Listen to Kelly Clarkson Perform “Go Rest High on That Mountain” by Vince Gill

Kelly Clarkson is known for her powerhouse vocals and emotional performances, and she proved once again why she’s one of the most talented singers in the industry during a recent episode of her talk show, “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” In a touching tribute to country music icon Vince Gill, Clarkson performed his hit song “Go Rest High On That Mountain” with all the passion and soul she could muster.

Originally released in 1995, “Go Rest High On That Mountain” has become one of Gill’s signature songs, earning him multiple awards and accolades over the years. The song was written as a tribute to Gill’s late brother, who passed away from a heart attack at a young age. The lyrics reflect the pain and sorrow of losing someone close, but also offer comfort and hope in the promise of a better place beyond this life.

Clarkson’s rendition of the song was nothing short of stunning. Backed by a simple piano arrangement and a choir of backup singers, she delivered the lyrics with raw emotion and a powerful vocal range that left many viewers in tears. Her performance was a fitting tribute to Gill and his timeless contribution to country music.

After the performance, Clarkson spoke with Gill about the inspiration behind the song and what it means to him. “It’s a song that I wrote for my brother, but it’s really a song for anybody that’s lost somebody,” he said. “It’s a message of hope and faith, and I think that’s why it’s resonated with so many people over the years.”

Clarkson, who has long admired Gill’s work and considers him one of her musical heroes, was honored to perform the song on her show. “You’re one of the greatest singers of all time,” she told him. “To be able to sing one of your songs, it’s such an honor.” Her performance of “Go Rest High On That Mountain” was not only a testament to her own talent, but to the enduring power of music to touch our hearts and heal our souls.
