Yolanda Adams - Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)

[@kingoftheoutsiders]

Probably the best singer in the world. God bless all black singers for their amazing talent, 99.9% of the artists I follow in last 50 years since the age of 9 are black......to me they are the best singers in the world and without Mowtown music wouldn't be what it is. Bless

[@mahoganyflame]

i have always said that noone sings this song like miss ross can live but baby...miss yolanda adams tore that song up!!!! my god can that woman sing mmm mmm mmm made diana ross tear god bless you!!

[@erdnre]

Wow! Now this tribute was amazing! Yolanda seemed to be saying Through God I am praising you for all the people that you touch. Diana is receiving this because she knows this is praise, and not " I sing better than you" , a lovely, and very real moment.

[@runnerlegend7726]

I hope Yolanda Adams receives a Kennedy Center Honor. Hopefully within the next 10 years. She deserves one.

[@chinweugwu5122]

I have seen this video over 2 decades. Just can't hold my tears every time I watch it. Love is a universal language and I owe it to everyone I see. Yolanda I love you deeply.❤️

[@basilrodericks7791]

I LOVE the way Diana's kids just LOVE her. Truly her biggest accomplishment.

[@upclose22]

This was so beautiful. Loved how Diana Ross & her family responded. It was an amazing performance.

[@RachelleGarcon]

That is simply the reason why Yolanda Adams is my #1 singer. Amazing tribute!!!

[@susanwoods7861]

Rachelle Garcon She is so Awesome! She gives every performance, every Tribute every song, her all!!!!!

[@the1atcpc]

Yolanda gives the best tributes to other artists! Diana, Patti, Whitney, Gerald and the list goes on. She always makes the songs her own while honoring the artist. Job well done!

[@jennakristen3232]

I might have to fight you for that number one spot bro coz Fantasia tears the house down too!! looool, I guess it's coz they both have amazing soulful voices.

[@cjsalvadorch]

To James Brown and Shirley Caesar

[@runnerlegend7726]

Don't forget the tribute she gave to James Brown the year before this one! It was fantastic!

[@bgreen5234]

Don't forget chaka kahn.

[@janettem897]

Well done. Thank you

[@craigsmith5605]

Yolanda Adams ought to be the official singer for ALL TRIBUTES. No one can sing and move you to tears with that GIFT like she can!!!!

[@runnerlegend7726]

+Craig Smith She is righteous!

[@Owhorchukwu_Anwuri]

Ms Adams' performance was electrifying, one that even Ms Roses' children could attest to. That was a blinder of a performance.

[@wbegradio9227]

Yolanda giving tribute to the Supreme Diva of ALL DIVAS!! EXTRAORDINARY!!!! BEYOND COMPARE!!!!

[@ccth22]

You can tell Diana is a amazing mother.

[@darrylvanterpool9026]

An amazing tribute to Diana Ross, an amazing American treasure in our lifetime. I taught myself to sing by listening to her recordings over the years. I'm 60 and have seen and heard her voice grown and mature with excellence.

[@Kreatures100]

Wow wow wow Yolanda sang it to the stars.

[@Purenessly]

I love the choir, Yolanda rocks!!

[@l.angellove15]

WOW, MRS. YOLANDA ADAMS GAVE EXTRAORDINARY AND VERY OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AND VERY SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO MOTOWN'S LEGENDARY STAR AND RECORDING ARTIST MS. DIANA ROSS A TRUE WINNER AND POWERHOUSE VOCALIST DELIVERS THOSE LYRICS SO GRACIOUSLY SINGING WITH TRUTH FOR CONVICTION

[@gramstrong4746]

My brother transitioned Sunday first one of the year 2020. Today this song resonated in my heart. @Yolanda Adams Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@RajeeRajindraNarinesingh]

OMG! THIS TRIBUTE TO MS. ROSS IS SPECTACULAR!

[@sabrinathornton9833]

Now that's a tribute. Absolutely

[@TivoliEclipse]

I love Yolanda's tribute, and Diana's honest response, and her children response, and Chudney so dignified sitting in the box behind her mother, and Tracee turning to see her mother's response and alerting her siblings to look at Mom, and Rhonda trying to control the tears and her handsome sons (Ross discreetly chewing gum) in the center... and Steve Martin and Martin Scorsese's response's and Dee Dee Bridgewater and Michelle Lee's response in the audience, Smokey pumping his fist in the air, and Michelle Williams after singing Touch Me in the Morning so well... it is a beautifully epic performance!

[@Osiris51906]

All of that

[@TivoliEclipse]

Oops.... Vanessa Williams not Michelle Williams! Egad.

[@averypeppers7243]

Ú de las h en ere me fme

[@markharrison7061]

I WAS THERE! IT WAS THE GREATEST MUSICAL THRILL OF MY LIFE!

[@TivoliEclipse]

Yes FB -- you know me -- of course it's The Boss -- Ms. Ross. She gets the much deserved Kennedy Center Award, and is honored by Ms. Yolanda Adams and the Joyce Garrett Choir with song -- the ubiquitous "Reach and Touch Somebody's Hand". This video is LUSH!

[@jadeiman3094]

A message we need to hear... reach out and touch someone's hand!

[@michelekumarroy2882]

AMAZING 🙌🙌🙌 THE BEST VERSION I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!

[@anthonyholley2796]

Yolanda Adam gave a legendary performance , at the time she set the house on fire.

[@ronwoodruff3817]

The tribute Queen! Always brings her A Game.

[@Ckillen2422]

This woman does everything... my Goodness

[@laarbe]

Absolutely Fantastic..

[@jameseymeh]

DIANA IS SO SWEET.. I LOVE HER RECEPTION TO THE ARTISTS GIVING TRIBUTES TO HER.. :)

[@MA-yh2ko]

Lord Jesus this was EPIC.

[@ellisisland1374]

Outstanding performance of a classic song!

[@jameseymeh]

I THINK SHE NAILED IT. :) WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE.

[@mal211129]

Yolanda ate that!

[@67DrWatson]

The ONLY singer around today who could have done justice to this song IMHO.

[@astridjonesmusic]

This is soooo amazing... Thank you Yolanda Adams:-)

[@l.angellove15]

YOLANDA ADAMS 2nd BOTH SHARING THEIR AND JOYFUL SPIRITS AND MEMORIES OF A LIFETIME, AND YES THESE POWERFUL LYRICS lS SOMETHING OUR CREATOR WANTS ALL HIS CHILDREN TO COME TOGETHER IN UNITY REJOICE TO LOVE, CARE AND SHARE THAT UNIVERSAL LOVE & SUPPORT THAT WAS ALWAYS PART OF HIS ORIGINAL MASTERPLAN SO IT'S TRULY AMAZING TO HEAR THEM WHOLEHEARTEDLY EXPRESS THEIR GENUINE LOVE HONESTLY & COME TOGETHER AS ONE BIG FAMILY WITHOUT BEING SEPARATED BY VIOLENCE, HATRED AND GREED AND, WHY NOT STRIVE, DAILY TO SHOW LOVE, RESPECT AND SUPPORT THOSE IN NEED, A WORD OR TWO FOR ENCOURAGEMENT, OR FOOD AND SHELTER, SO WHY NOT TODAY "REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEBODY'S HAND" AND MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE" TO LIVE IN OUR HOMES AND COMMUNITIES TO HELP AND BLESS,THOSE LESS FORTUNATE THAN OURSELVES. BECAUSE "GOD AND CHRIST IS LOVE" LOVE AND WE'RE ALL HIS CHILDREN ALSO CREATE FROM LOVE.

[@RyanUnfinished]

Ms Yolanda knows how to take a song, beat it into submission, make it her bitch, and then leave it on the floor. WERK.

[@JamacnDade]

YOLANDA HAS A VOICE SENT DIRECTLY 4RM GOD 2 MINISTER!! Great performance!

[@Hershey_Gregg]

Diana reminds me of my older aunts, like she when she putting her hands in the air.

[@falanajerido6939]

SHE IS POWERFUL WHAT GOD DO FOR YOLANDA

[@rrmauriello]

honors beyond words.

[@whatigot2say]

This whole thing has to be bitersweet for Miss Ross. People receive tributes and acclaim like this when they're careers are closing, coming to an end. It's done while there is yet time to do it. The meaning is clear she's reached the pinnacle of possible success.. her greatest accomplishments are behind her.

[@cecliajones]

Wow!

[@jococklin6366]

Needed to hear this. 😃

[@falanajerido6939]

Fantastic

[@48laveo]

Yolanda sang that Ashford and Simpson song. She sang it!\

[@legedaryone]

when Yolanda sung this song I cried.

[@ambriadaniels5689]

She said 💞 enjoy your day ❣️ Sun 🌞🎉

[@SEFYH]

I Yolanda had sang a couple more rounds of that chorus, she would have had that entire place shouting like in church! LOL

[@runnerlegend7726]

She bought the house down!!!

[@whatigot2say]

@anwuri1987 couldn't have been a better finale for Miss Ross' tribute. perfect.

[@travelersjet1050]

I have to say that Yolanda just took them to church with this song!

[@falanajerido6939]

Powerful

[@Hershey_Gregg]

reminds me of chruch chours. wish ours sound like that though. :-)

[@HermanOmar]

Yolanda brought Jesus into The Kennedy Center that night!!

[@dandrebutcher8019]

you better sang Yolanda !!

[@albertbroussard5555]

Some performance are just "other worldly"....this one

[@worrell21085]

REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEBODY'S HAND WITH AGOPE LOVE!!!!!!!

[@AnotherSpecialEdMom]

Better than the best!

[@fredfinley1]

To paraphrase Acts 12:36 "King David fulfilled the purposes of God for all of his life." Amen. Yolanda Adams has faithfully served the purposes of God for all of her life...and we're loving it! PRAISE ON!

[@anthonycorbett6264]

2019

[@jw79bull]

@okebaram duh YES!! LOL

[@coolsweetgroovy]

This song reminds me so much of Love and Mercy by Brian Wilson

[@okebaram]

WAIT a minute y'all... is O' girl from the show "Girlfriends" Diana's daughter?

[@BrothaAjay2]

@okebaram Yes sir that is Tracee Ellis Ross..a.k.a. Joan Clayton. lol!

[@whatigot2say]

@sickvokals what?? are you saying her career isn't coming to a close? yes she's still touring but she will probably never have another hit record, she already said she probably will never do another film so i'd say that qualifies as her career winding down.

[@fredfinley1]

I should have added that for this sixty seven year old white boy...my world has been a better place because of Diana Ross

[@orlando5643]

wow i was almost cry. lol

[@minnelli21]

at 2:33 Had I been Diana I seriously woulda leaped over that balcony.....

[@sickvokals]

@whatigot2say absolutely off the mark buddy lol Bittersweet lol

[@sickvokals]

@whatigot2say Man, please!

[@whatigot2say]

@okebaram how else do yo think she got that role?

[@Tcamp95818]

:-)

[@whatigot2say]

@sickvokals what do you mean? explain please.

[@whatigot2say]

@sickvokals i don't think it's a joke at all, no one is happy about their career coming to a close. even accomplished successes like DR.

[@falanajerido6939]

Wow powerful wow better then Diana Ross wow

[@coolsweetgroovy]

I really wished Melindawould have gotten out Of Diane's shot "It's never going to to be about you ever you platium bolnde ugly bad wax figure" How Diane kept her cool when she really wanted to smack the waxface devil

[@sickvokals]

@whatigot2say It seems Evan does, because he's in the business. But, the oldest boy seems kind of blah. He always seems blah LOL The girls seem very protective over their mom. Especially Chaudney

[@whatigot2say]

@sickvokals yeh but the oldest son is the best looking of the bunch. He's not into being in the lime light it seems.

[@whatigot2say]

Respond to this video... I wonder if her children realized the level of her success before this?

[@sickvokals]

@whatigot2say I hear all that. But, you said "bittersweet". That's what I'm questioning. Sounds more "bittersweet" for you than Ross. Just saying

[@Vince-nq6tf]

I just queefed.

[@sickvokals]

@whatigot2say Maybe you should've used a better word. "Bittersweet" is definitely an opinion. "Accomplished" sounds more suiting. Bittersweet...what a joke!
