Dear Cory: You have no right to be that jaw-droppingly funky. Signed, everybody.

[@izecjaxn9971]

The AUDACITY!

[@markkubiak8296]

Sign me in, Man!!

[@TheDangerRandy]

I appreciate that my guy.

[@Gogogamer123]

This guy is 100% under the influence of a groove.

[@DavidLowrie-iz5oy]

One nation Under A....

[@jonnyDmay]

Cory's phrasing on that vocal line; "... when the walls come tumble-ing down..." 😍

[@DarcyCrumb]

Like butter

[@Missfoxmdtu]

@1:51

[@grantbraider329]

Didn't realize this was 7 minutes long until it was over. Louis Cato with the FEEL!!

[@odaneeubank697]

So true

[@Benisuber1]

The drums coming in was incredible.

[@nico.m8346]

He sure warmed up as the song went along.

[@Alk333_fan]

That’s Louis Cato. He was with Snarky Puppy for a bit, and puts out some great insta content.

[@ThePoodleStrudel]

Louis Cato - also the guitarist for Late Show with Stephen Colbert (Jean Batiste and Stay Human band). These people are so talented!

[@dpalma86]

What snare is that?

[@aidanschram9652]

Louis Cato can basically play any instrument and sing, too much talent 🥵🥵

[@bnjmnwst]

Cory is a keyboard beast. Everybody knows that. This man can sing! He's a better singer than a lot of artists with hit songs. Big names, I'm talking about. Get this man an album of pop songs to "Cory-fy." STAT!

[@bisratezra8247]

Coryfy! Yes!

[@kathybramley5609]

He should be at least as well known as Ed Sheeran!! Or Jacob Collier, not sure if he is!? But that pressure is a bit ... another thing, being a *big star* compared to a slightly underrated genius phenomenon whom musicians admire and want to play with! The latter cosy niche is probably much more inherently rewarding.

[@remcotauran5273]

Cory is "A" big name!!!

[@parkerklinck263]

Lets get cory henry and cory wong in a studio together

[@timnicktion9744]

Why waste such a talent on pop songs lol

[@tedhastings8828]

My dad died in April. He loved this song. Thank you for this lovely memory.

[@erix1971]

My condolences… this is such a lovely interpretation - he would have loved this one too! Stay strong.

[@arnebey]

Folks, that's Louis Cato thowin it down funky-big-time on drums! He's Cobert's band leader after Jon Batiste left. You usually see him with a guitar! WOW! Unbelievable groove!

[@Hoyerman]

Cory Henry and Louis Cato. The world just can’t get any funkier now - I couldn’t take it.

[@AndrewBakke]

It don't vibe any harder than this.

[@daankarstens5118]

Once you add Vulfpeck i think its gonna _Get FUNKIER_

[@Intermernet]

I definitely heard the next pop. The funk shall now be within me me.

[@victoriabell9546]

This has to be one of my new favorite versions of this song! It gives me major Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye vibes, and especially Cory Henry's voice!

[@MauriceOdell-y4l]

Donny Hathaway tones and vibrato here and there also. Whew crazy

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like a DynaSonic tuned, miked and played to perfection!

I think Louis Cato is one of the best drummers of our generation lowkey

[@kellynkarr6270]

Singers, bass players, guitar players, keyboard players. Lol the dude is so dope

[@SolidSmashies]

Heard he got a new gig 👀

[@Jailbird830]

Everyone was STELLAR, but DAMN Louis on the drums KILLED IT

[@nerdHerder44]

The B3 sound gives me a big damn grin every time I hear it. One of the greatest instruments ever.

[@catrionahayes9166]

Couldn't agree more. Absolutely heavenly.

[@Martinez-mr3uy]

nothin like it. I knew a guy who sawed off the legs of his so he could load it in the back of his blazer and take it to gigs.

[@RickJohnson]

When the drummer leads us in by slapping the high hat with his hand, we knew this was going to be epic!

[@TAP7a]

That solo was an incredibly successful exercise in restraint in the first half, such a tease!

[@katherineblackwater6717]

Henry's voice is pure magic. And OMFG, Cato's drums...

[@patoques]

This is the next level after the next level of good music.

[@PabloTarantino]

They are all incredible, but I especially love listening to Louis Cato and Cory Henry together, it can't get funkier that this! ❤️🔥

[@catrionahayes9166]

Absolutely.

[@devgupta9206]

Cory Henry and Luis Cato ruled the world and Solomon Dorsey, Jack Conte, and Ryan Lerman let them run wild in vibing into another dimension.

[@noamgal85]

I've watched ALL Scary Pocket's videos. With respect to previous featured musicians, Cory really takes you to the next level. Keep it up!!

[@benlobo3821]

It's like Marvin Gaye with the Funk Brothers accidentally double booked studio space with Herbie Hancock and The Headhunters, so they decided to just make it work and record together 😍🤩😍🤩😍

[@johnsausage]

Curtis Mayfield walks into the room :-D

The sheer joy that Jack performs with puts me in a better mood every time. You just can't fake that.

[@Hoorenchi]

this cover is so chill the bassist had to put on that jacket

[@TheApeMachine]

1:52 What the hell, the choices this guy just makes seemingly on-the-fly... Those notes he sings "where the walls come tumbling down" ... So cool.

[@ElectroMikeBirch]

The organ GOAT himself. What a collab!

[@calebmorgan8294]

The bass at 5:35-5:41 is scary!! 😳😳😳 and the whole video is dangerous!

[@patrickhunter]

Solomon is KILLINGGGGG IT on that Bass VI!!!!

[@cornelmasson4610]

Squire? I have one and I swear it sounds better than my buddy's Fender P.

[@buxycat]

The last half of this is just pure joy.

[@nathanwafflart4199]

Ok if we're talking about an all star lineup of pure funk?? This is it right here.

[@harrymagooslum5770]

“Rando” viewer here who just wanted to say thank you for making my Sunday morning a little shinier. I could only wish to have your musical talent, voice, etc. Hopefully you all are well and continue to make great music together now and for years ongoing. Blessings and peace.

[@JamesDavis-ps6yy]

Over the solo, Jack just smiling and nodding his head like the muppet, Crazy Harry. Love it!

[@KaregaAnglin]

Drummer killing that pocket!!

[@max_k_drums7276]

Omg - Cory Henry :O - Man I am so stoked with which musical creations you guys bless my ears every Monday and every other day of the week! That Song grooves so much - it's just unreal!

Two layers of nostalgia--70's superimposed onto 80's...

[@waynedexter]

Funny Hammond organ gives me 60s

[@zacharyjakubiak3949]

Everything about this cover is fantastic, but can we also talk about how good that Bass VI sounds!? I had no idea you could get that thing to sound so tight and bass-y.

[@robtelford1988]

I had to do some very hard staring to check my eyes were not deceiving me

[@6strbassplayer]

And it looks like it's a Squire! Just proof that the price of instruments is not that important...imho.

[@2tallB]

I didn't even notice that! But I heard the killer bass tone. Whoa

[@filipkosmalla6252]

@@6strbassplayer when it comes to bass vi there's not much choice out there. It's either super cheap chinese copies, Harley Benton (not that bad), Squier, then Fender, and then we go into super expensive territory that I haven't checked yet

[@leofiorito2328]

I could go to bed until I figured out this bass. I did not know that model and tuning etc. Thanks for the info

[@duncangrant4580]

This is simply sublime. Also, amazing to think the original hammond organ technology is approx. 90years old. Let that sink in. It is and will remain such a unique sound, even in it's modern digital format.

[@craigbrowning9448]

Older if you start with the Cahill Telharmonium.

[@brianharder7714]

Holy crap! That was sick. I love that song. Special place in my heart for Tears for Fears over the years. I was curious to see how you guys would "funk" this one. Man, it started out fine. No surprises. I was excited to see the organ. And then at around 2:20, this just exploded in an unexpected direction. So good. Lean but tight drums, cool bass cooking along, enough rhythm guitar to fill it in and that organ setting the world on fire. BAM!

[@aldosouza1]

it must be a nice feeling to reach this level of musicianship

[@Sarahyz]

Damn, the drum part is more than fine.

[@paulothiagorandesfarias7001]

I felt some "Don't Stop Till Get Enough" on this, love it!

[@radical_ans]

If Jack's power stance got any wider he'd dislocate a hip.

6 and a half minutes of "worth every second". Just watching Jack enjoy the SHIT out of life is worth it some days...

Alright, pack it up fellas. You've reached the mountaintop.

[@oceanic7146]

LOVE THIS. I only wish they would've somehow kept in the iconic repetitive triplet line played by the guitar, it's what makes the song what it is in my opinion

[@umhaitiano2364]

Always nice to see a Fender VI played live. Dont get to see much of those anymore

[@sebuteo]

Man, I love this! As others have said, it takes an already brilliant song to an even more beautiful place. Truly heavenly synergy between these terrifically talented cats! This is in my top musical moments of all time right now. Very few pieces of music have ever moved me so much. Santana’s Life Divine did it to me in my late teens. This has quite possibly saved my life, with its awesome jazzy, funky, soul. Thank you Scary Pockets and guests.

that manssss snare is delectable, scrumptious, and groovalicious

[@ChollieD]

That was beautiful! Makes me happy growing up with this music that others find the few gems of the 80's. This is just one of those songs that was so perfect in its original form, it's hard to do it justice without changing up the genre a bit. The Bad Plus did a dreamy slow one. This one in the groove pocket is dandy! Congratulations, guys.
