Ronnie Dunn’s performance of “Cost of Living” on The View deeply touched the hearts of millions of viewers. Without flashy stage effects, under soft lighting and with only his emotional, gravelly voice, Dunn transformed the television stage into a rare, quiet, and powerful moment.

Once again, Ronnie Dunn proved that music is not only for entertainment — it is meant to heal.
