I met him in a hotel lobby in LA when I was doing a bass session with a band for a TV show spot. He was so gracious. He allowed me to take a photo with him.
Yes. I’m blessed to have been around him many times as I worked on the stage at a place he played several times. He is truly as nice as his voice. Really.
I saw Gregory at the Mayflower theatre Southampton several years ago before his amazing talents were widely appreciated here. After the gig he was stood at the stand selling CDs and memorabilia, I joined the queue and when I got to the front of the line I said Sir I have all your albums but I just wanted to thank you for a fantastic evening. He looked a bit perplexed and then his face lit up and he just said Yeah real slow and with the widest friendliest smile as he shook my hand, not going to forget that any time soon.
Good advert for an universal world , such a lovely video , it absorbs understating and acceptance , nobody queries him speaking in a foreign language & everybody just enjoys the song . Which is a work of art
Was not expecting that. The very nice lady has a gifted voice and that duet was solid and beautiful. Mr. Porter you're a great vocalist. I love your runs and soulful tone slides. And of course the poetic poignancy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Music is universal i recently sang this song in Estonia and it was known crazy how music brings people together let it be known sing a song rather than fire a bullet its nicer and saves lives
@Semper fidelis Semper Paratus it isnt what English means its what all the top bands sing abba sang in English even though they didnt speak English its just the universal language and as far as Germany never had a problem they nearly all speak English even visitors from other countries were speaking English to able to corrispond
That was wonderful, just wonderful to listen to. This lady complements all the singers she sings with on this show. I have not long come across this but love watching and listening 👍
Mich wundert das irgendwie auch und dann auch wieder nicht! Ina ist einfach total Klasse. Ihre offene, authentische und humorvolle Art ist absolut anziehend. Und sie hat keine Angst.
His vòice and range paint such a beautiful picture. Just take look at the expressions of the crowd, both inside and outside of of the bar. His voice has captured their rapt attention. I've never witnessed a group of people so still and totally enraptured by what they were hearing. GP made a new base of fans with one unforgettable song in an unforgettable place.
Who is listening in 2019? Man this is bada$$. She has a really nice voice to compliment Greg and Chip Crawford on keys. Gregory Porter could sing a flight delay and he would get a standing ovation.
Oh wow I'm just now hearing this song. That's the beauty of music and the time it is discovered; it's all ways the right time. I love his music and this video💯❤
Ja, die Ina ist einfach sehr sehr musikalisch. Ganz wundervoll wie sie diesen Hünen von Bariton der allerersten Güte begleitet hat,das hat gestimmt, hat wunderbar harmoniert. Danke für all die wunderbaren Stunden guter und lustiger Unterhaltung^^
I would do anything to sing alongside this great man, even if it's just a chorus to one of his songs. Love the way he gives meaning to each and every word he sings. He is just great!!!!
Here's a man who knows how to sing from the deep foutain wells of his very soul!!! Every word is alive! This is why his songs sometimes moves to tears those who listen to them.
Resonates on many levels! Powerful message! Consoles any heart, soul or mind. Brings comfort and joy beyond measure! Loved also the exceptional Chip Crawford on piano and the heartfelt harmony of the lady fan!!! Simply beautiful, comforting and soulful from beginning to end. Karen
I haven’t received your gift, unfortunately. Perhaps, there is a mail delay. Hopefully, it will arrive soon. I’m on pins and needles to know it may come.
Vermutlich ist es unmöglich Karten fürs Event zu kriegen... Es ein exclusive Moment,wer es schafft, herzlichen Glückwunsch.... Kann diese Augenblicke nur beneiden, und gleichzeitig einfach nur froh drum sein.
Don't Be a Fool Songtext Don't be a fool Don't give your nights to someone else While giving days to those that really love you Don't be a fool like me And give your life to someone else While faking love to those who really love you Why couldn't I have realised The gravity of telling lies Who's weight now shoes upon your faceless mound I know your heart now and before But I won't do it anymore Trust in me and fall in love again Listen to these charms Cos' baby I'm not fooling And fall into these open arms of love Listen to these charms Cos' baby I'm not fooling And fall into these open arms of love Listen to these charms Cos' baby I'm not fooling around And fall into these open arms of love Why couldn't I have realised The gravity of tears in eyes Who's weight now shoes upon your faceless smile I broke your heart now and before But I won't do it anymore Trust in me and fall in love again Listen to these charms Cos' baby I'm not fooling And fall into these open arms of love Listen to these charms Cos' baby I'm not fooling And fall into these open arms of love Listen to these charms Cos' baby I'm not fooling around And fall into these open arms of love And fall into these open arms of love And fall into these open arms of love GREGORY YOU'RE JUST GREAT! Thank you for upload.
I think line nine may be wrong, or so it sounds to me. I think he sings ‘Who’s weight now shows upon your faceless smile.’ Either way it is sublime. Thank you for taking the time to write the lyrics out for us, though. Only trouble is when I join in I ruin everything! Peace and love to everyone in these crazy times.
Being native to Germany and bi-racial (German and African American), it makes me feel good to see how the German people still embrace real music. Unlike here in the States where appreciation for artists like Mr. Porter and for real music in general is no longer a concept.
I love this man! He is so refreshing. That voice is from the MOST HIGH. And the pianist accompany him so very well. I can listen to him all day long. Love you Gregory
The best thing about this video is people enjoying the moment and not sticking their phone up to record it all!
Wow. This man is one of the most beautiful, deep, singing voices God gave to humanity.
Yes!!!!
OMG I agree 😍
Gregory Porter is not just a great singer, he is a gentleman, too. Introducing his fellow musician, showing respect.
Yes he is. He is a very nice person.
Yes, and the solo on the piano is awesome, too! Serving the song.
I met him in a hotel lobby in LA when I was doing a bass session with a band for a TV show spot. He was so gracious. He allowed me to take a photo with him.

I can only imagine how appreciative he was. Thank you for sharing that.
Lucky you ❤
Amazing experience!! Now is impossible to get tickets to see him🙏
Only the was a video/recording for that,so that you can show it to us and your children..lucky you
My beautiful wife took me to see Gregory Porter last year for my birthday in Brighton in the UK. Ill never forget that evening.
The crowd is spellbound. This is the dream of every performer. He is the singer's singer. The pureness is quite stunning.

Only a great person would pause in the spotlight to recognize the greatness of others.
Love this man. His voice is truly a divine gift to humanity.
I absolutely Love your description , " A Divine Gift to Humanity " . I could not think of a better way to describe his Magic !! God Bless You ☮️
AMEN 🙏🏼
Gotta give the piano 🎹 man some love ❤️, he’s doing a excellent job!
Heartfelt lyrics written and sang by a genuine, humble man with a golden voice.
There is yet another proof that music is our universal language, and what a moving duet. Beautiful and so uplifting.
Pure gold. Gregory Porter is the epitome of class, charm, and soul.
The ladies voice made the love song even more beautiful
I miss this kind of music
Ina Müller
The two together is magical.
Unglaublich wie Ina auf jedes Lied in Weltklassemanier die zweite Stimme singt. Fantastisch
Gregory's voice manages so swiftly to create that internal sanctuary, you feel safe inside you own self!!! 👌

She may not speak English very well but she sure speaks the language of music beautifully.... Both of them are impressive.

Yes my brother we may not understand all Languages but when it comes to music then speak out of one mouth ,THE WONDERS OF THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
Her added harmonies were superb. Kudos to both and Chip Crawford on piano.

The blending of voices between the lady and Gregory is AMAZING!!
oh yes! she invites a lot of great singers to her show....
Absolutely fascinated. Smooth voices talking deep to the soul....❤
I don't really agree. She falls very short
This is what needs to be playing while eating Sunday dinner with your loved ones. This is soul food.
One of the cleanest voices in the industry now.
music is not industry
how right you are....😘💯💯💯👍
listen to peter cetera live, thats what i call clean :D
And i love his high highest and lowest notes! what a range.
LuluKinyozi Beauty I’ve been trying to find the best word to describe his voice “cleanest” is it"...... Thank you 🥰
Wow how perfect this is, beautiful,!!
Was looking for years to describe this man's artistry and I seem to have finally found it....I call it Christmas.
I’m graced with witnessing the music Mr Porter delivers in several countries. What a performer.
Just had some real chills when she joined in on the chorus!!
Brings tears to my eyes. Just awesome!
A pure talent. It's a amazing how music doesn't have prejudice.
I love that he makes sure to include the pianist Chip Crawford in the introduction. This man is wonderful.
What a joy... you have renewed my faith in the the soulful humanity of music
What a lucky pub hearing this. Melts your heart. Wonderful. Look at all the people outside looking in, wishing they were inside. 💗🥰
I love his music even better when Chip is playing Piano what a fantastic pianist could happily listen over and over again to every album
Mich wundert das irgendwie auch und dann auch wieder nicht! Ina ist einfach total Klasse. Ihre offene, authentische und humorvolle Art ist absolut anziehend. Und sie hat keine Angst.
This song is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard!
I LOVE Gregory Porter. What a wonderful stylist and singer.
Great performance by his buddy on the keys, too 👍
MetaphorHipHop yeah Porter is always very careful to always introduce his fellow musicians, very humble
Chip Crawford is a boss on them keys
Musik zum Träumen. Schon lange nicht mehr etwas so wundervoll Schönes gehört!!!
God Says , quiet everyone , Gregory Porter is about to Sing , and Every Beautiful Soul in Heaven listens to This Beautiful Soul on Earth 💖

I just keep getting drawn back to this performance. Love it. Best version by a country mile :-)
I discovered him a few months ago and I am hooked! What a talent! I just want to see him in a live performance.
Just got to know the man but I am deeply impressed.That is pure talent at it's best 👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🇿🇲
Lovely. The harmony of those two voices is magical!
What a beautiful voice, makes me melt away. 😘
For me he is the best singer of all time. Backing vocals is superb. First time I have heard this song and it brought me to tears.

Wunderschön gesungen. Danke!!

Did you check out performance at Polar Prize Concert for Sting?
Who is listening in 2019? Man this is bada$$. She has a really nice voice to compliment Greg and Chip Crawford on keys. Gregory Porter could sing a flight delay and he would get a standing ovation.
Tears. He is so artistically a genius. His tone reaches my soul..

Einer der größten Stimmwunder der Jazz Soul und Blues Sänger.
Beautiful !!! So good
I like Gregory Porter and nice duet
Holy smoke. I just heard Gregory sing this on WBGO. I was completely unaware of him. All those Grammies! Brand new fan, here.
Some people are here for a reason and he is here for what he does amen
Resonates on many levels! Powerful message! Consoles any heart, soul or mind. Brings comfort and joy beyond measure!
Loved also the exceptional Chip Crawford on piano and the heartfelt harmony of the lady fan!!! Simply beautiful, comforting and soulful from beginning to end.

Thank you for your reply. I will see you at your Charleston Music Hall Concert in February. My gift to a long awaited concert.
I haven’t received your gift, unfortunately. Perhaps, there is a mail delay. Hopefully, it will arrive soon. I’m on pins and needles to know it may come.
Happy New Year! May many blessings continue for you, family and band. Keep on keeping on.
This is so beautiful. We love y’all
What a performance! Love the singing, but the intermission at 3 mins is absolutely wonderful.
Vermutlich ist es unmöglich Karten fürs Event zu kriegen... Es ein exclusive Moment,wer es schafft, herzlichen Glückwunsch.... Kann diese Augenblicke nur beneiden, und gleichzeitig einfach nur froh drum sein.
Listening to this has given me goose bumps
Don't Be a Fool Songtext
Don't be a fool
Don't give your nights to someone else
While giving days to those that really love you
Don't be a fool like me
And give your life to someone else
While faking love to those who really love you
Why couldn't I have realised
The gravity of telling lies
Who's weight now shoes upon your faceless mound
I know your heart now and before
But I won't do it anymore
Trust in me and fall in love again
Listen to these charms
Cos' baby I'm not fooling
And fall into these open arms of love
Listen to these charms
Cos' baby I'm not fooling
And fall into these open arms of love
Listen to these charms
Cos' baby I'm not fooling around
And fall into these open arms of love
Why couldn't I have realised
The gravity of tears in eyes
Who's weight now shoes upon your faceless smile
I broke your heart now and before
But I won't do it anymore
Trust in me and fall in love again
Listen to these charms
Cos' baby I'm not fooling
And fall into these open arms of love
Listen to these charms
Cos' baby I'm not fooling
And fall into these open arms of love
Listen to these charms
Cos' baby I'm not fooling around
And fall into these open arms of love
And fall into these open arms of love
And fall into these open arms of love
GREGORY YOU'RE JUST GREAT! Thank you for upload.
Love
Thank you I’m singing already now I know wat to say
My 4 year old daughter snatched the phone off me and us mesmerised by this song I have to play it on repeat. ..just bliss
I think line nine may be wrong, or so it sounds to me. I think he sings ‘Who’s weight now shows upon your faceless smile.’
Either way it is sublime.
Thank you for taking the time to write the lyrics out for us, though. Only trouble is when I join in I ruin everything!
Peace and love to everyone in these crazy times.
Saw him tonight in Toronto - what a privilege. What a voice God has given this man. Swoon!
What a voice, those days we don't hear voices like this that much, it's pretty rare in fact... Sad times... Thanks Mr Porter.
I love this interpretation, Great
Фантастическая команда! Пианисту - огромное уважение! Грегори - бог!
Great Gregory, Chip Crawford, and the beautifully well sung host.
Being native to Germany and bi-racial (German and African American), it makes me feel good to see how the German people still embrace real music. Unlike here in the States where appreciation for artists like Mr. Porter and for real music in general is no longer a concept.
I think me and a couple million other Americans would vigorously disagree with your statement Sir ☮️
As expected Gregory killing it but my word this lady wow!
This is the way we should be. Let the music bring us together. Friends
I like the fact that he always introduces his fellow members
Outrageous...so Much love and art..and tears..
Trés charmant...clarity and comfort for the soul...you feel like you're home don't you?
Damn…..this man is pure soul ❤️👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️💪🏼
This is better than the album version. Really beautiful the two of their voices.
Yep! This is my favourite version 🎶
I love this man! He is so refreshing. That voice is from the MOST HIGH. And the pianist accompany him so very well. I can listen to him all day long. Love you Gregory
Such a vulnerable and wonderful song for to people who fall in love to bond over. Thanks Gregory! YM 🌞
So so so so....unbelievable....no words...thats awsome
