Darrel is one of my favorite male singers EVER!!!!

[@joannapilgrim]

This man, Darrel Walls, is a vocal Beast! I thoroughly admire the Holy Ghost anointing in his voice and The Lord Jesus in his heart. He can almost do no wrong singing. This was one of thee BEST renditions of any song I've herd him sing. I had to stop myself from putting this on repeat cuz is just too good!!!

[@powerofcare_]

He is an amazing singer … and also THIS BAND IS KILLIN

[@joannapilgrim]

Right?!

[@CliftonGio]

God, this is my first hearing this song. His Head and Mix voice is just mesmerizing

[@aaronnewman7573]

it’s that ear for me!

[@cejII]

Definitely Stevie Wonder and feel like Fred Hammond both use their head tilted upward to effect their tone

[@tiffanyblack6911]

Trust! When P.J. hears you sing... He will want you upfront... ON PERIOT💯💕💕💕

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I receive that!

[@myronmayberry8037]

The "Pull" that you are referencing was mastered by the late, great Al Jarreau. Another great review!

[@aaronnewman7573]

YEAH DARREL!!!!! been waiting for this guy, probably my favorite male vocalist rn. from a young singer’s perspective, he is to our generation what brandy was to the last. we really study this dude, he’s the only reason i understand music theory the way i do. i put him right up there w jazmine, and even kim also, totally agree w the pj musical. and yes, u should be in it

[@TheSessionx]

Thank you so much for posting this and doing an analysis of Darrels Vocals, the band appreaciated the shout out too, The really do be killing it. Thanks for tapping in 🙏🏾

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Yessir! Love your videos! Always gonna show love.

[@queenemeraldgreen6253]

I Absofreakinlutely Second That Emotion... !!!!!, PJ's Penmanship Is Amazing & His Songs Have A Way Of Making Your Heart Smile..., You Feel It Wayyy Down In Soul, Bless The Lord O' My Soul..., & All That Is Within Me....!!!!

[@blueviolets2106]

This song is so beautifully written. Darrel killed this cover

[@mailee32]

This is a masterclass on Darrel Walls' voice. I'm so excited to hear Jaron's analysis!

[@doranmatthews4802]

I agree with several commenters who hear a lot of Stevie Wonder in Darrel's vocal styling. I would only add that, IMHO, his sound also is heavily influenced by Kim Burrell, a unique Gospel stylist based in Houston (like Mr. Walls). To me, Darrel is the musical "love child" of Stevie and Kim. If you know, you know!

[@ecatheatre86]

C'mon somebody. Fully agreed. This is Kim Burrell technique ALL OVER THE PLACE. And of course The Walls and Ms. Kim Burrell are so very close in so many ways. The Walls, Momma Walls, minister of music, taught all of dem kids, especially Darrel Walls, the eldest, to study the gospel greats. And Houston has some insane in the membrane, freaks of musical nature just walking around, lol. So in closing, yes, yes, yes, I felt Kim Burrell, freak of musical nature ALL up in through Darrell's interpretation.

[@doranmatthews4802]

Coming back and listening for the 10th time... I realized that this kind of ballad is perfect for Darrel's vocal style. Though he typically sings gospel, I think this soft, slow, emotional R&B/Soul track gives him a chance to show his vocal prowess... I would love to hear him tackle a Donnie Hathaway or a Dionne Warwick type melody. And Jaron thanks for mentioning the band. That catches my ear every time I listen to this video. (jBTW...Tyrone Bell on keys is the Walls Group's MD. He's a keyboard genius!)

[@tajicazembe3874]

Wait,,, a PJ musical…I would LOVE that!

[@northnodeguidance4580]

Yummmmmmmy. Why don't they put this type of music on the radio it's so much more mellow, beautiful, calm and graceful

[@tece30]

I stand in agreement with you being in a PJ Morton musical 🎼 as a Lead!!!!

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Well I receive it!

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

The voice vocal styling changes when well trained. Breathing airy controls are identifiably when skills are honed. DARRELL can sing. TILTING manipulations are a technical skill.

[@loriblunt2144]

Thank you P.J.for writing this song.

[@johnlovestosing04]

I literally had the same thought a couple of days ago as I was listening to PJ and the way he approaches melody and composition- that a whole musical could be written using his music alone.

[@datscnote]

Darrelle skills....are not to be played with!! Your breakdoan...Impeccable! Your skills are fly, as well!!! Appreciate you! God bless!

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I appreciate that!

[@datscnote]

@@jmlegrairstudio ur 🙏 welcome

[@goldenlyfe30]

I now NEED a PJ written musical. Oh, yes indeed.

[@Plantanos23]

Darrel Walls is a gem. Truly one of a kind. It must be in the name because Daryl Coley is also my other fav!!!

[@lexgraham2118]

DARREL IS ONE THE BEST MALE SINGER SONG WRITERS OUT RIGHT NOW. HE BEEN SINGING LIKE THIS FOR YRS.

[@taflem3]

He sang this. I can't even listen to the PJ version without listening to this one as well

[@gregmula9933]

Jason, YOU have an amazing voice brother. I'm loving this version of 1st Began by Darrel 💯 whew!

[@gregmula9933]

Jaron-my mistake!

[@jerrislawrence2555]

I stumbled on the original video (because I love PJ...and the KZbin algorithms). I love this channel and your authenticity

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Thank you!

[@MajinxDrolta]

Can you react to his sister if you haven’t already? Ahjah lower tone is so lovely

[@tierrasanea9560]

You do the exact same run as the artist and got the nerve to say "however they did it" Stop playing with our emotions.😂😂 You have an amazing voice. And Darrel Walls is one of my favorite male vocalists. Him and Music Soulchild. 💙😌💜

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Hahaha I appreciate you!

[@RiRiTheGr8test]

Jaron, your facial expressions while watching him sing is literally ALL of as we watch Mr. Walls sing as well. Just absolutely ridiculous with his gift! I love your reviews Jaron. Please don’t keep us waiting so long next time 🥰

[@jmlegrairstudio]

It was fun to watch! And I promise I won't be gone that long again!

[@onicafoster6480]

I love your videos and Darrel Walls is a MONSTER!!!!!

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Thank you!

[@breannab7112]

I always love your videos! Can you please analyze Jamie Foxx's "Brady Bunch" from his stand up "I Might Need Security?" That would be so much fun for you and for us!

[@CourtneyEmon]

Imagine PJ writing a musical!!!! Omg. I love your mind! Love your videos!! 🫶🏾💗

[@iamliloubloom9062]

When you lean into a video...whewwwww that's when I know it hits you right in your music core! 😊😊😊😊. Now I want to see him perform this with PJ, if he hasn't yet 😁

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Listen! You right! Haha.

[@igabistarr]

This is one my fav love songs… I have it on a playlist I listen to daily!… I enjoyed his rendition ❤

[@CGMDeepRee]

I’m so tickled at the faces! Yesssss(that’s what I’m screaming at the screen)! I’m the one in the audience encouraging always!

[@StopGodIs]

I love the way you analyze music and you’re such a phenomenal singers 🎉🎉

[@andreabloch262]

Cross between Stevie Wonder and Nathan Morris from Boyz II Men. Very, very well done. Side note: LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, JARON!

[@MJ1920_6]

Yes!!! I love how you respond bodily at the ridiculous licks. Same. He gives a little Dawkins and Dawkins influence to me. That piano tho!

[@Eastpointe]

You’re can hear a lot of Steve Wonder vocal influence in Wall’s style

[@toughtopics9895]

Sooooo enjoyed your review. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I love Darrell Walls. He’s an exceptional talent❣️

[@jashawnross-vanderbilt8803]

Darrell is a beast in vocals. Love that guy singing❤

[@LoveU1st]

Sounds like a Stevie Wonder song vocally, musically, and rhythmically! Amazing!

[@TheArtist_DavidLance]

Yeesss Darryl and Tim be wearing me out with their runs and their timbre is beautiful and Jazmine Sullivan definitely came to mind for me too!!!! That effortless runs and vocal fry that be coming through is everything for my ears. The scales! So gospel! Great choice and analysis!

[@ob2638]

I know I am a year late with this comment but I agree 1 billion percent about PJ Morton’s “Gospel According to PJ”-outrageously good recording and I absolutely agree that PJ should write a musical. Darrel Walls did a great job with this cover. And you did a phenomenal job analyzing it!

[@Zec226]

You know your craft and articulate it soo well..love it!!!

[@BigMe46]

I love your break down of this beautiful art! Keeping going 🔥🔥

[@Graye0890]

Darrell THE walls is so intentional with his gift its sickening

[@joannapilgrim]

YES!!

[@ecatheatre86]

This was church. This young man. This young buck. This dude, he be BRINGING it, so it's gonna be BRUNK, okay? And to D-E-L-I-V-E-R with such efficiency of technique when you actually see what's he's doing. The precision of execution; engaging us but also thrilling us with the unexpected twist of all those vocal skills you outlined. He fiyuh, lol. And I'm happy as Krispy Kreme donuts half off sale Wednesdays that P.J. has elevated him on several projects so that the secular world can give him a gander. I'd adore a P.J. Morton musical too and on Broadway if I was thinking purely for selfish reasons, lol. But I'd probably opt for longevity or prosperity and COINS, lol, aka intellectual property rights for P.J. , that it be filmed live, like The Wiz for NBC/ Universal. You know capturing magic in a bottle. And yes, YOU NEED to be all up in that gig, as the kids say.

[@gailarmstrong8702]

Love this voice analysis/blind reaction! Darryl Wall singing PJ Morton...I love it!!

[@christinnna355]

One of my favorite videos on The Session!!!! Have rewatched it so many times, wish I could get it on Apple Music 😬

[@TraQuise]

He does a similar "pull" that Stevie Wonder does. In some of his songs, I hear the Stevie influence. Daryl is just unmatched, and so is the Walls group as a whole.

[@cherylmack3067]

Will you do an analysis of Zacardi Cortez new "Anything" with Pastor Kim Burrell? This one made me sit down...

[@e_in_a_corvette]

Bro please keep doing these. I find things in my vocal from each of your analysis

Darrell really be singing DOWNNN‼️YOU HERE MEE🥶‼️and Jaron gone sing the run AND THEN add some more😂‼️YOU NOT SLICK SIRRRRR💙‼️

[@cejII]

I feel like DW does too much, but this right here is great. His choices are spectacular. Do you think PJ and the other musicians arrranged around DW or the other way around? This made happy like when Jasmine Sullivan sings

[@monicarenee7949]

DW arranged around the original that PJ made/sang. Not sure if you have heard the original, but this one does a lot of harmony with the original song while adding additional runs. His ear for music is crazy!
