This video is about O Danny Boy

Before he took his first bow, he brought the pianist alongside him. He is a star, and a gentleman.

He is a gentleman

Most people assume. on hearing this beautiful musical tribute, that it's of a girl bidding farewell to her lover--very likely called to the wars. But I have long believed that instead it's the voice of a Father, sending his son into battle. "The pipes are calling ..." traditional summons to service. "Tis you must go, and I must bide ..." For I am now too old and frail. Surely there is room for this interpretation.

Totally agree, but the real beauty of this air is that it is about love , weather it’s a son or a lover . It works for both a sweetheart or a parent . My dad used to sing it and that moved it to the next generation…….. never thought about anything other than a father to his son ……… but as l got older realised a it could be a mother or wife to her son husband .

What a great singer this man is.

[@aljay2955]

So effortless and natural. Just a man with a marvelous voice.

[@kimberlyjohnson1371]

[@larrydean4433]

The sweetest tenor voice of all time.

[@aanchal-annaleedeprince5525]

yes

[@highcking]

Splendid singing in all respects. A truly lovely voice.

[@joannemercader7139]

Beautiful

[@wadedixon6595]

It appears the exact same arrangement developed for Paul Robeson was used for the piano. ,. And I would say a first class vocal performance to go with it. A very classy artful and sweet performance to go with it.

[@siuafakahau2653]

I like his voice

[@kimberlyjohnson1371]

Very much ..ditto

[@FlorianStollmayerMUSIC]

[@kimberlyjohnson1371]

[@barryslone2036]

Beautiful. He doesn’t “over-sing” it like the amateurs do.

[@karinschmidt8847]

Wonderful technique 😊

[@blairburton7564]

Brother Stan, you bring comfort from miles away! Thank you!

[@charlottesolomon9511]

Sir I am so comforted by your song. Thank you. Regards from Malaysia.

[@gerrymcardle9319]

What a beautiful and powerful voice , look how far away from the microphone he stands.

[@unaturner6130]

I loved it and play it over and over again at least once a ❤ week !

[@КатяЧ-м6с]

I believe that he's honest with me.I believe in every word.

[@DerGlaetze]

Great voice. Superb control. (BTW-Is he singing about Danny Ainge?)

[@alfzay734]

I am not a Mormon, but I enjoy his rendition of The Holy City, Bless This House and other sacred classics. AFAIK he is not Irish, but did a marvelous job at singing Irish ballads, reminds me of John MacCormack. Not just a God-given voice and superb voice technique, but Stan Olsen sings with deep feelings from the heart. That's true interpretation!

[@jongtoehaha]

love his voice!

[@laura835]

this is the best version I've heard so far

[@aljay2955]

Yes this is marvelous. Don't know if you've listened to Roy Orbison's version. Its very unique but beautiful also.

[@stephendudley6208]

Give Finbar Wright a listen, truly amazing.

[@joannemercader7139]
