      @birth0fserpents 6 лет назад +13

      the intro mimics his musical style visually. the inserts elucidate his picks and pace out the rest of the video. if there was "nothing special" it would be a singular take with just him talking. watch the other videos in this series, all of them are incredibly well "cut" and significant for each artist.

  • @JBrown162
    @JBrown162 10 лет назад +52

    That pretty dope that his music transcends gospel, and classical pianists and of course Outkast and other house music, with a nod to Drake for his flow on the songs he makes. Totally not what I was expecting but even more respect for his range of music. Super cool to hear what he picked up.

    Thank you James for James Cleveland & The Angelic Choir. Pretty amazing gospel music, with everything that I like in gospel: A Choir and an amazing baritone singer, it's mostly upbeat with that gospel-swing that I like so much. And that organ, bluesy and improvising around the melody.! Lovesongs for the Lord from a Baptist church in 1962.

  • @ConCitatoE
    @ConCitatoE 8 лет назад +31

    That James Cleveland.. Is Amazing to me.. In his hand. I love that.. That is SO unique! Go in James!! That's awesome! Outkast.. Art Tatum, and a Mahalia album? Sounds like he's going through my families collection.
