@where is my wall While Jotta is amazing for me the quality of David's notes throughout his range is just on another level. There's no wrong answer between the two because at the end of the day it's all about preference!
There is singing, there is singing well, there is being a great singer ….. then there is David Phelps. He is standing in a league of his own with his voice.. It is not only the notes that he effortlessly hits, the faultless tone, and the power, its the pitch PERFECT performance, and I mean PERFECT ! WOW.
I have had the pleasure of seeing David Phelps in person twice and I am here to tell you he is every bit the perfect singer in person! I have never heard anyone sing the way this man sings and I have been listening to music for over sixty years! If you ever get the chance to see him perform live you would be insane not to jump on it. Trust me, buy your ticket and go see him in person. If you love music, you will never be the same again!
I've been following David Phelps for 20 years and it's amazing that he is just now getting some recognition outside of the gospel/Christian circle. He is THE most incredible singer ever!
I actually used to sing background for David. Yes he is a southern gospel singer, but he is classically trained and holds a master's degree from Baylor University. In his falsetto he actually hits Eb6.
He rarely uses falsetto....its his natural voice ....thats why its so rich n why he has such excellent control....falsetto uses too much air to support it so long...n solid. Its all natural baby!!!
Chrome24 I fully agree! For people who try to compare him to other people using falsetto. That is crazy this man is the greatest Tenor alive! Massive sustain!
Yeah, and he does it all for the glory of God in Christ Jesus. I've seen Mr Phelps live like, five times and had the pleasure of meeting him a couple times. He is the real deal. The most likeable, genuine Godly guy you could imagine.
David Phelps went to Baylor University in Texas where he studied music. His teachers kept encouraging him to sing opera but he told them he wanted to use his voice to praise God. I have been to one of his concerts and he is amazing. Thanks for this video.
He is by far the best live vocalist I’ve ever heard. He was classically trained at Baylor University. He’s been doing this professionally I believe since 1998. So 20 years and still sounds as strong as ever. I’ve seen him live several times. His solo shows last 2+ hours and to sustain that range for an entire show with ease is the most incredible vocal skill I’ve ever witnessed.
Same. I last saw him in 2008, but I have saw him three times live. Every note was perfect and better than the recording. And to do it all night (and also tour). It's crazy. God wanted this man to "sang" and so it happened, and it happened perfectly.
He’s a gospel singer. Gospel is where my vocal career started, and it’s still my first love. I’ve been telling people for years that David is one of THE best male vocalists on the planet today! I enjoyed your reaction so much, because you “get it!” You know that you are hearing pure talent and pure genius, when a lot of people have no idea how amazing a gift like his really is.
Bingo. The man is a ball of talent and God inspired C5s. Few can hit the note but none like David. When I hit As or Bs, I want in the paper because it's rare, even when they sound like crap. :P
Wes Hampton who sang with David Phelps in the Gaither Vocal Band referred to David as an alien because his vocals were out of this world. There's not too many like him.
Rob S. Actually I think Wes called David an android. Nonetheless, David is the king of tenors and his vocals are absolutely amazing. In a class of his own.
David Phelps is anointed to sing the praises of the great I AM! My favorite singer ever!!!💕 He brings you to tears especially the message he brings to this lost world. I liked and appreciated your response. So glad you did this review. Just put his name into your search on RUclips and you'll find many, if not all of his performances. You will be blessed by the hearing of not only his voice but the message he brings. Also, where he has a full head of blonde curly hair, he is much younger. The older David has the shorter thinning hair, maybe his mid-forties? Also check out his performance of Nessus Dorma. Exquisite.
Met David a few months ago at one of his concerts. He blew me away. Also, up close his hair is not thinning but actually pretty thick and, of course, curly (one of his trademarks). He looks a lot different in person than on videos or pictures. A really handsome man.
I've been a David Phelps fan for 20 years. He's a humble family man and is amazingly gifted. He does a couple duets with his daughter Maggie on youtube. She is talented as well
Hes 49 I think. He is solo now, unless he includes his daughters. He traveled with the Gaither vocal band for several years. He has a farm in Tennessee on which he converted a barn into a theater (I believe mostly by himself) he is a renaissance man if there is one. He was formally trained and does classical numbers in his concerts. Word has it that he did do opera early on. The fascinating thing about his physical composition, is that he has the vocal cords of a baritone but the range of a tenor, and his oversized skull increases his resonance but his love for God takes him over the top.
David's God-given talent has been classically trained, and he could probably accumulate more wealth and fame in the field of opera (though I've never heard him sing anything other than praise music). He was born in 1969, and he has four children. Those who've met him in person say his heart is as big as his voice, and he's a humble man. I've heard his vocal range described as three octaves, but I swear it has to be more. Glad you enjoyed him, he's been around for decades!
He is definitely a Gospel singer and the best I have ever heard - I would place him as the best singer I have ever heard - he is amazing - and especially in concert 💖
The absolute best Tenor on the planet. Of course that is my opinion. It has been a pleasure listening to him for at least 15-20 years now. So, clean, smooth and a lot of control. As an audio engineer, he is a dream come true a big PA.
I've only found this living legend recently too, from channels focusing on vocals or technicals more, such as that fedsax channel. David Phelps is another example of talent doesn't equate fame, and vise versa. I think he's probably well known in the gospel scene though.
Yeah he's been hidden within the gospel community for many years now. A treasure many of us have enjoyed for a long, long time. Glad to have you on board the Phelps train!
I had never heard of him before... until I had the opportunity to hear him in concert nearly 11 years ago. The look on your face pretty much sums up my expression during the entire concert! Haha! IMO, he is even better today, and perhaps even better to see and hear in person. He frequently sings notes spontaneously higher than his albums in concert. David also seems to be the genuine article. He is not as famous because he chooses to represent Christ. No large media outlet would want to make him more known. We all know this (those who have followed him over the years).
David Phelps is one of the best singers you will ever hear. He went to Baylor Univ. and graduated in I think 1992. He sang for the Gaither Vocal Band from 1997-2005 and again 2009-2015. He finally went off on his own to become a solo artist. His sister Sherri sang backup for him, but passed away in 2012 of Cancer. His other sister Kari is a professional trumpeter who tours with the Miller Brass Ensemble. He is married, has 4 kids, has won 12 Dove awards, (I believe it is), and was a 4 time Grammy nominee. Amazing, Amazing voice. If you want to hear more of course just search his name, if you love harmony search Gaither Vocal Band.
He is a classically trained Lyric tenor (he majored in stage performance and vocal) and a southern gospel vocalist/musician. He was a part of the gather vocal band, now he is doing solo stuff and should be 48 by now.
We've been praising God with David Phelps for years nay decades now. You get goose bumps at his live concerts. Notice Russ Taff's reaction. It made him dance. You got to see many Gospel legends in those clips. Some who have gone on to be with Jesus.
He is a gospel singer and 49 years old. I had the pleasure of being at the first live concert he did with GVB and his notes brought tears to my eyes. Seriously, just watching this has given me chills and brought tears to my eyes. He's an amazing vocalist.
David Phelps in the most talented male vocalist I’ve ever heard! He is phenomenal in concert and has an mind boggling range. A voice gifted from God and amazing hard work and training on his part!
Isn't he amazing? The first time I heard him sing Essun Dorma I was literally transformed to a magnificent place and then I cried! He has been my favorite for years and continues to amaze and bless me!
Oh Holy Night, No more night, He’s alive, I’m coming home, Just as I am, and even The little drummer boy......... David’s way of singing is evidently the most beautiful singing and he is the best!!!!!
You need to watch “IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL” he sings the second verse it shows off his fully range and the people’s reactions to his voice are priceless in that video especially!💖
My first knowledge of him ......was his involvement with Bill Gaithers Gospel Group years back. He has cds with them as well as his own cds. Recently have seen videos of him in single concert rooms. He is wonderful and inspiring. Musically absolutely spectacular. So well trained and my favorite Song is. ." this is the end of the beginning."
It was so much fun to watch your reactions. Obviously the first time you have heard him sing? You did not know what you were missing. David Phelps is otherworldly and defies just about everything I've ever thought about the definition of a traditional tenor.
Hope you’re able to see David live one day soon. He will completely blow your mind! Best voice on the planet! He can tell a story through a song like no artist I’ve ever seen. Let me know if you would like me to send a few favorite songs.
Yeah he's been hidden within the gospel community for many years now. A treasure many of us have enjoyed for a long, long time. Thanks for the reaction. IT, was priceless.
Great reaction!!!! Keep them coming!!! When God created David...he set back on His throne...paused for a minute...looked at His Angel's and said..."That was a good one" 🙏
Ive seen David twice. The first was at a Gaither Christmas concert, and the second was on his farm at one of his "Barn Bash" in Culleoka TN. The man is amazing.
I have been listening to him since his early days in the vocal band. Seen him a few times in person. Got to go to the barn in June for his Hymnal taping. Fantastic!. My friend lives near culleoka tn around lima. Two people that go to his church work on Davids farm and for events.
He not only resonates those glorious notes, but he resonates his amazing love for his Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. That voice - along with all the Gaither Vocal Band singers' voices are all used to express worship. Their excellence is dedicated to Him and Him alone!
I had the opportunity to go to David's concert in Ohio and he will blow your mind. What a witness for God. I had my picture taken with him and have it on my refrigerator.
First time watching one of your videos. I fucking love David Phelps. He's the most talented make vocalist I've ever heard, and it's because of his incredible stability and resonance. Anyway, I loved your video! Immediately subscribed before it even finished!
Nephie, you are correct, he is a gospel singer. He was a part of Gaither Vocal Band singing Group and yep, He is a slayer. He resonates more than other FEMALE singers in this generation.
I do listen to the Gaither Vocal Band for hours.. I am so happy that you can hear David Phelps and know of his God given gifts.. I love watching your reaction and now he is about 50 ish years old.
Hi. I'm a vocal coach too. I started singing local songs.. then I tried harder songs like Steve Green, Petra, Journey, Survivor, Bon Jovi. then I moved up more scales and and sing Bruno Mars', David Phelps... all of his songs.. I match it up during my practice singing Steel heart's song "she's gone" I thank David Phelps for helping me developed my resonance and widen my range. I don't sing that much anymore but the memory of those techniques are just awakened when I hit those notes during practice.. those unbelievable notes! Thanks guys!
David Phelps is best known (as far as I know) for being the tenor in the Gaither Vocal Band from 1997-2005 and 2009-2017. As of 2017, the current Gaither Vocal Band lineup is: tenors: Reggie Smith and Wes Hampton. Lead: Aaron Crabb. Baritone: Todd Suttles. Bass: Bill Gaither. Phelps is still active and is either solo or in another vocal group.
Watching this in 2023. David is 53 now and better than ever. He still hits those high notes with ease. Greatest tenor/singer I have ever heard. He is a legend.
Ive been listening to david phelps since I was probably 16 or so hes absolutely amazing and the gaither vocal band is the best gospel quartet ever especially when they sing with Ernie Haase and signature sound and my favorite members are David Phelps, Guy Pinrod, Mark Lowery, Wes Hampton, Marshal Hall, Michael English.. Absolutely amazing I'm 34 by the way love singing to their songs
He turned 50 this past October. He is amazing. He has a Barn Bash every Labor Day weekend at his barn at his home and you can buy a ticket and see him in person. He's way better in person. The quartet he was singing with is the Gaither Vocal band. Best tenor out there. Drs at Vanderbilt hosp looked at his vocal cords and they were very unusual compared to the general public. Watch O Holy Night from Christmas in the country and These Are They in Israel!
Bill Gaither discovered David in the mid/late 90's. He was part of the Gaither Vocal Band from 1997-2005 and again from 2009-2017. Bill has gone on record saying that "David is the best tenor he has ever heard." That is a HUGE statement coming a man of Bill Gaither's stature in the gospel music industry.
I have a favorite concert of David's from Nov 2012 in which his vocals were absolutely brilliant. He was clean shaven and wearing a tuxedo (doesn't matter for his singing; I am just describing what he looked like, so you can look for the videos). He sang 'Ave Maria,' 'The Lord's Prayer,' 'Nessun Dorma,' and 'O Mio Babbino Caro' with really perfect control of his range and dynamics.
David Phelps is a Christian gospel singer, classically trained. Originally with the Gaither Vocal Band. Everyone in the so called choir are originally gospel singers who were with trios, quartets et cetera. Some of those backed up Elvis Presley. Watched those gospel groups on TV since I was a kid.
Susan Harper I am going as well I am going 11/23/18 I have been to all of his barn bash concerts until this year but am looking forward to Christmas at the barn. I know u will love it
David is now 50 and he still can hit the high notes but not as frequently, and many times he "slides" to get up there. No matter, he's still my all time favorite singer and that will never change! Thanks for your wonderful comments!

Yes he is a gospel singer. To be honest, he is the best there is.
I concur!
@where is my wall While Jotta is amazing for me the quality of David's notes throughout his range is just on another level. There's no wrong answer between the two because at the end of the day it's all about preference!
I agree!
PLEASE don't clap. It distracts from the music!
Absolutely agree
It's awesome to see Phelps get recognized by the rest of the world now. He's been our Gospel secret for decades!

From D6 onwards its whistle already
He rarely uses falsetto....its his natural voice ....thats why its so rich n why he has such excellent control....falsetto uses too much air to support it so long...n solid. Its all natural baby!!!
David is THE best male singer alive, and he deserves SO much more recognition than he has gotten.
This is what the infilling of the Holy Spirit will do...
Chrome24 you need to google Dimash
Chrome24 I fully agree! For people who try to compare him to other people using falsetto. That is crazy this man is the greatest Tenor alive! Massive sustain!
he never takes a bow, he never thanks the crowd - he only thanks our Heavenly Father for providing him with the gift of witnessing through song
Yes, I think he is one of the best singers alive. I love David Phelps, he deserves way more recognition.
Yeah, and he does it all for the glory of God in Christ Jesus. I've seen Mr Phelps live like, five times and had the pleasure of meeting him a couple times. He is the real deal. The most likeable, genuine Godly guy you could imagine.
Agreed, he sings with his daughters now too, they're also amazing, still young.
Amen❤

I've been a David Phelps fan for 20 years. He's a humble family man and is amazingly gifted. He does a couple duets with his daughter Maggie on youtube. She is talented as well
Have you heard him and Maggie sing, 'Water'? It gave my goosebumps goosebumps.
@@teresajohnson7727 I've watched it many times!😊

He has vocal folds of a tenor and a range of a tenor. And larger skull is not gonna increase the ring. It’s just not how the voice works.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
God is good...He gave him that talent

Great Music Dilettante Nephi, he is currently 48...we get to see him LIVE Sept. 16th! Spokane, WA.
WISH YOU WERE HERE!!
He IS super popular in the gospel arena. And he is ahhhhhhh-mazing
He has made 100s of millions of dollars doing gospel. So fame isnt everything on the world stage lol
Yeah he's been hidden within the gospel community for many years now. A treasure many of us have enjoyed for a long, long time. Glad to have you on board the Phelps train!
Just saying, if you love harmony, listen to more of the Gaither Vocal Band.
@jakebrittain YESSSS!! any of the homecoming friends have amazing harmony!
Yes, they are excellent!
Exactly!! They have amazing harmonies!!
The ones where he sings with the Gaither group, especially at the Homecoming ones are my favorite. He is truly a blessing and talented singer!
Yes!!!!!!!!
he and his daughters are now singing togther that sound great together

@@urowskiilive4701 It's called vibrato. It's a vocal technique you achieve by Twitching your vocal muscles at a faster-than-usual pace.
thats a divine voice if there ever was such a thing.. what a gift
David Phelps is the epitome of male vocal singing.
I listen to David Phelps every day. He’s anointed and the greatest gospel singer ever. The greatest singer, period.
We've been praising God with David Phelps for years nay decades now. You get goose bumps at his live concerts. Notice Russ Taff's reaction. It made him dance. You got to see many Gospel legends in those clips. Some who have gone on to be with Jesus.
The most agile, clear, talented male vocalist I’ve ever heard. He. Is. Just. Amazing. Always loved his voice!

David Phelps is a Gospel singer and the best ever!! David is now in the 50 age group and his voice is still going strong.
His voice Is Absolutely Amazing !!!! Ive seen him In concert and he gave me goosebumps !!!! I LOVE HIM !!!
The band he used to sing with is Gvb, the best gospel band you will ever find or hear.
Without disputing that, I think you will enjoy A Few Good Men singing No One Cares Like Jesus.
David Phelps is 49
Oh Holy Night, No more night, He’s alive, I’m coming home, Just as I am, and even The little drummer boy......... David’s way of singing is evidently the most beautiful singing and he is the best!!!!!

Effortless and perfection. Best singer God ever put together
It's soo much fun watching people discover David Phelps. Great video.
Hope you’re able to see David live one day soon. He will completely blow your mind! Best voice on the planet! He can tell a story through a song like no artist I’ve ever seen. Let me know if you would like me to send a few favorite songs.
Just saw this reaction Nephi. Glad you have found David Phelps. I have listened to him for years and of course The Gaither Vocal Band
BEST GOSPEL SINGER ON EARTH- LOVE HIM !!!!

Love your reaction! Yes, he is amazing!
Bill & Gloria Gaither O Holy Night [live] ft David Phelps is a great place to start with David Phelps. Absolutely beautiful.

I so enjoy watching reactions to hearing David Phelps voice. He is blessed.
That guy is incredible. I hope to one day be able to hit those notes in a full voice.
David is awesome and at a whole other level. What a gift.
My favorite reaction video to one of my favorite singers 👏
Phenomenal gospel singer! You’re reactions are priceless!!

Wow thanks Nephi for reacting to David phelps i love this group

Anyway, I loved your video! Immediately subscribed before it even finished!
I could listen to him all day long too. And I do because I’m a huge fan of David Phelps. Nice to see your reactions and love the clapping
Nephie, you are correct, he is a gospel singer. He was a part of Gaither Vocal Band singing Group and yep, He is a slayer. He resonates more than other FEMALE singers in this generation.
Nothing has been much better than watching your wide-eyed flabbergastedness at his sound!
I enjoyed watching you enjoy watching him sing. He has the best voice I have ever heard. I hope you listened to more of his songs.
I do listen to the Gaither Vocal Band for hours.. I am so happy that you can hear David Phelps and know of his God given gifts.. I love watching your reaction and now he is about 50 ish years old.
I've watched that video a hundred times, so watching this made me smile so hard
Your Facial expressions is classic...

Keep up the good videos Nephi...

David Phelps is best known (as far as I know) for being the tenor in the Gaither Vocal Band from 1997-2005 and 2009-2017. As of 2017, the current Gaither Vocal Band lineup is: tenors: Reggie Smith and Wes Hampton. Lead: Aaron Crabb. Baritone: Todd Suttles. Bass: Bill Gaither. Phelps is still active and is either solo or in another vocal group.
Watching this in 2023. David is 53 now and better than ever. He still hits those high notes with ease. Greatest tenor/singer I have ever heard. He is a legend.
David Phelps will forever be my number one ☝️ in the whole world ❤️
Ive been listening to david phelps since I was probably 16 or so hes absolutely amazing and the gaither vocal band is the best gospel quartet ever especially when they sing with Ernie Haase and signature sound and my favorite members are David Phelps, Guy Pinrod, Mark Lowery, Wes Hampton, Marshal Hall, Michael English.. Absolutely amazing I'm 34 by the way love singing to their songs
DON'T FORGET LARNELL HARRIS!!
He turned 50 this past October. He is amazing. He has a Barn Bash every Labor Day weekend at his barn at his home and you can buy a ticket and see him in person. He's way better in person. The quartet he was singing with is the Gaither Vocal band.
Best tenor out there. Drs at Vanderbilt hosp looked at his vocal cords and they were very unusual compared to the general public.
Watch O Holy Night from Christmas in the country and These Are They in Israel!
Bill Gaither discovered David in the mid/late 90's. He was part of the Gaither Vocal Band from 1997-2005 and again from 2009-2017. Bill has gone on record saying that "David is the best tenor he has ever heard." That is a HUGE statement coming a man of Bill Gaither's stature in the gospel music industry.
I have a favorite concert of David's from Nov 2012 in which his vocals were absolutely brilliant. He was clean shaven and wearing a tuxedo (doesn't matter for his singing; I am just describing what he looked like, so you can look for the videos). He sang 'Ave Maria,' 'The Lord's Prayer,' 'Nessun Dorma,' and 'O Mio Babbino Caro' with really perfect control of his range and dynamics.
He is a Legend. God gifted voice!
Your facial expressions are hilarious. I'm glad I subscribed to you. He's one of the best male singers, or singers period, that I have ever heard.
We shall behold him is one of his best song for me...
David Phelps is the best, and so are the Gaither's thanks for posting :-)
He is so good, he makes you cry!!
Yes, Gospel. It's called anointing.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
David Phelps sings Nessun Dorma will blow you away!
Absolutely amazing
David Phelps is a Christian gospel singer, classically trained. Originally with the Gaither Vocal Band. Everyone in the so called choir are originally gospel singers who were with trios, quartets et cetera. Some of those backed up Elvis Presley. Watched those gospel groups on TV since I was a kid.
Hes my favorite and just saw him last week in Lancaster pa
David Phelps is my favorite has been for years Praise the Lord
hes is the most fav gospel singger in the world. even here in malaysia. we sing his song in church... ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Yes some of the best singers you will ever hear sing gospel/Christian music. When god gives you a gift and you use it to glorify him he will bless it.
The Very best Male vocalist Period!!!
He still sings. I'm going to his Christmas concert in December. He is amazing!!!
Susan Harper I am going as well I am going 11/23/18 I have been to all of his barn bash concerts until this year but am looking forward to Christmas at the barn. I know u will love it
I saw him in February in Jacksonville FL simply awe inspiring
David is now 50 and he still can hit the high notes but not as frequently, and many times he "slides" to get up there. No matter, he's still my all time favorite singer and that will never change! Thanks for your wonderful comments!
There’s none like him. Best singer
The interesting thing is that he is one of the most humble performers I have ever seen and gives God the glory in all he does - amazing gift 💖
The absolute best voice on Earth... absolutely God-Given... insane!
