Most people loose their voice as they get older. This guy hasn't lost anything. Very Good! Best Wishes. Good Luck..

[@truth_hunter]

Probably because he sings regularly.

[@rolodarknet]

Much like Tom Jones. Still got the power and the range. You might have noticed that U2 play down a key or so these days. This guys a champion. Humble too.

[@davidmurphy44747]

What a strange things to say. SOME people loose their voice...

[@truth_hunter]

@ maybe, they mean when a person gets older they lose some of their voice range. Usually, that means they cannot hit the higher notes like they used to.

[@suzannehansen7519]

Tom Jones, you're the best!!! Or should I say, Matt Dodd, you're the best!!! Fantastic voice!

[@danielmorrissey5118]
