A once in a generation talent, Gregory's sublime vocal gift, his phrasing, his effortless presence, continue the line from Nat King Cole, Sam Cooke, Luther Vandross. He is, quite simply, the gold standard of his generation.
For definite - this voice goes even further in a live setting. Seen him every time he's been here in Toronto, and I can't wait to see him hopefully this July!
He has given me hope that their is still good singers in this world instead of the crap that is normally peddled out by the money making machines and so called 'talent' shows. Talent? My Arse!
It took me a long time to find you. But it's okay because I've needed you most these last couple years. Thank you for reminding me there's still a heart behind the brick walls I've had to build. You Send me back to who I am.
I heard Gregory on Radio 2 singing this song and thought it was a recording of an old legend long since gone. What a nice surprise to find out it was Gregory, I'd never heard him before but his voice is beautiful, smooth and silky, reminds me of Ray Charles, Marvin etc so now I'm scouring looking for more of his music. Such a change from hearing pre-made pop hits from TV shows of today. Seems a really nice gut too. Thanks Radio 2!
Sensational, a genuine talent, not just in jazz but as a vocalist in a general sense. Gregory Porter's voice is perfection! What a blessing this man is to music.
I found Gregory Porter on the radio, WHUR, a Sunday nite enroute to home by car, over two weeks ago and have not stop listening to his music, almost daily basis, awesome voice, just bring my mind back to what was and where I should be, after 60 plus years!❤
THE AMAZING CREATION OF GOD SO GIFTED AND SO HUMBLE ONLY THE LORD CAN DO THIS LET'S BLESS THE LORD FOR THIS MARVELOUS CREATURE OF MANKIND AMEN PEOPLE OF GOD!
How can such a simple ballad written in the mid 1950s be still so potent nearly 70 years later. Sam must have had a spiritual inspiration to pen down this one.
Always sending love. You...i wish so much seein' you. In Real, singing that wonderful smoothie. Nothing Real around' just.. stayin'high bringing me UP. Takin' back my wings and deeply feel free and in love with true higher Love. Exisitin'. No much look Down, or back, forgeting all' . I do love u. The artist IS ! With all my respect Mr Porter. Blessings 🌺🌺🌺
he was heard first on jazz FM with 1960what and started his career late and got to glastonbury , keep with Jazz FM Gregory because you will never go out of fashion with them :-)
Watched him live at the joy of jazz festival in Johannesburg, South Africa, September 2014.What a perfomance. He's one of the brightest contemporary musical lights
Please can someone enlighten me why there are 12 thumbs down on this?? I'm kinda hoping it's a mistake an the 12 was actually meant to give it a thumbs up.if not consider my mind blown!!
Many reasons, but I feel it's people who are full of self hate stuck listening to pop music made in the boardroom and not in a proper studio with real song writers and actual musicians...but that's my guess.
Vocalist and lyricist extraordinaire{Gregory Porter} is singularly outstanding yet again. He tells a story that is universal to any young lover. Gregory Porter at his best I believe. Oh yeah, most of us can relate to the lyrics proffered here by the gentle jazz giant. The singing strikes one and gets soaked in one's being and it comes out in the way your perception dictates. You then realize that there is a alchemical and/or metaphysical relationship between you and the singer or music{aural dynamics at play}. The power of the first instrument, viz; the voice reigning supreme. Today's jazz oeuvre by Gregory Porter is impacting practically all jazz lovers - am I being presumptuous? It's your call music lover. Gregory Porter's music says far more than just mere words - a divine and subliminal rendition of a musical narrative. Truth be told you can't keep a good thing down - the good thing here is this beautiful musical performance. Sing on brother, oh yeah sing, sing, sing!! Theo Kgapola {Benoni}

His voice sends me.....
I feel like the pianist understands how much I love Gregory Porter's voice
Chip Crawford's been with GP for pretty much his whole career since the first album.
He knows he's there to carry that velvet voice, not drown it out.
I love his voice also. So unique and different. He tears this song up! I love it!!!
He was born to accompany Porter
The way the pianist kept looking at Porter, he truly understood the moment
This guy really owns it.
In this crazy world Gregory Porter brings some peace and beauty. Thank you.
So true
Half of the joy of listening to Gregory Porter is getting to hear Chip Crawford playing piano.
his voice is liquid velvet
Liquid Spirit
MY REPLY!
Luid velvet
OMG - A True Balladeer Thank God for men who can actually sing with words you can understand. Thank you Gregory for sharing your gift

Gregory voice is like liquid gold.
He never disappoints with covers. This man is SOUL
Easily one of the finest voices I've ever heard. A timeless voice, and the classiest performer in the industry today.
That voice sends me to somewhere wonderful!
Gregory is amazing! Chip Crawford on piano represents Raleigh, NC in the finest style!
A super talent!!!
This is sooooo beautiful...I want this version for my wedding.
Sing Mr. Porter!!!!

See this man live if you can. A wonderful wonderful performer.
For definite - this voice goes even further in a live setting. Seen him every time he's been here in Toronto, and I can't wait to see him hopefully this July!
I'd love to!❤
It's nice that people still remember and appreciate the forgotten legends such as sam cooke
He has given me hope that their is still good singers in this world instead of the crap that is normally peddled out by the money making machines and so called 'talent' shows. Talent? My Arse!
I want to be woken up with this song every day, please.
I love this man's voice and his original songs, like Insanity both versions, his alone and with Lelah Hathaway. Love his music.
I couldn't love this more and I'm a huge Sam Cooke fan. Even trying to cover a Sam Cooke song takes stones. Mr. Porter absolutely killed it.
It took me a long time to find you. But it's okay because I've needed you most these last couple years. Thank you for reminding me there's still a heart behind the brick walls I've had to build. You Send me back to who I am.
What a way to pay dues to Same Cooke, great job Mr. Porter-- you can really blow! Love it !
Well that was one of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard. So soothing and mellow.
Beautiful version of this classic Sam Cooke song. Resurrected many of those little hairs on the back of my neck.
Tmu are indeed my generations version of my fav artist of all time..Mr Sam cooke....this ia like dream😊❤❤..i love u 2024
Beautiful wish I could meet this great singer ... Just dreaming now lol

When did you learn

His voice is pure Heavenly
My My this take me back. As one would say something never get old
this is an amazing cover I love Gregory's voice it's beautiful, This is a travel song for me on the train
You kill me softly with the intro of the bass guitar. The only other person I knew who was complemented by such great guitar play was Barry White
A voice from heaven.....
Oh dear this is so unbelievably lovely, sweet and emotional, I feel like a softcake for loving this so much!
I love how Chip looks so pleased with himself at the end of the performance. And so he should be.
One of the best voices in Jazz. Love this performance. Well done Gregory Porter.
This man's voice has my heart beating...................gorgeous
Amazingly soulful and beautiful! Sam Cooke and Gregory Porter, that's all.
How can such a simple ballad written in the mid 1950s be still so potent nearly 70 years later.
Sam must have had a spiritual inspiration to pen down this one.
Sweet voice
I've been a fan for 2yrs and I've lost my soul to his voice. That is a great sin and a blessing.
His Voice is Truly.. A Time Machine ❤
love love anything sung by Gregory
I cannot think of anybody that can sing this song as well as Sam Cooke-I love me some ‘Gregory Porter’
Otis Redding and Aretha Franklins’ versions up there! Jose Feliciano not bad either.
For God's sake; put this on Spotify!
Such a beautiful song i didn't think anyone could sing this better than Sam Cooke , amazing job

Let's hope so. But I need more evidence before I can believe it we can finally come out of the long musical desert.
AjSjMusicNYNJ good singing has never gone away radio stations just don't play it lalah Hathaway for example peace
Let us pray!
Please can someone enlighten me why there are 12 thumbs down on this?? I'm kinda hoping it's a mistake an the 12 was actually meant to give it a thumbs up.if not consider my mind blown!!
+Jamie Skelton crazy... bieber fans? ;-)
+Daniel Evans I was thinking the same thing. They only have thumbs.
+Jamie Skelton In the words of Alfred, "Some men just want to watch the world burn".
Low self-esteem people hate to see other people shine.
Many reasons, but I feel it's people who are full of self hate stuck listening to pop music made in the boardroom and not in a proper studio with real song writers and actual musicians...but that's my guess.
