Most may not know the level of skill to play bass and sing. Respect.

[@johaunZ]

we need more people like Abraham. He and the others from Koinonia changed how i listened and viewed music, and worshiped the one and only true God. Thank you Abraham.

[@noahdanaj5217]

Abraham has being killing since over 7decades and he still the man...Living Legend hands up pops...

[@BDGGaddie]

I love seeing Abe Laboriel play along with his son on drums.

[@YogaArmy]

I love Abe! I was blessed with the opportunity many times while I worked at Ocean Way Recording "back in the day" 80s / 90s to work with Abe on many sessions. Abe was ALWAYS so cool and chill. We would always have interesting conversations while I mic'd his equipment and did the set up. Sometimes with Vinnie Colaiuta we had a blast. Both are true Gentlemen and some of the greatest talents. I just love Abe. God Bless him :)

[@michaeleastwood6755]

My fav Bass guitarist of all time... love his playing.

[@brigadiersmart3748]

You are amazing father, brother and a leader. I seriously wish i was this talented as you.. Hey brother, keep doing it and keep leading people to Christ and kids off the streets. You're such a blessing to us all.

[@Joesfosterdogs]

LOVE that low bass note...need that in my life. Abe Sr the bomb...so fluid...deep soul.

[@wagmorebarkless2579]

Hot Damn! What a killer tune, band, and groove - I can't think of a better example of how important the doctrines 'less is more' and 'play the spaces' are. Nobody over-plays on this tune, and tension created by use of dynamics and respecting the spaces of the groove is amazing. The ending is a small wonder - not only does Laboriel teach the chorus to the audience - he then lets them solo (over some fairly intricate changes)!!! I am one impressed puppy - four paws up!

[@afarongordon]

Abraham is such a legend. I used listen to him a kid.

[@Boogalooonetheone]

Abraham Laboriel is a living Legend. I've seen him in Paris - France 20 years ago. He still got it ! A great groove and technique but always using with musicality and heart ! He's such a nice person, and it's being reflected in his music.

[@Socasmx]

This is the message we need in 2020/2021.

[@JesusHernandez-dg3bg]

Just Found out he is a Mexican Brother...

[@FilipeVidalVideos]

What a wonderful human being ... what a magnificent bass player ! Best regards from Portugal!

[@ozzysig]

Sometimes i get frustrated on my way learning to play bass but songs like this artist like Abraham make me remember how wonderful is keep practicing

[@nasticanasta]

Love this humble giant..great musician!

[@BlaireBustillo]

One of the greatest bass player of all times. :D

[@alejandroherrera2032]

Abraham lo máximo,como bajista y vocal,y el batero ni se diga,que sabor!!

[@johnnymireles5373]

I agree, this is genuinely REAL! its coming from the heart n soul n not capital, but for the love of people, and the arts....

[@hectorlewis5017]

Abraham sir ! I am your big fan since the nineties.... thank you for continuing inspiring. And this song speaks to the heart. Thank you ! A legend always !!!

[@Schnitzelwirt4life]

i like how the drummer feels his instrument

[@howardsteinberg8384]

The most inspiring song I've seen , Abraham Laboriel Sr. is one of the reasons I'm studying Music and playing Bass .thank you 4 sharing this grate man, his team was grate as well. Thank u ,Howard

[@PorchBass]

Always with Laboriel - look at his huge hands! the bass shrinks under his mighty touch

[@GraceForlu]

BEAST. Absolutely Love This Man And His Skills. Great Instrumentlists His Sons Are Too.

[@katherinevalencia4676]

stunning, outrageous....utterly unique

[@aurelio1204]

Mateo Laboriel stole the show, brilliantly! I've seen Abe Sr. and Jr. play together live several times at Baked Potato back in the early 00's. Never have I felt so 'at home' with watching videos of the Laboriels as during Mateo's solo. It's amazing to see this family playing together. They should record and post more sessions together, for the benefit of us all!

[@sergiolalaian1558]

Simply unreplaceable talent and charisma.

[@josephlopez4871]

That first lick he put on the bass at the opening song said it all....wicked amazing

[@draknagar]

Great person with a rock solid deep and at the same time funky bass. Very few bassist play horizontally as well as vertically. He is equally balanced up and down the neck. Seeing his work, he is highly under-rated bass man as well as musician. Perhaps paying the price for being simple & honest and not being glamorous.

[@misslou5831]

"Listen to your Brother" !!! (A. Laboriel Sr.) Fabuleux.

[@snerp]

I'm diggin it, and so are the musicians...just look at those expressions of joy!

[@georgedureke.youtube]

Incredible dexterity in plucking bass guitar strings. Simply amazing!

[@megabyteproductions7736]

Truth be told Hallelujah! My brother... Yes I stood up, yes I sang along, hands raised to the sky...👐 Patried hard while you musically, soulfully testified lyrically, Yep! Be safe my brother✌😇💜

[@michaelfindley5857]

This dude is just all over the place! I love it! No wonder he's the most used studio bassist!

[@tibase]

seldom seen anyone being more authentic and emotional in doing his thing. Impressing...wondeful...powerfull. Message comes over

[@BradleyThomasbassman]

A much needed gospel in these times.

[@will57950]

Wow, this groove, this voice... I only discovered him tonight... but he's amazing Oo He's realy full of humility and humanity... That's wonderful...

[@AnitaBeerstein]

This is fantastic. Absolute legend.

[@juarezoliveira6866]

Não há nada tão lindo como ver alguém fazendo o que ama fazer. Abraham Laboriel e um gigante da música!

Abraham is one of the best bass players of all time, and by the way the drummer is Jr.

[@aubergine28]

The laboriels' blood cells must be "note-shaped" awesome music as always! I also love their energy and joy in playing. 🔥🔥🔥

[@OPTIONALWATCH]

This is a heavy weight in the music industry. A.L. has been around forever. Most people have heard him in big hits, they just don't know it is him who put that killer bass line.

[@DavidGardel]

Gran talento de este hermano en Cristo y además de mi mismo ranchito .

[@antonialopes7596]

Monstros da música!!!! Ufasssss é muito bom ouvir!

[@ruthlessadmin]

It's nice to see a bored guitarist while the bassist is the star for a change. I don't normally listen to this style of music, but now I"m thinking I probably should :D Modern rock/contemporary bass lines bore me to tears..

[@solarr2297]

Wow! BeAuTiFuL
