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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 !
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!
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.
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.

His singing voice: soothing

i am in love with his voice. so beautiful.
so am I.
Ditto
Cosigned.
I'm in love with him and his voice. 🙂❤
Nat king Cole spirit. His voice caresses each lyric with sunlight. The world is yours, Leslie!
EXACTLY what I was thinking…reincarnated?..maybe?
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.

Exactly
He has to be here so this kind of music wouldn't be lost forever in this generation. We need him HERE!!!
Hopefully he'll get an Oscar nod for One Night in Miami.

This is the voice of pure silk.

I can listen to him everyday of my life
Come thru dashiki under the blazer! His voice is flawless and i have been obsessed ever since i saw him as aaron burr, sir.
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
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.
He sounds just as good as in his recording. It's so beautiful
How is he not more famous?? His voice is amazing. Love it!! Smooth Like buttah
This is so beautiful and heartfelt. What a voice

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

M. Djervig I think Rod Stewart did a cool take of this song.
Nina's version makes me tear up.
