Brian Stokes Mitchell "The Man I Love" from Strike Up the Band

[@ApplyUrBrain]

This is my third male rendition of that song. He nailed it. I think he understood the depth of emotion felt by many at that performance.

[@amayajones68]

His singing was incredible, and him playing the melodica is the icing on the cake. I got teary eyed watching this.

[@bcefa]

+Amaya Jones We agree, Amaya - what a wonderful treat.

[@alextegrado3465]

when you're just 15 but you love this kind of music. This is so gooood that it's satisfying to hear.

[@ThorInValhalla]

That was beautiful. Thank you. I have heard that song over and over so many times (as a youngling, I had Donna Summer on 'repeat' for hours) I never thought I could hear it again. But you made it fresh and new and brought me to tears once more. Thank you Brian Stokes Mitchell.

[@Leftatalbuquerque]

That Donna Summer 30's medley is incredible - I love how she handled the Sophie Tucker "Some of These Days". Have you seen the footage from her 1980 TV special of it?

[@tricky1701]

THAT VOICE! Thank you God for that voice!

[@bcefa]

+Adrian Smith Thanks for watching Adrian!

[@robertcarter3768]

This has always felt like my theme song but now to hear it sung by a man and so beautifully it gives me goosebumps and tears!!!!

Back in the 197O's and 198O's when I was young and talented... I refused to lie for the money... or for a career... therefore I paid a price far above rubies... but I have never regretted it... so glad to see that folks are finally willing to come out of their professional closets... as it is about time... and you are more than welcome that I and my generation's honesty and courage made your current "out and proud" lives... and careers... possible in the first place.

[@gazebo46]

Holy shit! I got chills just watching this! Beautiful!

[@bcefa]

gazebo46 Stokes is an incredible performer. We loved having him at Broadway Backwards!

[@yversorrod1529]

Pure beauty, really breathtaking interpretation!!!... I loved it!

[@MrCrowebobby]

Damn! Glad I didn't die before hearing that.

[@artistphx]

Haven't been with mine for over thirty years but still wish him well wherever he is.

[@edwardjames50]

+artistphx Me too. I haven't seen mine in ten.

[@tumulovermelho93]

Still waiting for mine. 26 years old, never had a boyfriend. I was raped at 20, it's been hard recovering and finding someone with the patience to see the recovery through.

[@artistphx]

@@tumulovermelho93 I had the same thing happen. Don't give up. Take the time to really get to know your self and the wonderful things that what you are really all about. You may think they aren't there but trust me they will be when you find them

[@taylorslife7969]

He has the most beautiful voice I've ever seen.

[@romuloneri4975]

Great singing. Only he can get away with that song.

[@mikeyirish1967]

This might be one of my favorite BSM vocal performances of all time.

[@LakewoodDallas]

Such a talented man. I met him once and he was very nice and jovial.

[@gucciboy1952]

incomparable sublime j adore

[@trent8002003]

The song always makes me cry.....

[@3ddriver]

I don‘t think I have ever heard anyone sing that song has well as he did. Life is a broad canvas .

[@truthbetoldagain]

Brian Stokes Mitchell here shall be re - uniting with the lovely Audra McDonald to revive the great Eubie Blake's 1921 Broadway musical smash, " Shuffle Along !" It will be at The Music Box Theatre; and tickets are so hard to get, though I was fortunate to snag two for April, when the weather in New York City is spectacular !

Melodica, made by Horner.

[@DarrinNewhardt]

Paul Fannin thanks. I'm gonna get one! Do you play?

[@paulmfannin]

I have played one before. Dont own one...yet.

[@GeorgeTSLC]

Wikipedia tells me his wife is also an actor, so I suppose she doesn't mind his being so convincing in THIS part!

[@JoeHarkinsHimself]

she's a laid back and intelligent woman. I have no doubts she had fun with what he did.

[@soonerboy9831]

Oh dear.
