Hi, I would like to know how I can get the "rehearsal kit", or "voice kit" of this song for me to sing with my quartet. Is there any way you can make this "voice rehearsal kit" available to me? Thank you in advance and I'll be waiting for your return.

My son's barbershop quarter chose this song to perform. That was enough to make my heart sing. Their choral director died unacceptably. They sang to him at his bedside before he died. I hope that they sounded so amazing. Their choral director was pretty damned awesome. He deserved a perfect performance.

Glad you enjoyed it. :) Plenty more a cappella on my channel.

Amazing how you guys can blend so well when you're not singing together.

I recently was cast as the tenor in the barbershop quartet in the musical "Music Man" and I've been listening to so many quartets to truly get the sound right: it's videos like these that make me want to keep singing in a quartet after the final performance :)

The teacher in my music class showed us this and it's been stuck in my head ever since goddamnit. Hats off to you guys for this!

This is BY FAR the best cover. So much better than any other cover!

Ohh, I enjoyed this so much!! Thanks guys. Nothing beats the rich tone of a male voice.

I'm so very grateful, Julien, that you've kept this video available these past 10 years. It's a song I've treasured for many years because of it being sung a cappella. You and Sonny did an awesome job of performing it. 🙂 (Chase)

Sitting here trying to think of something to say that hasn't been said. I give up. Julien, you're incredible. Billy, you write the greatest songs. Beautiful lead vocal. I can't listen to this without smiling.

That guy is so lucky to have triplets as brothers, they sing so well too!

1) woh oh oh oh, for the longest time 2) if you said goodbye to me tonight 3) once i thought my innocence was gone 4) maybe this won't last very long 5) who knows how much further we'll go on 6) i had second thoughts from the start 7) i dont care what consequence it brings 8) woh oh oh oh for the longest time

I have recently developed an interest in barbershop singing thanks to you and Sonny. I mean, what else could I do? I'm so inspired by you. I haven't felt this good IN THE LONGEST TIME!!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Our song is available for download on BandCamp, it's music for you and support for the artists, everyone wins. The link is in the video description below the video. Thanks for your support. :)

Nice cover. This is such a sweet song. I feel these NYC Jewish kids who grew up in 20th century Brooklyn/Queens (e.g. plus others the same like Simon and Garfunkel, etc.) must've had access to not only some very gracious gifts from their generous God, but also some really advanced education in music, hey? Billy Joel is a gifted musician too, as well as having a vocal talent the likes of which only God's angels will usually produce. I'm astonished at how talented their songs and music are. It's complicated 'coz some seriously dedicated vocal talent and polished musicianship is used in the original works of Billy Joel's songs and music. Not all, but most of the stuff he published is truly masterful and classic in its finish. HArdy any musicians even fully appreciate his talent, and even then it's only when we analyse it and listen to it repeatedly 'coz it's unstoppable and without a record of it, it can only be enjoyed for that brief window of time it's being performed in. I can't praise this piece enough and can only think Billy Joel's gifts and talents come from a place far above him and the rest of us mere mortals. Someone up there loves Billy Joel's parents so much, 'coz seriously... This is divine! Billy Joel's original recording (especially with the video) is a helpful reminder of the fact there is a God above! And He likes to bless some of us with truly awesome talent and wonderful gifts of song so the rest of us experiencing it can all be left in awe and wonder. What a wonderful and awesome experience it would've been to see this performed early on y the original performer/s... It's truly a classic radio hit and can be listened to repeatedly without growing tired of it. The original recording of this is just the sweetest song of all the 20th-century songwriting we have on record! I feel blessed to have the ears to hear it and experience its wonderful sound and story.

Great - and Sonny is stunning!

This is incredible considering how difficult it is putting three parts of yourself singing together on time and in key like gosh that's insane!!

Faultless presentation, Sonny's lead is SO good, but without the other three parts, it would be diminished. Fabulous, thanks guys.

Why is everyone disliking this beautiful song, it is so irritating of so many people disliking this song for the longest time sung by The choir.

I've been playing this song for the longest time

your lead singer guy has the most incredible voice and your backgrounds are on point. well done!

The range on that guy is incredible

Every time they sing "And it's more than I hoped for", my heart overflows with happiness. It's such a beautiful sound, such a beautiful feeling

Sunny and you are an unbeatable duet! Your'e utterly charming and your voices fit perfectly. And the girls - guess you have to look down to your feet.

Love all your collaborations Julien. Wonderful harmonies and arrangements. The voice truly is a marvellous instrument. The video is great as well. For me half the fun is watching the singers antics and facial expressions as they perform their parts. Great job all. Love your work. PS. More Sonny collabs would be very welcome.

Well done, chaps. I love this song. When I sang in a large choir, the bass would get jealous of the notes we tenors got to sing. :) Jon in rural BC, Canada

Great work guys! Closing in 2,000,000 views just how many people appreciate this.

Neel, you have inspired me to pursue my love of music. The things you can do with just 4 voices is extraordinary! It has finally let me come to the realization that I want to become a music teacher and be a conductor of a school choir. It's simply amazing what you can do! Cheers!

Hi Julian, My name Is Jay. I'm 81yrs young, & have loved Barbershop all my life. By the way, you are amazing boy! In 1947 my Dad formed the first chapter of S.P.E.S Q .S.A. In San Jose Calif. He was lead singer In quartet called, " The What cha Ma Callits." They sang at many concerts & around The Bay area. They once sang at Bellarmine Catholic High. Bing Crosby's boys were going to school there, when Dad's quartet came on stage he came out & joined them! We have one pic. It was 1948.. I think they sang , Coney Island Baby...

The amazingness of this song can't be put into words.

One of my fondest memories is of performing this song for my final talent show in college. Our group had a gimic: humor and unconventional performance. For the final verse we slipped into a Hip Hop rendition of the song, complete with beatbox and hype man. At the end of the verse, we seamlessly transitioned back to the doo-wop version. The audience lost their minds and we got a standing ovation well before the song was over!

Julien, I love your productions they are great. As a lead in the Knights of Harmony Chorus I don't get the chance to practice with in quartet as much as I would like. Is there a way of you editing your pieces so there are one part missing, so anyone could join in as a lead, Barry, Bass or Tenor? What would be excellent of course if you could have all four parts with some sort of interactive switch, this would allow one part to be silenced. Needs multitrack audio probably too advanced for mp3 yet. Your thoughts .
