KZitemOHANA & VOCAL MAJORITY This music piece/arrangement was so moving, powerful, and compelling, I literally got emotional! Struggling to hold back my tears during the take, when VM hit that chorus the second time, I couldn't help but ball my eyes out. I apologize about the blur in the middle too. I didn’t notice it till I put this video together and I didn’t want to redo it only because the reaction wouldn't be the same, that’s why I kept it the way it was. It wasn't because I didn't want to show my emotions haha. I was difficult putting this video together especially when I talked about my dad, I was going to delete the whole ending, but then I thought why hide the real reason for my burst of tears. REAL MEN CRY! =) Hahaha! With that being said, I hope you guys enjoyed this as much as I did! AWESOME JOB VM!!!! Aloha and Mahalo, Bruddah Sam

Sam I wish I could reach through the screen and give you a hug. Seeing your raw reaction gives me hope that there are still good people in this world. This song also makes me very emotional as I grew up singing it in church services. Then I went to a private college and the chorus (I wasn't good enough to be in it) sang this a lot as well. This song has deep meaning to me as well as several others.

Sam! Wow, what an emotional video for you to watch. Thank you for watching. And thank you for sharing your emotions. In the Vocal Majority, every one of us is encouraged to show our emotions. That's how we communicate and reach people. Two things. First, you mentioned more than once about the arrangement of "How Great Thou Art." It was arranged by our Executive Musical Director, Jim Clancy, who is one of the founders of our chorus in 1972. Also, Jim is the man who directed "How Great Thou Art" in this video. His son, Greg Clancy, is our Musical Director who you have seen directing use in other videos. Second, we have a website with many of Jim's exquisite arrangements at www.jimclancyarrangements.com/. We're working on a way to get you to Dallas to see "The Greatest Snowman." Stay tuned!!

This song was one of my mom's favorites and I think of her when I hear it and sing it. There are two men on stage in this video that the chorus has lost in the past few years. We are told to enjoy being together every time we perform, because we never know what life will bring. This group is a brotherhood and fraternity of some of the best men and people you will ever meet. I look forward to having you join us for the Christmas shows and meeting you and your family. God bless.

We have recorded three albums over the years that include our favorite sacred songs - "How Sweet The Sound" (1997); "You Raise Me Up" (2005) and "Then Sings My Soul"(2015). The majority of the songs were arranged by our Executive Director, Jim Clancy. Lots of beautiful magic in those albums.

As good as all this is, nothing beats the first time you're sitting in front of a big barbershop chorus in a rehearsal room in the general vicinity of the director and then they nail you to the wall with sound you can feel. As long as I'm here, I might as well drop a request. A cover of Samson by a female barbershop quartet called GQ. Keep up the good work.
