I love seeing Louis growing into his role more and more. Jon left big steps to fill, but this is just developing beautifully 🥰 Merry Christmas to the team!
Louis and the band are one of the best parts of the show, love all of them. Louis is such a wonderfully talented musician, and Nega on percussion lights up everything ❤
How amazing is this band to be able to move nearly seamlessly from being lead by Jon Baptiste to Louis Cato and all the other amazing musicians on the team?
I never believed anyone could fill Jon's shoes. I was so wrong. Luis, you are a master and I am moved to tears of joy from this soulful performance by you and the entire band. I applaud your ability to share the stage without hogging the spotlight. It makes you stand out that much more. Great music from a great band and a great leader. Thank you for this lovely gift.
So beautifully done- so inspiring! Such a talented band of musicians. Louis Cato is amazing! When I clicked on this… I had no idea that this was originally recorded by Stevie Wonder, 1960s. Listening to Cato sing immediately reminded me of Stevie Wonder. So I read through the comments and learned this Christmas song is indeed from Stevie Wonder. More praise to Louis Cato !!
This performance is a prime example of how music transcends everything else and reaches directly into the heart. Everyone who took part in this hopefully feels a deep sense of pride for creating a magical moment.
Louis has such a wonderful voice and his spirit and soul come through when he sings. I work in retail and don’t much care for most Christmas music but it’s different when it’s done in such a way that touches my heart. Beautifully done and brought a little magic (and some tears lol) to my morning. 😊🥹Thank you. I wish the entire staff a wonderful and magical holiday break and will eagerly be waiting to welcome them back to my morning routine after the holiday break. ❤❤❤
This was beautiful! What a perfect choice of song! And the choir, that BAND, the solo riffs - it was perfect and the best musical gift of the year. Thanks, LOUIS, band, Stephen, CBS, all y’all! Merry Christmas!
Such a beautiful rendition! Louis, you are truly a transmitter of Light, and it is an absolute joy to hear everyone else on stage shine along with you!
Thank you. I had never before heard Lewis Cato and the Late Show Band perform a whole song. Thank you for a beautifully and tenderly sung Christmas gift to carry in my heart today.
Oh wow! That was so beautiful!! I don’t care for most Christmas music, but THIS is my new favorite. I plan to play this many times over the next two weeks, and in years to come. Thank you to the awesome Late Show Band and production team 💙🙏🏽💙
Thank you Louis Cato & the Amazing band. This filled me with such joy and reduced me to tears. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday , and May Peace & Joy prevail in the New Year. - Jacquie Earle
I never knew the band had such a latin salsa band sound to them! Wish I can see more of this band! Bravo to all the members and the choir! Beautiful job!

I absolutely LOVE this song and Louis Cato and the band's performance!!!! 💚💜💙 I have replayed it over and over every day. Thank you so much for this...I really needed it this week/year! I can't wait to see you in the New Year...hopefully one full of ACCOUNTABILITY. God Bless you all!!
What a wonderfully true voice Louis possesses. I knew he was a talented musician, but I had no idea. Every day I like this man more and more.
He really did justice to the way Stevie Wonder originally sung this song.
I always loved Jon Baptiste but Louis is a worthy successor! Way to go Louis
I was there in the studio and it was just magical!
And he’s a good dresser also

Perfect choice of song for these troubled times. I admit to a few tears being shed here. Absolutely beautiful performance and arrangement. Thank you ❤
