David is classically trained and is one of the best tenors on the planet hands down. He is huge in the gospel community and was a member of the Gaither Vocal Band for many years. He does a killer cover of Whitney's "I Have Nothing" as you can see in other comments. He sings his own amazing version of Nessun Dorma and Ava Maria. He has a new album out with some great music on it, "Hello Beautiful", I Remember What We Thought Love Was", "Song For Sinners". Then he has a plethora of classics like "No More Night", "End of the Beginning", and one of my favorites of his, "Just As I Am". The passion he sings with and his vocal ability are, in my opinion, unmatched. He is definitely another rabbit hole artist.
agreed but you're not gonna like this -- I would submit that David has not found many excellent songs yet, and it holds him back from the public. HITS that are originals. his stand out songs are all of the classics other people have recorded. he does the best, granted! but he needs to find that songwriter or those songs that have indelible hit quality. "end of the beginning" or others just don't have epic hooks. when I go on Spotify and see how low his listener base is, compared to other singers like Josh Groban, my heart just drops because there are so many people who need to hear David's voice. but it's going to take catchier songs. like I said not a popular opinion! :-)
David Phelps is a gift from God. His amazing voice has got me through many tough times. You feel the hand of God upon you when David sings. You need to hear more of his songs. He can sing anything. My favourite is no more night, also Gentle Saviour. He is a very well known gospel singer.
The Holy Spirit is literally inside the man’s vocal cords. He’s legend. So is Anthony Berger on those keys. Makes you wanna be lost just so you can get saved again. GLORY.
@@ThatSingerReactions and his cover of “I Have Nothing” came 20 years after this Holy Night performance. Vocally at 50+ his voice is now even more insane. He is a true vocal athlete.
You are hearing one of the best tenors ever in David Phelps! He was part of the Christian group, The Gaither Vocal Band! He was with them for awhile then he did some solo work! When God gives you a gift like that all you can do is sing to Him and give God the Glory! David is a beautiful man and talent! Thank you for reacting to him! Christ's peace and joy to you!
David Phelps is Gospel music's best kept secret, also known as The Voice in the industry. Whitney Houston was actually a fan of David's and considered him one of the best male vocalist alive, in return David was and is a big Whitney Houston fan himself and that is one of the reasons he performed her song I Have Nothing this past year. He is now 52yrs old and sings as well as ever, with 25 years worth of songs that can be found on youtube. He is also a brilliant song composer and arranger and though he will never admit it a great musician in his own right.
My chair was rocking, my chest was a heaving… OM GOSH!! What the heck ( it’s a gospel song😀) did I just hear … that was simply unbelievable. It just can’t be sung better IMHO. WOW!!
It’s so crazy that I’ve been binging on David Phelps and watching every reaction I can find and I was disappointed that my favorite reactor here hadn’t done one yet. I was just thinking that I would probably have to do a PayPal request, and then Lo and Behold I see this video 29 minutes after you dropped it. Perfect song, amazing singer, spot on reaction! Welcome to the world of David Phelps fans. Praise The Lord!!
Piano playing is flawless. The great late Anthony Berger. Sadly he died during a Gaither concert. So young. Sad. But he’s playing piano for those in heaven. Amen
David joined The Gaither Band just prior to this performance...It's a huge Gospel Group. He was very shy....but when he sings...it's like he's preaching the Gospel....so much devotion and a voice blessed by God. Nic I can't tell you how happy I am you found him. Last year he released a single of Whitney Houstons, I Have Nothing...so it's very apt that you mentioned he has that same passion as her. Great reaction Nic
He is one of the best Gospel singers ever. I have been listening to him for over 15 years . He sings on the Gospel channel with Bill and Gloria Gaither show .
Fun to watch you react to someone I have been listening to for years. The Gaither Vocal Band is absolutely astounding. They were their best with David Phelps at tenor.
Can’t believe this is your first time experiencing David Phelps. This is arguably the best male singer in the world[Before the Dimash fans come in, I said arguably], you need to check out more of his stuff. There’s a compilation you need to see, it’s called “David Phelps most resonant high notes”. You’ll get the best idea what this man can do watching that.
I think Dimash has a more abilities in terms of pure technicality but overall, i feel like Phelps is more consistent in his delivery. I like him more from a performer's perspective
Oh YES! Your reaction when he got to those highest notes has to be the BEST I've ever seen!!! Your face, mouth open, eyes aglow ... made my evening. And the best thing is, David Phelps is truly a nice person ... no big ego ... And you need to hear The End of the Beginning", which he wrote! What a witness!
He is not just a gospel singer but a song writer, pianist, arranger and displays CLASSY ELEGANT EMOTION in his original songs and covers. He does I Have Nothing in the original key. Hello Beautiful MV is so touching.
Bill and Gloria Gaither are gospel singers and song writers. David Phelps was part of the Gaither Vocal Band for many years. He is one of the best vocalists I have literally ever heard. If I could only hear one person sing from now on, it would be him!!
“You felt goose bumps”, that’s the way real Christians feel EVERYDAY!!! Jesus will bring you joy unspeakable and full of glory, but only if you truly know HIM as your Savior!!
Listening to David is next to hearing the voice of God..... Will bring you to your knees every time.... Please dig deeper... No more night, We shall behold Him, and anything with the Gaither Vocal Band which is a male vocal band with amazing harmony......
Bill and Gloria Gaither are hosting the event. Bill Gaither has a vocal band as well as hosting many southern gospel event. David was a member of the vocal band for about 12 years. He is the greatest tenor I have ever heard. Listen to "No more night". It will blow your mind. Every note and word he sings comes straight from the heart in order to bring God glory. Even non-Christians can listen to this version of O Holy Night and be moved by the power of David's amazing voice.
Our sweet, incredible David! The piano player is Anthony Burger. He died during a Gaither Concert of a massive heart attack at the age of 44. We miss him so much! His music awards are amazing! Be sure and listen to David with the Gaither Vocal Band. He does some songs that will give you chills!
I listen to this performance every year. It was the first time I ever felt like the song was a testimony. He sings with so much passion and control. It gives me chills every year.
I just happened to come across him one day channel surfing while he was singing this song and it was so beautiful I sat there and cried my eyes out it was so beautiful and powerful.
He sings from his heart! Listening to him in soooo many songs for years and years. He is Alive is a great one. Can find a compilation. of his range. Has a gift from God Almighty for sure!
Thanks brother I appreciate your reaction and featuring David Phelps. You have just scratched the surface sir. More David Phelps please. His most watched and famous videos life as he seems better lie than most people doing the studio. Songs like just as I am. No more night. I have nothing. Never Walk Alone. The dream. Your Love. Mio Bambino Caro. We Shall Behold Him. Nessun Dorma. And many more. I appreciate your brother I will be looking forward to it. Until next time, stay well
The Gaither Vocal Band OFTEN focuses on one voice for particular songs. O Holy Night really lends itself to a tenor and David is supreme. This was at a Gaither Homecoming Concert. You should check out more because Bill has the most amazing voices in his concerts.
I once saw an interview Bill Gaither did with David Phelps, where he commented that David could make a year's living just singing 'O, Holy Night' from November 1 to December 24th. He wasn't wrong. The man is crazy talented. The Gaither Vocal Band does indeed attract fantastic voices, hosted in the bodies of Godly men.
Not often I say this about singers, but the way he projects and enunciates reminds me of Whitney, and thats the highest praise I can give any singer! Just so much power and clarity.
Great reaction. Yes, he is annointed. His voice is straight from God. Please react to more. I could listen to him for hours - and quite often do - he is awesome.
Thanks so much Nick! I am the “Joe” that requested this reaction on Patreon. Lol. I was looking, and looking, and looking for your reaction to this. I have seen many reactions to this version of my favorite Christmas song, but I couldn’t wait to see you put your genuine love on it. I have “heard” this song before, but with the conviction that David sings it, I LISTENED to the lyrics for the first time. The lyrics are so beautiful, and this is the only version I’ve heard that does the Christ birth justice. Glad you liked it, and thanks again. Btw, the lyric in the beginning is “‘til He appeared, and the soul felt it’s worth.”
Please watch more of David!! I've been following him for over 25 yrs and it gives me such joy to watch people hear him for the first time. He has a God given gift as does his daughters...look forward to watching u continue to discover such a talent.
David Phelps is a once in a generation voice! You may not know the names of the Gaither’s, but I can guarantee that you know their music. They are gospel music powerhouses! Bill and Gloria have written hundreds of famous gospel songs that I’m sure you would know, if you heard them, but “He Touched Me” is fairly universally known. Hey have a group of artists, musicians, and singers that they bring together (called their Homecoming series). Bill and Gloria began as a trio WAY back in the day, and then Bill transitioned that into a male vocal band (Gaither Vocal Band) in 1980 and the band is still going strong today (through varying members over the years, except Bill).
The best singer on the planet!!! He not only sings, but writes, arranges and produces his music. I have been following him for 20 years. I could name many songs that are great, but no matter what you choose, he will knock it out out of the park. Such a wonderful kind and humble person whom God so richly blessed with this voice, I hope you continue to react to his music. Loved your reaction to this one.
Welcome to a beautiful rabbit hole of David Phelps!! As everyone is saying... you've got to hear and react to him singing "I have nothing" ! It will blow your socks off !! You heard just a tip of David's singing abilities in this video ! Tighten your seat belt and enjoy the ride !!!
Listening to this man sing gave me chills!! I feel like I just got a sneak peak/glimpse of what Heaven's choir is going to sound like and David Phelps is the lead singer!! When David goes into the chorus for the second time I felt like I was hearing an angel that has been sent to Earth to sing for God's glory and for us to just sit back and enjoy and be in awe!!! This man has, without a doubt, a voice that has been blessed and annointed by God himself!! David is 53 years old this year and can still sing this good. What an amazing talent he is.
Bill and Gloria Gaither are married Christian singers, songwriters and producers. Gloria has semi-retired from singing but still writes. Bill started the Gaither Vocal Band back in the 1980s and it has had a varying lineup over the years. The big group in this video is called the Homecoming Friends. Back in the late 1980s or early 1990s Bill thought that many older Gospel singers were fading from view and deserved a better following, so he brought many of them together and started shooting videos of them singing their own hits and classic Gospel songs. The concept proved quite successful and has carried on for decades now with tours and video/album releases. The Gaithers have a syndicated radio show and a tv program as well.
Oh yes! Welcome toDavid Phelps! Probably the best Gospel singer there is. He has a theatrical voice and he would be wonderful on Broadway, but he made the decision to sing within his faith! 2 other things - 1. Can we recognise the brilliant pianist and arrangement accompanying David. 2. In videos of David where he is backed by this choir there is usually a guy behind David somewhere who simply can't contain himself when David really hits the money note in the song. In this video he had a red shirt on. PS Apparently David Phelps gives master classes. extraordinary singer. Thank you for your comment and so nice to see your video on the day you made it. Hi from Australia!!
The pianist was Anthony Burger, one of the best ever. Sadly, he died several years ago at a relatively young age. The guy in the red shirt, Mark Lowry, is a comedian and singer who was the long time baritone of the Gaither Vocal Band, along with David as the tenor. Mark also is famous as the lyricist who wrote the words of "Mary, Did You Know?".
OMGosh. I've been listening to David Phelps for years. He always gives me chills. I encourage you to listen to "No More Tears". I hope it's not sacrilegious but I had it playing 4 days ago when I had to have my precious, sweet angel dog put to sleep. With tears streaming down my face, a small Christmas tree with lights, and lit candles, David Phelps sang "no more pain". My sweet Lola baby peacefully transitioned to her next life. No more pain for my lively pup, but for me, I'm shattered. Phelps helps remind me that God promises "no more pain".
Thank you God, for blessing David's voice. with your Holy Spirit.! Love the blessing and can't 'join David' in song because it is SO SO SO blessed. I can't stop sobbing. It just brings me to the foot of the cross !
He’s classically trained. David Phelps. He’s been singing with the Gaithers for years. You have to listen to some of his records. You need to hear him sing an opera song!
You can't go wrong with any David Phelps performance! I hope you react to more of his stuff as he truly is amazing, incredible, (insert superlative here)! When your jaw dropped (the first time), I had a feeling you were hooked! Actually, "No More Night" would be great to start with. He's one of, if not, my favorite male singers (Gabriel Henrique is up there, too. Those two can emote so naturally!)! Anyways, lots of versions of "O Holy Night" you can react to: SoHyang, Morissette (many versions, not sure if you reacted to any of them since you react to A LOT of performances/music videos), Tori Kelly, Carrie Underwood, and many more. Anyways, I enjoyed your reaction, as I always do (I was shook the first time, and subsequent times, I watched this, too)
I absolutely love to watch people the first time they hear David sing! No matter who you are or what you believe, the man is amazing!
Gotr love those homecomings😂💯🙌
@@trevpoo8762 💯♥️😉

Only way I can re experience my first time. It’s a favorite past time of mine. The only song I watch reactions to
The pianist was Anthony Burger. Sadly, he passed in 2006. He was an amazing talent.
That man was seriously SLAYING them keys hard.... Wow...
Yes he is one of my favorite pianist.
@@dcfan2222 you would love to hear his "story" regarding his 👋🖐 hands!
Anthony was the best, add David's amazing voice and this masterpiece is the result.

Yep. I remember when he was the youngest and he father kept saying he was the best singer and it was hard to imagine but... Indeed he was.

He did a cover this past year of “I Have Nothing” by Whitney Houston. He nailed it too.
What! Wow

Thanks for recommending it. I was going to, as well. It is one powerful performance complete with piano and cello accompaniment.
When David Phelps sings you can feel the Holy Spirit whether it’s seeing him live or just watching RUclips. Praise God hallelujah!!🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
yes!!! definitely!! I feel it every time I hear his songs!!! huge Fan of phelps 🙌
It's the same Holy Spirit touch with Elvis Presley's gospel singing all God given and faithful work on their part......🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇

Yes!!!!
Another vote for this one!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!
It’s awesome!
He did yall! I sent him a cash app and he done it!!!
This was 25 years ago. Now go listen to him doing Whitney "I have nothing" at 52 years old.
Woooow really?
Don't sleep on Southern Gospel singers. They gotta be on perfect pitch all the time due to singing in such tight group harmonies. And do it LIVE
My fav tenor gospel singer is all time…. David Phelps 💜
" who is he" my friend that is one of the greatest Tenors of our Generation.
My chair was rocking, my chest was a heaving… OM GOSH!! What the heck ( it’s a gospel song😀) did I just hear … that was simply unbelievable. It just can’t be sung better IMHO. WOW!!
He does mostly gospel. The venues he does are mostly churches.
The song was written for David’s voice.
None better.
RIP Anthony Burger, the maestro on the piano. 2nd to none.
David Phelps is a vocal Olympian. He’s always this extraordinary.

Such a wonderful kind and humble person whom God so richly blessed with this voice, I hope you continue to react to his music. Loved your reaction to this one.
Everything David does is amazing
One of the best live performances across any genre of music ever
Welcome to a beautiful rabbit hole of David Phelps!! As everyone is saying... you've got to hear and react to him singing "I have nothing" ! It will blow your socks off !! You heard just a tip of David's singing abilities in this video ! Tighten your seat belt and enjoy the ride !!!
It has been said... some people sing 'O Holy Night,' but when David Phelps sings it... he really means IT!
This is my favorite Christmas Carol. This is now my favorite singer! Wow! Phenomenal!
Listening to this man sing gave me chills!!
I feel like I just got a sneak peak/glimpse of what Heaven's choir is going to sound like
and David Phelps is the lead singer!!
When David goes into the chorus for the second time I felt like I was hearing
an angel that has been sent to Earth to sing for God's glory and for us to just
sit back and enjoy and be in awe!!!
This man has, without a doubt, a voice that has been blessed and annointed by
God himself!!
David is 53 years old this year and can still sing this good.
What an amazing talent he is.
Bill and Gloria Gaither are married Christian singers, songwriters and producers. Gloria has semi-retired from singing but still writes. Bill started the Gaither Vocal Band back in the 1980s and it has had a varying lineup over the years. The big group in this video is called the Homecoming Friends. Back in the late 1980s or early 1990s Bill thought that many older Gospel singers were fading from view and deserved a better following, so he brought many of them together and started shooting videos of them singing their own hits and classic Gospel songs. The concept proved quite successful and has carried on for decades now with tours and video/album releases. The Gaithers have a syndicated radio show and a tv program as well.
Welcome to the world of David Phelps. You can’t go wrong with anything he sings. He’s one of my favorites.
I absolutely love watching reactions from people who have never heard David before!!!! And you did not disappoint!!!!
Oh yes! Welcome toDavid Phelps! Probably the best Gospel singer there is. He has a theatrical voice and he would be wonderful on Broadway, but he made the decision to sing within his faith! 2 other things - 1. Can we recognise the brilliant pianist and arrangement accompanying David. 2. In videos of David where he is backed by this choir there is usually a guy behind David somewhere who simply can't contain himself when David really hits the money note in the song. In this video he had a red shirt on. PS Apparently David Phelps gives master classes. extraordinary singer. Thank you for your comment and so nice to see your video on the day you made it. Hi from Australia!!
The man in the red shirt is Mark Lowry. He always gets happy when David is singing.
The pianist was Anthony Burger, one of the best ever. Sadly, he died several years ago at a relatively young age. The guy in the red shirt, Mark Lowry, is a comedian and singer who was the long time baritone of the Gaither Vocal Band, along with David as the tenor. Mark also is famous as the lyricist who wrote the words of "Mary, Did You Know?".
OMGosh. I've been listening to David Phelps for years. He always gives me chills. I encourage you to listen to "No More Tears". I hope it's not sacrilegious but I had it playing 4 days ago when I had to have my precious, sweet angel dog put to sleep. With tears streaming down my face, a small Christmas tree with lights, and lit candles, David Phelps sang "no more pain". My sweet Lola baby peacefully transitioned to her next life. No more pain for my lively pup, but for me, I'm shattered. Phelps helps remind me that God promises "no more pain".
This was recorded approx 23 years ago. Today he still, at 52 can sing and hit those highs. He coveted Whitney's I have nothing! Amazing!
I have been to many of his concerts and each and every time I get chills!
Did you hear that piano player??
WORLD CLASS!! (Anthony Burger)
David Phelps is anointed and living up to it. Awesome. I heard that Whitney actually called him the best tenor she'd heard.
Thank you God, for blessing David's voice. with your Holy Spirit.! Love the blessing and can't 'join David' in song
because it is SO SO SO blessed. I can't stop sobbing. It just brings me to the foot of the cross !
yasss! david phelps is an INCREDIBLE vocalist! im so glad youve finally listened to him! he gives me chills all the time
He is filled with the Holy Spirit and pouring it out to all. ❤🙏🏼❤
He’s classically trained. David Phelps. He’s been singing with the Gaithers for years. You have to listen to some of his records. You need to hear him sing an opera song!
You should hear him sing No More Nights!!!!!! INCREDIBLE!❤
I’m so glad you did this reaction! David Phelps is the best tenor anywhere! Please react to No More Night and I Have Nothing.
I LOVE to watch people the first time they hear David sing. I’ve grown up with him as my absolute favorite singer and for good reason
That passion comes from truly believing the words.
I agree, I love watching professional voice coaches seeing David Phelps for the first time. Thanks brother for liking him.
You can't go wrong with any David Phelps performance! I hope you react to more of his stuff as he truly is amazing, incredible, (insert superlative here)! When your jaw dropped (the first time), I had a feeling you were hooked! Actually, "No More Night" would be great to start with. He's one of, if not, my favorite male singers (Gabriel Henrique is up there, too. Those two can emote so naturally!)! Anyways, lots of versions of "O Holy Night" you can react to: SoHyang, Morissette (many versions, not sure if you reacted to any of them since you react to A LOT of performances/music videos), Tori Kelly, Carrie Underwood, and many more. Anyways, I enjoyed your reaction, as I always do (I was shook the first time, and subsequent times, I watched this, too)
