Ditto!!! Whenever it comes on, I stop and pay attention. Nationwide done good. After the third time hearing the commercial, I looked this guy up. I need that voice to continue more than 15 seconds!
Leslie is such a beautiful person, I can't believe this man actually exists. And then his beautiful wife!! How are he and Nicolette even real? Both so talented, I hope to see more amazing things as their careers progress!
Leslie Odom is one of the great American singers. He sings everything with skill, technique, soulfulness and passion. His tone is beautiful and complex, creating sound that wafts through the air like an elegant fragrance. Amazing artistry. Looking forward to much more music from him.
Wow! This is one of the best contemporary versions of this I've heard. I had no idea who this talented young man was 5 minutes ago but I'm sure glad I do now. (his rhythm section is really good too)
Please tell me that, somewhere, there's a recording of this. Although, I might just collapse if I heard him sing Les Feuilles Mortes. But seriously, if it exists, somebody please tell me. Please.
I will forever ❤❤❤ the Nat King Cole version of this song...SO TIMELESS. But Leslie Odom Jr. takes this vibe to ANOTHER GALAXY of TIMELESSNESS with this cover!! This is SO SMOOTH and ELEGANT and SENSUAL... ...WOW, IT'S INCREDIBLE!
This brother is a gift to the world and a breath of fresh musical air. Randomly heard him sing for president on the BET "Love & Happiness" special. I remember thinking, this brother is invoking the true gift of our ancestors and leaving his mark! Keep it coming! This is a great rendition ...Nat King Cole would be proud!
Man this brother is so Smoove this is grown folks music you can put this brother on when you're with your lady and just vibe with each other, or if you had a hard day at work put this brother on and release the tension I have never heard of him before but I'm glad I have now, he reminds me a lot of Marvin Gaye he is the rebirth of him I would love for him to cover some his songs he is now one of my favorite singers his Smoove voice melts away all the pain, hurt, confusion, disarray, disparities, I'm going out to buy me this guy's music.
Long Live you Leslie Odom Jr., You and your wife very HUMBLE couple, Leslie I love your fashion sense, and your wife is to cute for color TV :) so beautiful it seems inside and out God Bless you both !, Just great can get enough, FANTASTIC BAND AMEN WHEN YOU COME TO PHILADELPHIA , PA .OR NEW YORK CITY I WILL BE THERE!!!!!!!
Yesterday I saw you on the Steve Harvey show, what a blessing i finally found my Nation wide commercial young man. I love the tone of your voice. I was given 2 gifts for Christmas now I have 1 more. earlier Christmas morning around 2:30am I woke up to my apartment flooding. my neighbor upstairs had a mishap. nothing compared to what occurred the Monday just before thanksgiving, deep freezer broke and I lost all of my food reserve. My food stamps were cut, so I began stocking up frozen food, enough for approx. 6 months. the freezer was even 1 year old, but Walmart didn't respond in a timely manner even though I had an extended warranty for 4 years. I lost $943.32 worth of food what is devastating is that I used my credit cards to pay for it I still have to pay off the credit cards. I stocked up so I wouldn't have to stand in line at a food pantry begging for food. However, I learned something: on Saturday around 6:30pm there was a blackout! so without electricity, I could have lost the stock of food, Walmart needs to step up to the plate and do the right thing; by reimbursing me for my total lost and the situation and stress I have suffered because of the neglect, someone was suppose to take care of the matter on the first of December, but there was nothing. no call, no text nor an email. until later because I called, I have photos and have asked Shoprite to give me a printout of receipts for the course of the last 7 months. Why have I written al of this. I would like for you to forward this to Steve and ask him to contact Walmart on my behalf I am a senior that's slightly disabled. I can't live off of $3.42 cents a day for food. Because I worked the election board to supplement my income, I am going to be penalized to repay the over payment for earnings of 2016 & for 2017/ I earned $212.50 3 times in 2016, 212.50 twice in 2017. I have received less than $800.00 in SSI & SS. Now I will lose partial benefits from SSI with is approximately about $70.00 a month for over one year! AsurionCares offered me $300.00 dollars, I don't want less than 30% for my lost, as stated I still have to pay off the credit cards. Thanks, in advance I pray that you will take a few moments and send a copy to Mr. Steve Harvey! Have a wonderful prosperous New Year! Ms. Joyce Dyer
I SAW A SHORT CLIP OF AUTUMN LEAVES ON THE TELLY A # OF YRS AGO AND EVEN AT 71 AND MARRIED FOR CHRIST ONLY KNOWS HOW MANY YRS., I INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE. MOOZ
Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' is such an incredible, essentially buddhist meditation due to it's descending from the baroque and ancient music, and there is an early practitioner's wistfulness captured in this play of 'winter's approach' from the 'Autumn' tuning. Nice fingering on that piano.
This is what I call sheer class, not only is he a class act on stage but in every aspect, he just seems to be the complete package, so is his wife she compliments him very well, beautiful couples. Just for the record and the vast majority of people who has no clue, what sexy is, this man is the epitome of sexy, he doesn't take his clothes off, or dress trashy, no vulgar language or inappropriate behavior, just using the stunning voice God blessed him with as he show the world how it's suppose to be, sad to say but class and respect doesn't seem to exist anymore, kudos to you my friend........
This cat is smooth as silk. Seldom hear that old school vibe in this day and age. The spirit of Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis still lives on. Natural voice. One Mike!
I discovered him while watching a BET tribute to the Obamas at the White House. I was like this young man got "skills". Been a fan ever since. His voice is to quote a famous saying, "It's like butter baby!"
Holy _fuck_ he is talented. I remember him all the way back when he played a villain on Person of Interest season 3, and now here he is having met the President, acted in a cultural phenomenon and continuing his musical career. Happy he's come this far!
I love love this beautiful song. I was so sleep on him until my Philosophy professor played his music in class today. I live for this song. Finally some real smooth jazz. I haven’t heard some authentic jazz in a while. Thank you Leslie for your beautiful authentic soul.
Finally saw Hamilton during quarantine and glad I did. How have I never heard of this man before? His voice stood out to me, it’s amazing! Now I’m looking for more of him. Just finished listening to his albums 😍🥰
The falling leaves drift by my window The falling leaves of red and gold I see your lips the summer kisses The sunburned hands I used to hold Since you went away the days grow long And soon I'll hear old winter's song But I miss you most of all my darling When autumn leaves start to fall Since you went away the days grow long And soon I'll hear old winter's song But I miss you most of all my darling When autumn leaves start to fall I miss you most of all my darling When autumn leaves start to fall BEAUTIFUL.
Yep!!! I've decided!! Leslie's voice was inspired by the wind or the other way around or something. No exaggeration. Every single God-given characteristic of it is mirrored. The calculated movement, the stillness power, the control, the effortlessness the influence/effect... urgh 😫 whew!!! Such a natural phenomenon. So necessary, untameable... and recognisable. I need to hear more 😩😩😩
I f_ing LOVE you. You are on fire, everything you do is fantastically fabulous. Your acting is out of this world, too. God bless you, always. You are very important to the world, and to me! 🙂❤❤❤❤❤ P.S. Come visit Athens, Ohio, home of Ohio University, we will show you a wonderful time here in the Appalacien foothills.
I am listening to this right now in Chicago and it’s fall and this is filling me up and touches my whole heart and soul. Everything about this is excellent. The musicianship the young Leslie Odom vocals... thank you very much! All I can ask is next time make an extended version so that I can hear everybody stretch out on this piece!

I got him from Hamilton which is also amazing
There was Before Leslie Odom Jr. and After Leslie Odom Jr. came into my life....
Rent..yes
There was also Current Leslie Odom Jr.: The Hamilton One
I feel the same way!!!
That’s when Leslie Odom Jr walked into my life he said:
(Sorry I cant contain myself)
I seperate my life into Pre-Odom and Post-Odom.
HE USED HIS WIFE IN THE MV AND NOT A MODEL IM CRYING 😭😭
Freaking goals!!!! 😍😍😍🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
He's not allowed to be single with such a great voice
The wife is as hot as a paid model ... why not? : )
Smart girl...Happy wife happy life.
I mean, I don't see the big deal in that
Leslie is such a beautiful person, I can't believe this man actually exists. And then his beautiful wife!! How are he and Nicolette even real? Both so talented, I hope to see more amazing things as their careers progress!
Leslie Odom is one of the great American singers. He sings everything with skill, technique, soulfulness and passion. His tone is beautiful and complex, creating sound that wafts through the air like an elegant fragrance. Amazing artistry. Looking forward to much more music from him.
Would love to listen to Leslie sing Christmas songs. His voice is soothing and perfect!

Wow! This is one of the best contemporary versions of this I've heard. I had no idea who this talented young man was 5 minutes ago but I'm sure glad I do now. (his rhythm section is really good too)
Mark Heinze he plays aaron burr in Hamilton
yes - totally agree
Have you heard of Hamilton? He was the original Aaron Burr in Hamilton.
WAIT FOR IT
The way he resolves this song at the end is just pure vocal genius!👏🙌👍❤️🎼🎵🎶🎙🎹
That last part was 👌🏼 btw you Leslie and Nicolette are the cuteset couple
cutest*
Thank you.
She's his Theodosia 😄
Just saw Leslie on The View. The line: "Come back baby..Oh Darling" seems to be channeling Marvin Gaye Jr.
I just saw him sing this on the View... Super smoove and sultry, I'm so digging it
that's what brought me here too
that´s what brought me here too sooo smoove , im gonna some wine and the cd
me too... I love it
So I just heard him perform this live and he sung it in French! Magic.
I’m so jealous! But that must’ve been so unbelievable ☺️
Please tell me that, somewhere, there's a recording of this. Although, I might just collapse if I heard him sing Les Feuilles Mortes. But seriously, if it exists, somebody please tell me. Please.
oh how romantic, what a beautiful language to listen to.
I will forever ❤❤❤ the Nat King Cole version of this song...SO TIMELESS.
But Leslie Odom Jr. takes this vibe to ANOTHER GALAXY of TIMELESSNESS with this cover!! This is SO SMOOTH and ELEGANT and SENSUAL... ...WOW, IT'S INCREDIBLE!
This brother is a gift to the world and a breath of fresh musical air. Randomly heard him sing for president on the BET "Love & Happiness" special. I remember thinking, this brother is invoking the true gift of our ancestors and leaving his mark! Keep it coming! This is a great rendition ...Nat King Cole would be proud!
bravo! voice reminds me of a modern smooth Marvin Gaye.
KK EE so true
He is a genius. His voice is liquid gold. No short of perfection!!!
There is one dislike WHO DARED

I was hooked after the first few seconds.

the voice of an angel
How is one guy so classy? Anyway, I could listen to this for years.

Pardon me, is this Aaron Burr, Sir?
Debrieta Murphy Burr: that depends. Who's asking?
Debrieta Murphy Oh well sure sir, I'm Alexander Hamilton I'm at your service sir
Alexia Scott I'm getting nervous
Sir… I heard your name at Princeton. I was seeking an accelerated course of study
When I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours...
*If you close your eyes and listen to him sing, I promise you'll forget where you are*
Vintage jazz standards vibe. Bossa nova tempo. I like it! 👍🏾
Leslie's voice is so freaking gorgeous and relaxing and DAMNIT HOW COME I'M ONLY JUST DISCOVERING HIM?!
Stop making love to my eardrums, Leslie.
+Cosmic Rogue: hahahaha thanks for making me laugh out loud in my cubical!

He did this on the 90th Birthday bash for Tony Bennett, too. Amazing!!! Beautiful!! Perfection!!!
I SAW A SHORT CLIP OF AUTUMN LEAVES ON THE TELLY A # OF YRS AGO AND EVEN AT 71 AND MARRIED FOR CHRIST ONLY KNOWS HOW MANY YRS., I INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE. MOOZ
I saw him first on the view singing “Speak now”. Love his voice.
Tony Bennett Celebrates 90: The Best Is Yet To Come brought me here. You nailed it. Fantastic!
Oh, here I am, watching my favorite Hamilton's character. I'm so in love with your voice and your Aaron Burr performance. Sooo good!
Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' is such an incredible, essentially buddhist meditation due to it's descending from the baroque and ancient music, and there is an early practitioner's wistfulness captured in this play of 'winter's approach' from the 'Autumn' tuning.
Nice fingering on that piano.
I love the direction of this jazz standard.Autumn Leaves as a bossa nova/Latin feel is always fun and Leslie kills it.
Most beautiful voice on this planet...
This is what love sounds like!❤️
This is what I call sheer class, not only is he a class act on stage but in every aspect, he just seems to be the complete package, so is his wife she compliments him very well, beautiful couples. Just for the record and the vast majority of people who has no clue, what sexy is, this man is the epitome of sexy, he doesn't take his clothes off, or dress trashy, no vulgar language or inappropriate behavior, just using the stunning voice God blessed him with as he show the world how it's suppose to be, sad to say but class and respect doesn't seem to exist anymore, kudos to you my friend........
amazing. genius. brilliant. beautiful. flawless
This cat is smooth as silk. Seldom hear that old school vibe in this day and age. The spirit of Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis still lives on. Natural voice. One Mike!
62 people disliked this... 62 people must be blind AND deaf...smh
Sounds like Marvin Gaye old school sounds of the 60s - absolutely beautiful.
Sam Cooke (One Night In Miami)
Leslie, I see you and Nicolette💖 When you sing, it’s like BUTTER!! Thanks for all the joy you give, Brother🌹
I discovered him while watching a BET tribute to the Obamas at the White House. I was like this young man got "skills". Been a fan ever since. His voice is to quote a famous saying, "It's like butter baby!"
Holy _fuck_ he is talented. I remember him all the way back when he played a villain on Person of Interest season 3, and now here he is having met the President, acted in a cultural phenomenon and continuing his musical career. Happy he's come this far!
i saw him live and he sounds exactly the same
Morgan Rush I love it when a singer sounds the same while recording and while a concert, like they didn't cheat on their voice to make it better
Leslie's version is one of my favourite ever songs. Like butter... I've only just discovered the video!
OMG HIS VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL
This is the eargasm I was talking about
I love love this beautiful song. I was so sleep on him until my Philosophy professor played his music in class today. I live for this song. Finally some real smooth jazz. I haven’t heard some authentic jazz in a while. Thank you Leslie for your beautiful authentic soul.
PBS Special with Leslie Odoms was AMAZING! What a talent. Wow!
Thank you Leslie Odum Jr. for simply singing and singing simply.
Finally saw Hamilton during quarantine and glad I did. How have I never heard of this man before? His voice stood out to me, it’s amazing! Now I’m looking for more of him. Just finished listening to his albums 😍🥰
Thank you, hamilton, for introducing me to this MASTERPIECE
I don't use to listen Jazz, but this version of Autumn Leaves is beautiful :)
Me: "YES FINALLY A MUSIC VIDEO FOR---"
RUclips tagline: ---3 years ago---
Leslie odom Jr. you're amazing
The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
BEAUTIFUL.
I would listen to this guy sing the tax code, that's how perfect his voice is!
His voice is so silky smooth. It puts me in a good mood even while riding Roosevelt Boulevard. If you're from Philly, you know what I mean.
Yep!!! I've decided!!
Leslie's voice was inspired by the wind or the other way around or something. No exaggeration.
Every single God-given characteristic of it is mirrored.
The calculated movement, the stillness power, the control, the effortlessness the influence/effect... urgh 😫 whew!!! Such a natural phenomenon. So necessary, untameable... and recognisable. I need to hear more 😩😩😩
This is truly MAGICAL.. and one of my all time FAV songs ... he made it all his own. A Master
"AWESOME SINGER & PERFORMER, INDEED" - DEBORAH J. STEELE - 5/21/19
His voice is magic! The smoothest vibe of this time.......simply, classic.
Feel like walking through New York in the fall past all the brownstone steps of the homes lining the streets feeling awesome listening to this song.
Oh this beautiful beautiful voice 😍😍😍
I can not stop listening to this song....
Nationwide was really on my side because they led me to Leslie!
If there’s a reason I’m still alive and Leslie hasn’t noticed me yet, then God damnit I’m willing to wait for it!
Leslie is a precious little baby!! Him and Alina Baraz’s voice go good together both calm and smooth
Nation wide is on ur side
I love this man....his voice...this song brought on tears...this is so so sweet...got to have this CD.
Listening to you is like listening to rebirth of music that never died in the first place........I love it ...beautiful
How hasn’t he blown up yet??? This man deserves millions of views!
I f_ing LOVE you. You are on fire, everything you do is fantastically fabulous. Your acting is out of this world, too. God bless you, always. You are very important to the world, and to me! 🙂❤❤❤❤❤ P.S. Come visit Athens, Ohio, home of Ohio University, we will show you a wonderful time here in the Appalacien foothills.
Amazing! I love that kind of song ! Blues baby!
Pure class. Leslie Odom Jr. Jazz for our times. Worldly, woke, edgy, cool, sexy
This is so beautiful - your voice, the music, the visuals. Fantastic work!
I am listening to this right now in Chicago and it’s fall and this is filling me up and touches my whole heart and soul. Everything about this is excellent. The musicianship the young Leslie Odom vocals... thank you very much! All I can ask is next time make an extended version so that I can hear everybody stretch out on this piece!
This album is amazing. Real music. Thank you.
Leslie you have such a smooth jazz voice. You are fantastic. I will continue to follow your music. I wish you the best....which is yet to come !
Man that voice! Smooth! I'm addicted
dang, it's rare to see class from today's music. GJ Leslie.
