@ MzKalliBaby83, You're absolutely right about that. You know that the Apollo is legendary, so Rickey need a name for his show. Perhaps "The South Apollo Show" or something like that. Rickey Smiley got something here. He has the potential to create a new Apollo Show like show here in Birmingham, Alabama and to bring this show to a major network. It definitely can cross over into mainstream.
Look at my old classmate, Tony Tatum I'm proud of him, showing luv all the way from pure Michigan.... we all use to sing back in junior high... any more michiganders in the building🤗💜🤗
@@tonytatum9509 just for kicks bro. You don't really look like him. I just got that vibe that night. But truth be told, man you got a gift. I always hated that some of the best talent never got their just do. Keep up your good work and God bless.
I was on TikTok after talking to my dad about my Uncle who passed away and heard this song... it was his favorite song he would sing for us... lol I felt like he was trying to comfort me and now here we are again. 🕊❤🕊 this made me cry for real. This man knows this place he's singing about. It's real to him. I felt it.
@Tony Tatum - You sang your butt off and poured your whole ❤ out on that stage!!! That's an extremely hard song to sing even for the most advanced artists. You did that sir and I pray 🙏 God's best for your career this year!!! Much love my brotha!!!
when i clicked on this i was like aint no way he's gonna pull this off. that might be one of the hardest songs to sing. matter of fact i didn't think anyone but Lenny could sing it. had me in my feelings too. damn.
So proud for my dear friend...such a long time coming...stardom is deserved. I will hire my friend for my wedding in the near future. Go Tony T.!!!!!!!!
Wow ! That was a wonderful performance, brought back a lot of memories. OLD SCHOOL AT IT'S BEST ! ! Would love to hear him and WEST LOVE sing together. Ms. Jannie, I would have thrown my draws at him too ! ! 🤣😂🤣. Love you Rickey Smiley ❤️🙏🏾
Tony Tatum is awesome, he get you feeling his songs, I get totally blown away with his singing and this song really did it for me, I keep watching this performance over and over, he sounds exactly like Lenny Williams, Lawd, amazing talent !!! I felt that 🔥🔥❤️💯
Where Ms. Jamie be getting them 4x drawz from shes not that big🤦♀️🤦♀️🤣🤣 shid i would have been on that stage myself nice performance 🙌🙌🙌HE PICKED THE PERFECT SONG
I gave this man a Standing Ovation. He tore this song up, I thought Ms Janie was bout to throw her 3 piece suit up there. Hell I was bout to throw my shoe!!! Can't wait to see him on Feb 8th with a Live band!!!
