I felt goosebumps from beginning to end. Time to retire dax ❤

Would love to see your reaction to SilverChair & Daniel Johns ❤

The TEN seconds from 3:53 to 4:03 is sung WITHOUT A BREATH. Listen to it again. From the time he begins to sing the word "Dream..." until he finishes "Long Ago..." is just one continuous run... I get goosebumps every time I hear it...

You missed the joke at 10.04.. Reporter - "I remember the launching of Frank Sinatra, Johnny Ray and Elvis Presley.." Paul - "Great ships.."

I so agree with you 100%

Great reaction to a classic. This song reminds me of my home country Wales. I recently saw Tom in Chepstow and he still sounds unbelievable!

We come and hit his woman anytime. I hit it that way

Hello, do you have french roots, dear author?

Her voice is hauntingly beautiful! Raw, pure, authentic, from the ❤. Perfection!🙏

I heard Jennifer’s performance, voice, video, years ago, and then just now, … could it be Jennifer is one of the greatest artists in modern history ? That’s sounds a bit much but what other performance quality of artistry song writing can I remember equal to this ? Maybe David Gilmore, bochelli, Led Zeppelin at their best, only something on that level can compare, not to mention Jennifer seems to be an Angel, hmm I simply cannot imagine any song performance more magnificent than…. Thank you Jennifer ….j

One of my favoritesongs ever. His voice is so smooth.

I completely agree with you on this. It came across as forced, heavy and overdone, which means it wasn't at all natural for her. Someone can post a list of all of the traits her voice is known for, but a beautiful and unique voice doesn't always mean she's going to elevate a song to something it's not. I think she relies too much on the raspy qualities of her voice. We all love Grace, right, and she's uniquely beautiful and mesmerizing. But this wasn't a stellar performance.

This medley was done with a guy named Jim Wilkas, who added some of the harmony t racks and played a number of the instruments as well as helping to put the video together. The original video was a split screen with Jim on the left hand side. There was no problem synching the video and voice. I don't know why this version of the video exists along with the other one. Jim and Tori have done a few other collaborations that are worth watching. They are both very talented. Watching Tori only makes you want to hear more.

I was looking for reactions to this song and ran across yours. Very complete and insightful. Looking over your videos, I think I'll be watching more as time permits. I've culled my subscriptions to a lot of my music reaction channels, but your channel may be worth keeping. My compliments to you on this one.

First comment in 2025 Janifer Rush is winner 🏆

Dax, i could see you and those pretty ladies walking down the street just strutting and laughing,all them kissing you.

Song could have been a little longer? This could have been better.

I use to play the record on the jukebox while cleaning the hotel lounge, for the next crowd of guests.

This song makes me so emotional. It fits how my life has been so much and I feel that I'm running out of time

Love your observant and intelligent reaction! Yes the song is reverential and spiritual and draws one in from the first word.

IMHO this is the best performance of Grace has delivered. Emotional and assured.

One of the greatest groups of the sixties 😮 what a sound

One of the greatest groups of the sixties 😮

His young voice is for me the most beautiful voice that existed. Only Whitney's matches.

What a talent!! Rest in Eternal Peace Michael 💔💔💔

I hear you! Petula Clark + Tony Hatch productions = PRICELESS! I Know A Place is a gem right up there with Downtown.

Bonne et heureuse année 2025. Sa voix a changé et elle doit s'adapter et elle fait de son mieux. Aretha Franklin a aussi vu sa voix changer au cours du temps. Mais on pouvait s'attendre que ce soit pour Grace, plus délicat, en espérant que cela ne s'aggrave pas. Voir sa voix actuelle dans "Grace VanderWaal parle de son béguin pour une célébrité"

One of the greatest performances of this song ever is from The Dance 1997 special. It’s so raw and energised- the first time they’d all sung together in years and Stevie goes absolutely berserk on the chorus. Truly magical.

You haven’t liked anything she has done in a long time. That was an incredible performance.

How could you possible missed this song with her before. I just want to scream out loud every time someone think this is a Celine Dion song.

DEAN MARTIN

Wonder how many minutes it took Ray to write the lyrics….🤔 Seriously, tho, one of my all time favorite groups, picked up this record when it first came out on their first album. I was 14 or 15 at the time. They lost me from the 70s, tho, when they went over bored for all that theatrical nonsense 😖

One of my very favorites of his 👌

What are you talking about? This song & the group was released in 1962. The girl grip thing began 2 years earlier with The Shirelles & The Marvelettes ✅

I see this was 3 years ago, with no other Lara Nyro videos since. Just curious, did you ever take your discovery of her further in your off video life, or did it stop there?

Do yourself a huge favor by listening to the entire album this song came from, Eli & The 13th. Confession 👌

She was famous, within the limited circle who knew of her at the time, for her unique, previously unheard of time changes within a song.

~ Nearly everyone who covered her songs for a hit copied her arrangements as well, which were part & parcel to her compositions…. and yes, she did all of the singing & arranging of the background vocals as well ✅

Nobody who had hits with her music came close to her original renditions, including this relatively lame cover ❌

I've watched Grace as much as any mega-fan, this performance (and I've analysed it many times, is up there with the highlight of her career so far, absolutely! - If you don't think so, your opinion. But otherwise, get out of my lobby dude, you're off the rails... This is absolutely phenomenal.

Great video, Dax. All my musician friends idolise Ray, and consider the "Ray Price Shuffle" to be the epitome of Country shuffle dance music. He was a singer's singer. One of my faves!

Your reaction is spot on. She made it a work of art...beautiliful!!!! And im not leaving out the others. Each had a special spot that only all together was amazing.

I cry everytime I watch this. I was born in 69 so I grew up on them and this is so poignant 😢❤❤

Timeless, He is on another level.

I thought this song couldn't get any better but you adding your 2 cents all through this masterpiece prove me wrong

❤❤❤ I played and played her all the time, I so enjoyed her music

I agree with you Dax but unfortunately I can't explain it any better than you. i reckon the album will explain. Something to look forward to next year

Yep, you're gonna get destroyed by Grace Vanderwaal fans, as well you should. If you can watch this video and say she is not putting her heart and soul into this performance, well then, you deserve to get annihilated. Dude, Grace isn't 12 years old anymore, she has grown and here she is showcasing her maturity. Sorry, that's just reality.

this song as many of their others, just completely breaks my heart. i was 23 when this came out in '78.
