I was in Millineum Park in Chicago that evening. Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles brought this segregated city together. He rocked this town. There were black, white. brown and every kind of people there, all on one accord. Chicago needed his concert so very badly. If it wasn't for Co-Vid I believe the City of Chicago would have been blessed with at least one or two more appearances from Cory & the Funk Apostles! God Bless all of Them. I follow everything the do. So, for now he does a virtual show where they are featuring Cory and, his drummer. I think it's a fundraiser, which I imagine will help maintain them until they can get back on the road! He is a most wonderful young man I met at his album sale and autograph signing. Both his parents died when he was very young. He only had his grandparents to raise him. He said they didn't want him to even go outside. So, he went through a lot of changes! But, God is so Good, look what great things he is doing in his life. So, everybody go to his virtual show and donate to give all you can to this band. Encourage them with all these positive vibes and good feelings coming from them to us. We need thier message, so, let's all enjoy and support them with buying thier items for sale, too. Best To Everybody! Don't Forget Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles, they certainly haven't forgotten about us! Just listen to that Music. OMG! What a Great Vibe Band! All Positive! No Profanity or Vulgarity! World! Treat Yourselves! Support The Funk Apostles, so when all this Co-Vid is over, We want to hear more from them ASAP! God Willing!

Sharay Reed - one of my favorite bass players for many years!

[@fabien1037]

Oui il est en forme, sacré Sharay.🤘🎸❤️

[@jimdetmic]

For as long as he has been around and doing his thing ... CORY HENRY is still the best kept secret in America ... there are so many in the black community that have never heard of him nor his awesome original music and sound ... I will always remember 2020 as the year in which I made a fulfilling discovery ... CORY HENRY & The Funk Apostles ... since January I have watched all of his live performances here on youtube ... he is a masterful musician and I am indelibly impressed ...

[@StefJTay]

America definitely knows about him, they just won’t elevate him.

[@rogerioreckel6335]

The drummer impresses me...the guy keeps it simple..flowing..no scandal...groove grounded....cool

[@expansionproject]

That bass and Snare tone is just perfect

Sharay Reed on Bass just KILLING IT!!!!

[@tombarron2468]

Sharay Reed - the soul and funk just flows out of him. Doesn’t miss a beat and oh boy - groove groove groove. Hats off Sharay and Corey for having him😎

[@cameronwescott]

Having Sharkey in the mix is the icing on the gahdamn cake!!

[@zephjohnson9444]

Cameron Wescott I Promise.

[@natemclarke]

Honestly...

[@Mcbassy]

Sharay feelin that groove! haaha!! Groove Sharay!! Cory Henry takin us back to the era of groove and funk music. I support it.

[@ericfricke4512]

Props to Nick Semrad, he has to play keys in a band with CORY HENRY and he always kills it and sounds totally himself.

[@jonathanbower863]

and kudos for being a cool white dude at ease in a black space

[@jean-philippedeberry2416]

Semrad is a good musician, but he abuses of the pitch bend, and his style is sticky and plaintive, he always shirps, and the music becomes limp...

[@jean-philippedeberry2416]

@@jonathanbower863 there is no black or white place, but only music

[@jonathanbower863]

@@jean-philippedeberry2416 you're right, in theory, but in practice, stuff has origins among certain groups of people doesn't it. That's the case for food, art, music and culture.

1:26-1:30 Sharay hasn’t been playing for 5mins and he’s already got Cory turning his head. This guy is from a different planet.

[@fortheloveofgodandcountry]

[@okelius99]

Bruh!!! The way this band transitions into different grooves...sheesh!

[@zzush]

Man ! Sharay you are just insane ❤

[@musicman843]

This mix is way better than the live mix when I was there, thanks to the mixer!

[@musicfan-zh3zu]

Sharayyyyyyy on that bass tho!!!

[@BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

This band is SICK 🤒 🔥 Sharay Reed on Bass 👌🏿💪🏿 Whole band is on 🔥

[@GPrice-mg8mi]

The only other time I’ve heard a bass player come through soooo clean was Gouche during a Chaka Khan performance.

[@carlfrancis4704]

Are you referring to the BET tribute for Chaka?

[@olympicousnero1136]

Opening song “Good to Your Earhole”….FUNKADELIC…. Let’s Take it to the Stage…. 😮

[@markopolo007]

Sharay Reed 🤯🤦🏾‍♂️ does it to me every time !!! Chicago’s very own

[@theblindsniper]

Sharkey and Agati being a force to be reckoned with here, sounds amazing!

[@achenarmyst2156]

Cory is an eminent soul singer 😎

[@jt9178]

2nd time watching this today!!! I’m here for all of it!!! I can’t stop smiling. That bass though!!! My God!!! I remember watching Cory play the organ in Memphis when he was about 5 years old. He was awesome then and awesome now!!!

[@ronaldmcginnis1516]

These mugs should be opening up for Clinton!!! Cory's a true Funkateer!!

[@moSlinga999]

Ultimate! bass warrior Sharay Redd..

[@xaviertorres9815]

Brother on guitar with the hoodie couldn't make it Easier. Thats talent. Listening to this on headphones and watching his input to this sound is amazing..Props!. Much love from Chicago! Couple Chicago natives in here. Stay safe Chicago! Keep it funky this November!

Pure funk. Love this stuff. Play it Sharay.

It would be time for REAL black music to return (disco-funk-soul-jazz) and send prefabricated unintelligent (c)rap into the closet

[@MarcusL1995]

I said Sly and The Family Stone

[@Drumminsince89]

They're just missing a solid horn section....

[@theqodeshim7352]

Rafael Rodrigues Santos no they are not.

[@wladers39]

James Brown and Prince would be proud, too!!!

[@jeffreycregg6078]

It's so great to see such a great group of "integrated" musicians getting people to something fun, dance! So much better than an audience that just comes and stares at you like they can't figure out why either the band or they are there except to clap and make noise after each number.

[@danhorgan2130]

Wow!was going watch Sharay play for a few minutes, had to watch the whole thing

[@officialbossdonceo]

Love will find away. Thank you Cory Henry and The Funk Apostles 🙏🏾

[@matthewnorris203]

The bass player is the reason I want to upgrade my car audio system. 😅

Prince... Let me come back and live thru Corey.. And did!!!

[@ronaldmcginnis1516]

Wow I'm just watching this video for the first time and love this Band! I'm sure someone else mentioned his fine back up singers and one has the "Funkadelic Hardcore Jollies color" outfit gear!!!

Prince’s spirit lives on!

[@chandlerdukes1790]

Cory bettah watch it at 15:52-54, that’s that “church” flinch right here, couldn’t hold that. There are certain types of music that are made to either calm you or hype you, Gospel and funk music will hype you, have a bad day and turn music like this on, you will go from depression to celebration, I am a true witness of that. Both genres are similar because it’s spirit based and the greatest performers are the ones who get lost in the music and give you permission to do the same, Cory is and always has been a prime example of that.

[@wladers39]

Very true.

[@carlfrancis4704]

He was Out of body right there

[@catinthehat661]

I swear Sharay and Cory were scientifically engineered from Larry Graham and Bernie Worrell’s DNA! Damn! Props to the whole band! I could watch this all day, matter of fact, I just might do that.

[@craigstergriffin2097]

Funky music and funky outfits on some! Love it. 🔊

[@nurik]

I love how Henry has been going in a D'Angelo/Prince direction. Parallels with Prince's concert feat. Miles Davis is uncanny. Also when Sharay Reed is so good it hurts almost.
