Indiana janitor-turned-superstar Richard Goodall didn’t stop believin’, and that’s exactly what carried him from his America’s Got Talent Audition to being crowned the Season 19 winner in epic fashion.

Goodall first won Judges over with his “spectacular” tryout by singing the 1981 Journey anthem, “Don’t Stop Believin,” which helped the humble 55-year-old win one of two Golden Buzzers belonging to Judge Heidi Klum. Fast forward to the Season 19 Finale, when Goodall belted a tear-worthy rendition of Journey’s 1983 ballad “Faithfully,” a song Goodall told NBC Insider he would sing to his new bride.

“Thankfully it’s a song that I had been singing to Ang for a very, very long time,” Goodall said. “I started with Journey, I wanted to end the competition with Journey. And then little did I know I was going to be a big footnote at the end of the book… Phenomenal.”

Just before his winning cover, Goodall had a few words of encouragement (and surprise) from Journey guitarist Neal Schon.

“Richard, it’s Neal from Journey,” said the rock and roll legend. “I loved your Audition, man, and I have a surprise for you: I’m coming to perform with you on the Finale. I will see you really soon.”

See why Goodall’s live Act with Neal Schon & Members of Journey is trending online as one of AGT’s most unforgettable music events.
