David is a very humble guy too, truly believes that his vocal skills are a gift from God, and he never says thank you after a performance, it's always a simple "amen" he says because he doesn't think he deserves the praise for it personally.

BRO, THANK YOU SIR! For reacting to my request! David Phelps has a very special gift, not only in the interpretation of his musical choices, but the conviction he brings to make songs come alive! Please note this was filmed and sung "Live", usually a remarkably difficult task to overcome successfully. Plus it helps that David has "Perfect Pitch", a special gift given at birth. Perhaps you may consider reacting to David's cover of Whitney Houston's legendary "I Have Nothing"? David is able to sing this song in the same key as Whitney Houston's. THANK YOU again, and I'll always be a fan and follower of your Channel!

Even after 23 years, this live performance of the song is still considered the greatest version by almost everyone that is reacting to it for the first time. His songs wether solo, duet, Gaither Vocal Band that consisted of 4 to 6 voices or with the whole chorus is still outstanding 23 years later. He also has his own group he records with, and he converted his Barn into a Performance Center. Most people are shocked as to why they never heard of this man before. It's mostly because he dedicates most of his time to Contemporary Christian Music. But he does do Classical, Pop and a little Operatic pieces. Try his cover of Witney Houston's "I HAVE NOTHING" and the Righteous Brother's " UNCHAINED MELODY". Then go back and do his many Christian Songs like "WE SHALL BEHOLD HIM", by Dottie Rambo, "THE END OF THE BEGINNING", "FLY AGAIN" that he wrote and arranged and "HELLO BEAUTIFUL". The list goes on and on. A couple versions of the "Star SPANGLED Banner", one with the Vocal Band and another with his own group, with a twist that he arranged on the second verse with the sound of a Led Zeppelin song as back-up ! (Really Clever)

The man behind David (near the end of the song) wearing a black coat & red shirt, is Mark Lowry. He wrote an amazing poem called "Mary Did You Know" & asked Buddy Green if he could write music to it. And, boy, did he. I think you'd really enjoy reacting to Mark singing his masterpiece. Would love for you to react to "Mark Lowry, Guy Penrod, David Phelps - Mary Did You Know? [Live]".

I've seen him hold a note for like 18 or 19 seconds before. He's Alive is an Easter song, and he literally makes me gasp for air. The pianist is the late Anthony Burger and is magnificent. He sings Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing which is excellent. I read somewhere that Whitney said he was the best male voice she had ever heard. I have recommended this to several reactors and your the second I've seen this season. I'm happy to see his exposure. David Phelps is a gospel artist and had devoted his voice in praising God. No More Night, End of the Beginning, and Let Freedom Ring are a few of his more popular performances. No video, but he had an album many years ago titled Joy Joy and had a spectacular rendition of Do You Hear What I Hear and Birthday of the King/Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Check him out some more. I promise he NEVER DISAPPOINTS
