TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — A Terre Haute man has advanced to the Finals of America’s Got Talent.
Middle school custodian Richard Goodall was one of the select few to get a “Golden Buzzer” during the audition phase of the show, after he sang his version of “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
That performance currently has 24 million views on YouTube.
