      Check out his performance of Purple Rain with the Metropole Orkest... One of many great performances of him as a vocalist you'll find on YT but in my opinion definitely among the best.

      If you like this he does MUCH more than just "that solo with Snarky Puppy..." several live albums with that band (Sylva, groundUP, Family Dinner Vol. 2, more) as well as many amazing live performances with the funk apostles (rooftop, jazz fests, etc.), BBC Proms with Jacob Collier, his own solo albums...

      Sharay has always been an incredible bassist, been a follower of his since he played for CeCe Winans “Throne Room Tour” back in 2004, but since that time especially with Funk Apostles, Sharay Reed has continued to evolve into something other worldly, I mean its unexplainable. He feels the soul, funk, and gospel and just takes it to another planet. Incredible work!

    You guys should really start crediting all of the musicians (not only the featured ones) in the descriptions for these videos, not only because it's deserved but because a lot of us would like to find out more about many of them & what other projects they're involved with.

      He has such a short practical singing range though. He cannot even pull off the low notes he included. And he cannot belt out in his main working octave - only on his high notes. The music is repetitive and gets boring quickly because of the poor lyrical writing.
      And that studio needs to invest in an extra plug-in A/C unit cause the band is swimming in sweat :P

      Victory Sampson ...only somebody so shorted minded and negative (and without a serious músical knowledge) would start a criticism based on a vocal short range. As you pointed out, a brief but careful dive into the style would clarify the “considerations stated by Joesdf.

    I am so proud of Cory. I have all of his recordings and have watched him for years on TH-cam playing with Snarky Puppy, BBC specials and in various churches. This man is so incredibly talented. His voice is perfect, raspy and raw - exactly what is needed for his music. In the days of auto-tune, it is absolutely refreshing to hear singers sing and hear instruments played.

    A lot of hate on Cory’s singing in the comment section here. Pretty dumb, being that he absolutely isn’t bad at all.
    The type of gospel singing he’s doing lends itself to some ridiculously monstrous singers, and his voice isn’t world shattering, but perfectly fine. Most likely better than yours lol
