    He was singing and playing the piano right at the tender age of 10.
    Amazing! So sweet and smart and kind. Its a shame his Mama didn't get to see him play piano and sing.

    I had never really heard too much about Harry Cornick, Jr., but I am frankly impressed by this man's life story. He seems to work hard to do those things he really enjoys in his career. I'll definitely keep my ears open to hear more of this hard working artist's music and roles he choses throughout his life.

      @@hankterreros223 Well, I did, but I really wish it was a print "article" as it would be easier to thoroughly digest. Unlike RUclips, you just can't replay a short segment if you don't quite catch or remember a detail. Then you have to start at the beginning. If it were a print article, no problem spotting any issue you have with any part of the whole layout. Still, thanks for this depressing reminder of the scary US ,judicial system.

Somewhere in a box in my house...anyway it’s nice to see it again. This man is so incredibly super talented and it is interesting to learn more details about his life. His parents definitely raised him correctly. I could see how proud his father is of him and I’m sure his mother was also. And I really loved hearing him speak so lovingly of his parents and children. He is a very genuine person, and continues to speak lovingly of his family even to this day. If more of us could be like Mr. H. C. Jr.....wow, what a wonderful world it would be. 🙂

    This was screened a long time ago now, probably well over a decade (not this youtube post but the t.v. airing) and it was an excellent doco. As a jazz and funk musician I think HC is a genius and I love his work. Contrary though to most people's opinions I did not like his albums Your Songs and Only You which were more pop 'Mother's Day' type muzac. Even Harry himself had issues with the renowned producer 'Clive' who basically admitted to wanting to just sell as many copies as possible. Hence there was very little piano, no swing and only tiniest nods to jazz on those albums. Other people adored them and that is fine. I just felt he sold out to the masses on those albums. For this fan Harry will always be best seen as the Big Band piano playing genius. Funk and swing are in his genes and he is an incredible jazz pianist and arranger. Come By Me, was of his very best compositions showing that Harry can still be popular whilst not abandoning his New Orleans heritage. This is pretty much the point in his life that this doco finishes on. It would be interesting to see an updated extended version up to the current day. It was great to see even a clip of the Come By Me video - feels like yesterday but was so long ago. The joys of aging aren't really that great. I do thank Harry Connick Jr. though for producing such an enormous amount of music the very vast majority of which has given me and millions so much joy in our life. I hope we get a return to some more Harry the jazz pianist and Big Band leader in future releases.
