I don’t remember how many times I have watched this. She is fabulous! No fancy band, no elaborate custom just a boom box and her voice... this is truly a singer!
This is a beautiful moment of humanity, when we can all stop running for a minute to notice and appreciate another human giving people something to stop for. Let’s feed each other’s souls and live in peace.
10 years later just came across this for the first time! That woman's got a powerful voice. And the video really deserves more views. May be considered rewarding the title slightly also including cover. Hope she still doing her thing! Respect
I can't believe I just happened to discover this. It's like winning the lotto or seeing the eighth wonder of the world. The more I watch it the more amazed I am and I love the train whistle and the amazed looks on the peoples faces.
Imagine the title of this video was An Almost Splendid Vocal Performance in a New York City Subway Fails When Singer Changes Lyrics. Absurd, right? Best wishes to Alice Ridley!
What a lovely, GOD gifted, fabulous, talented soul. Ms. Alice T. Ridley, without a shadow of a doubt, GOD is going to take you place your never would have imagined!!!!! Your voice is so vibrant, rich, strong, beautiful, there is no stopping you now!!!!!!!
I Love this Video so much😊Alice Delivered this Song🎤I Think Ms Gladys Knight would be Proud too👍🏽Continued Blessings🌹Beautiful ♥️Queen Elizabeth Thomas-Bryant🙋🏽♀️
I lived in Manhattan for a decade... and my office was just off the 34th St. station. Saw and heard Alice several times. Really attention-catching in person.
Well done ALICE RIDLEY and what a fantastic voice and rendition to Gladys night and the pips MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA You are a star in the making. Good luck and a big hug from LONDON ENGLAND.
i could lave a coment on each and every one of these of alices performances and they would all be the same a star is born on each one .the woman is a superstar
I have a million things to do today, but I just can't find the strength To just walk away from watching and listening to Alice Tan Ridley sing, she's an amazing woman with such a beautiful voice it's like a magnet that just keeps pulling me back
I would rather hear her sing this song than the original artist. This makes one want to go to New York, hang in the subways, just to wait to hear this beautiful lady sing. She is solid gold platinum supreme. She is singing her heart to support her children. What a love she must have for her children. Her children are so fortunate to have such a wonderful mother as this lady. Mahalia Jackson would have thrilled within her soul to of have heard this lady sing.
i would buy evrything she puts out. This is what"s missing in our music TRUE SOUL......love it. God Bless youi Mrs. Alice..........Vote for her on America's Got Talent.
Thank God that lady used her ever so natural talent, and really learnt to sing with feeling that wonderful song , I have not heard it sung with depth of correct expression for every word, good on her, those so so lucky people in the subway
What a performance... So many people standing in amazement and not a camera phone in sight, just watching and appriciating the talent in front of their eyes.
im stunned wow holy father in heaven can feel the love so we can all i just replayed this today and wow what power what heart this is the best version i ever heard if you was on that platform your never ever forget this Star of a lady tattooeing your hearts and soul with deep love moement
This is so beautiful...in so many ways. This person is beautiful...like from deep within! I am very touched. I am sening all my love from Switzerland over there!
Just seen your audition on America has got talent :-) wow I'm now addicted to your voice and music. Well done and bring back the oldies so the young generation know what real music is:-) Ben London
If Alice's voice and performance here does not move you, you are either dead inside or completely deaf. The lady that places her hand on her mouth as she listens, certainly gets it.
Look at all those people on the verge of tears. True artist doesnt matter where they come from can make you feel emotions. This is something truly lacking in today's music industry, all the justin biebers, miley cyrus, nicki munaj with sold out arenas cant hope to duplicte what you just witnessed here
THANKS for sharing this piece of magic with us! Truly AMAAAAAAZING voice! Definitely up there with the GREATS! Aretha Franklins, Houston, Gladys Knight ....its a TRAVESTY she hasn't been signed?? wtf??
I listen to her constantly. She makes me cry ugly tears she is soooooooo fantastic! My absolute favourite! Lady you are true royalty . One of life's blessings xxxx
The depth of soul that the people are feeling while hearing her sing is striking them with such awe, that they are speechless, for she has lulled them into another world of bliss, and that is why you are seeing the responsive looks on their faces. Their hearts are breaking at the seems, while they behold her genuine performance. For this beautiful lady to be able to sing like this, she has definately known the depths of a broken heart, and she is bleeding her blues before these people.
I would have missed like 3 trains listening to her sing 😂 ...oh my God 😮 amazing voice... truly blessed
I second that she brilliant. I hope she doing well with her career.
This proves the greatest talents lie undiscovered. WOW, JUST WOW!!
And some with limited talent are making millions🤢
This is Gabourey Sidibe's mother. I love her! Heard her sing many times in the subway. She is AWESOME!!!
@@Abymilde Wait. What? What did Veronica say that was _trying to be funny?_ She speaks the truth. Alice IS Gabourey's mother.
Wish I heard her live in the NYC subway when we visited
@@f32440i plus she interacted with the crowd. She was very personable and likable.
I am crying, it touch my soul. And it touched peoples.. You can read it in their eye's.
Yes!!!
I don’t remember how many times I have watched this. She is fabulous! No fancy band, no elaborate custom just a boom box and her voice... this is truly a singer!
Her voice brings tears to my eyes…beautiful
This is a beautiful moment of humanity, when we can all stop running for a minute to notice and appreciate another human giving people something to stop for. Let’s feed each other’s souls and live in peace.
I would pay to hear this live
Got a chance to meet this woman a few years ago At 34th penn very talented and the sweetest person
Imagine if all those standing there & enjoying her voice gave 1.00 each.
She has almost made a grown man cry with that beautiful voice, it cut right through to my soul. What an amazing Lady.
very emotional it made me cry, I love it.
me too! her auro reaches out and grabs your heart!
I have been singing this song with Gladys all of my life and NOT ONCE was I ever touched or crying. Ms. Ridley is truly singing from her heart.
10 years later just came across this for the first time! That woman's got a powerful voice. And the video really deserves more views.
May be considered rewarding the title slightly also including cover.
Hope she still doing her thing!
Respect
I can't believe I just happened to discover this. It's like winning the lotto or seeing the eighth wonder of the world. The more I watch it the more amazed I am and I love the train whistle and the amazed looks on the peoples faces.

She is amazing! Just as beautiful as her daughter, and my God what presence! You can see she has her audience mesmerized....
Mesmerized & hopefully monetized her audience.
I feel like people don’t stop to enjoy absolutely beautiful performances like this anymore
Look at that crowd! People of all colors. No one was divided. They were just amazed by her talent. Music brings people together. Beautiful moment.
You're a hall of fame in my book;) awesome voice....
Choking back tears. So beautiful

WHAT A GREAT PERFORMER.
She's the star of the movie "Precious" mother. The award winning main character named Precious is her child. Talent must run in their genes.
