The marching band featured in the video is, I believe, the St. Augustine High School marching band. And the young lady standing in front of the oak trees is someone I follow on Facebook, who's carrying on the Mardi Gras Indian tradition.

What a blast it must have been to film this, so good, so inclusive. Thank you Jon for sharing your voice and inspiring us all to shake our Freedom. 🕺💃🎺🎶💞

[@King-Vis]

Always felt like this was overlooked, until he received his Grammy nominations. Glad he actually won Album Of The Year, well deserved Jon Batiste!

[@indigowolf556]

I love this man. I've watched him on the Stephen Colbert show and just not even being an amazing Entertainer and winning an award that is great, but when you see this man he always has a sweet smile. And he has such a good positive outlook on things and it really makes you feel good. He's very very sweet we need more people in the world like him

Charlypi--What a great comment. Same here, but this time I watched the video. I am playing it for the third time in a row. I like this guy.

He’s got eleven Grammy nominations! One of them is for this song! Congratulations,Jon! You deserve EVERY last one!

Agreed

[@mikiinajijic6763]

yeah, baby!

[@tammyvanderbur4865]

Pure 50's to 60' s New Orleans jazz. The best kind !!!!

[@cherylczekala4558]

There is such a rich weave of historical culture in this video, from the drill team to the various vocal techniques, to gospel robes. The dance silhouette is right out of the early 30s and the mohair suits from the great soul groups of the 60s. And the cars! And, of course the whole performance is lifted by a modern sensibility - lots of powerful women and girls. I can't get enough.

[@marthasmith5071]

Love the video and love Jon.

[@carolwarn7497]

The mix of people, colors and sizes!!!!!! Wonderful

[@stellaknol2273]

Thats what I sensed.. thank you for confirming it was historically based..🌸🥂🌟

[@gedxavier9049]

As a fan of Billie, Ari, and all other nominees, I am proud of Jon Batiste's achievement today!!!

[@vrryc221]

I am a big fan of pop girls and their works but then this artist seems intriguing and last month I commented about my thoughts on this album and even I'm not a fan I said "this kinda good.. he should win" I'm so glad Grammy recognize Jazz, Funk Afro music. Don't criticize him for winning because your faves (Our faves) didn't won.. This MV clearly shows real artistry that makes him unique and outstanding too.. ❤️❤️❤️

[@stellashepherd3229]

He’s truly someone special 💗

[@dianehartnett1945]

Love Jon Batiste!! A talent and an angel, very kind soul!!!

[@tiaflies]

I only know about this guy because of Stephen Colbert, but I might become a fan, this song is awesome! He deserved that Grammy win!

[@stephaniegobert7846]

I saw it this morning! I can't find it to watch again. Let me tell ya, it's fantastic! The song and the dancing and the backdrop of New Orleans done so well that it's mesmerizing! So filled with joy and it's sort of LIKE the "Happy" video by Pharrell, but it's BETTER! Absolutely proud of this young man, Jon Batiste, from my home state of Louisiana.

I think he’s paying homage to the musical greats with his outfits and musical style. Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, James Brown, Temptations to name a few… love it!!!

[@enjoythemusic2587]

Yes that was first thing that came to my mind too. Great song.

Agreed, and Marvin Gaye. It's also somehow very original too. I'm listening for the 6th time now

john Baptiste's video and songs are not given enough appreciation. So much joy! I love him.

[@cunductur]

While others are moving toward a rap genre, New Orleans moves to its own beat. America is a little happier place because of the music culture in the bayou.

[@Grt1n]

Wow album of the year! Honestly never paid attention to him but this song is great, can’t wait to dive into this album.

Amen!

I'm so happy that his song was not on commercial radio and still managed to win because we all know that the radio is bias...the real music is the one that exists outside radio!...👏👏👏

[@sammyytube5999]

So happy that he is making success outside of late show. Not everyone who come from late night back up bands can transition to solo artists. And he is keeping his music so cultural.

[@StarinthewingsNews]

He was a well known jazz artist before late show.

[@sammyytube5999]

@@StarinthewingsNews Commercially I really did not know him until his late night national broadcast gig. Good that the got the extra boost and did not allow the authentic artist in him get snuffed out.

[@Fenomka]

I just adore his spirit, heart, and soul. He puts so much of himself in his music, and I feel it! You can just tell he truly gets and gives so much joy!

[@cindyballard9471]

I love it! Listen to it all the time. Mmm

[@kentrajackson8660]

My heart smiles just watching and listening to this. He’s bring that old feeling back that we are missing in music today. I still listen to the music from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s! This is excellent!!

It goes without saying, Jon epitomises freedom and joy and those women dancing with him are extraordinary.

[@rogerdeschenes6749]

Nice shout out to the dancers. Especially the dancer in the sun glasses, print dress with white trim. Damn.

I have loved this song since it came out and especially loved hearing it at the DNC this week! Wish Jon would have performed it live; would've been EPIC!

[@sosickandtiredofalltheneed568]

To be honest Im glad that he Won. Only goes to show that Grammys is not a popularity contest and thats what sets it apart to other awards giving bodies. Grammys aint perfect but they did well this year. Also, because of grammys i discovered a lot of great unknown artists over the years
