Lawrence Beamen

Lawrence Beaman makes his first appearance on America’s Got Talent 2009 singing Ol’ Man River from the musical Showboat. Lawrence has a bass solo voice which we do not hear too often. The quality of his voice and his passionate perfomance are amazing. Lawrence is a true talent.

“Ol’ Man River” is a song from the 1927 musical Show Boat written by Jerome Kerns and Oscar Hammerstein II, that contrasts African American hardship and struggles of the time with the endless, uncaring flow of the Mississippi River, from the view of a dock worker on a showboat.

It is the most famous song from the show. It is sung complete, once, by the dock worker “Joe” who travels with the boat, and is re-sung three times more in brief reprises.

Lawrence Beamen (Beaman) could very easily win the entire competition.  He is by far the best singer in the competiton. He has the professionalism, charisma and the talent to carry a complete Las Vegas show.
