    Diana Review – Richard Goodall Ginger and Nuts

Woloszyk described the track as a moving testament to inspiration, resilience, and the power of believing in your dreams. “Richard’s story — from school janitor to national spotlight — has touched hearts worldwide,” she said, praising the artist’s “voice filled with honesty and a classic rock edge” that gives the song “a raw authenticity that resonates deeply.”

The single was penned by award-winning husband-and-wife songwriting team Sam and Becca Mizzell, known for their heartfelt and timeless compositions. Woloszyk noted that their words and Goodall’s impassioned performance make for a “perfect pairing,” turning his remarkable life journey into a song that “uplifts and inspires.”

Drawing on Goodall’s lifelong love of classic rock, “Long Time Coming” also reflects influences from legendary acts such as Journey and Tommy DeCarlo, former lead singer of Boston. The result, Woloszyk said, is a sound that feels “both nostalgic and fresh — bridging generations.”

“‘Long Time Coming’ is Richard’s story, but it’s also ours,” she added. “It’s a reminder that dreams can come true at any stage of life, and that sometimes the wait makes the moment all the more powerful.”

Woloszyk also shared a personal connection to the song’s message, reflecting on her own continued passion for supporting musicians worldwide. “Who would have thought that I’d still be able to help artists gain exposure around the world through this wonderful platform?” she said.

As the segment concluded, Woloszyk proudly introduced her pick:

“My Single of the Week is called Long Time Coming by Richard Goodall — right here on Ginger and Nuts. Enjoy, guys.”
