You Must See this Amazing Video

Yes, ps, Whitney had an amazing vocal talent and left us much too soon. So happy you had the thrill of seeing her perform in person with your daughter. That is surely an event to remember. Thanks as always for the visit and the angels. Be sure to keep at least one of them for yourself. :)

Thank you, Dimsie, for your visit and enjoyment of this young singer's rendition of Dolly's song. Thanks also for the additional details about Dolly and Porter. I know she wrote the song for Porter but like you, do not know if she meant it as a love song as well, or simply as a song of appreciation. Whatever the motive, it is a bautiful melody.

Thank you, kaltopsyd, for the visit and the lovely comments. "Voted up" and "awesome" are two of my favorites.

I've discovered that many folks who know the song may not be aware that Dolly Parton wrote it. She is wonderfully talented and yes, she IS an original.

Thank you, Tina V, for your visit and your comment. You are so right. Lin has an amazing talent and I will be following his career.

I love, Dolly, too katie. And you are so right about her owning this song. She sings those lyrics (which she wrote) as if her heart would break.

Thanks for the visit and the "fab" comment.

Thank you, Astra Nomik, your "excellent" comment is much appreciated.

I knew that some readers might have seen this amazing singer before but might not have heard the other singers who also made this song amazing.

Deborah - oh, do I admire your avatar name. Got to be a story there.

I will always love Dolly, too - she is one of a kind. But this youngster does have an amazing voice. Will be interesting to follow his career.

Thanks for your visit.

That's strange. I hear a frog outside "gargling"!!!

Froggie - I'm trying to imagine your voice and I keep getting reminded of those 3 cute lil singing frogs in the old Budweiser commercials.

I know they are not you but amphibian images keep creeping into my subconscious mind (?).

Thanks for the comment - I particularly admire "neck of the Hubs." You are truly creative ... for a frog.

Hi, ladyjane, thanks for the visit and reminding me of Simon Cowell's comment. When I listen to Lin singing that song, it is easy to imagine I am listening to Whitney. Amazing.

Cheers back atcha and thanks for the comment.

Hi, Maita. You're right - they are all amazing artists. But Lin may just be the most amazing of all with that sweet, clear voice of his. It will be interesting to follow his career.

And you're most welcome.

Hi, De Greek, Have you noticed that every time we think we've seen it all, something happens to surprise us? Like this amazing voice.

Thanks for visiting and the "wonderful" comment.

Thank you, Nellieanna, I agree with you.

They are all very special, talented entertainers and each one is a unique star. I think this young man may eclipse them all if his voice stays as clear and true as he gets older.

Hi, Ivorwen. There's a story - don't know if it's apocryphal or not - that Dolly wrote that song to let Porter Waggoner of the Grand Old Opry know how she felt about him and the fact that they couldn't be together. True or not, it's a great story - and she does exhibit a tremendous amount of feeling while singing those lyrics.

Hi, Pamela. I agree you can't go wrong listening to Lin, Whitney, Dolly or Leona. They are all extremely talented.

A great singing voice is definitely not a talent I possess so I appreciate more than most those who can sing well.

Thank you, Darlene, for the thumbs up. You may be my new BFF. Happy you enjoyed the video. Lin has the voice of an angel.

I agree, breakfastpop, the young man is awesome with a remarkable voice. I wouldn't be surprised if he attains the same sort of viral stardom enjoyed by Susan Boyle. More power to both of them.
