Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack would be IMMENSELY proud of this performance! Any man or woman can make music with their hands and voice...there are few among us who truly make music using their soul. Soul music is alive and well my friends! Thank you both for allowing us to feel such a beautiful gift, and for inspiring our next generation of soul singers.

Damn! Yes this is amazing. Everyone has already stated. So amazing no negatives. This is so church like yet not solely coming from the church , and this is being stated from someone who is not from the church, which shows the connection exists regardless of how we see the universe... that is what i feel from this song...

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard in a long time. I remember stumbling upon it some time last year and thinking it was great. Now, it's all I've been listening to for the past five days. Thank you Martin and Shelby. I wish you all the best and many songs like this one in the future.

I simply cannot believe what I just heard. THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL MUSIC! Live band you guys, really? You guys are so awesome. I felt like Steve Harvey on Kings of Comedy when he kicked the mic stand. Good music makes you just wanna scream! Keep doing what you guys do and keep God first.

Many Thanks. I'm sure the legendary Shelby J appreciates the love as well. Stumbling across something that really means something to you is an awesome experience. I am happy to be a part of that. About those few small loyal fans, remember that small groups of people have been known to carry out purpose related exercises that challenged and then changed the world. I expect no less from the Rebel Souljahs out there. The time for action is upon us. Push the button-
