Can we appreciate his Piano Skills

Yes! And we do.

[@nkagym9924]

amaaaaaazing!

[@jordanfrancisco27]

Them chords and voicings. Damn.

the fact that this man doesnt have a GRAMMY is an atrocity.

[@WalloIndacut]

Cause he didn’t sell out, you have to do some crazy things to win a grammy

[@TheGamingChapel]

but he has been nominated 17 times for one since 1993

[@LisaLisa-oy4ij]

Whaaaaat?

TRULY!

[@SamSilk]

These days, not having one is kind of a proof of talent considering who gets these.

[@2ManyGuitars214]

Are you kidding? The single most underrated talent of my long lifetime, Wow! And this guy never won a Grammy after being nominated 16 times? Really?

[@mckenzie.8653]

Jack Camarda not ONE Grammy. Smh

[@ronrobbins2737]

Amen, yet how many non-singing, non-musician so-called rap “artists” have won tons of awards?

[@NettaJo]

The absolute truth!! Name a more talented musician

[@ronrobbins2737]

jonetta green Billie Eilish is set to sweep the Grammys next week LOL

[@KeKe4Christ]

WAIT WHAT?! Not ONE? See, this is why I don’t value the music industry in regards to what they consider talent or worthy of praise. Ridiculous. This man could PLAY the piano and guitar AND SANG 😍😩 I’m only 17 and I fell in love with this song at my cousins wedding that I HAD to know who sung it and I downloaded his albums. He’s incredible. And THIS live version proves it even further 🥺

[@Whewchilee]

He has aged like a fine wine...

[@TotemDaim]

Fine wine has aged like Brian McKnight. Can't believe how good he sounds after all this time. He is LITERALLY a God's gift.

[@tannergill7514]

sSo many vocalists blow out their voices early. Brian has saved his vocals and can sing as good now as he could in his 20’s. I’d not only put him up against artists his age, but I’d put him up against any 20-40 year old pop artist today. Cold chills every time I see this performance

[@imsupapro]

they don't make 'em like this anymore... what a legend

[@Kigoz4Life]

who is they? black people? racist!

[@imsupapro]

Kigoz4Life pls be childish elsewhere. you're not wanted here

[@Kigoz4Life]

nah but rly who is they

[@godschild9465]

I think you might have misinterpret the comment. I believe this person is pointing out that most of today's musical performers don't have real talent like Brian Mcknight. Nothing racist about it!

[@hoost3056]

imsupapro the true artist is still out there, but the industry does not advocate for them. This type of music is not for the dumbed down masses.

[@1anep]

He sang this with more runs in it than the original! The way he sings it now, so many years later, is more difficult than when he was a younger man lol. A MASTER!

[@aggietaylorsaintilus4943]

This is so true, the runs are awesome after all those years.. Wow!!

underrated? he was pretty big...what you expect him to be at Michael's level?

[@EmanuelNadera]

john king he never won a grammy

[@XavierDeBascho]

Onlyrealmusic4life I feel you and yes, his performance in Seoul with the local star is BOSS. I watch that video all the time. He is one of my vocal influences and goals. To sing like that is a dream that I hope I can make true.

[@XavierDeBascho]

Cloud of Reverie HAHAHAHAHAHA PREACH !!! Taylor even beat out Kendrick for Album of the Year, which is BS. Her album may have sold more and be more popular but in terms of quality, impact and relevance to real issues, her album doesn't do jack. Yeah, I'm sad that Brian hasn't won a single Grammy. But that amount of nominations alone is something else. We all know how amazing he is.

[@vohungvo2479]

the vocal run of one last cry perfomance in seoul is superb

timeless, he gotta be the most underrated artist ever, that combination of piano and vocal skills just kills..

[@JSmooove]

lol underrated by whom????

[@giths19]

+J Smooove..... I hear that a lot. I think its people who have just found out about the artist or people who don't know what underrated really means.

[@JSmooove]

eWorkx that's what i'm thinking. people who barely stumbled onto brian mcknight in recent years. lo and behold, he owned the 90s and us older folk still bump his classics to this day.

[@giths19]

J Smooove so true me too. People think that for an artist to "make it" or be "rated" he/she has to hit Drake or Taylor Swift status. I've read here someone say Luther Vandross was underrated? I'm like whaaaaaaat? just shut up.

[@JSmooove]

eWorkx BAHAHAHAHAHAHA now that's just dumb. Luther underrated??? These guys held "drake" status before drake was around lol. Time has passed and the music changed since these guys were topping the charts. I for one enjoy these "oldies" when music was music. Nowadays there's very little music with any content. But like I said, trends have changed and for what ever reason, today's music is popular. But back in my time, it was guys like this who rode the top of the charts

[@frajoelyouvid]

He never sings or plays this song the same way. And each time is better than the former. Pure talent!

[@alexdelacruz3543]

Island Girl agreed. Just have not seen what he looks like in awhile so the last image in my head was different . . .

[@TalyaT922]

While I think his look is fine, he's only in his late 40's. I think the graying beard does make him look older than he would look without it. However, as Island Girl said, "Embrace!" :-)

So cool to hear him embellish this song in a way that feels like he still enjoys this song - rarity for such big hits by talented artists.

[@divaslm1]

Playing on a baby grand piano has the perfect compliment to his #1 hit. Great job incorporating pop, r&b and jazz. That is talent and a timeless classic. 👏👏👏

[@velaphinosdumo]

I don't get all those who say he still got it. He is even better than he ever was. The maturing in execution control and just sheer command of both instruments is remarkable. I don't know of any other contemporary of his who is this masterful. This rendition of this song is more evidence of his growth as it is remarkably better than the song we initially heard many years ago. That said, he does have exceptional talent within his family I believe. He is a great and I'm talking Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder et al kind of great, regardless of how one feels about his song writing. I don't think I have this level of proficiency in anything in my life.

[@jillsalkin7389]

youre not lying, hes a savage. Do me a favour and check out my track and let me know what you think. I try and capture the 90s vibe in my music, let me know if i succeeded ~ blessings soundcloud.com/user6876346/strip

Yo.. my man STILL killin it!!!! I know my dude has sung this song millions of times and he must get a little tired of singing it so he gotta put mad variations and jazz it up. I was lovin this performance!! Loved the vocal runs (especially at 3:46) and jazzed up chords. Still beasting too!!

And undesirable for us to be apart... Never would've made it very far... 'Cause you know you've got the keys to my heart 'Cause... One... you're like a dream come true Two... just wanna be with you Three... girl, it's plain to see that you're the only one for me And four... repeat steps one through three Five... make you fall in love with me If ever I believe my work is done Then I'll start back at one.
