I’m a professional Vocalist as well. And, I always look out for other artists who present their artistry in unique, yet connecting ways! However, in recent years I stopped, because the talent of many lacked luster. Gregory Porter is such a master at his craft, but he does it so effortlessly! I can usually tell if the musician will strike a chord with me in the first 2 minutes of their music! He got to me in 30 seconds! I am in Love with his lyrics, his sound, & his soul as well as his musicianship! Phenomenal! I’m in Love with listening to other artists again! And, , I can listen to Porter all day-every day. Thank you, Mr. Porter! 🙏🏽❤️🎶🙋🏽
First time I saw him on TV in concert and within 2 minutes I fell in love , recorded it and someone deleted it.A colleague reintroduced me to his music and I never looked back. Gifted and humble musician.
I have never fallen in love so quickly with an artist. Wait...let me say I have never fallen in love with an artist:). I loved Prince and I loved Teena Marie...but there is something different and special about Gregory Porter. I just found out about him a couple of months ago and was able to catch him live at the Fox Theater in Oakland....trust and believe wherever he is performing I will be there. Every time I hear Way Back to Harlem it brings a smile to my face and I just want to jump up and dance like a crazy fool:)....I love love love Gregory Porter...and can't wait to catch him at the Monterey Jazz Festival this weekend. This is what you call real musicians and artistry and I am introducing his music to all of my friends. I need to purchase everyone of his CDs...Bravo...Bravo...Bravo Mr. Porter:) I'm so glad the football thing didn't work out for you because I couldn't imagine life without the sounds of Gregory Porter...now that I've heard it:)
This guy sings for the the good wolf that resurrect the lamb, a friend that has evolved. I will live my innocence and spontaneity with you as i have to wake up AMEN
I just love the way Gregory Porter and his masterful band take a song and soar with it - gently, softly, yet with spirit and intentionally rise. Together, they bring music to life, as in “Painted on Canvas,” “On My Way to Harlem,” “Liquid Spirit,” “Hey Laura,“ “Be Good, ” No Love Dying,” “1960 What?” , “Real Good Hands” and “Free..” There is an amazing magical synergy between Gregory Porter and band that moves listeners to travel with them - enjoying the musical and lyrical journey. Gregory Porter and band know how to bring you with them on every word and note. Thank you for reaching me and others!!! You touch my mind, heart, soul and spirit! Keep on keeping on!
If I'm crying watching this on my computer at my house, I'd probably have to be hauled away if I saw them live. What a voice Gregory has, and what a wonderful ensemble. Chip Crawford! Yosuke Sato!
ı first found your music on Turkish airlines .. I wanted to listen to Jazz and randomly picked you .. since then your music is on loop in may house . GOD BLESS YOU
Turkish Airways huh ... very interesting. Why does Mr Porter have to venture to Europe for his genius to be celebrated, while here at home (Oakland) .. literally - his zenith goes almost unnoticed.
I heard him for the first time in the Beauty Shop 3 weeks ago .I fell in Love with his music .His lyrics tells my story .See you in Detroit . I close my eyes .. Tells the story then tells the ending .To hear is to understand .He is incredible .. Go Bless and Keep. You
Bravo, Bravo (clapping) ...... Gregory Porter dresses to kill and Sings to Live.... I can listen over and over not tiring of his vocal style and watch continually appreciating his dress. He and the band deserve continued success.
Just beautiful I love this so much.. God Bless I can't get enough of it. It also reminds me so much of my father as he wasa a jazz drummer... I love this so much.. thank you and never stop performing you are all so talented! ANYONE that thumbs this down DOES NOT KNOW GOOD MUSIC.. This here is superb music. Had me in tears Song Wolfcry..
I am Caribbean born and live in New Jersey. And while driving, I turned the radio dial and heard this amazing man's voice accompanied by Ms. Lalah Hathaway, singing what I would later know as "Insanity"! Ohhhhmyyyygoodness!! I was and still hooked!!! Just absolutely beautiful!! 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
I love how he just steps back when a member of his band has a sole part in a song, he allows them to shine just as much as he does... Great Musician Gregory Porter is, Love his music
May The MOSHIGH keep blessing ya'll . We met on a Sunday morning my wife and I was asleep an we both heard the sweet sound of a jazz band on CBS. You guys are a breath of fresh air. What an Amazing Grace. One Love from BILL & FLORA. CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA.
Listening to this Musician just changed my life... i can't turn him off!... off to the itunes store to load up on all of his stuff... He'll be in Chicago next year... I'm there!
Your post is 5 years old now ... I wanted to ask if you have seen him live yet?? I too am a fan .. COVID brought me to this juncture in life .. Now I want Porter live - with an orchestra please ... What was your experience??
Beautiful! Your music and lyrics of “Painted on Canvas” touch my soul, heart and spirit! Thank you Gregory Porter! You are amazing! Keep uplifting my spirit! Karen Ross Grant Orangeburg, SC
this man this guy had the most impeccable voice I've ever heard I love his music and I won't stop listening to it to the end of all time great vocals and the just thank you thank you Gregory Porter I'm opening my eyes to a lot of things
Maurice..., Judy, Kenneth, You'll are right on it. I can't believe I hadn't heard of Him. But for the last 3-4 days it's been Mr.Gregory Porter. What a gospel... Good Music.
My former Beloved played "Real Good Hands" for me the day he asked my Dad for my hand. That was April 2016. Unfortunately, the love affair with him ended but the one with Mr. Porter had just begun. Unlike my former Beloved, Mr. Porter has never disappointed or left me lonely. Best gift he ever gave was the introduction. Daily dose of Liquid Spirit keep me going.
Beauty and the Beast! Gregory Porter's voice is an absolute thing of beauty and Chip Crawford is an absolute beast on the piano!! Trés fantastique! The rest of the band beautifully complement the enchanting fantasy!!
I was fortunate enough to see live in Charleston,SC.. @ the Low Country Jazz Festival on 9-2-23… Awesome, amazing, outstanding what a fantastic event 💕🎉🙏🏿😎

Gregory Porter reminds me of the stir the late, great Phoebe Snow caused in pop and jazz circles when she came upon the music scene. Being Sublime mixed with genius and a big dash of humanity with undeniable, once in a generation chops. Love Gregory Porter, miss Phoebe Snow with all I got.
True Master of his craft. Even on a late hot September cali night in 2021, Gregory Porter is still 🔥🔥. Shoutout to Yosuke Sato (sax) and chip Crawford (piano), 🙏🏿.
Ich war selbst in Dresden im Alten Schlachthof zum Konzert hat mich fast umgehauen ich habe ein paar mal so geheult weil es unfassbar schön war . Dankeschön Gregory Porter thnxfängst for the music♡
I've seen Gregory Porter twice in Toronto for the 2013 and 2014 TD Toronto Jazz Festivals. An incredible voice, amazing musicians and is really a nice guy to meet (he did a meet and greet after his shows here).
Muzyka gospel, jak i rodzinna kolekcja płyt Nata Kinga Cole’a to jego główne źródła inspiracji. Gregory Porter rozpoczął swą przygodę z muzyką, występując w małych klubach jazzowych w San Diego. Na tamtejszy uniwersytet dostał się dzięki stypendium sportowemu - podczas meczów futbolu amerykańskiego grał na pozycji obrońcy wspomagającego. Ale to muzykę wybrał jako swoje główne zajęcie. Stało się to dzięki lokalnym muzykom, wśród których późniejszym mentorem Portera okazał się Kamau Kenyatta. Kenyatta zaprosił Portera do studia nagrań w Los Angeles, w którym nad swoim albumem „Remembers The Unforgettable Nat King Cole” pracował wówczas flecista Hubert Laws. Gdy ten usłyszał Portera śpiewającego sobie podczas nagrania piosenki Charliego Chaplina Smile, zachwycił się młodym artystą i zaprosił go do wzięcia udziału w nagraniu płyty. Debiutancki album Portera „Water” (Motema Music) zdobył Grammy w kategorii „Najlepszy jazzowy album wokalny”. „Be Good” (Motema Music), wydany w 2012 r., zdobył kolejną nagrodę Grammy, tym razem w kategorii „Najlepszy tradycyjny występ R&B”. W 2011 r., w recenzji opublikowanej na łamach „New York Timesa” pisano: „mocny baryton i przekonujące wykonania czynią z niego samorodną gwiazdę, która wie, jak podchodzić do melodii, pracując nad ekspresją i budowaniem napięcia”.
6:30 -7:20 Amen 🙋🏻♀️💪God Bless you to forever ,never stop singing this is what you are called to do keep touching the hearts of man The Work is not finished yet
