This Married Couple's A Cappella Rendition of 'The Prayer' Will Give You Chills (VIDEO)

"The Prayer" was introduced to the world as a duet between Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli in March 1999 and became an instant classic. Chuck Taylor from Billboard called it "a breathtaking, ultra-lush song" and "one of Dion's most radiant performances ever."

In 2012, married couple Peter and Evynne Hollens of Eugene, Ore. debuted their cappella version, and the talent and emotion are stunning in their own right. The video description confirms that all sounds in the song were made by voice and mouth. Peter is an accomplished a cappella vocalist and producer, and was featured on NBC's "The Sing Off" as the leader of vocal group On the Rocks. Evynne records performances for her YouTube channel.

On July 24 of that year, the video took on even more meaning to the couple as Peter dedicated the video to his father, who died that day. "The Prayer" was his favorite song.
