It is about time that the media learns that good music has no category. When duke Ellington was asked about rock and roll and believe he stated diplomatically; " There is good music and bad music." Your music is wonderful and makes sense; thus it is GOOD music.
I just sent his to Ruthanne Wad, priest at Church of the Ascension. She has a magnificent piano in her sanctuary...Thank you for this anthem to compassion.. Lovely and powerful...xo Lynn
It says one take, but Laila and her bandmates are so practised that that's all it took. They probably played a hundred times or more. So so beautiful!!
One of my favorite Gregory Porter songs. Absolutely beautiful. I just realized I've never heard a cover of one of his songs and I am floored by this one.
Just heard this on an Amazon Music playlist and obsessed. Such a beautiful voice and song. Sorry for butchering it in my car but I can't help but sing along.
Laila, this is absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful interpretation and wonderful video of you and your fantastic band. The way you elegantly navigate the interval leaps add such poignancy to the lyrics. The tenderness made my heart ache. Just what I needed to start my day.
Truly amazing, intricate, and so richly expressive! It's hard to describe the beauty of your music in words! Thank you, Laila, and each of you for sharing your God given talents!
@@lailabiali Honestly, before this version (Yours) I was aware it's Greg's composition, and as per his usual, was good. However, it just didn't pull me in as yours has done. Again, beautifully executed. Thank you!!! FYI, I have also purchased it from itunes. LOL!
Laila Biali, you are my new favorite singer in the world. I LOVE your voice, your new album is killer, and this version of Take Me to the Alley is absolutely gorgeous!
You are one of my inspirations and references, Ms. Laila Biali. What a wonderful arrangement for this beautiful song by the incredible Gregory Potter. Congratulations also to everyone involved. Success and I hope to see you here in Brazil. Hugs and stay in Peace and Light always.
@@lailabiali You're an artist. When you go to the fifth at the end of the tune, on the word "pardon" (and once earlier as well) I start to tear up. This recording approaches Art.
omg best cover ever. its so amazing it gives joyous tears. this is so amazing i can just listen to it forever. hopefully it becomes an album or a single on vinyl sometime.
@@lailabiali your so very welcome. ty so much for this version of the song as well as the studio release. first time i ever heard it was on a canadian jazz station and searched for this song right then and there and finally found it. its so amazing i get tears of joy from it hearing it as much as i do. i speak my heart. ty so much again.

Well, the guild their houses
In preparation for the King
And the line the sidewalks
With every sort of shiny thing
They will be surprised
When they hear him say
Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me to the lonely ones that somehow
Lost their way
Let them hear me say
I am your friend
Come to my table
Rest here in my garden
You will have a pardon
Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me to the lonely ones that
Somehow lost their ways
Let me hear me say
I am your friend
Come to my table
Rest here in my garden
You will have a pardon
They will be surprised
When they hear him say
Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me to the lonely ones that
Somehow lost their ways
Let them hear me say
I am your friend
Come to my table
Rest here in my garden
You will have a pardon
You will have a pardon
Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me, take me, take me
Such powerful lyrics. They move me, too.
