One of the greatest vocals of all time. Long live Steve Perry

[austinrodarte]

Looking for any Steve Perry fans out there! Who else clicked on this video just to hear this guy praise and give great recognition for Steve Perry's voice!?

[TheBookRefuge]

I always love how matter of fact you are! I was sick. Now I have returned. on to the reaction. hahaha!

[amethystsamia]

He sings effortlessly. Doesn’t matter how much tension appears to be be anywhere, he does it effortlessly, and beautifully. Total magic.

I didn't realize I was able to miss someone's videos so much 💔
Glad you're back!!

[LauraMaliszewska]

Thank you for picking an older song! I would love to see more of nostalgic sounds on your channel, like from the 90s and all the way back to the beginnings of modern music <3

All of your videos are informative but I have to say my favorite ones are where you are watching a performer/song you know and it's clear you are enjoying the performance

[choycewellington]

Perry is the most rare, one-a-kind pro singer, under live performance pressure, to EVER grace the stage!

[saraa]

What a pleasant surprise, waking up to a much anticipated video, from our fave voice teacher. Don't leave us for so long, we missed you!

THEY DONT CALL STEVE PERRY THE VOICE FOR NOTHING. If u were impressed by this u should watch him perform mother father at this same concert its phenominal.

[Darth.Fluffy]

I saw this album's tour. These guys were SERIOUS pros. Best live performance I ever saw.

[Xillaw]

I remember an old interview with Mariah Carey she said Steve was her favorite male singer of all time.

[Metla]

Thumbs up, Just because you're back.

[ryancaughron]

You and that water bottle crack me up. It makes a cameo in every episode! Love the channel.

[GenieY]

Sam, can you react to the Queen Live Aid performance? It is considered one of the best in musical history and Freddie was ill that day, so I'm wondering what you would say from the vocal perspective of things?

[anthonydemers]

Just to let you know Steve has never had any vocal coaching or training. I’ve known him for over 55 years. He is totally self taught. God given talent.

[lucifermeowstar]

I would never worry about offending anyone whether you are talking about pop music or anything. You are definitely the nicest person on all of YouTube. I’ve never seen a nicer more professional youtuber you clearly come from a very Respectful family.

I honestly thought you only did videos for amateurs now seeing this. I’d love to hear your thoughts on Marilyn Manson’s singing, clearly an unpopular option but I’ve loved and respected the guy since the early 90s.

[TheBluekulele]

I absolutely adore your videos, Sam. Thank you for being such a positive force in the singing world.

[BlogWhatTheFruitcake]

Not sure which makes me happier. Having Sam back with a new video, or watching him enjoy the music so much :D I was smiling all the way through this!

Steve is my all time favourite rock singer, no one, in my opinion, did live better right here. He was absolutely magical and sounded better live, to me. Also one of the most humble and nice celebrities around. Thank you for doing this one.
