Terre Haute, Indiana’s Richard Goodall is cracking smiles and pulling tears with his golden pipes. The grade school janitor recently performed for his students with a brilliant rendition of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’,” Loudwire reported.

Equipped with nothing but a boom box, Goodall approached the stage and grabbed the mic. The Indiana native began belting the power ballad, quickly stealing the hearts and minds of his audience. Once the janitor’s performance made its way onto Twitter, he had the whole internet in the palm of his hand.

It’s a performance worth watching.

Former Journey vocalist Steve Perry took to Twitter to give Goodall props for his amazing performance. The classic rocker simply said, “I love this.”

Racking up views with other covers of other classic hits, Goodall has been active on TikTok — making music and melting hearts.
