Wow, this video gave me chills multiple times throughout, and shows what a sweet, caring and passionate guy Michael Buble truly is.

The singers of London’s West End Gospel Choir got the surprise of their life when Michael Buble walked through the door to watch them perform his song “Bring It On Home to Me.”

A video of the surprise visit was released Wednesday and was shot as Michael Buble was touring London this past March to promote his new album, Higher. Michael said he was “asked to surprise” the singers, who were led to believe they “were only being filmed as a stunt for Michael’s socials.” The video says “The choir had no idea that Michael is coming to surprise them,” and he had “no idea that they are performing his song.” The choirmaster, named Nathaniel, was in on the whole thing

The feel-good video starts with Michael gushing about how much he loves gospel music and psyching himself up to meet the singers. Of course, the moment he walks in, the choir jumps to their feet while erupting in laughter and cheers.

His reaction is priceless once he realizes what song they’re singing and soon joins them.

Michael then hugs each and every member of the choir and tells them, “I’ve been freaking out! For me, when I recorded this song, it was the greatest thing I’ve ever recorded in my life.” Michael became emotional as he explained that he always believed in the song when others didn’t and said their performance will “let people see how beautiful this is.”

“This is the moment. You guys gave me the moment,” he gushed.

“That was truly one of the greatest moments of my life,” Michael continued, saying he’d love to invite the singers to join him the next time he performs in London.

I love it when he says authentically and sincerely, “This is the moment, you guys gave me the moment.”

 

Michael is currently on the North American leg of his Higher tour and will perform at Madison Square Garden in New York City next Thursday, August 18th, and at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday, August 30th. Tickets are on sale here. Purchase the album here.

80 Movie Soundtracks Certified Multi-Platinum

Music is art. Movies are art. When they collide, magic can happen that can, and has, impacted pop culture.

The soundtrack album is almost like a time capsule. Often, it captures a moment in time, like the soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever and the age of disco or the soundtrack for Singles and the era where Seattle’s grunge scene ruled the world. It even works on films that period pieces like Forrest Gump, whose soundtrack highlighted some of the biggest hits of the ’60s and ’70s, or The Wedding Singer, which honored some of the biggest artists of the ’80s.

These time capsules have often translated into major sales figures, especially before the digital era where you can stream literally any song you can think of at the touch of a button.
