Sting and Wayne Shorter received the Polar Music Prize on June 15, 2017 at a ceremony at Konserthuset Stockholm, Sweden. Several artists honored the Laureates together with the The Royal Stockholm Philarmonic Orchestra, led by maestro Hans Ek.
Artists performing in tribute to Sting and Wayne Shorter, included Gregory Porter, Jennie Abrahamson, Lennart Åberg, Marius Neset, José Feliciano ( • José Feliciano perform... ), Jelena Krstic, Josefin Runsteen, Ane Brun ( • Ane Brun and friends p... ), Linnea Olsson, Fredrik Ljungqvist and The Tallest Man On Earth ( • The Tallest Man On Ear... ).
José Feliciano also read the citation for Sting ( • Sting receives the Pol... ):
"The 2017 Polar Music Prize is awarded to the singer, musician and composer Sting, real name Gordon Sumner, from Wallsend in Northumberland. Sting grew up in a shipyard town in northeastern England. As a child his thoughts and dreams roamed as far as the ships that sailed from his town. Internal and external travel has also characterised his music. As a member of the trio The Police, and later as a solo artist, Sting has never sat back and rested on his laurels; he has put down his anchor in more musical harbours than perhaps any other artist of his generation. As a composer, Sting has combined classic pop with virtuoso musicianship and an openness to all genres and sounds from around the world. Sting is a true citizen of the world, who has also been indefatigable in using his position as an arena-filling artist to promote human rights."
The Polar Music Prize was founded in 1989 by the late Stig ”Stikkan” Anderson, one of the true greats in the history of popular music. As the publisher, lyricist and manager of ABBA, he played a key role in their enormous success. Its name stems from Anderson’s legendary record label, Polar Music.
The Polar Music Prize is one of the most prestigious and unique music prizes in the world, crossing over musical boundaries and awarded to individuals, groups and institutions in recognition of exceptional achievements.

Whose here for the 1000th time, it’s probably me💆🏾♂️
And me !
I’m here for the 1,000th time too. Fabulous rendition ... even better than the original??!! Probably ....
I’m just glad I’m not the only one that keeps coming back to this! It’s so amazing I randomly send it to friends just so I can see if they can pick up on greatness or not 😂🎼
I'm not alone 😊
We are not alone... the Force is strong with this one... great man, Incredible singer... if you haven't already, do a little deep dive into his early life... no surprise a man this great would come from an amazing Mother
I actually had the opportunity to see this live. Transformed the atmosphere in the room completely. It was pure magic.
You were really there ? did the audience like this? its hard to tell from a video peace 2 u
You were quite fortunate. Brilliant rendition.
OMG that's wonderful 😊
Wish I could've been there!
Superb!
Sting wrote a timeless, classic song and Gregory Porter made it unforgettable. It's beautiful!!
Let’s give credit where credit is due.
The leitmotif of this song was written by Michael Kamen for Lethal Weapon 1-3.
Sting - vocals, backing vocals, bass
Eric Clapton - acoustic and electric guitar
Steve Gadd - drums
Michael Kamen - keyboards, strings arrangement
Stephen McLaughlin - percussion
David Sanborn - alto saxophone
@@yourpalanon8182BullShite 🤡
Sting, Clapton and michael kamen were the official composers.
According to a youtube-clip with Sting,it was Clapton who came up with the music and Sting who wrote the lyrics.
Phony 🤡 of holly wood
I agree
Who has just been introduced to this song April 2024...Its probably Me 😍
Who's in tears right now?.. It's probably me. Well done, sir! 👏
Watching this on my way to work…on the bus…in tears, myself. Beautiful
😂😂😂😂😂😂
But you need to ask yourself why are you in tears?
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Isaiah 45:17
“But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.”
This comment is soo good 😂😂
Me, it hit that chord.😢
No one's talking about the phenomenal band/orchestra. Perfection absolute.
Yes you are correct, they play the hell out of this song! AWESOME!!
The only person guiding the orchestra/band is that guy with a voice of diamonds 💎
@@stevenwilliams6001 q
They are musicians, they are supposed to be flawless, no?
@@11arsenalfc1 yeah because they're robots
You gotta admire the guts it takes to sing a classic song in front of the artist who wrote and sang the original ❤
Talk about a pressure cooker!!
Facts
Sting knows that the guy on stage did a better job singing this song...I dont even hear the original in my head anymore...
@@joshuabolwerk5536Yeah, I was thinking he was saying, "He is singing my song better than me."
That's an even greater tribute to the man who sang it first!!!
6 years later and still keep coming back to this wonderful rendition of this song!! Pity it’s never been released as a download!!
Same friend
I found it on Apple Music and Spotify, it’s included in Porter’s collection: Still Rising.
Me too
Same here...
Just rip the audio from this file. Pretty easy to do with 4K Video Downloader or something similar. Then you can put it in your iTunes Folder on your computer and push it to your phone. aac format for Apple devices. Some of the people I like who sound way better live (Milk Carton Kids, Mandolin Orange, etc.) than they sound in the studio (most producers don't have the talent to capture an excellent artist in the studio), I have to grab their audio like this.
How many people rolling into 2020 still watching and loving Gregory’s performance?!?!?
100
Love him. Saw him in Boston...maybe 8 or 9 yrs ago. Just wow. He is incredible. And I love this song. ♡
About twice a day for the past 2 months 🥃 tink
probably me too bruh...
Moi
I respect and love both artists tremendously. For those who criticize this rendition let me be clear....the mark of a true artist is not to create an exact duplication, but to elevate the work in a manner that is true to the artist performing the work. That's what Porter does. If you search for Stevie Wonder's version of Fragile, Stevie makes it his own. The true beauty is that Sting created a masterpiece capable of duplication for inspiration. THAT is the gift....it keeps on giving.
Thank you, beautifully said. No need for me to add anything here as it was my feeling exactly.
@@davidmalik9821 I'll double that expression - TY Desiree!
Indeed - he makes it his own. And I'd like to chip in on the Stevie's version of Fragile, even Sting had to nod his head at the mastery of Stevie's version - there was nothing to say. Mike drop.
Well said
Interpretation is the magic.
Who's watching this in january 2024......probably me ❤
Feb ‘24!
Feb 24❤

Never going to stop loving this ❤
Me too
Who is listening to this version for the 1000 time, is probably me❤❤
What Gregory Porter does with Sting's lyrics is pure gold!❤❤❤
Yes he is Golden and the Orchestra is Phenomenal.
You know of any more of them? Shape of my heart?

As a former homeless man, this really resonates with me. Too proud to beg and too dumb to steal. I pray that I never have to walk that path again, and I hope that those who find themselves in that position can get out and move on.
Update:
Much love to all you guys. I didn't think I wrote anything interesting, till I saw this old post awhile back. Thank you guys for all the support!
I pray that you will always have a roof over your head and plenty of food to eat.
Chill Mann feel ya buddy, been there myself
All the best for the future, to you and your family
Chill Mann Amen & Amen🙏🏿
Good luck brother 😀❤
2.10 minutes Sting realises he has made a classic and is witnessing a classic performance of his own material.
Sting: "That's how I meant to say it."
This man's voice is filled with pure soul. Me and my fiancée watched him at the Royal Albert Hall this summer 2023- and have tickets to see him again at the same venue in December 2023. I lived in hostels and have been without friends or family during my life. This song sings straight to my heart and soul. Even now that I have found a good job and a life, this version and song reminds me of the despair i felt. Deep down you never forget. "Its probably me"
Very well said!
I'm very happy for you my friend ❤️ 💕 😊.
That's why, no matter what you're going through.....Never give up hope .
The lyrics; ....and you find yourself on the cold cold ground.
Wow. Thank you for sharing. I’m glad you’re in a better place.
Let God love on you. He wants to. You are a treasure.
He captures the emotion behind the lyrics in his voice. And that orchestra! WOW!!!
The orchestra is right! I get goosebumps 💝
That's what you call elevating a song, as Mr. Porter taps into the pain of the character with his bold rich tones. Par excellence.
Steam немножко обиделся чувствуется
Stings confusion но держится как настоящий Аристократ
Let's mark the 2029 register of beautiful souls🌻 who are here playing this jam... Feeling good to be alive🌱.....who's here with me? ☘️🌴😍🌺
Feeling good
Every time I watch Gregory Porter singing this song and see Sting and the rest of the audience taking it in my eyes fill with tears. It’s just so beautiful. So mesmerizing. ❤❤❤
just like you sister
Facts! DEEP
A moment in time
Me too!
Totally agree.
If someone is playing this on repeat...it’s hard to say it, but it’s probably me!!!
Me too.
Every day I listen to Gregor porter at home and in my car. He is so cool, that voice, umm
😂😂😂😂😂
😭😂😂😂😂😎😎
🤣🤣🤣🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
My God who’s still here! Can’t stop watching
it's probably me lol
Sting’s face says it all. “I’m being outsung by this brother right now.”
Cheers to both sting and gregory.
🤭
Sting looks like a proud music instructor sitting there watching and admiring his student perform with excellence.
@@therealaquaman129😕
Sorry but I prefer 1000 times Sting his voice it’s perfect for that song 🤷🏻♂️
if someone is playing Sting and Gregory Porter on repeat....it's probably me.
I'm here with ya, buddy!

add me to the list !
It's probably me
twanb4 ~ Put me on the List of Repeats.😎
Because it's probably me👌
No strobelightning, no background disturbing dancers, sittning on a chair and have a 100% delivery. Magnificient!!! Bravo!!!
Amen to that! 🙏
Yeah. Just music.
Absolutely! Pure talent.
Now that’s how you cover a LEGENDS song with them in the audience and ROCK IT!!!!
Gregory Porter elevated that song to a higher level knowing that it is already a great one - Outstanding
If someone just heard this great song for the first time it's probably me.
What!!!? Oh my gaaad!!
Does it hard to say it?
@@beccareynolds4625 7
Its me 2
Terry Hampton 😂😂😂 I appreciate your honesty and your appreciation for what truly is a beautiful song. The lyric is full of thought provoking meaning and the melody is charming. And although the song originated with Sting, Gregory personifies the very image he sings of--and that personification is just the opposite image that the audience, themselves, portray. I wish I could've been paid $10 for every analytical thought they had. Man, I'd of left there with my pockets bursting at the seams!!!
If someone's sitting up all night listening to Gregory Porter, it's probably me.
...and me!
Andddddd me.....
You would not be alone!
It touches all of your senses. Let's hope we have someone else who cares!!
Probably me too
Gregory's voice is like warm chocolate on a strawberry 🍓
When I’m alone i play this & thank god for all my experiences good & bad & realize how precious the gift of life is🙏🏾😇✌🏾🔥
This song is scientifically proven to make you 12% cooler just by listening to it.
Cool. I'm a little cooler. cool.
Very funny, thanks
Yup
I feel cooler allready !
I agree 100% the fact that I know this exists makes me feel like a cooler person
The guy sitting next to Sting's wife has his eyes closed and is allowing that beautiful voice to sooth his soul.
I always watch that man's expressions whenever I watch this vid, and I've watched this vid countless times. His expressions mirror mine when listening to GP.
His younger brother.
I notice the same thing!
His face is a whole vibe!
Sting too is feeling it. You can see him say 'ooh' at one point, very subtle but he is digging it.
Do your self a favor & catch this brother when he graces your city.. This brother sounds just like the record. Thank u for the show in New Orleans tonight . Fan for life my brother.
Of course Gregory Porter is going to smash this, He's a singer. Sting is a songwriter first and foremost. Many of the greats in songwriting aren't entirely technically correct singers, but they sure do have bucketloads of passion in their creations in order to pull it off! All in the process of providing great songs for the wonderful singers in our world to provide us with their own unique rendition. Great stuff.
This is one of the very rarest cover songs -- this artist snatches the song entirely out of the hands of the author and makes it more real. THAT WAS FUCKING MAGNIFICENT
You're right
This is why I love covers that change the original! Even if its not better, its different. But its gotta be good. Puddles Pity Party has some amazing covers. I recommend checking him out if you don't know him
pretty much
Awesome -what performance.
Bullshit! He’s good but faaar away from Sting! I have spoken
I'm 48 years old - Never heard a better cover.
Truth
I m 52 and same thing for me
Nobody better Sting! This man first! Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels😆
This is one of the best covers in history. Chill inducing...
What a proud proud moment for a true song writer, to hear your words be sung and spoken by such a vocal master!! This song is truly timeless and the lyrics and the musical arrangements are simply superb!!!! And Mr. Gregory Porter, you better saaaaaang!!! Give it up for the orchestra too!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤Sheer perfection!!!!
Sting: Someday, someone will sing this song better than me.
Gregory Porter: It's probably me.
ha ha ha ! Exactly my initial reaction !
Hahaha
Sorry I prefer the original song.
R Back in the 80s as a kid I was cycling past the Flask Pub in Highgate and Sting almost ran me over. He slammed on the brakes, got out in a panic, and asked me profusely if I was alright. We lived just round the corner from him. He walked past us two months later on the the High Street and recognised me. He stopped to ask how I was, and apologised again even though it was actually my fault. He’s anything but a prick.
Bullshit. Gordon is better.
The look of pride on Stings face is just glorious to see!
Back again
Yessssss!!!
Resident
Never gets old ❤️
Nodding along thinking this is gold, best performance of the night Porter absolutely owns it.
Gregory Porter's voice always makes me think that this must be how good, smooth brown liquor must taste. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ HIS VOICE!!!! And that steel guitar is so appropriately haunting in this.
I'm here again 2024
Same here brother, SEE You next year
Me too! Absolutely amazing
Me!
Me too....probably stop by a few times every year until I can't
It’s probably me
I have loved Sting's original song but this rendition by Gregory Porter ... WOW, his voice simply transports one to somewhere else!!! Very soothing and relaxing! Absolutely beautiful!!!
4:25 soothing?
I love it
@@RocketCalcuttaYOU obviously know absolutely nothing about singing and the whole process of feeling the music. Sting sings out of tune all the time. I've heard him at concerts. I don't care because it's ALL ABOUT THE VIBE!!!!🎙🎶
@@FunkyCarla but you have to admit that this voice crack is the opposite of soothing 🤣
Agreed , indeed .
Just found this. May 2021. Can’t stop listening. Headphones, in the car, whilst cooking, before I go to sleep, when I wake up. Hell, it’s non stop in my life right now. Incredibly awesome version.
DAMN !! Somebody else just did the same thing !!!
It’s probably Me !!! ❤️💛🖤💚
I feel like I'm personally responsible for 20 million of the 30 mil views. It hit's hard. Solid blueprint of a song (Love to Sting) and built just for Gregory to come along.
Me too
@@sharonsylvie3924 and I find it 8 hours later! Wowee, nuts
I stand with you on that. It's a beautiful song to keep the ego in check ya know? So glad it's in constant rotation for us! 30Mil Views- Solid
That pedal steel player made my whole day !! Its part as so enchanting and mesmerizing ! Thank you for that !
I love the confidence he had walking on the stage.
He knew he was going to get almost everyone's attention.
Love this version. ORIGINAL TOO.❤❤
Gregory Porter is a great singer, but these lyrics prove that Sting is an amazing song writer.
indeed, he killed it
Clapton was co writer so not sure Sting gets all of the credit
Written by Eric Clapton and somebody else... check it out....
One of the best
Not written by Sting. Clapton and 2 others. Name of writers shown on screen before GP begins to sing
Who's totally addicted to this version?
It's hard to say it
I hate to say it
But it's probably me
Me!!!!!!!!!❤😊
Me too ✋️, lifts me up for the day.
❤❤😊😊
I can't get enough of this!
What more can I say except this performance has touched me and actually brings tears to my eyes each time I listen to it. I can feel the emotion. No doubt he used his own life experience to make you feel what this song brings out! Absolutely brilliant!
Sounds like he’s been taken out of the 1970’s soul scene and transported to now. Great voice, tempo and tone.
Yes dude, very special.
I strongly 💪 agree!
Absolutely. Well said. From a time gone long by his voice and interpretation of this song sound.
Sting is hearing, watching, observing,....and thinking: he nailed it!!!
More like fuck those 90s coke sure helped me create some magical songs.
That he did
I love watching Sting's expression during this performance. I believe he regards this as one of the best covers of his songs. You can just see the humility, gratitude, and awe on his face.
This is one of the nicest songs I’ve ever heard. Singing, lyrics, music. All nice.
He had that audience captivated
How marvellous is Gregory's voice! Who can always be watching this over and over again? It's probably me! ♥
Sorry Elsa - I hate to say it -, but it's probably me! ;)
@@laurentlambert6347 The more I listen to him,the more enchanted I get! Thank you for the same feeling!🙏👌
And me!
Me too
Or ME!!🤗🤗🤗
If the night turned cold
And the stars looked down
And you hug yourself
On the cold, cold ground
You wake the morning
In a stranger's coat
No one would you see
Ask yourself, 'Who'd watch for me?
'My only friend, who could it be?'
It's hard to say it
I hate to say it
But it's probably me
When your belly's empty
And the hunger's so real
And you're too proud to beg
And too dumb to steal
You search the city
For your only friend
No-one would you see
You ask yourself, 'Who could it be?
'A solitary voice to speak out and set me free'
I hate to say it
I hate to say it
But it's probably me
You're not the easiest person that I ever got to know
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
Some would say
I should let you go your way
You'll only make me cry
But if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
It's hard to say it
I hate to say it
But it's probably me
When the world's gone crazy, and it makes no sense
And there's only one voice that comes to your defence
And the jury's out
And your eyes search the room
One friendly face is all you need to see
And if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
It's hard to say it
I hate to say it
But it's probably me
I hate to say it
I hate to say
But it's probably me
I hate to say it
I hate to say
But it's probably me
I hate to say it
I hate to say
But it's probably me
Thank you for putting these up.
Wonderful
It's Is Magical, Indeed 😢
Thank You- 🎉🤩✌🏽
This is crazy honestly. Like we don’t even deserve to be listening to this talent 😭😭😭😭😭
What a brilliant way to tell the bitter truth about human relationships. Who you really can always count on. "Probably Me.."
I hadn't heard of Gregory Porter till this time. I was here for Sting. I instantaneously fell in love with this voice. What a performance!
You should check Natural Blues with Moby.
Listen to his albums... Amazing
I'm just knowing today, and I'm a music junkie.
We must have watched a different performance
@@travisvance3595 I found him from the Graham Norton show of all places! First time hearing his voice and I'm a fan
That Gregory Porter interpretation is just insane. That Sting song is simply cosmic for the heart and soul .
The fact that he measure a beat with his fingers on mic tube tells you something about his abilities.
I love the bluesy feel this rendition has Mr.Porter did an amazing job. I love his voice and the patience he approaches this song with. Also the band did a PHENOMENAL job as well!!!
Who’s watching this in February 2021 ?
It’s probably me !
Awesome :)

@@zeeone4492 look at the smile at the end and make an educated guess.
@@alanserjeant4947 he's in an audience with the cameras rolling
Go figure
@@zeeone4492 That didn't seem to make a difference when he was whincing when Jose Feliciano destroyed his music.
Sting looks reserved at first, then you see him start to dig it and he finishes with that smile of approval! Great song from way back, great rendition!!!👏
Sting invited Gregory to perform this song with him. It's so magical ❤❤❤❤
Let’s also give it up to the musicians behind Mr. Porters rendition....Outstanding 👍👍👍👍
Sweet vibe
I agree
Absolutely! Just brilliant :-)

Gregory Porter has a voice like a cosy blanket in front of a roaring fire
Sooooo true!!!
The performance of Gregory Potter is SIMPLY MOVING. Amazing song at its best performance!!
Hello all. I’m here again celebrating the 10,000th time. This rendition is intoxicating.
The look on Sting's eyes is everything! He looks like a proud papa!
Dolly parton felt the same way about whitney houston.
I'm sure!
wake up, it´s BLM time!
Exactly!!!!
I think you’re mistaken. The look in Sting’s eyes are praying 🙏🏻🙏🏻 that he’ll stop butchering his song. Piss poor cover.
I graduated a year after Greg in high school. We were on the track team together and in choir. He and his brother Cornelius were just genuinely real nice guys. Glad to see his singing success.
His brother is a pretty great singer too!

Its Probably Me Because it gets better each decade with grace 58yrs! thank you Sting and Gregory ❤
Never heard this version until today. Always loved this song. Dude literally has me in tears. Music is so powerful. ❤
This is probably me

Today for me and I love it ✔️🎼😊
It is a superb interpretation of the song. An instant classic. If Gregory hasn't already done so, he should record it. And the accompaniment is superb, as well.
Woz, how you doing Keyboard wrecker...
I'm a 50 year old husband and father and I am not ashamed to admit that THIS song always brings me to tears. I don't know why, but sting hit a nerve to my soul on a very personal level.
same here...my friend no shame
it's called Music actually.
53 here, same :)
50 too. 3 kiddos. I think it’s because I know it would definitely be me. And in your case, you
Hate to say it.... but its probably you!
Feel the responsability...
Goose bumps and tears
Great performance by Gregory Porter, absolutely incredible. Stings original has the atmosphere, Porters has the soul. Both great versions for different reasons.
Every time I come back to watch this MV (it always hits differently) but in a Good way!!🥰
Feeling that right now 🥰
This is the reason why Sting is one of my favorite artists of all time. He is such a wonderful story teller. I feel transported into the scene every time I listen to his songs.
Song was written by Eric Clapton
This song is not written by him thou.
@@doctorlovedoctorlove2238 No it was CO-written by Sting, Clapton and Michael Kamen. Sting wrote all the lyrics, Clapton wrote some of the melody.
@@manajizwow419 wrong
@DameTremonti its ah great great song one of the greatest songs of all time, that fact can't be debated.
The single best performance from any human anywhere anytime. Devastating.
That's what she said.
It's awesome but the best I'm not going that far, listen to Ben I Oncle under my skin, then reply.
Quelle merveille !!!
Voix magistrale, incarnée, quel swing 😮😮😮
Mr. Porter interprets and sings this sing with such ease ... Effortless when you have his voice range.
Confession🤭: I listen to this song once per week...like medicine. #humanity
KJ
So do I !!!!
@@annelieswallace237 It's good therapy!
Same here.
Likewise :)
Haha! I'm glad it's not just me. I'm actually up to about 4x DAILY! So poignant for me right now.
What a special performance. The arrangement alone is absolutely incredible. Porter just took this song to another level.
So true, a new level , relax Sting, just a rendition
His voice is so clear, but at the same time, it sounds like it was created deep down in the bowels of the earth.
Yes he did! The audience was feeling it and you could see that Sting was very pleased.
Amazing, until that last out of tune moment, but really good until there.
@@isaachebreromoreno7304 All artist do it! Still a great rendition!
HE HAD EVERYONES ATTENTION. THAT'S A MESMERIZING PERFORMER!!!!
I can’t get enough of this. I’ve watched it at least 100 times. Anyone else the same? 😂
The look on Sting’s face... total humility and appreciation! I absolutely love this! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
He looks so moved by it, like he’s listening to it for the first time.❤️
We need more Gregory Porter. ❤❤❤ His voice is old school Soul and Blues.
Sting’s wife absolutely loved that performance
Unglaublich, Porter wie immer faszinierend und mit dem Orchester einfach atemberaubend!
This was truly a special musical moment captured here. Sting looking like the proudest, most humble singer/songwriter/musician who saw his creation transcend his hands masterfully by an absolutely outta this world rendition by the incredibly gifted Gregory Porter and this band. The audience and all of us are actually quite privileged to witness and enjoy this. This is one of the purest, most perfect exchanges of creativity ever. The emotions, the experience and the memory of it...just WOW!
Privileged indeed. If you never got to hear Robeson. This is it.
Very well said
Перевод песни
I play this video almost every day! True. Sting is a great writer/composer. It must have been a joy (though he is holding it back visually) to hear his song performed at this amazing level. For me it is a joy to live through the Spiritual knowing shared here by Gregory!
Да. Интересный момент.
As a 40-year Sting fan, I can say that I've never heard anyone sing one of his songs and thought that it was better than Sting's version. Mr. Porter just broke that 40-year streak.
BassByTheBay : I agree wholeheartedly with you..but Stings original song Missing you was song by P.Diddy and Faith and backed up by a CHOIR..in intrembance to
Biggie Small and Tupac was a far more superior
than Stings original..Listen to it and let me know your comments either way both do justice to the song.,different times/dates and different meanings..
@@duanetrevorwilliams1269 I remember "Missing You" well. It was good but wasn't better, IMO. That doesn't mean it can't be better to you or anyone else, though 😊.
You need your ears checking then, because this was mediocre at best. Cold and soulless. Technically fine, but dull. Go back and listen to Sting’s - he performs it with warmth and soul.
@@asadacoehlo7964 It never ceases to amaze how people find ways to be rude for nothing more than a different preference. Like I said, I've been a Sting fan for decades -- I know his music very well and don't need to relisten to any of it. And I'm not the only one who likes this version better. But I'm not gonna tell you to get your ears checked.
@@BassByTheBay "I'm not the only one who likes this version better" isn't an endorsement. If it were, every music fad in history would be considered legendary.
Evidently you do need to relisten, because you'd know otherwise that this is a far cry from the original. Technically fine, but expressionless. Colourless. Soulless.
Don't get lost in the hype.
Every time I watch this chills go up and down my spine. Sting looking at Gregory with such profound happiness always gets me in the end. I’ve probably heard this version 2,000 times already😂😂 I can’t get enough of it. God bless you Gregory Porter🙏🏾
Just saw Mr. Porter in New Orleans 12/20/23 INCREDIBLE 🤗🔥🔥#doubleencore Who stayed until the very Last note 🙋🏾♀️Probably ME❤️❤️
If there’s anyone who loves this man and his voice and style......It’s Probably Me!!
Probably Me, lol 👍🏽 😎

Hard to sit there watching someone do a better job at singing your song than you. Gregory Porter is a master of his craft
This NEEDS to be released preferably on vinyl
