10-Year-Old Boy Turns Every Seat on “The Voice” with Bob Dylan’s 1973 Nostalgic Cover of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”
For his blind audition, 10-year-old Arthur chose Bob Dylan’s iconic track, “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” This bold decision paid off as his soulful rendition turned all three mentor chairs. Ultimately, Arthur chose Louis Bertignac as his mentor!
The song, which has given listeners chills since its debut in the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid, became a global hit shortly after Dylan released the single. Dylan’s influence on the music industry is profound, inspiring many artists over the years, including young hopefuls like Arthur. His timeless music continues to resonate, being passed down through generations.
Arthur’s performance of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” was particularly moving. Some songs have a unique ability to bring a tear to your eye, no matter how many times you hear them, and Arthur’s rendition captured the emotional essence of Dylan’s classic.
“Mama, take this badge off of me – I can’t use it anymore. It’s gettin’ dark, too dark for me to see – I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door…”
Arthur’s performance was a beautiful reminder of the song’s enduring power and Dylan’s lasting legacy.
