For me, it's the elegant and warm combination of their voices that gives Chad and Jeremy their unique appeal. As evidenced by this spirited concert performance, their vocals are still very much in tact after all this time, and it's a tribute to their gifts that they can even deliver an a capella number in perfect pitch. There's just something sunny and affable floating through these charming selections that can't help but make you smile inside and out.
