This man was put on this planet just to sing this! No one could ever do this!

[@sandlot40]

Geez he’s singing amazing falsetto even at 70 years old. 😮

[@richierolex243]

When singers were singers! Pure talent

[@allanfuller8144]

I FIRST HEARD THIS SONG WHEN I WAS 17 , NOW IAM 70 IT IS SO SPECIAL ! WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE ?

[@amm3122]

What a voice! Omg! Congrats on being married 50 years Mr. Holman!

[@therepublicofspeed7513]

Good lord he can still hit those high notes 47 years on, just pristine.

[@cocoaorange1]

That is cool, he took care of his voice.

[@AndySmith-lq2di]

How many artists sound this good 47 years on at a guess not many if any fantastic,

[@R.G.777.]

So true Andy, he's almost 70 here and his voice is just as good as it was in his prime......thinking about it did his prime even end

[@rhondab3871]

@@R.G.777. My favorite song in the 9th grade lol. Still listening and still a favorite!

[@reneerobinson3215]

Now this is a professional performer all day! Real deal

[@ogspermcell]

Smokey Robinson is the only other singer i can think of most singers unfortunately lose their voice as they age.

[@williamdavidson4922]

Clean living guy, is probably the reason what a tune, What singer All time classic

[@alfrazier8389]

He did what he came to do. A note that he sung in 1968 is still ringing bells in 2021.

[@PromoVoice]

Phenomenal. I saw Eddie live about 10 years ago and was blown away. To see him still nailing every single note in 2016 is mind boggling. God bless him.

[@sandlot40]

He’s amazing ain’t he?!

[@JeffMcNeal]

@@sandlot40 He is. The laws of physics and aging say he shouldn't be able to still do this, yet, here he was, defying nature's natural order of things. I'm still stunned with great respect and admiration.

[@marbananta]

God had given amazing talent to this man. This man thanks Him by giving his life to Him.

[@vincentberte7675]

Very Cool

[@leanidis300]

Eddie still has the chops , he must be living the good life , so cool!

[@franklyterrence4860]

The Man has taken care of his gift and his life!

[@marilyn48ful]

Love this song used to cry to this when I was a lonely teenager.

[@MrRealtorJim]

He still WOWS us with that voice!!

[@henryweaver667]

Eddie says thank you JESUS. My man.😇

[@user-xg6gp7qq2v]

I remember this song like it was yesterday, class and stellar performance. And 2024 June no artists can compare to this era!!❤❤❤❤😅

[@beekinder6953]

Wow! Eddie's voice has certainly stood the test of time! Sounds just like when I first heard it in '73 or '74!

[@cocoaorange1]

You can say that again.

[@joecaroselli5858]

Three things that I noticed that just make me respect this gifted man so much. First, there was a slight miscue from the band on the intro, and yet Eddie just sang right over it and landed on his feet, and kept the song moving smoothly. Second, his intonation is just absolutely SUPERSONIC, and third, he gives all of the glory of his performance to Jesus. How can you not love this amazing man?

[@westlee.4164]

Wow ❤️

[@robotgamers9025]

Awesome voice!!! I understand he's a Reverend now!! God bless him!!! 24

[@AndySmith-lq2di]

47 years later and he still sounds so very good, no sorry I meant great.

[@songfullyyrz]

this version is absolutely phenomenal given that this song is approximately 48 to 50 yrs old and his voice is timeless. he actually sounds better now. Mr Holman, thankyou for this beautiful song-and Mrs Holman is absolutely right. I wish you would come to Peoria, IL. I'll be first in line for a ticket

[@michelebacchus-myers3623]

To God be the Glory!!! This man's gifts and talents are such a blessing🙏🏾❤😍 I used to listen to this song with my uncle when I was a little girl. God is so Awesome, and Mr Holman made sure to thank the Lord, I heard him loud and clear!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 God bless you Mr Holman, I love you and I'm grateful for your music🙏🏾❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏾
