'Hamilton' Star Leslie Odom Jr. Performs a Blues Classic

[@anchorskid]

His posture, hands in pockets, when he's singing make him look so at ease and helps bring calm, grace, and intimacy to the song and his delivery of it. Beautiful voice.

[@theeberrybest]

His singing voice: soothing His regular voice: soothing NOW HOW DOES THIS EVEN WORK? HIS VOICE IS SO SOOTHING AND I’D JUST LISTEN TO HIS VOICE FOR HOURS AND HOURS AT A TIME.

[@_roqui_]

Goodness gracious! It's been a long time (if ever) I have felt such beautiful masculine presence!! Everything about this man is divine and comes across with such fluency! I'm stirred!

[@ald2106]

i am in love with his voice. so beautiful.

[@shawnscoggins1260]

so am I.

[@ms.tilliefinifter1194]

[@violet9853]

I'm in love with him and his voice. 🙂❤

[@maxdegrom6907]

Nat king Cole spirit. His voice caresses each lyric with sunlight. The world is yours, Leslie!

[@29feliss]

EXACTLY what I was thinking…reincarnated?..maybe?

[@rafaelbarao3767]

His version: Once I lived a life of a milionaire Spending my money, I didn't care Always taking my friends out for a good time Spending every nickel on gin and cheap wine But just as soon as my dough got low I couldn't find a friend nor place to go If I ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna squeeze it I promise I'll squeeze and make that eagle grin Nobody knows you When you're down and out In your pocket not one penny All your friends you haven't any But just as soon as you get back on your feet again Everybody is your long lost friend It's mighty strange but without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out Nobody knows you when you're down and out

[@maxdegrom6907]

This is the voice of pure silk.

[@butchpreston3220]

One of the most beautiful voices that has ever existed. The entire original Ham cast, bring the same beautiful joy to me and millions during this pandemic. Stay healthy.

[@psychologicallyspeaking]

Come thru dashiki under the blazer! His voice is flawless and i have been obsessed ever since i saw him as aaron burr, sir.

[@thesprtsspeciaist4192]

LOJ ........one of the few singers around today who is poundcake......no hype.....no pretensions.....whst u see is what u get all the way through. Pure talent.

[@nan_c77]

How is he not more famous?? His voice is amazing. Love it!! Smooth Like buttah

[@haileymona714]

I can listen to him everyday of my life

[@newyorker3861]

If this man was born in a different generation he'd probably be really famous. This generation can't appreciate real good music and singer.

[@giraffeproductions9136]

Exactly. These days no one can appreciate people like Leslie Odom Jr because they’re attracted to music that people don’t even have to TRY to make because of auto tune. Leslie is literally so talented but people in this generation just appreciate popularity and not talent.

[@miriza2]

Exactly

[@shanayjames8463]

He has to be here so this kind of music wouldn't be lost forever in this generation. We need him HERE!!!

[@maureencollins5177]

Hopefully he'll get an Oscar nod for One Night in Miami.

[@TheBakko343]

It depends upon your circles. If you tend to go to movies and listen to pop music, you probably won't hear about him. However, if you're into theater where he's well respected, I believe you'll be very familiar with his work. His voice is exceptional and, like he said, his phone is now ringing because people want to hear and see him. He deserves it. Very talented.

[@kayte8960]

He sounds just as good as in his recording. It's so beautiful

[@ms.tilliefinifter1194]

So wonderful! I can't believe I never heard his voice before I heard it in a commercial. So very smooth, so easy, so pristine.

[@jankarasinski4057]

I hadn’t heard of Leslie Odom,Jr and then I heard him sing “Autumn Leaves” on Tony Bennett’s 90th birthday celebration on tv. I was in awe. That song was popular when I was in high school (Roger Williams on the piano.) Leslie’s version is outstanding. Such a smooth voice and so beautiful !

[@vsandalwood]

This is so beautiful and heartfelt. What a voice

[@stephensaint-felix]

v sharma 1

[@kalisoham6054]

I love that Velvet voice💕💖 So effortless and beautiful. 😂 he won me as a fan from a nationwide commercial.

[@mefi9788]

I fell in love with him during "Smash" and he never ceases to amaze!

[@byDsign]

I'm old enough to remember Bobby Womack's *Nobody Wants You When You're Down and Out*. I love you LOJr!

[@stewAC]

That voice is just on another level. Thank you for sharing.

[@xstanadu]

Amazing and so handsomely gifted with a magnificent singing voice ~ He can sing anything and sound just awesome ~ wow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@swhmetta]

This guy is a great new discovery for me! I first heard him sing America The Beautiful during the Super Bowl and the Nationwide commercial. His voice is so smooth! I love the types of music he is singing. Check out his Christmas songs! Thanks Leslie! Keep up the great job and put out some more albums!

[@dorothyjohnson7071]

Such a beautiful song with much feeling. Sung by one of the greatest. Love the sound of the piano with an amazing effect.

[@elisabethnerolk2283]

Leslie is so gifted!!

[@evettesmith3850]

Boy your voice is classic clean. I enjoy listening to you sing.

[@millicenttrulli3783]

Gives me Goosebumps... so beautifully sung.

[@rsnookerg308]

Please more Leslie Odom Jr. singing performing. Such professionalism, grace, talent.

[@genuinekay]

Love this song and Leslie so much man!!! Great music!!

[@jcgmusic16]

I really love the western feel to the piano.

[@Deerych]

My God. Amazing. Simply amazing.

[@simplydiane.n]

That’s was soothing and beautiful omg

[@annlemon1175]

This song hits home for me. Waves of emotion come every time I hear this song...Thank you Leslie Odom Jr. for this beautiful piece.

[@1879gym]

More more more!!!!

[@gLapo]

Hamilton on Disney+ brought me here, his voice is INCREDIBLE and he can sing ANYTHING❤❤❤

[@yvettehopkins5257]

Love this performance! ❤

[@januarygirl5878]

So very beautiful. I also am in love with this man's voice.

[@dannyb2519]

Ugh his deep voice and smooth tone is just so pleasing to listen to😍

[@mechellemorris3917]

Beautiful....

[@mariabelenhernandez]

I can hear this all day long...

[@gary902]

His voice is so pure. Great!!

[@christopherdoran3608]

His version of Autumn Leaves is the best I have ever heard.

[@antonmueller5429]

His voice is so insane

[@msseasailor5731]

Brilliant!!!

[@violet9853]

You are such a beautiful person!!!

[@andreagale6058]

Absolutely beautiful! Liquid gold.

[@everneanderson2744]

[@dinahmenard7289]

His VOICE.....

[@rubyelbourne5142]

Awesome voice....

[@whats_creativity]

0:56 as my personal replay button ✨

[@mynamesujin]

❤❤❤

[@JaniceMarieSingleton]

Wonderful!

[@3200cmr]

He has the spirit of Sam Cooke for real it’s amazing

[@linedanzer4302]

He could probably put a sting on "Do Nothing 'Til You Hear From Me" like no other. I would pay top dollar to see him just stand there in all of the simplicity of the setting and just sing.

[@Artsloverinlr]

I have Lena Horne’s version. It is terrific. Would love one from Leslie. Foster Lee

[@veronicaja9085]

Great voice

[@123benny4]

He's no longer down and out, but up and coming.

[@TruthAndLight4995]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@cassandrajones9040]

🎙🎼🎼❤❤

[@childofgodforever6614]

Did not realize he can sing. I am in love (sorry to my and his other half) 😀

[@Bamsefar87]

Great performance! For a long time I preferred Josh White's version, more recently I've been more into Eric Clapton's or Nina Simone's renditions. I guess now I have another one to add to the mix. I love songs like this one, or Summertime is another great example, where all the greats give it a go.

[@mayemcdonald9111]

M. Djervig I think Rod Stewart did a cool take of this song.

[@deadappletree]

Nina's version makes me tear up.

[@Oreoangie33]

Sam Cooke lives!!!

[@oliviajohnson6142]

3 years later and now he’s playing Sam Cooke in a movie !

[@marshaschlangen4977]

No credit listing for his accompanist?

Too much. Leslie sang the "shit" out of this song. GREAT!!!

[@shawnn7502]

The Man! Aaron Burr, sir.

[@lorenzohampton6590]

[@gracieg5808]

Isn't he in Hamilton?
