I live in the same country, South Africa, as this amazing singer. I'm so proud of that. This small country on the bottom tip of Africa with all its heartache, pain, different cultures, dreams and hopes.
I asked Ruhan why he didn't try out for 'The Voice' or 'American Idol' - become world known. He said that he was happy just being known in South Africa. A true loss for the rest of the world - but thank goodness I can keep coming back to hear this amazing gift of his. Thank you Ruhan.
With this song you can just see and hear what great artists Simon and Garfunkel were, this song is so timeless and so brilliant, it will still be sung in 30 years and will be refreshed again and again! And this Version Kicks me !
@@janecupp3239 oh yes when I was a teen I listened to Simon and Garfunkel..I loved the song back then too..but now it's different to me than back then..u know what I mean..?
I am already in pieces from a personal disappointment but here I am... go figure 😣 But the way if you have interest in something similar (soul crashing) please check Creep covers (there is one cover of two German sisters 😭😭)
the same ^^ every year i found a new cover but i am back here ... the most powerfull cover , the rare who s interstand the endless power you must unleashed singing this jewel
Look up a kid named Ruben Liversage. He really does a great job for a high school kid. Just don't mind all the dancers around him. He is now older, but I wish he would have had a chance at a music career.
This is exactly what I expected from this song. It is a powerful voice that would penetrate the heart, touching the mind and enveloping in awe. Only two performers are now able to give such delight from this crush.
Ruhan...from a South African in South Korea to you...man, you make me proud to be South African! Whenever I share your video people fret and wipe tears. You have the voice, the style, that talent, the true touch of class! The best version ever! Trots op jou...
Here i find myself two years after hearing this cover for the first time still coming back to it what an absolutely awesome job a voice that is so damn powerful. Simply amazing
Wonderful version of this song by Ruhan du Toit. But then, as far back as I can remember, the South Africans have always excelled when doing covers of well known songs. This is no exception. Spectacular visuals as well -- those eyes......
I played Touch of Class and Disturbed at the same time, and wow, what an awesome, awesome duet?! Goosebumps good. I wish they would come together on this one.
This is ABSOLUTLY MINDBLOWING MASTERPIECE!! THIS MAN IS A GENIUS !! I'm simply addicted of this brilliant, outstanding timeless, very powerfull, legendary track and T H I S performence... I'm speechless... The is the best performence of this huge and mystical track ever since the Simon and Garfunkel...
This is simply outstanding, out of this world. The music composition look like by some great symphony orchestra, and the recording engineers have done marvellous work. I had to listen to it 8 times on repeat mode before shutting down my system. More from this guy welcome!
Six years ago I thought I'd heard the best version of this beautiful song ever. Now wracked with stage 4 incurable breast cancer my views have changed.
Monica Jarvis The original doesn't make me cry. this makes me bawl. awful thing to say, cuz this would not exist without the original, but there we go.
I think that it is the passion in his voice Ann,its very moving.This version chokes me up also.I have also played this over and over again.I never get sick of listening to this version.
I wonder if Paul Simon has heard this, and Disturbed's, version of this classic? I wonder if he wishes he could sing it like this? After listening to it for around 50 years i was really sick of this song - until i heard this.
This is the best screamer I have ever heard. I just have so much admiration for him I to am an ex south African. Veels geluk my vriend en baie dankie vir jou lieflike stem. Jy is die beste.. 'n.z.
Still one of the best ever renditions of this song. I had the pleasure of attending one of their shows. Wow. What an honour! I play this song over and over again. You're great guys👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
I begged for this song to be played at a Rhodesian camp in the UK. Nobody knew them. We were devastated. So got them to play this. One of the sound crew guys were gobsmacked... Incredible guitarist and vocalist. Lief julle tonne xxx
Jeszcze nigdy takie ciary nie przeszywaly mnie na wylot NAJPIĘKNIEJSZA wersja jaką kiedykolwiek slyszalem kiedy slucham mam gęsią skórkę na calym ciele SUPER

Old voice not good better than and not fluid his voice
still looking for a better cover..but still not found it👍
Look up a kid named Ruben Liversage. He really does a great job for a high school kid. Just don't mind all the dancers around him. He is now older, but I wish he would have had a chance at a music career.
I think this mans voice and how he sings this song is so good . I loved it
This is exactly what I expected from this song. It is a powerful voice that would penetrate the heart, touching the mind and enveloping in awe. Only two performers are now able to give such delight from this crush.
👏👏❤🎶❤🎧
Who are the other two? Please tell me?
David Draiman of Disturbed is one of the 2. I do not know the other one. Maybe the original, Simon & Garfinkel?
@@jsfifteen2621 Don't forget "Wolf Winters"
Jonathan Young = perfect cover
