Since this is so close to my heart for clarity, I was asked to produce The Tribute Album to the late Thomas Whitfield my mentor and muse. I produced & performed the new version of this masterpiece to the best of my ability with his younger brother on vocals. We were awarded a Stella Award,The composition was so long, I took the musical license to record it in two parts: so it would get the well deserved radio play. Thomas was a God given Music gift, Lest we Forget I am Pastor Earl J. Wright Jr.

I am from the Uk. I grew up in the SDA church listening to Black Gospel Music and as a result became a Gospel pianist. I actually met Thomas at City Temple near Chancery Lane in London where he performed in the 80’s.. I was just a teenager learning piano and I remember I told him and asked him for an autograph. He signed my file-o-fax diary with these words ‘don’t worry when the sounds don’t come like you want them too, just keep trying ..... or something like that and I was very inspired and encouraged. His arrangements and his virtuosity as a pianist, his songwriting was phonomenal, I always return to these recordings to gain inspiration. R.I.P. Thomas Whitfield

Actually, what's going on is the "Hold Me" prelude, from the tribute album, and, if you notice, @ 2:20, it fades out. The original "Hold Me" fades in at that point. The piano solo has been omitted. The uploader did a "mishmash" of the two...notice the pitch difference...
