Proud to say I sang with them once upon a time! ❤

My favorite part of every video with Eric in it, is the ENTIRE bass section is ONE man. So great!!!!

[pleasantdonovan]

I had a chance to have a master class with them and get tickets to see them live with my high school! amazing

Like the Hi-Lo's! and Singers Unlimited, these guys are the end of how good a cappella singing can be. It ain't sparkling outfits and dance routines. It's absolutely perfect pitch centers, control, range, power, and sheer force of will. This is as good as it gets.

Most favorite arrangement, watched it 1000 times and it never gets over.

I listened to this recording a few times a couple months ago. I've listened to many other Chanticleer recordings by this time and have heard (what I'm assuming) is the full range that many of these countertenors can sing. I thought it was really cool to come back and listen to this recording again and hear some of the countertenors sing in their normal tenor/baritone ranges (like the solo at 2:50) and then switch later on to the line of music that would typically be sung by a female. It's awesome to experience the full range of many of these great men. May their voices live on forever in their beautiful singing.

Hands down, THE BEST ACCAPELA group ever. The contralto is out of this WORLD! :D

[davidsambora]

A LIVE Chanticleer performance is LIFE - CHANGING

[axguitar]

[DbAddSeb]

Dear lord the bass. Eric never fails to impress.

[linachokrane]

Vince Peterson is my choir teacher lol !

[PrimaryInt]

Bloody hell - they are amazingly good - Paul Canedo - I agree about the little coda, I wondered how they were going to end it and that was just perfect .
Cheers from Sydenham

[freepotatoez]

Never heard the word "tears" delivered so beautifully

[lildeanturbonc]

Probably the first time this song has given me the chills !

[deepeachpeach]

The emotions they show while singing are part of what captivates me this is my favorite version ever

[chelamae]

A humble reminder: this was recorded in real time, one location, mixed expertly, but sung LIVE. Let's not forget the texture of voices blending in real time!! This is moving on SO MANY levels. (Moment 3:17-:20 was exquisite!!!)

[abbygalehorvath]

This is so beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes tbh.

[karmanleung]

Oh my! This is so good! You guys are so amazing!! Just beautiful!!
