Live at the Apollo: A Song For You

[@brittany90vt]

I remember the night he performed this i had to be between 11-14 im 33 now. This performance has stayed with me forever! Im so happy to have found it 20 years later. I absolutely love this song and his rendition is chef kiss perfect.

[@tazaman2009]

I still have not heard anyone sing the song as well as Amir.... Still playing this in 2023.😎

[@xxaquaryussxx88]

Watching August 2024. Love this performance ❤

[@robincorprew9007]

2020 still wondering why this man doesn't have a record deal

[@RobAReid]

I saw this when it first aired....and it .....STILL.... NEVER....GETS....OLD 🙌👏❤

[@MrPeterquinn]

Watching in August 2020 for the 100th time. Still one of the greatest performances in the history of the Apollo. Amateur or Professional.

[@boogewonderland6013]

Maaaan... I saw this as a kid sitting on the floor in the living room in front of that Curtis Mathes. As I sat there and watched that crowd..the crowd that gave NO easy props. I watched them erupt! It gave me that feeling! It still gives me that feeling in 2022

[@MsRipp1]

This is my ABSOLUTE faaaavorite act on ShowTime of Allllllll Times.

[@catjames8757]

This is my cousin, Amir. I love him, my angel voice cousin. I miss him. This is one of the most beautiful performances anyone in my family has ever given. Bless you today and always, coz.

[@tenafrierson9674]

Did he pass away? So sorry for your loss. He's amazing

[@waynelesane468]

Hey Catherine my name is Wayne, my wife and I Mellisa were good frinds with Amir when he was out here in LA when he moved to Texas we loss contact and have been trying to find him. If you can contact me I would realy appriceate it yo can email me and we can go from there. [e-mail]

[@winsoncox9940]

What happen to him I can’t find his music anyway or his fb or ig

[@dannyjorlando]

I'll back him up , got the contacts, [e-mail]

[@anitawhittle1488]

Where is he? Does he still sing? Does he have more footage?? I love him..I watched him perform as a child and IT NEVER LEFT ME

[@theeblkmermaid]

2021 still my favorite version

[@koraleedailey3988]

2020 still in love with this one i remember seeing this on tv

[@erob69]

I've been listen to Amir's version of this song for a couple of years and it second only to the original by Hathaway himself. It's amazing how people who can't sing half as good as Amir have succeded as R&B vocalist. Some label needs to pick this guy up and help develope his God given talent so that we can all enjoy more of his amazing voice.

[@andrinnasmith3823]

Watching in 2022 for the 10,000 time. I loveeeeeeee this version! I remember watching this live

[@eurekalewis6377]

Chills, everytime I watch this! It's 2023, and it is still felt & enjoyed. Covering an iconic song/artist & doing it well, is no easy task...but he nailed it!, with his own spin on a classic. I pray he is living a joy-filled life, & using his gift in some capacity. Absolutely BEAUTUFUL!!! 🎶

[@cleavongaston7619]

Ten yrs later an still dude killing that song.

[@dannyjorlando]

The best i heard, nobody puts feeling in to it like you sir, you make people cry! Great !

[@Qballblack]

Best Apollo performance I've ever seen.

[@josephgerald5495]

[@deborahelliott4509]

Oh my goodness I hope he is still making music. This is soul stirring!!'

[@christopherhammonds4183]

my favorite showtime at the apollo performance ever

[@theresakennedy7339]

By far!!! I sometimes stop and sing his version of this song.

[@ladyhydrojen531]

Yep, I remember this stellar performance. I was so touched by it that I reached out to him during the Myspace days. He was so humble. One of the best Apollo performances ever‼️👩🏾‍🎤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙌🏾✌🏾🎶

[@rockydagamer8387]

Where is he Now? 8 love this performance and I'm curious.

[@astrix1251]

my wife and i used to watch apollo faithfully and he killed this song for like 4 or 5 weeks in a row. it was truly some special performances can't believe he never made it

[@ellplr]

I watch this every year

[@kristenrutledge7853]

I remember when Amir did this performance and here it is idk how many years later and it still hits me the same! I listen to this when I need a since of calm and I always cry and I listen it back to back to back. I can't get enough!! Where is this man? God bless you and I wish I could you sing so many more songs. Love love ❤!

[@theresakennedy7339]

I love me some Amir. Beautiful voice and beautiful person.

[@olindetroit7636]

Great performance by this singer, but can we also acknowledge the background music from that band - wow.

[@avibeontherun]

Omg I will never forget seeing this episode and vividly remembering this performance in particular because it's the only version of the song I like and I want a full version lol and I was a kid in elementary school when this aired...oh how I miss the 90s

[@mrlegendary5522]

I can not find his original performance of this …it was even better 💯

[@anitawhittle1488]

Yes it really was! This is the 5th time he did it

[@deborahdee165]

I had this recorded on vhs tape and used to love watching it over and over

Amir you tore that song up. I got goosebumps trully. What a powerful voice! Wow!

[@melodymiller4692]

Who is STILL listening to him in 2021?? I AM😁😁

[@sharee49]

Omgsh, eyemown, i thought i was the only person who saw that!! Do you know that was actually the first time i had ever even heard 'A song for you' and i loved his (first) version so much that when i heard the REAL song by Donny Hathaway i was like, 'This guy is singing this ALL wrong!' I wonder if Apollo has some kind of archive to bring up Amir's first appearnce with this song, this dude hit a high note at the end that almost brought me to tears- and i was like 9 at the time!!

[@ÉlisabethM-c2d]

Que de souvenirs. Merci ❤❤❤❤❤

[@officialcoy1]

Still give me chills

Every time I listen to the original song I sing it the way this man sings it.

[@andrinnasmith3823]

Still here 2024. Love this rendition

[@erob69]

I can't say better than the original, but he definitely makes the song his son (and not a mere redo). He sings far better than many artists that have record ing contracts. Hopefully the right person will hear him and sign him. Sing on man, sing on!!

[@queenlc123]

I remember when MYSPACE was popping. I sent him a message to call and sing this to me. He did. It was awesome. I didn't know him. Awesome artist.

[@ghettochildd06]

omg i loved this one better than his first time on the apollo you can tell he watched his first performance and fixed all the problems i absolutely love love love this one!
