No autotune, no millions of dollars to make a hit song, shit not even a microphone, Yet full!!! of soul.
So refreshing.
So true
Subway tunnel is all the mic you need.
Amen
Awesome 😍😍😍😍😍
No microphone, yet his voice filled the whole subway station.
Speaker*
Well even without a speaker playing down in the subway tunnel is like an echo chamber it has those tiles like a high school bathroom where kids been singing for many decades
It's called "reverb". Weird Al Yankovic recorded his first single in a bathroom.
Wow!! That was great
Dayumn.. and just think of all the computer sounds people listen to thinking their idola can actually sing
This makes you really WONDER how many other talented voices there are out there that go unnoticed …pure talent mike!!!!
More than you can ever imagine, apparently the music industry today, doesn’t care about talent, if you have a big audience from being active online it’s enough. Yet few months back they complained about not having anyone but Olivia Rodrigo and ice spice
But the industries think they know best and forget about what people want to hear 😭
@@JDirty-w-tha-30
Great comments
Keep going champion 🏆
GREED
Matter of fact they don’t want talent. Harder to control the talented
Even the train couldn't drown out his amazing voice!
I really hope you're living like a king now Mike!
Exactly!!!
👏👏👏
Funny how people walk right by....a voice like that would stop me dead in my tracks!!!!soooooo much soul!!!
100% 👌🏽👌🏽👍🏽
Same thing I’m saying! Gives me chills no matter how many times I watch it! To see that and witness it in person would definitely make me stop ❤️ Raw talent
People are going about their business.
Oh really I didn't realize that🤣some people are dumb as fuck I swear..I'm just saying hearing that talent would make me stop...so why don't you.."go about Your buisness"
Wipe your v@gina bro. Don’t be mad. 🙏
What a world we live in, where the soul and heart are shunned to the subways while the corporations fill our radios with artificial celebrities. I come back to this video every now and then to help restore my faith.
@@jerenmckey1800 no it is the truth
So true
Go find dondada he is a REAL rapper freestyle magnificent.
Perfect truth!
Have you been to a Posty concert?
It’s 2023 and his voice still bring tears to my eyes🥰😍
Me too
Same
@@sphelelemthembu2074😅
me too
@@sphelelemthembu2074
I heard the song and started crying, tears of joy. The true definition of music to my ears. Wow!
The fact that even when the train came by, his voice still overtook the atmosphere. What a voice.
37 Years. He's been doing this for 37 years. never once been auto tuned, never once been remade up in a studio. Pure. Honest. Wonderful.
@Michael Urgero dang, 37 years.. and no one has ever ask them for studio recording or to perform in other places?
@@Dimaz42 when he was younger, he had a recording contract, but it fell thru before his album made it. He's made efforts on talent shows, but because he's spent a lifetime singing in subways, his vocal skills are now tuned to that environment and he doesn't sound as good in open air.
Sad but true.
@Michael Urgero I see.. I also look him up and it seems he’s been to AGT in 2017 and made it to semi-finals.. he also has been on tours and tries to release his album through Kickstarter.. I hope good things come his way, so he could make a living doing the things that he loves..

que tiene que ver el autotune? la musica comercial pop no solo el trap tienen mas de 50 años usando el autotune en grabacion de discos etc. El hecho de que un cantante no lo use es porque no quiere, son herramientas al alcance de todos, otra cosa es usar autotune para modificar la voz y no tener madera de cantante. just sayin'
@@ax569Jesus, what a dumb comment. 🤦🏼♀️ Autotune was invented in 1997, so it has been used for only 25 years, not “more than 50 years”. 🙄
This man is the ultimate expression of every word in this song. This is what singing from the heart means. Thanks for charing this moment.
Well said, totally agree
Good to see some people actually chair.
Kenny Karlsson Made ME cry!!
Ahahahah ma che cazzo dici... He i An hopeless homeseeker nothing else
HILLARY CLINTON CALLS BLACK people SUPER PREDATORS
VOTE TRUMP 2020
The wrong people get made famous this man's voice is angelic simply top notch
I think he made it I saw him on americas got talent. Even Simon was blown away
Facts
@@gscott6907OH THIS IS HIM
it's sad
Leave James Charles alone
A brilliant Righteous Brothers memory from my younger years. Amazing rendition of a difficult classic. Played this on the coffee shop juke box every morning over a bacon sandwich and coffee with my girlfriend before going to work....We're now close to 52 years married so the song must have "done something"..............
Y'all notice that even a moving train couldnt drown him out? No microphone, no auto tune, nothing. That's what you call a gift.
I was so much in a trance I didn’t even realize that
don't call it a gift, or talent. it's 100% hard work. nobody is just born being able to do what he's doing there.
@@greendoubttube I agree, but there must have been some kind of talent that hard work made better.
Nope , talent + hardwork + hobby = this
You might be talent in singing , you might be hardworking on getting your top shape , but you wont be the perfect you if you dont love what the thing you are doing now
Don't forget good acoustics. But Definitely a powerful voice.
I work 2 blocks away from this train station & use to see this brother omw home. He's truly have talent & sounds even better in person
Brooklyn is watching and listening
Had to watch twice! What a wonderful blessing he is, to end a hard day at work! I would be broke $ passing by him everyday! God bless him, and you!💖
Can you please tell him to sing a gospel song! He is blessed with a beautiful voice. #AllisPossible
I thought he had no arms at first. He sounds good.
He's incredible ! I wish some record exec would find him.
God Bless Him & Keep him Safe.
I noticed you, lady in the background. My immediate thought was that I’m always proud that people are grateful for artists and give graciously to them.
You can tell she was vibing while in the middle of a busy day. Likely stressed out but still giving. Both attention and money. This video has remained in the archives the year it was on youtube. Much love humans.
Peopllleee... now this is TALENT with not even a microphone!
MrMister The acoustic under ground and in the shower can make most of us sound better
@@allispossible8447 very true lol
@Exlaxchronicles but retards saying Gucci Gang 100 times are highly marketable. Screw the world today.
@Exlaxchronicles he already has Martin Garrix has a few songs with him now. He's totally marketable. A great coming up inspiration.
Exlaxchronicles he was on AGT and has a few songs with Martin Garrix lol
I just realized that there is no microphone and he carries his voice so good even with a train there.
I do not need...
-He does not need
-A microphone..
-A microphone
-My voice is fucking
-Fucking ...
-POWERFUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUL
He's awesome
No he simply sings daily for food. Bless the people with a good voice for a quarter in your pocket. Its spare change to city ppl. Bless the community and if you have a spare second of your time listen to the dude sing. Dont even gotta throw a quarter to get a good show. My point is. Bless the community. Dude is doing it for a reason and hes good at it.
id say its confidence
When you have a nice bassy voice like his and in a tunnel that has great acoustics and reverb you dont NEED a mic lol
Grew up in NY and road the subway every day for over 40 years and never seen this man singing anywhere 😮 he’s very good 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾❤️❤️❤️ so sorry that I missed him.
I've never seen such a emotional perform like this. So moving. So real. In love. 🥰❤
The drummer and guitarist are so gifted.....
True...
Stop bitin ass
RPT. SR. Huh
Totally! impressive the groove the guy can do with just a snare and hi-hat.
they all look related
I've seen this gentlemen singing on the subway dozens of times. The video does him no justice. He is powerfully gifted.
If you see them please say Hi From London! I have just have such amazing time to listening to them, it was one of the best thing I have heard in my life!
@@Onevideoperday I’m from Canada and I completely feel the same as you. His voice reached my soul, that seldom happens….it was beautiful. ♥️
Where is this dude ? Chicago?
@@marieclaire4935 NYC subway
same from me in KC. wave to him for me, it's really great imo!
This rendition literally brought me to tears.. so beautiful. Thank you for your sharing your talent. ❤️
My god if I was there my face would be flooded with tears. Mike Yung your voice is Beautiful u lift my spirit
Two things:
1. This guy is amazing
2. I’ve never seen a shirt that has its own necklace.
Best comment periodt
Omg, you funny E. Smith...#2🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too funny
Its probably sewed in idrk
It’s because of mr. Big Punisher 😃👍🏽
I just can't understand HOW people walk right by this wonderfully talented man! I would be glued to the spot.
Same! I wont even mind waiting for the next train just to hear his powetful voice.
It made me cry!!!
I was thinking the same thing! 💙
Because they cant do it.
Because the world does not afford us the time to enjoy certain things. We're off to work for somebody elses fortune.
This man doesn’t want to be famous he just wants to sing, his gift makes him feel connected x
No entiendo como tanta gente pasa si parar para regalarse aunque sea 60 segundos de este arte!!! Tremenda voz👏👏👏
I would have happily missed every trian just to listen to him
Do the trians run often 👀
Absolutely and I don't live there!!!!❤❤❤❤
Me too, I would not miss that beautiful talented voice, I would stay and listen until he got tired, and the last train ran. I'll be ok.
Il train from NZ
Same id be there w you as well his singing is heaven sent 💖
I love that lady who stands there to watch and appreciates him. She made a donation too. This world is a better place because of people like her. God bless her.
And I appreciate you for noticing her.
looks like it brought back some memories for her. Just standing there mesmerizing
@@ALIRAZA-xq8dm 💐
God? 😅😅😅😅😅😅
How about the young fellow that joined in at 1:03 and didn't move until the performance was over? This song must have meant something special for him.
Just stunningly organic & amazing vocals.
Not even a train underground could drown out this man's god given voice.
Bravo !! 👏
I love this man.
I remember him being on TV & was so touched.
More talent than 90% of the radio. Also, Big Motherfuckin Pun t shirt. This guy is real.
Viva Saprissa. ❤️❤️
Hes good and has good taste
@@johnfredgranadosgomez1374 Saprissa forever!
90%? You mean 100%!
Straight chills....he even made the train sound instrumental
He has a great voice.. bless him ✝️🙏🏻😊 hope someone will give him a chance in the business. 🙏🏻👍🏼😊
I’ve watched this so many times and it never gets old. What a great voice 😊 love it!
You can still hear him when the train is speeding by! What a powerhouse!
The train should wait for this man to finish hes song haha he
his song*, just for your information im not trying to be an asshole I liked your joke lol
That's hilarious, and completely true lol.
Lp haha hehehhee haha hehehe
he literally singing 'wait for me' when the train came in
@@realexony ever heard of typos? even if not - we all knew what he meant
Every time you see a bad news story, remember the beautiful moments like this.
These are the performers that bring the most joy in our everyday lives!! Thank you!!
The EMOTION in his voice speaks a thousand words alone 😔 this man is a legend and must be in hall of fame.
True
Amazing voice 💕
To Razy Stuff 92: His clicks speak *twelve million* views alone for this video. He is a legend, probably making more views than the dignified surgeon or regular lawyer.
His voice is stronger than a running train.
Ano Niem Beautiful
I wonder if this man has ever song professional, does any body know?
@el taco 👍👍
@el taco Cause dey kangz and queenz and shit
@el taco i Guess your talent is just talking shit safe behind your keyboard and being a fullblown racist troll. What did this guy do to you for you to make such a hatefull comment? And you talk about being human Lmfao
The double nod is perfect timing
Will always be one of my favorite versions of this classic 🥰🥰🥰
What’s the name of it again?
Damn!!! Didn’t expect that, he should be on somebody’s stage somewhere. Gift from god!
He finally made it he went on America’s Got Talent & The Strahan & Sara Show. Also he has a song called Dreamer very beautiful & inspiring. All on yt.
AGT stage to the semi finals!!
Why isn't this guy a millionaire selling albums. He's got a wonderful voice. I'm a grown man he literally brought tears to my eyes!
When this was filmed, you could make a pretty good living busking in the subways. Dono bout now, I moved away.
Agree
This is how true music is made. No sound equipment, no auto tune. Just a powerful voice and a band to back it up. This will always be my favorite performer of this beautiful song.
Exactly! I am 26 years old and only listen to these type of old classics (classic rock, soul, 90s hiphop etc). The current generation doesnt know what real music is. They all follow the mainstream trend
@@flyingdutchdan sp you feel giod now?i listen to klassik to rapto all whats good
@@flyingdutchdan It's hard to find good music. There is still incredible music there in the world. Listen to some Western Classical Music. You will love it
@@yashbspianoandcompositions1042 yes classical music i also listen, but only when studying or really focusing moments. But like these genres (rock, hiphop, soul etc) will never be the same anymore. Never will reach this same level of those old days
@@flyingdutchdan made me think of you: ruclips.net/video/KQpKeW_-fd8/видео.html
This is amazing! Wonderful voice Mike. Watching this video years later and it still mesmerizes me.
Wishing you many blessings in life Mike.
Hugs from Canada. 😊
I can’t see how this much talent is not instantly signed!!!! If I was an agent I’d go to the subway for talent!!!!
Smh, why the HELL has this man not been offered a record deal?! I would PAY to see him in person, my God what a voice!
He took the semi-finals in America's Got Talent Season 12, then released his debut album, "I Will Never Give Up" and started his "Never Give Up" tour in 2018...
I’m right with you
@@RealSiViX Thanks for the info! I'll look it up!
The thing is there are millions of people who can sing like this who never get noticed
@@RealSiViX Thanks for his music career update. I try to find it. And I watched on RUclips his remarkable performance.
I used to love listening to this man sing. I lived on 23rd St and he was there a lot and the 42nd st station. I've missed my train a few times because I had to hear the rest of the song, and ALWAYS gave him money when I saw him. One of my favorite vocalists to this day.
Is he still around?
Yankee dude dandy is he still there
@@chrissmealband8417 I moved back to TN a few years ago. I’m not really sure. I think he was on America’s got talent though
@@tylerthagr8 I’m not sure I haven’t lived there in 4 years. I think he’s probably still there. 23rd, 42nd, and 72nd st stations seemed to be his spots. Don’t forget to smell on a yankee candle this summer. Good fruit smells and fireworks scented as well.
@@tylerthagr8 he ended up going on America's got talent or Britians got talent. Can't remember which. Performed this same song.
I typically watch this at least three times in a row when I come back to it.
Wow! All I can keep saying is Wow with tear filled eyes. Mike, you are so amazing. I have loved this song since I was a teenager in the 1960’s. You took it to a whole new level. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️God bless you. And your musicians are excellent too. ❤
And a voice as big as the sea..
This world is so ass backwards when there are so many idiots with no talent making millions and then you got this guy...what a full, gorgeous, resonant voice.
Just the pure truth you just wrote. True talent this is.
Facts Facts
Yes the sea
God isn't in anything anymore people have shunned him to through the back door that's how people act anymore
Agree
Really makes you realize the sheer amount of talent out there that the world doesn't even know about
Yep .. there's probably 10 people that would sell more albums than Elvis or Michael had they been given the same chance
But unfortunetely teens likes trap and shit
@@Jiiiisossj78998 Nah man cause of stranger things kids like 80s music now
God bless the good
Omg!!!!!! This mans voice im in tears its so so good!!!!
his voice makes me think on my dad , he loves this song i cant avoid crying and smiling
The three of them have what we use to recognize as TALENT.
Now people love to listen to high on weed alcoholic that mumbles their words because it's "swag, or lit'' or whatever. Sad, just sad.
@@Jay_pantig Yes, extremely sad.
talent != years of practice
@@Jay_pantig
I would be willing to bet my last dollar that this man hits the bottle and most likely hits the blunt….todays terrible music has nothing to do with weed or alcohol. It’s just trash music.
@@BillyT886 I would too, but you've got to read my comment again. And this time, try to understand my comment. Definitely has something to do with weed, or even drugs, and alcohol. When they became so proud that they're doing drugs and drinking till they're wasted and that becomes almost always their theme for the music, the music becomes trash. Think about it, Ed sheeran had an interview about him getting drunk and everything, but that's not the theme of his music. So it's somewhat got to do with drugs and alcohol.
(2021) Still one of the best rendition of this song.
Couldn't agree more.. One of my fave song...💖
I agree.
No Doubt a Beautiful Cover of a Timeless Classic. When I was just starting school in the early 60's, my Dad used to play The Righteous Brothers frequently and this was his favorite.
Major Props to this Gifted "Artist" and I don't use the term loosely. He is Masterful without ANY Props whatsoever.
Oo sir hehe dabest to
Leann Rimes was my favorite until this. This is the most beautiful song ever composed in my opinion.
The amount of tears that jus ran it’s way through my face….bless him maan bless them all
I love watching these amazing street performers and think...how are u NOT stopping to listen?? They're amazing! ❤
The older lady at the background was thinking: Those were the days!!
Horny old lady?
@@woonchungliong4173 tf is wrong with you
@@azulmartinez6143:
Don't be an idiot!
@@woonchungliong4173 bruh 😂😂😂😂
That would me. Id stand and listen to him all day!!😊😊😊💙💙💙
He honestly deserves a grammy. I've came back over the years and rewatched this because it is so amazing
I think he went to America got talent. I hope he got a record deal ..
Same here!
He's not entitled to shit because he's good at karaoke
@@ryantoner8132 Miserable person. Hope someday you find meaning in your life.
Yes I agree!
dude im just 17 and these typa music make me feel incredibly emotional, im so thankful
This guy was on America's Got Talent. He's fabulous!
shoutout to the dude in the back who missed his train to see him finish the song
Word ❤️ LUV
Maybe. Or maybe it was the A to Howard Beach instead of to Mott Ave. ;)
@@ddruxman3579 Or he's waiting for an F train. :)
I kinda thought he was waiting because he wanted to kill the drummer after the song for some reason
Yup. He just stood there and enjoyed the show. Bravo!
The amateurs are greater than the “professionals” because they are not controlled by the perspectives of what some one who doesn’t have the gift views as good. This is true, raw talent 💕
I 100% agree with this statement.
Very well stated
So right my sista real
Inner Goddess amen sister !
Super star singers are just performers who move their mouth. Yes, your idols are not real, can't sing and most are androgynous
Just Love, Love his voice, and brings back memories with his 50s songs .❤❤❤
I’m a believer you have to feel the music you sing., and this guys feels it 100❤️❤️🎤
His voice is timeless and would be among the elite in any decade. It's just amazing who they give recording contracts to and who they don't.
Jeep Life71 more like you have sell your soul
Everyone wants to remain you g and dumb these days so that's who the hive the recording contracts too
They only give people they can control contracts. That's why the people who are famous don't have any talent and have to act a fool or get naked to get attention.
I think he wouldnt want to sell his talent to souless companies
I would be missing my trains to hear this guy
I have!! I used to see him and hear him sing every day after work!! ")
@@jojodoto.9840 Lucky Bastard 😇 Lol Much Luv all the way from Spain
i'd miss the birth of my first son to hear mike finish the song
That's what I would do. Sometimes it got hectic and it was impossible to stay and listen tho.
One of the greatest songs written man what an amazing voice
The best version of this song by far, a voice not many have and NONE in today's music charts ❤
And we got these fools on the radio right now.
Fr???
Right!?!?
I know right
How original of you.
I have to agree with you they are just fool
I see him all the time at the station by my job, he gives me chills every time! 😍
Awesome!! That must be great
Drop a dollar for me. Ill get you back lol
been 5 years and he's still at the station? man needs a record deal
@@eQcBeats He already made a song with Martin Garrix. You should listen to that one, its nice :). Maybe he's still at the station because he enjoys the people there
@@sebastiaan.youtube6152 Oh awesome
I’m teary eyed right now this is the most beautiful singing I’ve ever heard in my life
Dude is an AMAZING singer. Hits the soul right in the core.
No one this talented should be singing in a subway! 💕
I enjoyed the entire trio.
Why cant I ever see something like this when I'm out
We...or him.....nd may b cuz u dont come out
NYC
One of my favorite songs and he performed it beautifully.👋👋👋
Come to NYC. Every subway station and street corner has talented people just like this.
@hhhk20 carry on NPC. Carry on. Nobody is taking your bait you try hard.
His voice is simply beautiful, amazing. I love it.
7 years later and this video still blows me away and touches my soul! YOU BETTA SANG SIR!!❤❤
I can’t help but tear up listening to him sing!!!! Just absolutely mesmerizing
True
Ya, seconds in and my eyes are welling up.
Yep, same here! 😊
Yep. Twice in a row for me.
Straight up makes me cry too
Nice to see the people with taste stopped to take a minute of they're day and listen to this mans soul.
LOVEYOURCOUNTRY a
This what you call real sining
Thank you
I think this man is my all time favorite singer.💯🤷🏼♀️👌👌👌👌Been a fan for years and Nothing compares to this!🙌💃💗🌈
No matter how many times I watch this it never fails to make me teary eyed 😢😂
I could listen to this man all day.... what a gift
I AGREE
I also would let him BUST my CHEEEKS
Oh my god me too.
No words can do this man justice. This can save someone he’s so good. So so pure
OMG what a phenomenal voice. Simply beautiful & heartfelt. God Bless this man.❤❤❤
Subway and street performers are truly top notch . I enjoy watching them perform daym pure talent
THE YOUNG MAN STANDING TO THE SIDE APPEARS TO REALLY NEED TO HEAR THESE WORDS IN HIS LIFE RIGHT NOW. HOW OFTEN DO WE HEAR SOMEONE SAY "I NEED YOUR LOVE," YOUR MATE, YOUR CHILD, MOTHER, FATHER, BROTHER OR SISTER. OH HOW WE NEED TO HEAR AND SAY THOSE WORDS. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND STRONG GIFTED VOICE. THANK YOU!
What a seriously beautiful interpretation, you are so right.
❤️❤️❤️
Probably a singer thinking, 'no, fuck it, I'll be an accountant instead'
Wow! Not even the the train could drown out his voice, so soulful makes me smile😁
Wow, such a rich baritone. Amazing voice. I heard him over the train. To be blessed with such a voice. 🤩
Im a singer & love/live through music... he sounds so beautiful, he made my eyes water up... I hope & pray he(all three of them really!) is/are doing well, till this day & the days to come!!!
I dont know how anyone could just pass by and not stop to listen to this UNBELIEVABLE talent! I don't care if I was going to miss the next 3 trains I would stop 🤣
Exactly!! He is louder than the damn train and just amazing!!
Probably heard him many times
I said the same thing like how could you just walk by nonchalantly as if you don’t hear such incredible vocals and musicians?! People truly don’t appreciate fine music 😩😣
I know the feeling, but people do got places to be
People have jobs, lol
His raw expression and phrasing is giving me life!!!!!! His life experience comes all the way through! Thank you for sharing your heart!
i'll never get tired of this video. swear it makes me cry everytime
That was wonderful. Had to listen to it several times. Boy do I miss New York. Nothing like it. Keep up the good work brother you sound awesome 🙏🏾
How can some people walk by and not be phased by his amazing voice. I would be stopped dead in my tracks to listen.🤷🏼♀️.
Alisha Hamilton fazed
Cause this is New York
We New Yorkers are so dead on the inside sadly. I hate it but it’s the way we are unfortunately.
@@loverofjesus4856 or maybe people have to be somewhere I don't think they came to the train station to listen to him I think they are just trying to get somewhere
I would definitely be watching n listening 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍
I am the lady in the background.
really?the one with white shoulder bag?nice
Lol
famous😁
Simpatica
Im the guy holding a book
I'm from Slovakia and I would really like to go around this gentleman and hear him live. All due respect to his performance, I listen to this track over and over again. And I also like his character and modesty. Hat down
This man’s singing shakes your heart and your soul!!!!!!
