I met him in a hotel lobby in LA when I was doing a bass session with a band for a TV show spot. He was so gracious. He allowed me to take a photo with him.
I saw Gregory at the Mayflower theatre Southampton several years ago before his amazing talents were widely appreciated here. After the gig he was stood at the stand selling CDs and memorabilia, I joined the queue and when I got to the front of the line I said Sir I have all your albums but I just wanted to thank you for a fantastic evening. He looked a bit perplexed and then his face lit up and he just said Yeah real slow and with the widest friendliest smile as he shook my hand, not going to forget that any time soon.
Yes. I’m blessed to have been around him many times as I worked on the stage at a place he played several times. He is truly as nice as his voice. Really.
Music is universal i recently sang this song in Estonia and it was known crazy how music brings people together let it be known sing a song rather than fire a bullet its nicer and saves lives
@Semper fidelis Semper Paratus it isnt what English means its what all the top bands sing abba sang in English even though they didnt speak English its just the universal language and as far as Germany never had a problem they nearly all speak English even visitors from other countries were speaking English to able to corrispond
Was not expecting that. The very nice lady has a gifted voice and that duet was solid and beautiful. Mr. Porter you're a great vocalist. I love your runs and soulful tone slides. And of course the poetic poignancy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
That was wonderful, just wonderful to listen to. This lady complements all the singers she sings with on this show. I have not long come across this but love watching and listening 👍
Don't Be a Fool Songtext Don't be a fool Don't give your nights to someone else While giving days to those that really love you Don't be a fool like me And give your life to someone else While faking love to those who really love you Why couldn't I have realised The gravity of telling lies Who's weight now shoes upon your faceless mound I know your heart now and before But I won't do it anymore Trust in me and fall in love again Listen to these charms Cos' baby I'm not fooling And fall into these open arms of love Listen to these charms Cos' baby I'm not fooling And fall into these open arms of love Listen to these charms Cos' baby I'm not fooling around And fall into these open arms of love Why couldn't I have realised The gravity of tears in eyes Who's weight now shoes upon your faceless smile I broke your heart now and before But I won't do it anymore Trust in me and fall in love again Listen to these charms Cos' baby I'm not fooling And fall into these open arms of love Listen to these charms Cos' baby I'm not fooling And fall into these open arms of love Listen to these charms Cos' baby I'm not fooling around And fall into these open arms of love And fall into these open arms of love And fall into these open arms of love GREGORY YOU'RE JUST GREAT! Thank you for upload.
I think line nine may be wrong, or so it sounds to me. I think he sings ‘Who’s weight now shows upon your faceless smile.’ Either way it is sublime. Thank you for taking the time to write the lyrics out for us, though. Only trouble is when I join in I ruin everything! Peace and love to everyone in these crazy times.
Good advert for an universal world , such a lovely video , it absorbs understating and acceptance , nobody queries him speaking in a foreign language & everybody just enjoys the song . Which is a work of art
@Derrick Jensen Yes Sir I believe that Real Music can only come from the Soul . If you can make someone "Feel " the Music , then they will " Believe " the Music . He leaves absolutely no doubt to the listener , that he is singing a Real Life Experience. To be able to put your shortcomings down on paper , and then Sing them to the World , is a Gift to Humanity . Peace from America my Swedish Brother ☮️
Who is listening in 2019? Man this is bada$$. She has a really nice voice to compliment Greg and Chip Crawford on keys. Gregory Porter could sing a flight delay and he would get a standing ovation.
I would do anything to sing alongside this great man, even if it's just a chorus to one of his songs. Love the way he gives meaning to each and every word he sings. He is just great!!!!
Being native to Germany and bi-racial (German and African American), it makes me feel good to see how the German people still embrace real music. Unlike here in the States where appreciation for artists like Mr. Porter and for real music in general is no longer a concept.
Here's a man who knows how to sing from the deep foutain wells of his very soul!!! Every word is alive! This is why his songs sometimes moves to tears those who listen to them.
His vòice and range paint such a beautiful picture. Just take look at the expressions of the crowd, both inside and outside of of the bar. His voice has captured their rapt attention. I've never witnessed a group of people so still and totally enraptured by what they were hearing. GP made a new base of fans with one unforgettable song in an unforgettable place.
As long as we learn something from our mistakes , then all is not lost . We get up , clean up the mess we've made in our lives , and then move forward with the knowledge we gained . God Bless You ☮️
The best thing about this video is people enjoying the moment and not sticking their phone up to record it all!
Wow great observation, I didn't notice that
Wow. This man is one of the most beautiful, deep, singing voices God gave to humanity.
Yes!!!!
OMG I agree 😍
Agree 100 percent.
Gregory Porter is not just a great singer, he is a gentleman, too. Introducing his fellow musician, showing respect.
Yes he is. He is a very nice person.
Yes, and the solo on the piano is awesome, too! Serving the song.

I can only imagine how appreciative he was. Thank you for sharing that.
Lucky you ❤
Amazing experience!! Now is impossible to get tickets to see him🙏
Only the was a video/recording for that,so that you can show it to us and your children..lucky you
The ladies voice made the love song even more beautiful
I miss this kind of music

The two together is magical.
Gotta give the piano 🎹 man some love ❤️, he’s doing a excellent job!
Love this man. His voice is truly a divine gift to humanity.
I absolutely Love your description , " A Divine Gift to Humanity " . I could not think of a better way to describe his Magic !! God Bless You ☮️

My beautiful wife took me to see Gregory Porter last year for my birthday in Brighton in the UK. Ill never forget that evening.
One of the cleanest voices in the industry now.
music is not industry

And i love his high highest and lowest notes! what a range.
LuluKinyozi Beauty I’ve been trying to find the best word to describe his voice “cleanest” is it"...... Thank you 🥰
I will see him tomorrow LIVE
JUST CAN'T WAIT❤❤❤
Yes. I’m blessed to have been around him many times as I worked on the stage at a place he played several times. He is truly as nice as his voice. Really.
The crowd is spellbound. This is the dream of every performer. He is the singer's singer. The pureness is quite stunning.
What a fabulous duet! They harmonize perfectly.
He looks beyond my needs
He is so good and always gives his pianist a shout out. Thank goodness for the few blessings there are right now. Just love his stuff!
Only a great person would pause in the spotlight to recognize the greatness of others.

Yes my brother we may not understand all Languages but when it comes to music then speak out of one mouth ,THE WONDERS OF THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
Pure gold. Gregory Porter is the epitome of class, charm, and soul.
Unglaublich wie Ina auf jedes Lied in Weltklassemanier die zweite Stimme singt. Fantastisch
The blending of voices between the lady and Gregory is AMAZING!!
oh yes! she invites a lot of great singers to her show....
Absolutely fascinated. Smooth voices talking deep to the soul....❤
I don't really agree. She falls very short
Heartfelt lyrics written and sang by a genuine, humble man with a golden voice.
I love that he makes sure to include the pianist Chip Crawford in the introduction. This man is wonderful.
Wow, she surprised me there. Very good singer, and she held her harmonies perfectly. And I LOVE Greg Porter!!!
Gregory's voice manages so swiftly to create that internal sanctuary, you feel safe inside you own self!!! 👌
Great performance by his buddy on the keys, too 👍
MetaphorHipHop yeah Porter is always very careful to always introduce his fellow musicians, very humble
Chip Crawford is a boss on them keys
There is yet another proof that music is our universal language, and what a moving duet. Beautiful and so uplifting.
Brings tears to my eyes. Just awesome!
Just had some real chills when she joined in on the chorus!!
fantastic live performance by both
The lady from the thumbnail looked at him like the way I wish to be looked at. With love and adoration
Me tooo. you got the point. She is wonderfull, would love to know who she is.
@@simoesc This is Franziska van Almsick, a former german olympic swimmer :)
Absolutely brilliant! Love him and her voice is wonderful so beautiful.made me cry.
I love his music even better when Chip is playing Piano what a fantastic pianist could happily listen over and over again to every album
I LOVE Gregory Porter. What a wonderful stylist and singer.
Wow.....this lady has such a beautiful song. Gregory Porter....you still amaze me. Love your music
3:00 Chip Crawford is just exceptional. Great performance
Bravo ! Deeply moving and from the heart. A true artist. Love him !

Wow how perfect this is, beautiful,!!
What a beautiful voice, makes me melt away. 😘
This is what needs to be playing while eating Sunday dinner with your loved ones. This is soul food.

The world needs more of this...
Don't Be a Fool Songtext
Don't be a fool
Don't give your nights to someone else
While giving days to those that really love you
Don't be a fool like me
And give your life to someone else
While faking love to those who really love you
Why couldn't I have realised
The gravity of telling lies
Who's weight now shoes upon your faceless mound
I know your heart now and before
But I won't do it anymore
Trust in me and fall in love again
Listen to these charms
Cos' baby I'm not fooling
And fall into these open arms of love
Listen to these charms
Cos' baby I'm not fooling
And fall into these open arms of love
Listen to these charms
Cos' baby I'm not fooling around
And fall into these open arms of love
Why couldn't I have realised
The gravity of tears in eyes
Who's weight now shoes upon your faceless smile
I broke your heart now and before
But I won't do it anymore
Trust in me and fall in love again
Listen to these charms
Cos' baby I'm not fooling
And fall into these open arms of love
Listen to these charms
Cos' baby I'm not fooling
And fall into these open arms of love
Listen to these charms
Cos' baby I'm not fooling around
And fall into these open arms of love
And fall into these open arms of love
And fall into these open arms of love
GREGORY YOU'RE JUST GREAT! Thank you for upload.
Love
Thank you I’m singing already now I know wat to say
My 4 year old daughter snatched the phone off me and us mesmerised by this song I have to play it on repeat. ..just bliss
I think line nine may be wrong, or so it sounds to me. I think he sings ‘Who’s weight now shows upon your faceless smile.’

Good advert for an universal world , such a lovely video , it absorbs understating and acceptance , nobody queries him speaking in a foreign language & everybody just enjoys the song . Which is a work of art
Notice the attention of the crowd, how not one person is talking, never happen in the States
Yes , they were all Captured by the Soul that this Man wears on His sleeve . Stunning ☮️
@Derrick Jensen Yes Sir I believe that Real Music can only come from the Soul . If you can make someone "Feel " the Music , then they will " Believe " the Music .

Great observation
Thats basically how Germans are... They put their hearts n souls in things they love....
And as someone pointed out not one cell phone recording the moment instead just letting it happen.
Who is listening in 2019? Man this is bada$$. She has a really nice voice to compliment Greg and Chip Crawford on keys. Gregory Porter could sing a flight delay and he would get a standing ovation.
Tears. He is so artistically a genius. His tone reaches my soul..
2024
I like the fact that he always introduces his fellow members
I’m graced with witnessing the music Mr Porter delivers in several countries. What a performer.
I would do anything to sing alongside this great man, even if it's just a chorus to one of his songs. Love the way he gives meaning to each and every word he sings. He is just great!!!!
I just keep getting drawn back to this performance. Love it. Best version by a country mile :-)
I discovered him a few months ago and I am hooked! What a talent! I just want to see him in a live performance.
Beautiful !!! So good
I like Gregory Porter and nice duet
Last time I cried when Roger Cicero was there, now i cry because of your beautiful voices... thank you Ina, thank you Sir Gregory Porter
This is better than the album version. Really beautiful the two of their voices.
Yep! This is my favourite version 🎶
I saw him in ATL 5 yrs ago. Awesome and then some. I would do it again!!!
Und wieder.... Mir gehts einfach noch herzlicher um die Seele dabei... Werde es mir immer wieder anhören.. Danke fürs Zusammenkommen.....
You gotta love Gregory , was a melody and alway accompanied by great musicians!!!!
Listening to this has given me goose bumps
For me he is the best singer of all time. Backing vocals is superb. First time I have heard this song and it brought me to tears.
Love Gregory Porter and love the exuberant appreciation from the lady! Delightful!
beautiful. Thank God for real music.
Balsam für die Seele !
love it Gregor porter :)
Omg that Is just simply amazing x
Being native to Germany and bi-racial (German and African American), it makes me feel good to see how the German people still embrace real music. Unlike here in the States where appreciation for artists like Mr. Porter and for real music in general is no longer a concept.
I think me and a couple million other Americans would vigorously disagree with your statement Sir ☮️
Musik zum Träumen. Schon lange nicht mehr etwas so wundervoll Schönes gehört!!!
Great live duet.
Wunderschön gesungen. Danke!!
Mensch Ina - herrlich !!! Soetwas Schönes !! D A N K E !!
Here's a man who knows how to sing from the deep foutain wells of his very soul!!! Every word is alive! This is why his songs sometimes moves to tears those who listen to them.
So so so so....unbelievable....no words...thats awsome
God Says , quiet everyone , Gregory Porter is about to Sing , and Every Beautiful Soul in Heaven listens to This Beautiful Soul on Earth 💖
❤
This is the way we should be. Let the music bring us together. Friends
What a joy... you have renewed my faith in the the soulful humanity of music
His vòice and range paint such a beautiful picture. Just take look at the expressions of the crowd, both inside and outside of of the bar. His voice has captured their rapt attention. I've never witnessed a group of people so still and totally enraptured by what they were hearing. GP made a new base of fans with one unforgettable song in an unforgettable place.
I love her voice--and of course, Gregory’s. 💪😎
Wow...this is a beautiful beautiful duet......and don't they click!!!!!!
Фантастическая команда! Пианисту - огромное уважение! Грегори - бог!
What a lucky pub hearing this. Melts your heart. Wonderful. Look at all the people outside looking in, wishing they were inside. 💗🥰
A pure talent. It's a amazing how music doesn't have prejudice.
Holy smoke. I just heard Gregory sing this on WBGO. I was completely unaware of him. All those Grammies! Brand new fan, here.
Fantastic singer with an amazing voice too. What a song. Ina Müller has an amazing voice too.
discovered this man only last year.... I am a huge fan now
Did you check out performance at Polar Prize Concert for Sting?
Some people are here for a reason and he is here for what he does amen
Absolute favorite❤️
Saw him tonight in Toronto - what a privilege. What a voice God has given this man. Swoon!
What a performance! Love the singing, but the intermission at 3 mins is absolutely wonderful.
Literally every musician I know longs to be looked at during their performance the way that woman looked enthralled at him at 1:55 thru 2:00.
A beautiful duet..I keep coming back to.
Eine der schönsten Frauen Deutschlands - menschlich wie optisch - und die schönste Stimme Amerikas. Gänsehaut... Musik zum hineinlegen und genießen❤❤❤
ÜBERTREIBE NICHT. SIE KANN GUT SINGEN....ABER HÜBSCH IST SIE NICHT!
Just got to know the man but I am deeply impressed.That is pure talent at it's best 👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🇿🇲
Lovely. The harmony of those two voices is magical!
Damn…..this man is pure soul ❤️👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️💪🏼
This song is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard!
God this is STUNNING! xoxoxo
Outrageous...so Much love and art..and tears..
I've lived this mistake in life. I think i've learned my lesson and try to live the beauty of the truth in this wonderful song
As long as we learn something from our mistakes , then all is not lost . We get up , clean up the mess we've made in our lives , and then move forward with the knowledge we gained . God Bless You ☮️
What a voice, those days we don't hear voices like this that much, it's pretty rare in fact... Sad times... Thanks Mr Porter.
Einer der größten Stimmwunder der Jazz Soul und Blues Sänger.
Great Gregory, Chip Crawford, and the beautifully well sung host.
