Everone can feel that Kenton has so much passion on singing & express his emotion. We love him ❤️

[@SuperWindytree]

The lead singer has a fantastic voice! Back up singers were off in the beginning but got better throughout. That last note was sublime.

[@imariapassao]

Please check out my version of this song, I'd be very very very thankful

[@fransfries.]

The backup singers sounded off till the halfway mark

[@Scott3843]

Lead singer is fantastic. And, I would like to harness some of the joy the keyboard player has and incorporate that into my life. He's so happy! Love it.

[@paulw111]

Kenton has made "geek" .... so COOOL !!! His expression and range is just amazing.

"Geek" is just the first-glance impression of him. Once he opens his mouth, he is a full-on, brilliant funk diva..

The moment I wake up Before I put on my makeup I say a little pray for you While combing my hair now And wondering what dress to wear now I say a little prayer for you Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever and ever, we never will part Oh, how I love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only mean heartbreak for me I run for the bus, dear While riding I think of us, dear I say a little prayer for you At work I just take time And all through my coffee break time I say a little prayer for you Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever and ever we never will part Oh, how I'll love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only mean heartbreak for me I say a little prayer for you I say a little prayer for you My darling, believe me (Believe me) For me there is no one but you Please love me too (Answer his pray) And I'm in love with you (Answer his pray) Answer my prayer now, babe (Answer his pray) Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever and ever we never will part Oh, how I'll love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only mean heartbreak for me

[@marysalvi242]

@Alexander Wipf Yup! 🧡 And one will repeat a song several times in a row. I love them all, I look at the musicians and the smiles when they know their in a groove or the singer does something so cool - true artists that become one and yet stand out as individuals. Geez, how did i even get on here, oh that autoplay, cause I now will have to listen to at least one song..hmmm, what song what singer. Oh, no, I chose a new song, great to see them again, okay, ciao and enjoy!! ☮💖

Right I remember hearing Dionne Warrick? Singing didn't even know aretha franklin did it also
