#928. Lineage of Song: “Testify”

 

Russell Crowe 

Alan Doyle

So when people deny Russell Crowe his musical accolades, I’ve got at least one song to make the counterargument: “Testify.”

It’s easy enough to find on YouTube, usually a performance he gives at an awards ceremony he’s otherwise hosting. Between that and the Alan Doyle cover with the video starring Crowe, I assumed for a long time that it was a cover. It’s a great song. But as far as I can tell (the always reliable Wikipedia), it’s a song Crowe and Doyle wrote. Both sound great singing it. Anyway, it deserves a wide audience somewhere, and should elicit many covers through the years.
