Thank you all so much I truly appreciate the love!! Feel free to subscribe to my channel and ring that bell. I Would love for everyone to continue following my journey there are so many great things ahead. About a month ago my original Instagram was hacked at 30k after things started happening. Having faith that everything going to be just fine is what I’m all about but here’s my new one. Once more thank you all for the loving support instagram.com/officialshawnlouisiana?
Girl, you got that right. As soon as he sang "I was born...", I knew it was on and poppin'! It got so quiet so fast, you could hear a pin drop. WHAT AN AMAZING VOICE!
I'm a 68 year old white English man from the North and a hard bitten working class bloke and I've fought against inequality and racism all my life and that song has always touched me but this rendition brought me to tears well done young man you made an old white man very moved ❤☮✊
I'm a child born to Jamaican parents born and raised up North Liverpool to be exact. And many hard working people like yourself showed my family love kindness. 💞
I'm here in 2023. And this precious man with the heavenly voice doesn't need music. His vocal chords alone is music!!!! I'm a 67 year old Texas caucasion woman, and the honey flooding my soul listening to him sing Mr. Cookes song, is covering me from head to foot! Just beautiful!!!!
AMAZING! I love how the ENTIRE room got quiet during his performance. You could tell every single person there was thoroughly enjoying/feeling the music. I love Sam Cooke and all the wonderful people in this world who appreciate great music.
So I’m the white guy you don’t see in that shop, but I stayed like the rest of you .. amazed at what I was hearing. He changed the moment with the first note. This young man has real talent. He has the intensity .. not just the notes. If you can sit on a stool in a barber shop and let this fly, be assured you’re taking the rest of us with you. Great respect.
6/8/2023 @ 10:33 am Just beautiful!!! It’s early morning “Joe” for me. Took me back to my childhood days when my uncles and aunts would come over to our house for weekend gatherings and somewhere during the course of the evening they would break out in song. Wow!!! I surely miss those times. Thanks so much for sharing your God given talent. You have truly blessed my soul in so many ways!!!
I’m a huge Sam Cooke fan , this man’s voice is like smooth velvet . Please tell me this man has been given a recording contract or one as a Sam tribute . Beautiful
Im a 64 year old woman from a small town called Yukon, Oklahoma. I listened to Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles, because my mom loved soul music more than Frank Sinatra and those other singers of the standards back then. She taught me to live by "The Golden Rule", which i have done my entire life and always will! Listening to this young man sing one of my favorites of Sam Cooke's songs, it was like he was alive once more!!!! You really do have an amazing talent!!!!
Im 72, this song initiated from my era, but its for everbody, regardless of age.... If i were there at that barber shop, i would be jumping up with my hands raised to the sky in praise of the Lord for His blessing this young son with such a beautiful gift. Whew! Amen! 3:50
I remember when Sam Cooke's original song came out and I still love it at age 70. This young man has something that wasn't in that song, something raw and so sad that it made me cry at my age. Keep going young man. Your talent is rare
Why why why hasn't this country been listening to you on the radio and getting to watch you sing on TV? Is the U.S. music industry deaf????????????????? Your vocals are INCREDIBLE and YOU need to bring that kind of music back in our lives!!!!
I am in awe!! The young man sung exceptionally well. His own authenticity and voice with conviction. Making older white men cry is phenomenal!!! Keep singing young man; keep singing ❤😊.
Young man you are truly Blessed. It's been said that not too many can sing this song like the Great, Sam Cooke, but you did it. You are truly Annointed! I look forward to seeing your great success in the future! I wish you all the best! May God always bless you and keep you!🙏🏿💪🏿💓
Shawn Louisiana - what a phenomenally beautiful honoring of one of the all time greatest songs of the 20th Century, and of popular music across all time. I loved watching and hearing you deliver this … in a barber shop, no less. Fabulous video! I’ll be checking out your channel, yes indeed.
This is one of the most poignant and powerful songs I've ever heard and moves my soul every time. The world was robbed the day Sam cooke died, phenomenal voice. Well done young man👍👍👍
I❤️LOVE! My black Brothas!!! We are so NATURALLY talented. and gifted in so MANY ways. I hope your still singing with a voice like that! I’m 67 years old this year, and I grew up listening to Sam Cooke, via my momma and elder siblings. I’m sure he’d be proud…and would have to give you props!!! You even put your own spin on his GREAT! Civil Rights Anthem. Absolutely Beautiful!🙏🏽😊❤️
Yes I'm sure Sam Cook would be proud of this man. Great to hear the past coming back. And you bet you black have plenty of Great things about you, voices dancing personality and so on. I'm beige but love black singers all my 63 years.❤😊
Beautifully sung by this talented young man. This was not an easy song to sing, but he did effortlessly! What a beautiful voice God has blessed you with! Somebody give this talented man a contract!!!❤❤
That's why the enemy took our voice and replaced the vibration with gangster rap and hypersexual trash. They don't want the world to hear our cries and for us to flow in a positive vibration. Music is the most effective tool to alter personality 😢
Oh god why does that subject always get forced into absolutely everything? This young man just casually opened his mouth and out rolled a ridiculously fine Sam Cooke song... and people insist on bringing up skin color 🤮
Thank Lord for letting see this video. This young man really did Bless me with his singing. This was one if my Uncle's favorite song. We played it at his funeral.❤️❤️❤️🔥🙏
I do Not know who this young man is, BUT HE IS FANTASTIC!!- i grew up with Sam Cooke-sang all his songs-even the ones people said i was not supposed to-Sam Cooke to me will Always be a Legend and a true fighter for equality!-His loss is sad, BUT you make his Spirit Live again! Your pitch and clarity were Great!! don't give up!! -Show the world you are here and alive man!!-hope to hear more from you! God Bless you and keep you Safe man!
We are smiling from earth in remembrance of Mr Cook’s gift to the world. We don’t have evidence of a heaven but Sam was energized in that voice and that was evident. But yes the young man voice was beautiful. Agreed
I teared up.😢 Touching rendition. That song and what it represented at an important time in our history has so much meaning. It also epitomizes SOUL Music; the words and the arrangement. As the saying goes, you understood the assignment, young man. BRAVO!!!
It is hard for those that were not abused in horrific ways. No matter years to pass CHANGE HAS TO COME...We are not second or more class citizens. OUR BLOOD AND SWEAT MADE THIS COUNTRY. I CRY ALWAYS SEEING THE HATE STILL SO ACTIVE ! SLAVERY IS IN OUR GENES. AS A CANCER THAT IS HARD TO CURE...BUT THIS SONG IS OUR HOPE ....CHANGE MUST COME !!!
Sam Cooke would be proud to see & hear his music legacy pass on through this young man! Respect! I know this is 2 yrs after-the-fact but I came across it while looking for some Motown to listen to while I was re-building my deck. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
Absolutely beautiful voice, well done young man. I wish the young lads of today stopped rapping and started singing because these tones are real heart stoppers.
That was a soulful rendition- ya gotta feel it to sing like that. Another version is from Rod Stewart- very heartfelt. When the whole barbershop got quiet, you know he's good.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! ❤ Today’s music can’t compare with the soul of the 60’s era, and you did the song Justice!! Much success to you; we need real talent such as yours.❤
Would love to hear this young man sing "Touch the Hem of His Garment".....another Sam Cooke original almost equally as hard to cover but this young man has got the pipes to do it justice....keep the music alive
Take it from a 72 year old that had the privilege of hearing Sam Cooke while he was alive this is a very talented young man, I hope he goes far in the world good luck to him & keep up the great notes!!! I truly enjoyed this video.
@@lisagibson4134 I feel sorry for all the people that missed growing up in my time, n my opinion it was the very best years to be a kid n America we had the best of it all🚫💩👍👏👏👏🎉🍻
@@shirleyjones9736 I was brought up with music...proper music as this is... it makes us feel fantastic...as a 16 year old in 1986, I was truly blown away by motown- the Wanderers, and too many to list.... Helen Shapiro...lipstick on your coller and Ready, Steady Go.....xx😍
Wow. And he dropped the vocals without having to get a glass of water or clear his throat. Awesome job. Why isn't he signed?? RAW TALENT IN THE MAKING 🙏
He sang that song and the elder was speechless to come back to give the young man some gems to think about 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💥🔥go as high as you can go run with it
That’s was beyond amazing. My Mother LOVED Sam Cooke! This song has always been so spiritual to me. Your rendition did the same for me as when Sam Cooke sang it, giving me goosebumps, peace and hope. Thank you for sharing your gift
Thank you sir, you sent chills up and down my arms. If I hadn’t seen you singing I would have thought it was a recording of the man himself. Thank you , thank you, thank you…👍👍👍👍🇨🇦

Hi Shawn, I literally just found this video, and I am so glad!!! You are so incredibly talented!!!!! God has truly blessed you with a beautiful voice. He will see you through each & every trial!!! I can't wait to hear more music from you!!!!❤❤❤😊
I’m in the social service field and there’s days I feel soooo broken that it’s hard for me to pick myself up and this song always lifts my spirit BUT this right here brotha be blessed! ✊🏾 thank you for sharing your journey with us!!!
You brought me to tears. I’m a 72 year old chick from the south and I remember distinctly listening to Sam Cook, and being absolutely enthralled with his incredible voice. You’ve got a great tone. The voice AND the looks. If you want to be a star, you will be. I love your voice. You have “it.“ Follow your dreams.
Ol white lady here...and I though the youth was lost to rap! That was AMAZING! I love Sam Cooke...and that song is it! You were wonderful...and you put em in the bag! Keep singing.
All I can say is wow, I’m a 78 year old lady from the UK. He was one off my favourites, I don’t have enough words to describe your voice, emotion, intonation, I’m in tears it just brings back so many amazing memories thank you. Have just subscribed, can’t believe you’re not famous with that voice ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏😘😘😘😘😘🇬🇧
That was fantastic. It was just his beautiful voice without all the accompaniments, 🎤, and whatever else to boost the rendition. He didnt need them. Awesome.
I am a 71 year old white New Zealander and have been a Sam Cooke fan for years, and this guy was right "It's been a long time coming", man you nailed it, bought tears to my eyes 🙏🙏🙏
Brought me to tears...Its crazy how a song sung with the right voice and feeling can have such a powerful impact... amazing!!🔥🔥🔥..Change is definitely coming!!
It's a beautiful song that was sung by a GREAT singer over 50 years ago. That young man did that song some justice and the message is very very strong.
@dorothycrawley3327 I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your son too. It's hard, but time has made it easier to accept.🙏🥰We're going to be okay. God will take care of us. Just trust Him.
Be blessed. I lost my daughter when she was 14 years old in 2007. For some reason, this became my favorite song. It just touches my heart. We know our babies are okay❤❤❤❤❤ It still hurts and sometimes I wonder, but I thank God for covering me this whole time and never leaving me.
That there is an old soul reincarnated to today. It gave me goosebumps listening to him sing his heart out. Nothing but love and respect from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 🙏
Oh my goodness! I'm breathless! This gentleman sung tears to my eyes! What a blessed voice he has! God gifted him! And I pray that he uses it! So uplifting!
GOD has Graced you with such a magnificent voice! I’ve listened to multiple people competing on AGT, BGT, and other shows where the contestants have song this song , but they couldn’t do like you Sir… Brilliant ❤❤❤ I think Mr. Sam Cook is in Heaven rejoicing with the LORD JESUS and GOD the FATHER saying Lord he’s the one who’s got it!❤️💙❤️💙❤️ . You are absolutely amazing!!! 💯❤❤❤❤❤❤
