One of my favourite singers is Josh Groban, not just because of his powerful voice, and to me he is also a cute guy!  Joshua Winslow “Josh” Groban  was born on February 27, 1981.  He is an American singer, songwriter, musician, actor, and record producer who hails from Los Angeles, California.  David Foster was the one who discovered him.  Foster made him rehearse a duet with Celine Dion for the Grammy Awards and the rest is history. The first four solo albums have been certified multi-platinum, he charted as the number-one best selling artist in the United States.  He has sold over 25 million records worldwide.

He was only 17 years old when he started his career.  He said in an  interview that he is not in the opera type of singer, but still not exactly sure of his music.  Most of his songs though are operatic, but would likely classify him as classical pop.  Josh Groban’s website is https://www.joshgroban.com/, twitter https://twitter.com/joshgroban, instagram account instagram.com/joshgroban to get to know him a little bit better.  Here now are the top ten best Josh Groban Songs, don’t forget to listen to each of the inspiring songs and relaxing voice of Josh Groban!

Near the conclusion of the episode, Groban performed “To Where You Are” at a church service. Groban had been asked to return to the show after Fox received numerous letters and inquiries about the singer following his appearance in an earlier episode, “The Wedding”, during which he had performed the song “You’re Still You”.

Josh Groban has just made a majestic music video for his song “I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever) according to the US Billboard. Groban told Billboard that his inspiration for recording “I Believe,” and his reasons for closing “All That Echoes” with the song have to do with Wonder’s skill for truly universal songwriting.

 6. Remember

“Remember” appears on the album Live at the Greek (2004).  It is a touching song that talks about remembering someone and will always be there as long that he stays in her memory. That as long as she holds him in her heart he will never die and he will never leave her as long as she remembers her.  I am very much touched by the song because I remember my father who I loved the most.  I will never ever forget him, and I will always tell my kids how kind , simple, funny, responsible he was and how he love us unconditionally. It was again produced by the one who discovered him, David Foster.

 2. February Song

 “February Song” peaked at #13 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart.  He explains, “I was half asleep on the couch … I was just out of a relationship, I had just finished the whole experience of ‘Closer’ and the tour, and there were a lot of decisions about my future that had to be made, all by myself. I got up, sat at the piano and wanted to write a melody that represented that journey and the loneliness of that feeling — with the assurance that answers would come. It came to me in the flick of an eye.”  That already explains what the song is all about.

 1.  You Raise Me Up

“You Raise Me Up“, my personal favorite of all Josh Groban’s songs,  is a song that was originally composed by the duo, Secret Garden. The music was written by Secret Garden’s Rolf Lovland and the lyrics by Brendan Graham. After the song was performed early in 2002 by the Secret Garden and their invited lead singer, Brian Kennedy, the song only became a minor UK hit. The song has been recorded by more than a hundred other artists including Josh Groban, who popularized the song in 2003; his rendition became a hit in the United States. The Irish band Westlife then popularized the song in the United Kingdom two years later. “You Raise Me Up” is sung as a contemporary hymn in church services.  Until now the song is still popular especially the cover of Josh Groban.
