A true genius with blessed talent and a heart for what he sings. I am an old white dude who choked up every time he sings this!

Thanks for watching and subscribing, Mark! We appreciate you.

[@pbenzaquinnbs]

I just found this recording and listened to five times in a row. Porter's soulful voice surrounded by these amazing musicians gets to the core of what jazz is about! Feeling grateful...

[@Jazzday]

And we're grateful to you for watching!

[@FJTiernan]

Very true and it gets to the core of what soul is about too. Thanks for this

[@billmalone5050]

I just finished viewing and listening to this video at least 8 or 9 times and I have shared it with a whole bunch of people.

Amazing singer,amazing band,brilliant song

[@badiraha]

Just gorgeous!

[@annkennard2250]

❤ this song by Gregory!!!!

[@wda2478]

This is what jazz needs. Ensembles🔥🔥🔥where we can see legends on stage. First time I saw Terri she was with Patrice Rushen, Holly Hoffman, and Nikki Parrott back in the early 90’s. The way Linda grooves on bass is epic.

[@Jazzday]

So glad you enjoyed! We agree--a legendary ensemble. Be sure to check out our channel for more great videos like this!

My favorite song of him!!!!

[@Jazzday]

Awesome, we love this tune too, Jamal!

[@jondouglasanderson7040]

It's my favorite tune of Mr. Porter's, as well--but I still prefer the original recording on his album w/a (very) slightly-faster tempo. Check it out--the phrasing on the studio recording is PERFECT!!!

[@H2SENTCAFELLC]
