This is great! .he is on his way to better things as we speak....I was the lad vocalist for slave......7 years ago I was in the midst of homelessness at hippie hill ..I drew my way out of that situation by selling hundreds of pieces of art. and I quit drinking and now i have my life back. HE WILL MAKE IT!
This man has a wonderful voice and he's beautiful. His song has a lot of real meaning to it. Poeple do look away too much from those who are suffering and in need. I hope that he can get the word out with his song and touch the heart of people to be more caring, and giving and less judging and preoccupied with things that really dont matter as much.
Omg-as i just listen to him speak before he sang,I knew he must have made wrongful choices to cause him to be on the street,however as he sang that beautiful song I got all teary eyed & said to myself His change is soon to come and one day so will mine.God bless the man who took his time to get this seen as well as heard.
GOD GIVES PEOPLE AMAZING TALENT! GOD BLESS YOU BROTHA! REALLY ENJOYED IT AND I KNOW IF MICHAEL WAS STILL HERE AND WAS ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF IT HE WOULD HAVE BLOWN IT OUT OF THE WATER! (R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON JUNE 25TH)
Homeless just means he does not have a place of his own to stay, he doesn't have an address! He has rights, talent and charisma and i wish only the very best for him.
Awesome! vid n very inspirational. Kenneth thanks for posting this show the world to side of people's life and Awesome Song he need to post the on itunes and make money ..u should help with that . p.s. Tell him his voice is amazing with the cigarette or not but he should stop ...he truly is talented Man .Anyhoo thank s for reading this n keep on making more vids Kenneth W. One more sub here.
Your honest and humble reason for being homeless is the love to sing and perform. Your broken dream is reality to so many. I see no shame in that. I hope you are blessed with a home. I know homelessness too. It's a effed up reality to live in a rich country that lacks human compassion and allows this plight to exist.
Mysteries unveiled, things will change, it will not, and cannot stay the same, merely because we live in a evolving sinful world, and it stay like this. Truth will come to light, This world is only temporary. Very talented singer youngman.
Dang, he brought tears to my eyes. I hope life changes for the better for him soon. I would expect to see him on "American Idol" or another talent show. I would vote for him!
very talented!!! Happy to see that people still have passion for their god given talents. Prayers are with James for the best! Hope he gets discovered and stays on the path that god has chosen for him and that nothing negative gets in the way of that!!! Best wishes James!
Yeah ...He has the spirit ! you can see thai in his eyes ! go bro and sing out your soul and let this creep world to know that soul n heart still exists !
God gave him a voice! God shall give him a home, if not on this earth, then in the biggest house we could ever imagine, right next to our lord and saviour! God Bless this man.
No matter how many times I watch this video! I just love it more and more! So much positive coming from it! I love it!!!! thank you so much for sharing!!!!
Wow, this dude is the real deal homeless or not. I caught my self singing this song 5 minutes after i watched it and had to come back and comment. You never know what you'll find in the streets of NYC. Lyrics are catchy!
"neglected everything for the love of music".........that statement is so deep......only those who lived around real musicians know how really deep that statement goes......Peace.
I love that guy man. . . He is very right about what he is saying and singing. People should really take the time and listen to what people like him have to say.
God works in mysterious ways. He uses this homeless man to send his message to the world. Everything must change...we need to love and help each other.
Chills... He gave me Chills on Chills. Amazing... That song is so deep and so true... we all need to help each other. God Bless James, I hope someone snags him up and signs him to a deal.
Michael Jackson would be so proud of you James to keep his message going! I hope that somebody will take note of your beautiful voice and message and make your dream come true.
HIS TONE IS BEAUTIFUL! HE SAYS IN THE END THAT HIS VOICE IS RUSTY!!!! RUSTY? FAR FROM IT!!!!! WHAT A GIFT! HIS VOICE IS AMAZING!!! SUCH TONE QUALITY!! NOT A FLAT NOTE IN SIGHT!!!!! HE PICKED A GREAT CHOICE FOR MICHAEL JACKSON TO SING! AND WE DO MISS MICHAEL! BUT THIS SONG IS FOR YOU MR. JAMES PERCELL! THANK YOU! FOR EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE!!!
likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and yes everything must change....................but from words to facts is a long road.....life is not fair with some people but we the people can do some things for those like this man.
I can relate to this cat. I was also homeless many times in my life, I too am a best kept secret like this wonderful soul who is caught up in the middle of a self-war - the battle between knowing he has a gift that the world needs to hear, and the fear of achieving success in that regard, because when we are suffering inside - we fear the idea of actually feeling good and making our dreams come true, without a substance, and without the need to be desolate. I wanna sing with this brother.
Music, his voice was music, he said I am rusty, wow if he had practiced wow, I loved the song also, the lyrics were amazing, Thank you for sharing. FayePac Unleashed
Gives me such a good feeling when i see people going out of their way to help others, congrats to the guy who recorded this as well as the guy singing :-)
I wonder how many of these 1.291.646 people that watched this, live in New York, and how many of them went to give this man at least a plate of food... God bless him and hopefully he'll make it !!
Thank you for sharing this with us, Mr. Williams. Mr. Percell's voice reminds me of Stevie Wonder's. With a well-balanced diet, plenty of rest, and less stressful circumstances, he'd probably sound even better. That said, we could all learn from him. I hope he gets the opportunity to share his music, wisdom, and humility with ever more people.
This is a very moving video. It goes to show that when we think we have it bad someone has it worst.I thank God for giving you a caring heart to help someone in need. You will be blessed
this homeless guy here got some talent!!!!!! APOLLO AMATEUR NIGHT IS CALLING HIM... God is gonna lead this fella to the right direction some day to start off his dream/career
They are gifted, and I pray that God will release an opportunity to improve each of their situations, so that they can celebrate his purpose in their lives.
O my god you have so so much talent I cannot believe that all I'm gonna say is your song is so true the world must change that is the truth now only if I can find my mom and my father wasnt paralyzed :(
His last message was about to make me cry!! WOW he has a great voice. :) Wish him the Best. When is all of the pain and suffering going to end?? Mercy!
I hope this man is off the streets and in a recording studio where he belongs! Bless you! The message is great my brother and things are going to change!
