[@MotorCityPhoenix313]

This is so cool. 7 years later performing it on the Grammys. So glad I'm lucky enough to enjoy this musical talent

[@rubymunoz1212]

exactly well phrased I got chills hearing him sing it, it feels so organic ,also can't stop smiling

[@lukebailey1186]

Fuck the grammys that’s what’s snuffing out the fire in all these beautiful souls

[@BlackPumas]

Thanks #PUMAPACK Spread the word!

Oh my gosh this is beautiful! 🥺 It’s like seeing baby pictures of the song.... ❤️

[@CarlPughGuitars]

Great analogy

[@Seleen]

First time I heard this song I happened to be listening with a nice system in my car watching the studio video... I was so blown away by the tone of the whole thing I sat in the car smiling and crying. Played it a thousand times. Really cool to see the original work of art... "Baby pictures" great reference Karabo

[@vivianeoliveira8460]

Linda música, bela voz

[@escourse]

@@Seleen same here (was driving), except it brought tears to my eyes after listening to it about the 10th or so times while putting it into context (the political climate we find ourselves in here in the US). Really a unifying song. One love.

[@SEEKANDDESTROY717]

Right!?? Well said

[@haruki5401]

One word for this: SOUL

[@drashwinsambasivan7823]

This is serious talent. The song they produced as Black Pumas was literally perfection. My song of 2020 and 2021 I guess. Too good.

[@robinwerth5836]

And 2014 too, apparently! Stunning!

[@drashwinsambasivan7823]

@@robinwerth5836 this is excellent and inspirational. He's been patient and persistent honing his craft. Great to see. Look forward to their upcoming work.

7 years later playing this at the grammy's. Beautiful thing to see true musical talent recognized

[@manunava1776]

Raw. Unplugged. Uncut. Beautiful. To see him then and now, shows what hard work, determination, & believing in yourself will get you! He and EQ are a brilliant team!!

[@russellpreson8982]

They sure are

[@zenamerica]

One of the best modern blues compositions. This song will be around in 100 years.

[@weekendreligion5753]

Just 2 years ago I saw this brilliant man and his band in a super small venue for $15. I remember thinking walking in that next time I saw Black Pumas it would be in a much bigger venue for a higher (and well deserved) price. The energy in that room was something I will never forget. Fan for life.

[@VansPeru25]

THAT'S WHAT I SAID IN BROOKLYN FOR $20 LOL

[@mayarasanpe]

WOW incredible!!! how many great artists we don't know yet...

[@Soulmusic27]

If could like this comment a million times…..

[@BruceHeerssen]

It's very interesting to see how this song evolved over time into the polished form it has now. Amazing.

[@LeonardoLopesOfficial]

Wonderful to see the raw music, at it's root yet to be polished and the great hymn it has become. Long live Black Pumas! 🇧🇷

[@satrap1518]

As an artists, this is the most inspiring thing I have ever seen

[@hawkmankt]

I gotta be honest on this. I've heard this song so many times, but it still brings me nearly to tears. Thank you for this piece of art. Thank you for existing. I know we all love you. I most certainly do. I so look forward to watching your future.

[@Majidowf]

I can’t get enough of this song. 🔥 Can’t get enough of this guy. 🔥 Can’t get enough of Black Pumas. 🔥 And can’t get over how this did not win Grammy 😟🤦🏻‍♂️

[@tootoosis1972]

Music. Soul. Performed on the streets in the USA, including Austin and LA, and now all over the internet and prime time TV. This song is how old now? And still didn't win a grammy? You KNOW he got other songs yet unheard among the mainstream. Keep comin at us with the real music. Black Pumas forever!

[@Norton350]

Birth of a beautiful piece.

[@EstebanLealL]

Holy mother of god... his talent is beyond of comprehension. Saw you in Brussels, thanks for an amazing show!

[@picoteric2551]

So cool to see that hard work can lead to such progress in singing (amongst other) !! Thank you Eric !!

[@katara9696]

He has a Beautiful soul! Hard work 😓 and belief in yourself makes your purpose come true.

[@shusterme]

this blows my mind. Not only the obvious talent, but the fact that the song was already written with all the details years before it was recorded!

[@SuperPogacsa]

I seriously don't think I could ever get bored with this.😊👌🏼🍻

Has this pierced your soul as it has mine? Are you beyond humbled and so privileged to see and hear this miraculous genius, Eric Burton. ♥️🙏🏻✌🏽

[@cozyslor]

I know there's many versions, but his finger-style playing here is so full, raw and percussive. My favorite.

[@redchilipepper2510]

From the backyard to the Grammies, wonderful song, amazing story, great future!

[@pattypatsy5087]

😊❤ My favorite song!!! ❤😊

[@dimagope1]

When somebody asks for what soul music is, here is the rigth answer. The man feels which is singing and performing. It gives a real voice to a trully message. Even the dog barking behind is agree. My sisters and my brothers, they are my favorite colors!

[@sidneyvines7689]

Saw them in Nashville lastnight at the Ryman...completely blown away by the vocals, musicianship, and their chord progression changes are crazy!

[@dianelake7802]

It is amazing to see Eric years ago as this budding talent with his dynamic voice. I thought to myself while watching this if only this young man knew this song would be nominated for a Grammy and he would someday form a group with a very talented guitarist and producer and they would blow people away

[@pttugbud]

Best version on the internet, love it the way it was meant to be. Perfect

OMGGGGGGG amaziiing!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!

[@ErnestoNodal]

You're saving my life man!!! Thank YOUUU!!!

[@gageiiiiitttt]

It's amazing to see how much his confidence has grown over time - the way he delivers the song now is so deep. Here the song is there, but he's still rushing it, still self-conscious, still trying to feel out what works etc. With Black Pumas it's solid, he's comfortable in the groove. Thanks for adding this - it shows how much a performer can change over time.

[@diecarmelasoprano8804]

I saw him live yesterday. Ten years later. Both sweet and soooo good!

[@mariannevanbourgondien]

In Holland not much people know this band. I was happy to get introduced by youtube. Love this version of colours, this is the real thing! Polished is great 2 but still this version is what its all about.

[@mjbattles6301]

Just Amazing... Thank you for this beautiful song, it has been a gift to me in my most trying time... God bless you!!!

Help! I have an ear worm. Can't get this terrific song out of my head. Eric is a multi talented singer/song writer.

[@CristiKerekes]

I'm in love with your music guys! Since I discovered you 2 years ago I became a real fan and listened to all your tracks on repeat. I completely enjoy your style of music.

[@leoaguedes]

I am very happy and proud of you, Eric. Always forward!

[@russellpreson8982]

Seen the Black Pumas in Birmingham U.K. a few years ago. They were bloody brilliant.

[@Ash-tk7jf]

Eric you are so so talented. I Love your Favorite Colors song but I think you can sing and play your guitar very very well. Love to listen to you. 🫂🙏

[@karlsson011]

Still remember the day me and my friend got to work and showed eachother your album back in 2019. He wanted to show Colors and I wanted him to hear Black Moon Rising. Was so wierd that we discovered you at the same day. Keep doing you! This is amazing. I will always be tellin people to listen to Black Pumas.

[@donnamurch724]

Brilliant then and brilliant now. I was actually living in the Valley in Studio City in 2014, I so wish I had been able to see the amazing Eric Burton live.

IM OBSESSED❤️

[@dagogilein]

This is a great performance for me. Because sometimes when i watch singer songwriters on YT, it makes me think they are all like machines, everythings perfect. Here, you can hear someone driving by, barking dog, not every note perfect at the guitar, probably first take. But thats not the point. Its all about the song and this wonderful soulful voice. Therefore its a great performance!!

Wow, how fun and sweet to see this early rendition of what is now becoming a classic soul tune. 'Colors' was wonderful in 2014, and I continue to enjoy this song' thoroughly almost 2 years after first stumbling across a video of Black Pumas performing it.
