- I combined the 2 videos of this epic performance of "Wonderful is Your Name" into one, in order to preserve the best elements of both the video and audio available. I love seeing the expressions and interaction between Cory and the drummer as well as the people watching nearby and in the crowd. Also you can hear the bass pedals much better on this version. :-)

no joke ive seen this video at least 300 times
Me too!! 😂
its so good
Same here
You have good taste in music then!
Haha it’s really sick Cory is from another planet
Big props to the disciplined drummer! Sometimes it's more important to know when not to play as it is when to play. Great job of support Mr. Drummer. I hope you get plenty of work.
Thats right🙌
completely agree... what a groove and discipline to let Cory Henry shine and do his fantastic thing, but then also these subtle little hi-hat fills. Does his name show up somewhere?? Anyway: what a performance, the power of music in all senses!
James Robinson Jr. He’s truly underrated but this clip is witness to his mastery...
Who is the drummer
EXACTLY
My son passed away and this is soothing comfort for me, and Cory and the drummer how mercy lord❤
I wish you strength and love.
This will NEVER get old. Cory Henry is literally the best organist on Earth.
I seem to watch this two to three times a year since it was posted And say the same exact thing every time I watch it… 🙌🏿💪🏿
@@SoothingSoundz98 I keep coming back. Dude is incredible...
it's unbelievable. at 3:07 you can almost hear a soloist singer, and then a whole choir joining in behind them in Cory's notes.
It played tonight in my mind and I’m here again and I’m still getting the same goosebumps I got the first time I heard this❤️
The way Cory didn’t end on the tonic, made me think that there was a deeper meaning to it. A symbol of no end. Even though Melvin passed, his music will allways live. Rest in Piece!
If be ended on the tonic that ending would've sounded contrived and forced. Just because he didn't go all the way back to Bb doesn't mean it wasn't resolved
Wow someone's got perfect pitch
@@uncomfortableshirt3870 no, it most certainly isn't resolved. By definition, that harmonic progression that Cory played is unresolved in a harmonic sense.
The Ending progression was Melvin's Signature Chord progression move that he recorded with James Hall; which is popular in gospel music circles. Cory played Melvins sigutuare move as the ending..that's why he was overcome by emotion at the end.
Charles Stevenson Nice obervation! I didn’t even think about that, hahah. That just goes to show how talented Cory Henry is implementing it in the end.
Cory and this drummer turned this into Jordan and Pippen.
Yes! Lol
Absolutely didn’t overly play stayed at the same tempo 💯🔥
EXACTLY
Black guy in the right corner epitomizes the schooling everyone here got! Lol. This is superhuman ability! Wow!
Excellent analogy Brother!!!
I've discovered something you might also have noticed. Hearing Cory Henry play jazz makes me want to focus on the music, but hearing him play gospel makes me want to read the comments. There's something about the community of gospel, the affirmations, the choirs, it just makes me want to hear everybody's joy in the comments. It's a minor miracle to find a happy comments section, but the gospel ones never fail.
JESUS IS LORD and HE makes the difference! 🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️
I've NEVER seen a musician with such an overwhelming command of the instrument. Not only he plays the Hammond organ like no one else , but just look at all that switching and expression twists while playing.... jaw dropping !
He was born for this. There's a video of him playing the organ at age 4. Musical genius.
The fact that's so wild to me is how he uses both preset changes and individual and group drawbar changes. I can't tell whether he's just going back and forth between the "b" and "b flat" preset keys to switch between one set of drawbars and the other, or also other presets.
He's juggling a lot of drawbar positions in his head, whichever.
It's funny, I can't even do quick drawbar changes on my M3 because there's so much dust in the contacts that if you're not careful you'll break a drawbar's circuit and mute that harmonic. It's especially bad on the 16'' drawbar for the upper manual.
But if I could I can't imagine being able to do such fluid changes in time with the music.
He didn’t resolve the song at the end...says a lot! The songs not done. Melvin’s music lives on.
He did though
@@uncomfortableshirt3870 No, he indeed left it unfinished...there should have been a last bit there, but he left it out. Absolutely wonderful playing though!
@@uncomfortableshirt3870 He ended on a sus4 chord. Giving it the feeling of still needing one more note. Feels unfinished
@@kevindurant228 @Joeshmo sounds to me like he resolved on the Eb, maybe an inversion. But out of that progression it seemed to feel like a resolved cadance to some extent. I think the chord before it was a type of Bb inversion leading into the Eb, at least that's what I heard out of my phone.
Uncomfortable Shirt It was left unresolved.
That security usher tried to hold it in.... but couldn't!! Love it!!
Really
Actually I think he’s their organist.
That’s PJ Morgan, one of the baddest organists in the industry next to Cory
@@Solodapper I think he's talking about the one to the right of the organ, near the cross.
nahn111 Again... that is Gospel recording artist and well known DMV musician, PJ Morgan.
@@Solodapper sorry about that :)
it looks like there are multiple PJ Morgans out there, and only this one is in the video.
I’m a catholic living in Britain and I can say there’s something about how these American Baptists worship god which genuinely make you feel like you are in the presence of god and I only have love and respect for that
There are several Christian denominations in America. This one is COGIC (Church Of God In Christ - a Pentacostal denomination) music. You have not lived until you've experienced a real live Pentecostal church in America.😊
@@antoniamiller-matthews6179 VERY WELL PUT
Actually we are the true children of Israel descendants of those brought to America by way of cargo ships.. and we were forced into Christianity.. and created a sound in music, singing etc. That all Nations admire, mimic, imitate.. we have a spirit that can never be duplicated .
We are a special people deuteronomy 7:6
Black people believer are heavily anointed, period
Nice comment but not all Americans are Baptists. Crispell and most of these organists are from the COGIC tradition. Secondly it is interesting how you ensure that you spelt Britain with a capital "B" yet you wrote "God" twice with a common "g". Interesting!
Man. Out of BILLIONS of UA-cam videos, this is one of the ones I keep coming back to. As a musician myself this is absolutely beautiful how this man gets possessed and doesn’t even have to look at the keys at all. The spirit guides his fingers. Wow man… Words are not enough for this man.
cory is amazing but i'm loving that drummer in that pocket. sheesh! locked in!
Tawp _Heavy pocket so tight.
And he had nothing to prove. Stayed in pocket and never went above and beyond trying to out play Corey now he’s in a classic video that will live on foreva 💯💪🏿🔥
@@bigmark7807 absolutely! i saw your reply. posted the original comment 1 year ago. noticed some things upon rewatch. a good drummer can also take direction without ego getting in the way. serving the music is top priority. thank you for replying if only to remind me to practice tomorrow!!! thank you, brother!
My guy had that shit on lock
as a staunch atheist, this is how you get me to go to church.
Is your name bob
Same here Zac, I'm not a believer as well, only the organ and the organ only us what I ever liked about church lol
I agree sooo much! Im a Staunch AF Athiest... shame this guy wastes his time with god... at least he’s playing music there 🤦🏻♂️
@@lukebottomleysound Agreed asf! 👌🎯
LOL
The music is coming out of him the organ is just amplifying it
I just come back to listen to this masterpiece every once in a month
We all do bro… this is indeed a masterpiece
here once again…
Same
Gosh, this never gets old. Just a genius arrangement.
Peace . I remixed a part of this. EVERYTHING was done on my iPad...no mic or nothing m.ua-cam.com/video/DVoVgaX_-3E/v-deo.html
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Chapter by Chapter / Verse by Verse !!!!!!! Amen
!!!
😂😂😂
@@tabathastaples7884 ú know please ok ī/?)p phone in
The complete silence of the audience, right after the last tone, says is all. Absolutely beautiful.
Do not tell me Jesus is not real - this is gospel without the words!!! praise be his name!!!
That's right! Amen!
Amen
Yes Lord. So much better than modern worship music
Talento insubestimável, está abençoado...obrigado Deus!
Jesus is real !!!❤❤❤
can't count how many times ive watched this, how unbelievably lucky everyone that experienced this live
Niiiiiiice Mr drummer. Understanding it's Coreys moment and supporting it. Nice touch bro. U'll stay workin w/ that mentality.
Made it worth listening to.
Absolutely bro. So many drummers would have went off , he never played above his means salute to the drummer for let Corey minister to us 💪🏿💯
Stayed in pocket
Mostly definitely. A lot of drummers are not disciplined in music and don't understand how to play with the band; not over the band
theshipissinking no eee
This drummer is disciplined
This drummer laid a solid foundation for the sensational and anointed pianist. What a delight to the soul. ❤
I watch this video whenever I need a spiritual reset... which is pretty much daily
Thanks to all you wonderful people this video has reached 1M views!
Peace . I remixed a part of this. EVERYTHING was done on my iPad...no mic or nothing m.ua-cam.com/video/DVoVgaX_-3E/v-deo.html
I needed this! This is playing as I go to sleep
Thanks for uploading! A bit more than a mil at this point 😁
Thanks for posting this!
thank you for uploading
He loved his mentor so much.
When his fingers touch those keys, it's nothing but anointing coming out. Musicians like him are rare gems. 🎹🎶💯
3:08-3:34 is the single greatest line I have ever heard in my entire life
that's gospel
I agree!!!💯
it feels timeless
Not the next 10 seconds?! #trippin
That's the highlight of the video for me. The most simplest, yet the most powerful.
Such an inspiration! I tried understanding why he didnt resolve that last chord and figured out that he was just too torn to do so. To end that progression wasnt right. It's like a message that Melvin still lives on. Much respect.
Actually you are incorrect. Melvin crispbell ended one of his songs that same way.
@@angelawhitlock962 Which song?
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
All the experts in the comments
🤦🏿♂️ 🤦🏿♂️ 🤦🏿♂️
@@batemapa The song is “For Your Name is To Be Praise” by James Hall. Melvin does this ending at the very end of the song
yeah and it was so jazz aesthetic..so miles Davis!..and so pentecostal holiness at the same time
For those of us who've watched and marvelled at this video thousands of times, my next-best enjoyment comes from looking at a different face in the congregation each time; you can tell just how emotive and musical this tribute was, and how it affected everyone there.
Musicianship of the absolute highest calibre, and a fitting tribute.
The fact that the drummer kept up with him, having not rehearsed any of that was impressive
Would go to church every Sunday if I got to hear this.
no matter how many times i watch this, it still sends chills down my spine.
Why did this make me tear up!? 🥺 Whoa! It was jazz, funk, soulful, AND anointed. Wonderful is your name!
Its like its a living breathing entity he is coaxing emotions out of. Never have I heard a keyboard played with such vibrancy. He is a true wonder. Highly recommended: On his channel it shows him playing when he's 4. He had more harmonic intuition than most adults playing for decades. Its the most shocking display of overt talent any keyboardist has ever demonstrated anywhere. Its utterly eerie when you realize what he's doing. I believe that if he had been ingrained in structured music lessons it might have easily destroyed this effortless spontaneity we see here and that is appreciated by so many today. Parents beware of not letting your child take charge with their instrument.
FACTS!
It's this freaky once in , who knows, I've never heard it at such a skilled level. He has no barrier of limitations in emoting through his instrument which is why everyone practices. He was born no barrier just sing through instrument but on top his influences Glenn gould , ray Charles, Oscar Peterson he's got all that knowledge and logic the way Gould understood Bach he understands soul/emotions through instrument again because he's been doing it since two. I like how he essentially composes solos but in a jazz groove style. It's just such a fascinating genre hes exploring. I understand he doesn't like to categorize coming from gospel background but imo it's an insane form of jazz he's navigating. His muscle memory on b3 is just beyond lol.
@@ryanphelan6861 Well said!
1:41 That percussion ads so incredibly much to the performance in whole. Cory's playing is masterful in every way. The Hammond organ was invented solely for this particular moment in time.
Playing the organ like that is a true God's gift.....
ABSOLUTELY
Yessir
No, it's years and years and years of dedicated practice.
The sweetest part 3:39. I played it over and over again.
nukeman444 exactlyyyyyy
Like HEARING a rainbow
I barely comment on videos, but man… those last set of chords 😮💨. Great job to the drummer as well 👏🏽Praise God! ✝️
I can't stop playing this. I LOVE the interaction and the energy from not just Cory but the whole church. It gives me hope, it brings me joy and I hope it does to all. We got this!
Thank you Cory Henry.
Hello Debbie
I watch this every morning. Awesome way to start my day.
Same here!
same
Still?
@@samuelcunningham4860 YES! :D
Me Too! Can't get Enough!!! Woke me Up This and Every Morning and Starts me On My Way!!!! Errrrrryday!💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see. This is genius.
Love this!
The more I watch, the more I love this performance.
5:18 is unreal.
I honestly didn’t want him to stop playing. I literally had goosebumps. This man is a legend
This remains one of the brightest, deepest, and most emotional tributes of all time. I can't stop listening to this.
indeed man.
It literally brings tears to my eyes. Not even gonna lie
Everytime I listen to it, the unfinished ending sounds more complete everytime.
Drummer is a beast! We know Cory has chops but that drummer has to get props for stupid pocket
Probably the most talented Keyboard player of his generation? Hahaha!!! There's no doubt about it. Cory has been doing this since he was knee high to a grasshopper. And there's video evidence on UA-cam to corroborate this fact.
This humble young man is truly a gift from The MOST HIGH!!
Red Clay I just said the same thing before I saw your comment God Have Truly blessed Him
He is one of my favorite key players in existence.. but he is not very humble haha
@@uncomfortableshirt3870 how is he not humble?
@@Yung-Cook is that a real question?
Yess him Vaughn Keys and Travis Sayles
never stepped foot in a church in my life, but boy was this awesome to listen to.. thank you!
There are some things that man can not teach. Mr. Henry has a gift from God. The way he ended, reminded me of the late Miles Davis. Miles Davis did not talk to his audience, all he did is laid it in your lap and vanish. 6/20/2020. Happy Birthday to myself. Thank you Lord for blessing me to see another one. And if it is your will, I'll see many more. Amen Amen and Amen.
I’m still playing this everyday!
Same here. Daily dose of this piece of art!
i never heard a organ sound like that , he powerful,
Something different about the black church. How the audience responds to specific niche things in unison is something that goes beyond even my perception of what reality is. Henry's accents are bringing something magnificent out of these parishioners that I'm still trying to figure out. I'm just blown away by the whole thing to be honest.
Gosh the drummer seriously did soooo goood! Perfect!!!
3:26 the guy at the back was like: Oh stop it Cory 😂
This may be one of the greatest moments in music...nay, human history. All is left on the floor. Nothing left to give. And literally left unresolved. This is a human pouring out every ounce of his soul, intellect, talent, and being in honor of someone he loved deeply. If ever I doubt myself, feel sadness or despair, THIS is the spiritual experience I turn to for resolve. Cory delivers. For all of us.
I almost cried reading your comment... so it is confirmed. Love this song
chills
What a comment!
What a great summation in the truth of love....
bro you put it into words thankyou
Just here for my daily listen. Y’all be blessed!
Dude snapped he knows how to work that organ a whole another era
You get the sense that the crowd appreciates Cory's playing....
The crowd full of musicians. Melvin Crispell was a legend in gospel music and had so many influences on what is played today
marquita dunn yes!
I love how they respond to those musical flashes of genius.
Yeah. Just a lil bit... lol
I listen to this video at least 5 times a day and it never gets old
The eye and ear contact of both musicians was impeccable, their boom,boom, bap cadence infectious and carried the melody to a different realm, would love to see Hezekiah Walker somehow insert this tribute to Melvin onto one of his tracks
Let's not forget the person on the percussion.
Playing like he should. Most people wont even know he was there! Everyone's talking about the drummers pocket but man his was crazy!
Silent jammer
Both of them are actually playing percussion instruments😉🤫😎👍🏿
Man
Thanks you !
I thought i was the only non-normal focused by the way the percussionniste was playing.
Oh lord ... See how he uses the shake for the breakdown.
@@cesleybarnes1740 not trying to be stupid here, I genuinely don't know. Where is the percussionist?
On another planet, I could study for 72 hours a day for 20 years, and still...... not be able to touch this dudes aura. Absolutely amazing!
That's what absolute mastery looks, sounds and feels like.
Melvin was the reason why I started playing the keys he taught me some churchy and some slow songs and others but rip gone miss u greatest organ player☝👏🙌😭☺
Needed to add some lift to my day... came here to watch this.... again.... for about the 50th time. ✌🙏
I love how the crowd responds to every musical flash. The crowd understood and loved the tastefulness of all that spice.
Love from west coast. I love how everybody reacts everytime he flips the chord structure. You have to really know the original progressions to appreciate. Hezekiah walker got like 4 huhnned staple gospel songs😂 growin up in cali, hez was my fav NY gospel sound out of all the choirs to come out NY
He's a genius. Bless this man
I never heard of this guy, just popped up in my feed, I was in tears listening to this, such a total natural talent, that is amazing....
I've watched this 5 times this week.
I cannot believe that this isn’t more famous. Nothing in the entire sphere of music and art has inspired me more than this in my life. I watch this every single time I feel down, when I feel tired of living life the same old way. It reminds me that there’s something different to this place, and it’s just right there along with us. Something bigger waiting to come through us and bring love into the world.
I’m not comfortable with the church, the word god or the things that have happened in my life around the church. But I do believe in what religions are trying to express.
I believe in that force coming through Henry, and if that’s not what god is then I don’t think I understand life.
You should probably watch Lingus, by Snarky Puppy. The solo from Cory in that song is considered one of the top key solo's in jazz.
@@keesketsers5866 I got to his solo at 10:10 on this version of it: ua-cam.com/video/m33Yv594iGI/v-deo.html
Absolutely blew my face off. Thanks for the recommendation. Loved it.
Well said my friend
He made the keys roar like a leopard @1:11
dharo12 It’s one of my favorite technique from organists
Velly Derival what it’s called?
@@ottatarrega4011 he doesn't know
This will forever be Sunday mood
This guy is the most underrated talent in history. See how humbled he looked. God willing in the nearest future, when technology, creativity and content creation increases this video will resurface.
God bless this organist for such a dedication to his art. I wonder what his motivation was🤔
This comes into your recommendation after 5 years
That last part got him, and me too... 😭😭😭
Whole percussion team went crazy on this ... dwade and Bron on this joint.
I can’t stop watching this...how I would’ve loved to see this live! This video plays in my head even when I’m not watching.
It’s the liberty he takes at 2:49 for me. As a singer it is just liquid gold.
That little jazz progression at 2:15 is absolutely awesome 👍👍
Professionalism all around. Drummer...PROPS. You knew your place and you stayed there and still was crushing. WOW. And well..Cory...is Cory. Studio ready just as is. Hard to find musicians that know there place......Old school and just plain professional. You can still shine when you are not doing too much. Can't say enough about the drummer. This younger generation need to look, listen and learn. Crazy good on everything. As many times I have seen this it continues to brighten my day and refreshes me from all of these young musicians that can play but don't know there place. Look, Listen and Learn.
🔒🥁
Have watched in years, but this is truly one of the best performances
5:35 The way he changes the tone of the organ takes breath from my lungs every time.
And "THE DRUMMER" ALSO 🥁🔥👍👏!
1:22 to 1:25 has anyone transcribed these chords OMG - See the reaction too.
and 1:50 , 1:55 - Love that chord he holds. 2:55 too. 3:40 . 4:46 . 5:00 to 5:28 OMG. 5:34 what an ending and that last chord - love it.
I listen to this everyday!!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💯
I've stopped count how many times I've watched this. What can you say about Cory Henry that hasn't been said before? This man is truly touched by God. Shout out to the drummer too. What a tribute. Rip Melvin Crispell.
I’ve lost count too!
This guy is reckon to be played with!!! Truly a serious beast! I know Mr Crispell appreciated that from heaven!
I can't take credit for this but someone wrote ~ "On the 8th day, God created the Hammond Organ.." YES SIR! Awesome job Cory!!
LOL, I thought you were gonna say, "On the 8th day, God created Cory Henry, seated at a Hammond organ." :-)
reminds me of a variation I heard in a Pentecostal church once, "the Holy Spirit can't move until the Leslie speaker starts to rotate..."
I discovered this video 3 years ago and must have watched it 100 times or more (I can't stop!!!), Corey's hands have been blessed by God, there is no other explanation......he is straight FIRE!!!!!!!!!
Cory Henry is a national treasure and MUST be protected
perhaps the finest of all time man.. Cory is really not joking around music. He's a hero. A gifted person in so many ways.
June 2nd, 2020... During the riots.. And This is still comforting 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wasn't raised in a church like this but Cory's got me singing to songs I don't even know rn. you can't help but shout to this music. it's godly
What is remarkable in this black congregation is the level of musical involvement you see here. Cory is burrowing into their very soul and letting their inner voice sing with joy. Such a special moment to witness. Truly by the grace of God we have talent like this we can experience.
Ok, I'm gonna make a long comment for this.
I'm very grateful that I'm still alive, becoming one of millions of people who watch and listen to this, and still have a chance to witness this. Very skillful, with lots of soul and emotions, well crafted, the message of the music is well delivered even though it's just instrumental. Call me whiny, but I'm teary (tears of joy, for sure) watching this, and still feel the same even though I watch this like thousand times. To Taylor Mesple, thank you for uploading this. :D
Making music sounds so rich and complete in a very pocket way is not everybody's thing, especially using only one or two instrument. Usually most people need extras like sound effect, choirs, or more instruments to make it full and feel complete. because there is so much space to be fulfilled: skills, emotions, honesty, message of the songs, etc. That goal, in my opinion, is what every musician should reach. Cory got it. Cory nailed it. A very big props to you.*standing ovation
Also, shout out to every musicians in the world who always want to present their art with honesty. You'll be surprised by listener's reaction when you present your art with honesty in it. :D
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I swear this never gets old to me! If I wasn't married I would be following him everywhere! He makes that damn organ talk! Literally!
I love BLACK FOLK. Our Spirit like no other.
Everytime i come back to this performance i get the chills!!!!
Absolutely out of this world! 🙏🙌
