Amateurs/Youtube performers... any good finds?

[jillfoster]

Since record companies can't seem to find talent, it apparently is seeping out of youtube! Any people you guys have found that really stand out of the crowd? I found this guy today, and am REALLY impressed, great voice, and he actually SINGS, instead of that ridiculous forced stage whisper that 90 percent of male singers are using today.

I really enjoyed this young man's rendition of Maxwell's "Pretty Wings"

There was an interesting piece on 60 Minutes this weekend that showed people over fifty who loved music but did not pursue it either because of economics or because they led lives that got them jailed, on drugs, or homeless.

The show was inspiring. I posted a link to the piece, but by mistake, I posted it in the Motown Forum. The piece on 60 Minutes runs about 20 minutes. If you can find time , check it out. It will make you feel good to see these people show talents that were hidden for so many years .
