      the intro mimics his musical style visually. the inserts elucidate his picks and pace out the rest of the video. if there was "nothing special" it would be a singular take with just him talking. watch the other videos in this series, all of them are incredibly well "cut" and significant for each artist.

    That pretty dope that his music transcends gospel, and classical pianists and of course Outkast and other house music, with a nod to Drake for his flow on the songs he makes. Totally not what I was expecting but even more respect for his range of music. Super cool to hear what he picked up.

  • @hugotreger2181
    @hugotreger2181 5 років тому +4

    Thank you James for James Cleveland & The Angelic Choir. Pretty amazing gospel music, with everything that I like in gospel: A Choir and an amazing baritone singer, it's mostly upbeat with that gospel-swing that I like so much. And that organ, bluesy and improvising around the melody.! Lovesongs for the Lord from a Baptist church in 1962.
