work out sending you a CD. Blessings.
So glad I discovered your RUclips channel, great stuff in multiple ways on multiple fronts. Your story had previously manifested itself while I was researching in the James Schwabacher archives. Re another Opera singer, someone wonderful but alas quite forgotten. Hope for more of yours to come & we are all looking forward to it!
Thank you for your kind words. I stayed at Schwabacher’s house for the second year that I attended the Merola program where they wanted me to train in preparation for the fall season. All best.
@@WilliamHarness-10 Hmmm... The singer I am researching is lyric soprano Dorothy Warenskjold. Did you cross paths with her perchance? She retired in 1972. However, she was a good friend of Schwabacher & reportedly sometimes stayed at his place when in town. Also, she was active in adjudicating regional/national auditions & contests in the 1970s. A distant childhood Easter memory of her (Mozart Alleluia), which I finally had time to pursue after 45 years, has turned into a major research effort for her rediscovery.
@@DougWidney Dorothy Warenskjold was a great soprano. I had purchased a CD of DW several years ago, and it's packed with beautiful singing.
@@operadog2000 A million apologies for taking so long to get back to you, been busy. It's good to hear appreciation of Warenskjold. There are half-a-dozen archival restoration disks of her singing out there by now, with at least one or two more pending. The discography is in the Wikipedia article, in which I have also tried to tell her story.
Beautiful❤ 10:10 p.m.
So glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for that. I and my wife remember you from your visit to a Church in Tehachapi, Ca way back in the1990s. Life and the Lord moved us around a few times and we are now in Az where we help plant a SBC church in Palominas (Place of the Dove). Hard work but rewarding in Spirit. Searched for you and found you many years later and ordered several of your CDs. Still listen to them. Thanks again and may the Lord continue to bless you and yours. David.
So glad to have a connection with you again and that the Lord is giving you fruit for your labor. Thank you for your encouragement. Blessings.
Great Bill!
Thank you.
SO beautiful - brought tears to my eyes
So glad the Lord used this to encourage you.
Beautiful Bill - what a great memory preserved! You two were awesome!
Thank you for your kind words.
