A nice slow bluesy rendition. Ray Charles would approve

[@conniemiller9789]

This man could sing the phone book and make it sound soulful. Excellent voice and so humble.

[@kimberlykress6145]

He loves music and expressing himself through it. There is NOTHING like doing what you love. It shows in his performances. So soulful

[@DC-zu2po]

Thank you Lord for Michaels amazing healing! And do good to hear that voice again! Brings tears to my eyes snd joy to my ♥️

He is incredibly soulful, liquid gold.

[@carolmoccia6332]

[@serenamusicmatterssomuch3085]

You & me both!

[@maryfrederick6371]

I could listen to him all day and night. What a great voice and he is so good looking!!

[@southernlady]

Why am I not hearing him on the radio? My Lord his voice is heavenly!

[@kmrowlan101960]

I’d like an answer to that too

[@jodicox4305]

Mainstream music is bought out by the huge record companies that push people that have no talent. This man has talent. Let’s hear some of the people that are at the top of the charts sing raw like this. They sound horrible.

[@wileyphillips8275]

Totally agree.

[@baddriver3580]

'cause he has real talent,,, sad that we don't hear from him!

[@eloisesolomon3238]

Your voice is so very beautiful. Every song you sing is so loving.

[@tamecosmith5797]

Thank you for your voice...I was raised up listening to Marvin Gaye, B.B. King, Al Green, and etc. Everyone that i loved in music has passed on. So, when i seen u on America Got Talent tonight. ( 10 yrs ago)I had to google you. Keep singing😊 You have a fan for life. I cant wait until tomorrow for my 79yr old mama can listen to u sing Al Green. I'm a truely a fan.

[@MrGuitars8]

YOU HAVE TONS OF TALENT , I KNOW YOU MAKE YOUR FAMILY , FRIENDS AND HOMETOWN VERY HAPPY . STAY BLESEED MICHAEL.

[@hassanbasri9581]

Some talent...they talentang

[@joycebaiett4850]

Love this man's voice. He sings to my soul. It's hard to find such clean, pure soulful music like what his man makes. I agree with other here. THIS MAN NEEDS TO BE HEARD ON EVERY RADIO STATION!!! I have been checking his touring schedule. I am not a fan of Las Vegas but I will travel there just to see him. His music melts me. Bourdon on the rocks and Michael Grimm, nothing better. Come to New Mexico, please

[@Sarahlovexox]

He’s incredible he should be on every station

[@FLo-jc7ig]

Yeah, why isn't he on the radio? Somethings fishy about that, no??? Anybody???

[@nancywood9531]

@@FLo-jc7ig noone really wants to answer the reason why. If I said it I would get hate texts. HE won AGT.....just him! Not him and his wife. He went on the tour but didn't like the huge huge sell out crowds. He backed off. Missed his chance. He said he knew he backed out to his huge stardom. He wanted small intimate crowds in Vegas and nightclubs. His wife upstaged him by doing a risky strip dance to "leave your hat on. " he just signed contract at the Mint in Vegas. They let him go because of it. Family Show theater and it was not proper they said. She needed to let him find his fame ALONE! That's how his singing is great...by himself...like Joe Cocker. . In HIS very unique style.The way other stars wives let them do their own thing alone. Stand back and be proud of HIS career. He went on AGT winners show to try to restart his fame. but Simon had heard " I'd Rather Go Blind" too many times he said. I say NOT THE WAY MICHEAL SANG IT!. He needed a good agent and manager to bring his recording career to full star status....someone who knew what they were doing and how to do it....but Lucy managed his career. Sad but true. He is the best soul singer to come into the business in last 40 years. Regroup Michael. Get good agent and contact. Good writer or write your own hits.. a good manager agent will get your star shining bright world wide. 🌎🎶⭐🎶

[@katiecalifornia6716]

Could listen to him forever

[@bettycogswell9851]

Love you Michael since AGT. So glad you pulled through your sickness.

[@lindalee6279]

Michael has the most fantastic gorgeous voice, just unbelivable voice, mighty awesome.....God Bless you

[@Aquarian2000]

What a great voice! He knows how to make you feel the essence of the song. He's one of the best male singers out there.

[@jeancriner9378]

A truly nice guy with a wonderful voice. May he make his great music for a long, long time.

[@susanwagnerpr]

An amazing talent and musician. Listening to him is such a pleasure.

[@wayneosmand7652]

SO MUCH SOUL AND PURE TALENT! GET WELL SOON MICHAEL, YES WE EVEN LOVE YOU DOWN HERE IN AUSTRALIA!

[@missourimamma_117]

Just found Michael a couple weeks ago!!! What an amazing talent!!!! LOVE his voice and the heart he sings with!!! Just going to get better as his voice ages and has more and more soul!!!! Going to try to fly up to Vegas to see him soon!!!!

[@kimmyjeans2]

I love that he talks to his fans. Omg I just love him!

[@49and61]

Mississippi made so proud, so talented a voice from the heaven's

[@sandyfanning3778]

Michael ,you sound fantastic as always

[@miabrown1000]

gods... Michael opens his mouth, and literally , everything in me is hostage to his interpretation.. his voice.. Every song is an experience.. and no matter how many times I have seen him do a song, - in this case - You Don't Know Me.. it's different, every time.. I put him up there equal to if not better than Ray Charles, and I honestly can't even think of anyone else that comes close to him.. Love love LOVE him and his craft..

[@darlenetuck8198]

Is he a comic or singer? Definitely a hell of a singer! His voice melts my heart!

[@vuimeasaw3692]

He won American got talent

[@foxybrown4017]

I can listen to MG all day and this is my fav because his vocals are always in perfect line

[@serenamusicmatterssomuch3085]

Can't get enough of MG since I the first time I heard him audition for AGT

[@kimberlykress6145]

Why the HELL isn't he on the radio?

[@maggisteele4342]

Although willie Nelson and the king also covered it,I think they just do it there way,,,covered beautifully, x

[@Bobby-ns7gn]

Where is the Sax man ?????

[@ordainedreverendhighpriestess]

Commercial in the middle of the song?!?! No Bueno!

[@katya19781]

Why is ur single not this version

[@sandye8537]

hate it when ppl talk instead of listen. if you wanna talk, go outside. 👣

[@xxxxxxxxy11]

You might work on the art of audience participation moments. Casually Acknowledging a potential disruptive person then moving along not being offended or offensive is a character skill

[@tonye.morgan1162]

Bruce Wallace mama get the hammer there’s a fly on the babies head

[@trixr4218]

Yeah, just let the man do his job…. Translation is not in English. Transcript I don’t care if it’s English or whatever I know the words and it is funny as hell. Good job.😂

[@abdikadirmfarah9060]

i love you&your family michael grimm&we love trump not biden.thank so much

[@johncrabtree8857]

I think jackie evancho got ripped off when he won agt

[@lissalives1]

Jackie was already going to be signed. Michael didn’t have that guarantee. Be nice.

[@jimbo3267]

I like them both! I would have voted for Michael.

[@FLo-jc7ig]

@Deana Robertson That's my question. Why is he not better known? I heard a few years ago that he was asked to leave that Vegas deal because of something his wife did, but never heard what that was!!🤔🤔🤔

[@gary24752]

He is more popular demographically for a larger audience with his voice, style and music. He does not appear to be interested in all the fan fare.

[@nancywood9531]

@@FLo-jc7ig I know what she did. Michael was doing " leave your hat on" she went onstage and choreographed it" as you.might say. It was nothing bad at all ...but the Vegas club said no no....it c was to be tot famy show so the canceled his contract. She is starting to want to be part of his lime light. May be his down fall. She is his manager and think he needs an agent that gets him well seen.....large se out concerts...TV appearances on great shows. He should go on the " Voice':...... he would blow them away ......he does tour but just goes to one or 2 towns close together and small audiences. Somehow he hated big concerts, huge stadiums , traveling every day ...he likes to interact with small groupd.
