- In this video we explore details of a great Jon Bon Jovi song: LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME - through the magic of vocal stems we get a different perspective on how these Bon Jovi hits were put together!
Bon Jovi - Lay Your Hands On Me - ISOLATED VOCALS - Analysis and Singing Lesson
Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora wrote “Lay Your Hands On Me” with such a distinct gospel vibe that it even inspired Dolly Parton to cover it as a gospel tune in 2014.
Can you think of any other rock songs that were ever covered as gospel tunes? Let me know in the comments!
As we look at Jon’s isolated vocals from the track, one of the things we’ll look at is how it was written in a distinctly lower register than the early stuff and why.
We’ll also take a deeper look at the awesome production of the tune and how well thought out the songwriting and note choices were.

One of the greatest bands to do it. They were amazing live and as you say, worked so hard. Sambora has an amazing voice as well. Very underrated singer
Thanks for listening, Matthew!
I think all the classic era of Bon Jovi is amazing they were one of the bands that survive the grunge scene with records like Keep The Faith and These Days the songwriting stuff and the production give us one of the best albums of the history.
Well said, Sebastian!
Yes, it think These Days and Keep the faith have some of best stuff Bon Jovi ever done on them. Ofcourse I love Farenheit, Slippery when wet and New Jersey too but everyone knows those are awesome.
Ken: Please do "Bed of Roses" by Bon Jovi. I love Jon's voice on that song.
Beautiful song!
Seconded 🤟🏻💕
Aka play where at any time to anyone
The key to building a fan base
How about (Always,)?
I think that song showcases just how versatile Jon's voice is. Lots of emotion, love it.🥰
I agree, Joanne!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️one of my all time favorite Bon Jovi songs.
Ken, you have to check out BJ’s These Days album from 1995. It’s their best album. Most mature songwriting, darker, and featuring Jon’s incredible range (unfortunately for the last time). It’s truly perfect from start to finish, and that’s spoken by one of BJ’s biggest fans; I know every one of their songs from their entire catalogue. Their subsequent album Crush is great too but These Days is one of my all time favorite albums by any band.
My thoughts exactly. I thought I was the only one because These Days is always left out in every way imaginable. Slow decline after These Days for me, then they really dropped off a cliff with Lost Highway, culminating in the dogs shit of 2020.
Listening to this again 2 years later... I remember at concerts Jon would say "Welcome to Jonny's church of rock n roll" and I think it was just before this song.
This was the opener for their show in Austria in 1996. Instead of the drums, an Austrian traditional brass band played the intro to Lay Your Hands On Me. Honestly, I've never heard a brass band sound so cool ever since. 😄
I'm huge Bon Jovi fan and I love Jon Bon Jovi so much for everything he did in his life. Since their first album to 2020 he wrote every songs on each album with Richie a lot or alone or with someone else. Like you said he's an hardworker and his songs are so well written. His songs are so true and powerfull and beautiful, he know how to choose the words he's fantastic. His song helped me so much in my life during hard times and stuff of life. I'm so greatful for their music. Jon is the best such a great singer, songwriter and human being I dream to meet him one day.
He's so generous with people and with his fans always kind and nice. He never considered him to be a rock star or something, never pretend to be better than anyone else, he's a simple man who sing and he's a great dad and husband.
I know that a lot of people said bad and mean things about Jon voice and it's really sad because yes his voice has change but it still great and it rock it's just different. He's the same guy who wrote amazing songs with a lot of meaning, their 2020 album is a masterpiece to me. And he still work a lot on his voice like he always did and he always try to be better for his audience. And at almost 60 years old he still the greatest !! I love him really much. 😊 Everybody should listen Bon Jovi.
Thanks for the thoughts!
I read in an interview that jon and richie wrote it purposefully as a show opener hence the big intro build up
It works! Rock on!
This song is on New Jersey album which came out in 1988 and, yes, was produced by Fairbain. This one and Slippery are the pinnacle of their career in the '80s. So this album and this song has nothing to do what would happen 3 o 4 years later: I mean the Grunge movement. Until 1990 Bon Jovi were incredible huge in America. What you refer to Bon Jovi in Europe and his efforts to recover his fame in America happened around 1993 when they came back with Keep The Faith (new sound and image). During the '90s they did excellent with Keep The Faith and These Days and was in 2000 when they released Crush and their another hit single It's My Life when they recovered their status in America
Rock on!
You are right
What ken tamplin describe happening happened when they released Keep the faith in 1992
Don´t forget, Nirvana, Soundgarden ans Alice in Chains in 1990 already released their albums - so you could see the writings on the wall one or two years earlier
Dolly Parton liked this song she actually asked them if she could make this an actual gospel song. They agreed and it sounds cool.❤ Thanks for more Bon Jovi. I will always love them. I still love Jon's voice. Newer songs I am obsessed with are Who would you die for, Luv Can and Shine.❤ He knows how to write.❤😊🤘🏼I know I sound like a total fangirl.😂
Thanks for the info, Laura!
That is something I didn't know! Thanks Laura. There's actually a version of her doing the song live with Richie. I like how she's played with the lyrics a bit to suit her style.
Living in Sin from New Jersey shows Jon's range the best in this period. Those screams at the end are insane.
Thanks for mentioning! Rock on!
I actually dig the double entendre, innuendos and other puns in their lyrics. "I come to make my donation". 😏 Rock and roll, baby.
I agree about Jon being a workhorse that deserved the success he got. Someone not in the industry can hardly imagine the sacrifices made to get and stay here.
Well said! Rock on!
Ken, Bon Jovi such a great artist with list of great rock anthems heard the world over amazing success!!
Great band! Indeed!
this song rocks . Jon is a beast the video always got me hyped 🤘🤘
Thanks for listening.
Happy Independence Day!
🇺🇸🧨🎇
I was there for the shooting of the video at the Tacoma Dome. They opened the show with it (obviously) and then halfway through the show they stopped, went back snd toweled off, put their costumes back together and did the song and the whole opening over again to make sure they had two full takes. So this song has always had a special place in my heart.
I once heard the band do a sound check and they sung the chorus acapella to test their mics and monitors and it was amazing. Richie Samboras high part was stunning and the whole band was spot on.
Thanks for listening.
Happy Independence Day!
🇺🇸🧨🎇
Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
Sammy has a big fan base in St Louis. That is before VH, during VH, and after VH. I remember hearing Sammy on Kshe 95 when I was a little kid!
That's nice! Thanks, John!

This tune is on of my favs ..
I do luv the energy.. it always gets me outa my seat..

Turnitup ..
It's a great tune, for sure!
As both a singer and a longtime Bon Jovi fan, I'm really enjoying these latest videos. Very helpful to follow the songs along with your analysis! Loving all your videos!
Glad you like them!
Love Bon Jovi one of my favourites really miss Richie 😢 thanks Ken great job👊
Thanks for watching, Laureen!
I love Bon Jovi. Great music and great guys.
Well said!
Thank you! I like your energy, and I really think this song is a religious experience! I love it!!!!
This is a great song Ken another great one I love I absolutely love the intro it definitely rocks awesome intro beautiful melody starting out I never thought of the song as a gospel vibe Ken never knew bon jovi used biblical terms in his songs never thought of it that way thanks for pointing that out Ken bon jovi rocks on this song it's cool that he is a spiritual person that's awesome bon jovi rocks and his gospel influence that's awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍that guitar is rocking on this rocking awesome
Thanks for the thoughts, Cade.
Your very welcome Ken love sharing my thoughts
It's interesting that he puts a number of spiritual/religious references in his lyrics in different songs. "Santa Fe" is one of my favorites that he sings as well. His voice is incredible!
Definitely!
I have high hopes the Ken will react to Santa Fe :)
I agree. Bon Jovi grew as a band album after album and you can tell with the lyric content, in albums like Keep the Faith and These Days is a clear example. Great video, thank you.
This song reminds me of Bang a Drum , that also have this gospel line. Bj is great!
You’re a global treasure, Ken ❤️
Wow, thank you!
I just want to note that the “New Jersey” album came out in late 88’ at least 3 years prior to grunge hitting & probably 4 years prior to it’s real popularity. It was the 92’ album “Keep The Faith” & the 94’ album “These Days” that came out at the height of the grunge era… 😉
These Days came in 95 :)
Let’s talk about that scream 😆. Best part.
Rock on!
Ken: can we get it please get a new series out of you, “Ken Tamplin’s Air Guitar”? Love it when you do that. 😎👍
😁
Love you, Ken. I can't stop watching the videos lol
Glad you like them!
You're an absolute legend. Keep on doing great videos❤️❤️
Thank you! Will do!
cool as always ;)
would be great if you could do "Runaway" analysis. Would be great to hear your opinion about 21 year old Jon singing ability at that time
Thanks for listening!
The first thing that came to my mind when i heard the beginning, was Jon standing on the preachers stand, before starting to sing to the masses, with a gospel choir in the background. And again, such an amazing and unique sound. I really feel, that every Bon Jovi song is special and unique in its sound and presentation. :)
Thanks for weighing in, Lasse!
You are cracking me up! This was really informative
Glad it was helpful!
Incredible video! Please do more Bon Jovi analysis, maybe from Keep The Faith or These Days!
Glad you enjoy the series, Arturo!
Perfect and cool Analysis!!!!
Glad you liked it, Charles!
Wonderful with this series of Bon Jovi songs. It's wonderful to get a chance to hear juat the voice and compare with how I remember the full track.
Thanks for listening.
Happy Independence Day!
🇺🇸🧨🎇
Ken, I've been blown away with this episode of IVA and your version of "Lay Your Hands On Me"! It's epic!!!! Thank you very much! There is no better voice than yours. Jon doesn't have as powerful voice as you have but I love the way he sings a lot. "New Jersey" and "These Days" are my favourite BJ records. i can't agree with you more! Jon deserves lots of respect for his professionalism, hard work and ethic. And defenitely he is not only a pretty face! Although IMHO he is handsome as hell! The whole band, all the musicians are incredibly talented and very professional especially Jon but if it weren't for their amazing songs they would've disappeared from music scene a long time ago. And believe it or not You and Jon have a lot in common. High work ethic, professionalism, passion to music and respect to your audience/fans. You are AWESOME, Ken!!! Thank you. I'm your fan! Rock on!!!
Thanks for weighing in, Ilo Kon!
Bon Jovi is an incredibly talented band. You could even argue the most talented is Dave Bryan- Juilliard trained Tony award winning ..... The talent runs so deep. We know that jon and Richie were the songwriting powerhouse, but I'd be interested to know how much contribution David made to the music and construction of the songs. The guy wrote an award winning musical, which I imagine is no easy task!
Awesome. The best I like about u that u pay Respect to the artist but also point out their mistakes to teach us that its doable. 🧡🙏
I appreciate that, BOLD ART TV!
Awesome 👏 as always
Thank you so much 😀
Yes yes, yes. Best Bon Jovi ever recorded.
👍👍👍
Enjoyed this one.. Your version is amazing! 🔥 It's my 2nd favorite BJ cover you have done. Blaze of Glory is still my favorite. 👏👏👏 🔨
Glad you enjoyed it!
Outstanding! Seen him... Also just saw STYX and it was great! No masks etc... We OKIES are done with it and have been...
Rock on!!!
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
ooooweee..GREAT VIDEO..! LOVE JON !!! he is SUCH a great human....you see what he has been up to recent..?..
Rock on!
Great video! Love this song, the production is amazing! Bon Jovi got a lot of great, meaningful songs… I recommend Something to Believe in, Always, I Believe and Santa Fe. The vocals on these tracks are out of this world!
Love how informative these videos are… subscribed 😊
Great suggestion!
Bon Jovi as a band dont get nearly the respect they deserve. Unlike most other bands that have been able to stay around over the decades they dont just rely on their past hits and basically just do Greatest hits tours year after year. They actually still get in the studio and write new music to atleast attempt to keeps new hits coming. Now I wish Richie and Jon would have been able to clear up their stuff so Richie could stay in the band because the magic is those 2 together and I dont think the band has had what would be considered a hit since before Richie left. I think Have a Nice Day was probably the last rock hit and Who says you cant go home was more country. But anyway the way the band has been able to reinvent itself over the years to still be relevant says alot for how hard they work and love what they do. They really should be considered up there with rock royalty like the Stones, Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith. And if you look at it Bon Jovi has kept putting put new music and stayed relevant almost longer than any of them.
Thanks for the thoughts.
DLR really shredded his voice, but man it sure sounded AWESOME ❤️
Rock on!
I think Jon's energy in the song rubbed off on you, it's an awesome song and it's wonderful that music can energise us like that. It's great that you're a bon jovi fan, they were the first band I ever loved. You've given me a greater appreciation of the lyrics and just how talented Jon and the band are. In my album ranking I always put New Jersey over Slippery When Wet. Many of the Ppl who say Slippery was their best work haven't listened to their entire catalogue. Hardcore fans who have listened to every song on every album for hours on end rate new Jersey, keep the faith and These Days very highly. Indeed my own ranking would be: These Days, New Jersey, Faith and Slippery. Nice work Ken, could listen to 100 more bon jovi reactions.
Thanks for listening!
Dolly Parton’s gospel version is another fantastic version ♥️🙌🏼
Indeed! Thanks, Logan!
Bon Jovi ruled the 80's ❤
Hey Ken. Awesome. This is definitely one of my Top 5 or Top 10 Songs from Bon Jovi. The Video is a Monster. A Killer 80s Hair Metal Song.
Thanks for listen, Bluesman!
Hey Ken! Thanks for a great series on JBJ. Looking forward to the next one!😎
Thanks for watching!
@@kentamplin 😎
@@kentamplin Today was my 901st comment with 407 hearts received. Love the channel Ken! Thank you for all that you do!🤩😎
@@jeffschielka7845 Wow. You're missing about 500 💜💜💜!
@@kentamplin Lol! I think Cade is the only one with more comments? As always keep rockin' Ken!🖤
Jon was always hard working man but he was also a good businessman. When he realised second album was not an example of commercial success he decided to employ Desmond Child. One of the greatest songwriters in a rock history. Im pretty shure Ken knows the story.
I know you want to say positive things but it would be nice to do video with Jon Bon Jovi current live performance from era 2018-2019. It will be pretty intresting to understand what is happening with his current voice. To me it sounds now like he has problems with breathing and a few other things, not only throat and vocal chords. It might be neurotic issue with his whole body.
Thanks for the suggestion, Sensitivity!
Unfortunately, Jon became a smoker when he tried to be an actor for the movie Moonlight and Valentino. He hasn't quit since and it has done a huge number on his breathing and vocals. Why would you ruin that kind of gift with smoking?
I love this song. Loving the mini bon jovi tour. Would you be able to find the isolated vocals for the newer stuff and see and explain what techniques he is using now to use what he has left of his voice as well as he can?
I'm glad you enjoyed the series. I'm wrapping up JBJ, for awhile.
@@kentamplin ok fair enough. In the spirt of the euros happening in Europe could you do more light hearted videos and react to soccer songs 🤣🤣🤣 don't worry I'm joking lol
I love watching these video's, it's amazing how much knowledge and training you need. When you started to isolate the vocals and saying Jon have lots of influences the first band that came to mind was Queen, David and Ritchie have nice voices. Now I'm hopping over to listen to your version :P
Glad you like them!
Kudos to you for that little speech about Jon Bon Jovi and his work ethics. Yes, his voice is dwindling these days. But he has always been a workaholic and has busted his a** to get to where he is.
He sure has!
I always thought the bon jovi/ david lee roth scream seemed painful to try to immulate. Never really had a desire to try because I didn't want to risk messing up my voice. Glad to hear I'm not crazy for thinking that!
Not crazy at all!
The one in "I'll be there for you" really sounds painful to do.
Ken please do “In These Arms” by Bon Jovi.
In my opinion a hard song to sing.
😊👍
Cool shirt Ken
Thanks!
Your welcome
This RUclips channel is so 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Thank you for the great work you do!!!
I appreciate that, E V B!
Ken Tamplin - the happiest dude on RUclips! 😀
That's me!!
so cool shirt man! the blue Felix
Thanks!
He does alot if the belly type singing to hit then hold notes! This is his bread n butter but it also translates to that very distinc coached or lessons sound, and at least for Rock the unpolished raw character driven bluesy soulful grit sound can't be beat!!! Jon sounds great but you have Jon sing this then have Steven Tyler, Axl Rose, or Robert Plant sing it and its a day n night difference really good to GREAT!
I think "Lay Your Hands On Me" and "Bad Medicine" are the songs from the "New Jersey" era where Jon can improvise the most vocally in today's live performances and not have to sing *every* note the way he did on the recording, because those songs rely so heavily on backing vocals in the choruses.
Interesting thoughts. Thank you!
Loving all these analysis vids of Jon Bon Jovi Ken!
As my favorite vocalist growing up, and as a Christian, I too noticed all the Biblical references in a lot of his work. Not always in support of the faith but for the most part using it to emphasize a point. "I wanna be just as close as - the Holy Ghost is."
But the most Biblical song I think he's written so far is the track 'Amen' from the 2013 album What About Now. If you think it's about lust, you missed it. Outside the Bible itself, this song is probably the most descriptive writing about the sanctity of two people becoming one.
Thanks for the thoughts! Rock on!
Thanks you, Ken. Waiting for one the best power ballads - I'll be there for you
Maybe one day!
Been suffering with Ashma for a while now to an extent that I've had to place my singing on hold.....Its so frustrating.
I read an article on Bon who has suffered with Ashma all his life and his son having the same! Furthermore I read his son sings and has a band called 'inhaler'......been such an eye opener.
I've checked out his son and let me tell you, he sounds just like his dad. If you want a blast from the past, you have to listen to him.
Thanks for the information!
Hello Ken, thank you for these amazing isolated vocals series. These are the most entertaing for me and I also discovered some great singer through it.
I've got a suggestion for isolated vocals /reaction video. I know you love David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, so maybe look at some of their undeservedly less appreciated stuff from Come Taste The Band. It's personally my favorite Deep Purple album its funky in a good and have some great vocal performances in my opinion.
Thanks for the suggestion!

You should start a shirt store. I Like the shirt you have on. Oh yea, this video thing is awesome too!! Lol. Seriously I learn alot from your videos and appreciate what you do for all of us. Thank you.

Hey Ken, great video as always, it would be great to hear you cover Bon Jovi's "Always".
Great suggestion!
Again Great job ken!!Great song👌
Thanks, maong!! Keep on rockin'!
awesome song Ken, nice phoenix t shirt to boot, good sir.
Thanks, Bagpipe13!
@@kentamplin going to check out your version dude will let you know how you did.
The video to this song is so good ! Epic!
Rock on!
Would be nice to hear some of the songs off the first two Bon jovi albums were he sang quite high at times. I believe I saw an interview were jon said he had no vocal coaching until he started having problems on the slippery when wet tour.
Thanks for the thoughts!
When starting, with a cool and smooth voice then bam!!!! Great songwriter. Nice analysis really love your version.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've always felt that the bass player, Alec, was underrated.
Another great song from sir Bon Jovi. Didn’t know that the scream part was already a sign of voice deterioration. He must have called sir Ken to help him with his voice.
Thanks for watching, Joshua!
I’m pretty sure the “biblical” references stem from “Jonny’s church of rock n roll”
Amen.
10:15 - at the end of the song "Lets Make It Baby".
Rock on!
Great stuff Ken
Appreciate that!
Nobody should be questioning Jon's work ethic. He worked his butt off to get to where he is. It's what ultimately led to Richie leaving actually. It was taking him away from his daughter too much and he couldn't do it anymore. Around that same time even Jon said his family said him being gone so much was affecting them negatively.
Thanks for the thoughts.
I wonder if Ken grabbed Jon now could that voice be reconstructed?
Would love to find out.
@@kentamplin Jon Come on my brother get in touch with Ken !!!!!!!!
Wouldn't that be an awesome video series to watch!!!! Ken Tamplin helps Jon Bon Jovi get his classic voice back.
Pretty sure he must have had all sorts of professionals working on that, it must be beyond repair.
Warrant, I Saw Red. The most insane hight note ever
Noted! Rock on!
I personally think Johns voice was at its peak in the “these days” era back in 1995 some of the songs on that album I think John shows so much emotion like in something to believe in, you can hear his emotion in his singing and that’s what I think is his best voice and especially in the song These days I think you should do a video on some of the songs from that album because they are pure genius song writing and lyric writing.
Also These days is a very underrated album and I think Bon Jovis most underrated album they have produced
Thanks for weighing in, Liam!
Agree. KTF also, so 1992 - 1995ish for me.
Totally agree Liam! It's my favourite bj album actually. These Days the song is one of my favourite songs as well. They're really in story-telling mode on the entire album and it just shows a maturity that wasn't there before. I've always thought that these days may have had the greatest sambora influence.
It was Bruce Fairbain that produced New Jersey. I agree i think the tracks are as good as if not better than Slippery When Wet. My favourite period was mid 90s around the These Days record for me musically and lyrically their best.
Thanks for weighing in! Rock on!
Hey Ken.. good morning from Brazil... I come here to ask you to do this analysis on Blood on Blood, from the same album (New Jersey). this piece is one of my favourites and the lyrics has so much meaning and feeling.. please do it.. this series of yours, Isolated Vocals, is awesome.. keep up the good work.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Hey there.
Different song, but what about Jon's scream on the song "I'll be there for you" does that sound like early onset vocal separation to you?
‘New Jersey’ was one of the last great pre-grunge 80’s rock albums. ‘Slippery’ hasn’t aged as well as a collection of songs for me…
Thanks for weighing in, Phillip!
Agree with this.
Thanks for the video again. I´d like to see video about Jon´s voice chance from 2000 - 2016 Because what i have heard the music has changed a lot after Richie left the band. It would be nice to hear your comments about that.
Great suggestion!
New Jersey is their best record.
Rock on!
HOLA KEN .Nice job .l like Bon Jovi 🎶😂👍👍saludos de Argentina 👋
