See what happens when this elementary school janitor belts out the Journey classic “Don’t Stop Believin’” at the school’s graduation. ABC News’ Will Ganss has more.
MAJOR goosebumps! What a fabulous, humble man. Steve Perry set an extremely high vocal standard in music. Journey songs are very difficult to sing correctly, and Richard absolutely nailed it.
Nah, you are defined by how you treat others when no-one else is looking. Especially when the camera's are not rolling. That being said I wish this singer the best.
I am an elementary school teacher and think this awesome. I also love how the kids are raising their hands during the performance. That is so ELEMENTARY school!
Most artist these days, are because of followers and looks. Singing talent is kinda third on the tier. Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars are kinda the exception. They are really talented.
@@monkeybusiness2204 there loss the man can sing almost anything and he is talented he can listen to a voice long enough and imitate it, I think he is amazing yes he's a janitor he was adopted as a baby and always wondered if maybe that's where he got such a passion for music.
My grandfather was an elementary school janitor. He couldn't sing but he had a special relationship with the kids and loved his job. This story made me think of him...I miss him dearly 💗
He is truly amazing!!!! I love that maybe people will finally see the amazing custodians not only keep our kids safe, but also have beautiful abilities and talents far beyond the limits of their uniform ❤️ I admire custodial staff beyond words 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻
This is how I think I sound belting out songs along with the radio in my car except I dont I suck but I still do it! I wont stop believin I sound like him even tho I dont. Rock on
LUCKY kids! Such a sweet, special guy. You know they love him and he loves them. He's now teaching them how to dream their dreams, whatever those dreams may be!!!
He reminds of Susan Boyle when she auditioned and was over 40. Like Susan Boyle, he has a powerful and beautiful voice that could sing many more songs. God bless him!
He went from singing in an Elementary school to singing in America's Got Talent and winning the golden buzzer!!!
😊😊😊 you go man ❤❤❤❤
Its always the janitor that has a secret talent!
Like good will hunting lol 😂
Janitor is secretly a professional hitman
Especially when the janitor is Billy Blanks
For reals! My elementary janitor was in the movie Braveheart lol
Yep we sure do!😉!!

Who's here after the AGT audition? 🎉🎉🎉
This was put out a year ago.This video, so why was AG?T making such a big deal of it when he just now performed
Me
I am here
ME
Those kids were too young to even know how good this guy is.
Exactly what I was thinking lol
Naw, a great song and great voice just keeps living and breathing! That generation is going to be loving Journey just like we did!
I love how Steve Perry and Journey gave him a thumbs up!! 🥰
I love when people realize other people are more than what they present
Like seeing your coworker in a random grocery store… a.ways so weird
His voice is so angelic!!! Yet he's so extremely humble!!!
yo ray mak havent seen your comments in a while
It's beautiful indeed
I rarely see ur comments anymore
MAJOR goosebumps! What a fabulous, humble man. Steve Perry set an extremely high vocal standard in music. Journey songs are very difficult to sing correctly, and Richard absolutely nailed it.
For sure goosebumps
Thank you I’m Richard and your comment makes me cry. 😭
No kidding.
..or chicken skin.
You gotta have the range for THAT song. Just to get through it beginning to end. This man has the range AND the Perry’s sound down pat.
Look how this special janitor inspired his students! Steve Perry's "Don't Stop Believing" gives us all a very powerful message. Awesome!
You are not defined by the thing you do for a paycheck. You are defined by your dreams and how you make them reality.
Nah, you are defined by how you treat others when no-one else is looking. Especially when the camera's are not rolling. That being said I wish this singer the best.
The fact that he had the courage to get up before a crowd. Then let loose ! Very nice
Hes the man that sings out of his heart and comes with the whole package. Hope all his dreams comes through for this great man.
I am an elementary school teacher and think this awesome. I also love how the kids are raising their hands during the performance. That is so ELEMENTARY school!
I love that Steve Perry loved Richard's singing too. Enjoy every bit of love you are getting Richard!
🤩 wow this guy is better than most artists now
Most artist these days, are because of followers and looks. Singing talent is kinda third on the tier.
Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars are kinda the exception. They are really talented.
@@AllenHanPR true, like streamers, RUclipsrs and artists, they just rely on looks
He just got a golden buzzer on agt for this song
I love people who has such a big heart like he does. They are the hidden gem of our society
Best janitor ever! 80s nostalgia is the best nostalgia! Ask Stranger Things!
Nope, Nope, Nope!! Sorry cbreeze but 60's nostalgia is the best nostalgia, hands down, no contest!!
@@dewz440 That's cool. We can peacefully disagree.
This guy crushed it.
His voice is breathtaking. What a talent!
He should go on America Got Talent and compete.
He is not "marketable" enough.
He's awesome what a voice.
He just did an audition for The Voice. Got shot down.
@@sdfjsdlkfFJKLASD It was a virtual audition and it's wasn't recently.

It’s always the janitor who is the gem 🥰
This is a great story. Seems like a nice guy. Hope things go well for him. Would like to see him more.

Janitors are some of the sweetest people I’ve run into on school properties
Hes a hero to those kids.
Nice to hear a positive story .
Janitors always has something special
So wholesome. Glad he got on stage, he sounds good!
He is truly amazing!!!! I love that maybe people will finally see the amazing custodians not only keep our kids safe, but also have beautiful abilities and talents far beyond the limits of their uniform ❤️ I admire custodial staff beyond words 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻
That’s an older dude belting out those notes… kinda amazing.
Golden Buzzer! Well deserved
Wow he sounds just like him, awesome
This is how I think I sound belting out songs along with the radio in my car except I dont I suck but I still do it! I wont stop believin I sound like him even tho I dont. Rock on

LUCKY kids! Such a sweet, special guy. You know they love him and he loves them. He's now teaching them how to dream their dreams, whatever those dreams may be!!!
Amazing voice. If I was there, I would have felt like I was at their concert.
he is very special….. good heart ❤
such a humble man
God Bless this man.
Wow! There's talent in the most unexpected places! ❤️🌹😃❤️ Bless him!
He did great
My mom and dad were school custodian years ago and recieved much love and respect from the student too. But they didn't sing like that. Wow.
Goosebumps 🤗🫡🫶
Lovely voice and seems like he’s a lovely person as well
This song got him the golden buzzer in America's got Talent last night.
sounds like original man.. he got a voice like journey band🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Wow amazing voice
God Bless him. 👍😊
Now he got the golden buzzer!!!! Way to go!
Now rocking the AGT stage...good on you Rockstar!!
His America’s got Talent audition was amazing. Fantastic performance.
Those kid's are too young, to appreciate how decent he is.
They were waving their hands like I would, though!
Wow 😳 someone sign this man up !! He can sing
Richard “Goodall” a truly GOOD person ❤
Beautiful voice! He should try out for AGT. Bet he'd make it. Or the Voice. Would love to see more of him! 🤩👏🏼👏🏼
He got a Golden Buzzer last night on AGT!
Wow he is amazing!!
Richard, you made my month! ..You shine!!! Wow oh wow!!! I'd happily pay to see/hear you any time. ...Go for it. You have a gift... ❤️
Simply amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to be front and center at your show. Journey is my all time fav!
I hate television but Richard's story is super inspiring and one of the most wholesome viral sensations I can remember
He sounds more like Steve Perry than Arnel... id pay to see him!! 😳♥️
I think Arnel doesn't have Perry's breath control to sound like Steve does. The band should of noticed that and kept looking.
Now look he’s just got the golden buzzer
Respect to you bro✊🏾❤️
Amazing voice... That's not an easy song to sing..
Anything that requires a tenor voice is not easy and he did it remarkably well.
Hes having his 15 minutes of fame! Congratulations
Now he's going to be on America's Got Talent!
Now he's gotten the golden buzzer!@@KayBolinger-ec2vw
He is awesome I keep seeing it on Facebook and everywhere can't wait to see how far it gets in the competition I hope he wins
This guy is so cool.What a voice!
He should do America’s Got Talent!
That was CLEAN!!!
Pun intended haha
He is an awesome janitor❤❤❤.He'll go places
He reminds of Susan Boyle when she auditioned and was over 40. Like Susan Boyle, he has a powerful and beautiful voice that could sing many more songs. God bless him!
Golden Buzzer man ! Well deserved 😃
Wow...dude can sing
He has an amazing voice and seems to be such a down to earth and all around great guy. ❤
Blown away here in Adelaide, Australia. Richard is phenomenal, i am now a fan i love him, wow, wow, wow.
Who's here after Agt?
I just watched him get the golden buzzer on AGT!!
Beautiful
Don’t stop believing is the ONE song that everyone in a place will know the words to
I hope he knows another song for AGT.
