The way Cory didn’t end on the tonic, made me think that there was a deeper meaning to it. A symbol of no end. Even though Melvin passed, his music will allways live. Rest in Piece!
If be ended on the tonic that ending would've sounded contrived and forced. Just because he didn't go all the way back to Bb doesn't mean it wasn't resolved
@@uncomfortableshirt no, it most certainly isn't resolved. By definition, that harmonic progression that Cory played is unresolved in a harmonic sense.
The Ending progression was Melvin's Signature Chord progression move that he recorded with James Hall; which is popular in gospel music circles. Cory played Melvins sigutuare move as the ending..that's why he was overcome by emotion at the end.
Charles Stevenson Nice obervation! I didn’t even think about that, hahah. That just goes to show how talented Cory Henry is implementing it in the end.
I've discovered something you might also have noticed. Hearing Cory Henry play jazz makes me want to focus on the music, but hearing him play gospel makes me want to read the comments. There's something about the community of gospel, the affirmations, the choirs, it just makes me want to hear everybody's joy in the comments. It's a minor miracle to find a happy comments section, but the gospel ones never fail.
Big props to the disciplined drummer! Sometimes it's more important to know when not to play as it is when to play. Great job of support Mr. Drummer. I hope you get plenty of work.
completely agree... what a groove and discipline to let Cory Henry shine and do his fantastic thing, but then also these subtle little hi-hat fills. Does his name show up somewhere?? Anyway: what a performance, the power of music in all senses!
@@uncomfortableshirt No, he indeed left it unfinished...there should have been a last bit there, but he left it out. Absolutely wonderful playing though!
@@kevindurant228 @Joeshmo sounds to me like he resolved on the Eb, maybe an inversion. But out of that progression it seemed to feel like a resolved cadance to some extent. I think the chord before it was a type of Bb inversion leading into the Eb, at least that's what I heard out of my phone.
I've NEVER seen a musician with such an overwhelming command of the instrument. Not only he plays the Hammond organ like no one else , but just look at all that switching and expression twists while playing.... jaw dropping !
The fact that's so wild to me is how he uses both preset changes and individual and group drawbar changes. I can't tell whether he's just going back and forth between the "b" and "b flat" preset keys to switch between one set of drawbars and the other, or also other presets. He's juggling a lot of drawbar positions in his head, whichever. It's funny, I can't even do quick drawbar changes on my M3 because there's so much dust in the contacts that if you're not careful you'll break a drawbar's circuit and mute that harmonic. It's especially bad on the 16'' drawbar for the upper manual. But if I could I can't imagine being able to do such fluid changes in time with the music.
And he had nothing to prove. Stayed in pocket and never went above and beyond trying to out play Corey now he’s in a classic video that will live on foreva 💯💪🏿🔥
@@bigmark7807 absolutely! i saw your reply. posted the original comment 1 year ago. noticed some things upon rewatch. a good drummer can also take direction without ego getting in the way. serving the music is top priority. thank you for replying if only to remind me to practice tomorrow!!! thank you, brother!
Man. Out of BILLIONS of TH-cam videos, this is one of the ones I keep coming back to. As a musician myself this is absolutely beautiful how this man gets possessed and doesn’t even have to look at the keys at all. The spirit guides his fingers. Wow man… Words are not enough for this man.
I’m a catholic living in Britain and I can say there’s something about how these American Baptists worship god which genuinely make you feel like you are in the presence of god and I only have love and respect for that
There are several Christian denominations in America. This one is COGIC (Church Of God In Christ - a Pentacostal denomination) music. You have not lived until you've experienced a real live Pentecostal church in America.😊
Actually we are the true children of Israel descendants of those brought to America by way of cargo ships.. and we were forced into Christianity.. and created a sound in music, singing etc. That all Nations admire, mimic, imitate.. we have a spirit that can never be duplicated . We are a special people deuteronomy 7:6
Nice comment but not all Americans are Baptists. Crispell and most of these organists are from the COGIC tradition. Secondly it is interesting how you ensure that you spelt Britain with a capital "B" yet you wrote "God" twice with a common "g". Interesting!
For those of us who've watched and marvelled at this video thousands of times, my next-best enjoyment comes from looking at a different face in the congregation each time; you can tell just how emotive and musical this tribute was, and how it affected everyone there. Musicianship of the absolute highest calibre, and a fitting tribute.
Such an inspiration! I tried understanding why he didnt resolve that last chord and figured out that he was just too torn to do so. To end that progression wasnt right. It's like a message that Melvin still lives on. Much respect.
Its like its a living breathing entity he is coaxing emotions out of. Never have I heard a keyboard played with such vibrancy. He is a true wonder. Highly recommended: On his channel it shows him playing when he's 4. He had more harmonic intuition than most adults playing for decades. Its the most shocking display of overt talent any keyboardist has ever demonstrated anywhere. Its utterly eerie when you realize what he's doing. I believe that if he had been ingrained in structured music lessons it might have easily destroyed this effortless spontaneity we see here and that is appreciated by so many today. Parents beware of not letting your child take charge with their instrument.
It's this freaky once in , who knows, I've never heard it at such a skilled level. He has no barrier of limitations in emoting through his instrument which is why everyone practices. He was born no barrier just sing through instrument but on top his influences Glenn gould , ray Charles, Oscar Peterson he's got all that knowledge and logic the way Gould understood Bach he understands soul/emotions through instrument again because he's been doing it since two. I like how he essentially composes solos but in a jazz groove style. It's just such a fascinating genre hes exploring. I understand he doesn't like to categorize coming from gospel background but imo it's an insane form of jazz he's navigating. His muscle memory on b3 is just beyond lol.
This may be one of the greatest moments in music...nay, human history. All is left on the floor. Nothing left to give. And literally left unresolved. This is a human pouring out every ounce of his soul, intellect, talent, and being in honor of someone he loved deeply. If ever I doubt myself, feel sadness or despair, THIS is the spiritual experience I turn to for resolve. Cory delivers. For all of us.
I cannot believe that this isn’t more famous. Nothing in the entire sphere of music and art has inspired me more than this in my life. I watch this every single time I feel down, when I feel tired of living life the same old way. It reminds me that there’s something different to this place, and it’s just right there along with us. Something bigger waiting to come through us and bring love into the world. I’m not comfortable with the church, the word god or the things that have happened in my life around the church. But I do believe in what religions are trying to express. I believe in that force coming through Henry, and if that’s not what god is then I don’t think I understand life.
@@keesketsers5866 I got to his solo at 10:10 on this version of it: th-cam.com/video/m33Yv594iGI/w-d-xo.html Absolutely blew my face off. Thanks for the recommendation. Loved it.
1:41 That percussion ads so incredibly much to the performance in whole. Cory's playing is masterful in every way. The Hammond organ was invented solely for this particular moment in time.
I can't stop playing this. I LOVE the interaction and the energy from not just Cory but the whole church. It gives me hope, it brings me joy and I hope it does to all. We got this! Thank you Cory Henry.
There are some things that man can not teach. Mr. Henry has a gift from God. The way he ended, reminded me of the late Miles Davis. Miles Davis did not talk to his audience, all he did is laid it in your lap and vanish. 6/20/2020. Happy Birthday to myself. Thank you Lord for blessing me to see another one. And if it is your will, I'll see many more. Amen Amen and Amen.
Professionalism all around. Drummer...PROPS. You knew your place and you stayed there and still was crushing. WOW. And well..Cory...is Cory. Studio ready just as is. Hard to find musicians that know there place......Old school and just plain professional. You can still shine when you are not doing too much. Can't say enough about the drummer. This younger generation need to look, listen and learn. Crazy good on everything. As many times I have seen this it continues to brighten my day and refreshes me from all of these young musicians that can play but don't know there place. Look, Listen and Learn.
Probably the most talented Keyboard player of his generation? Hahaha!!! There's no doubt about it. Cory has been doing this since he was knee high to a grasshopper. And there's video evidence on TH-cam to corroborate this fact. This humble young man is truly a gift from The MOST HIGH!!
imajin this guy playing for the heavenly orchestra in heaven, with Jesus and all his angels!! Bless him. and blessings to all those who keeps coming back to this majestic piece
I've stopped count how many times I've watched this. What can you say about Cory Henry that hasn't been said before? This man is truly touched by God. Shout out to the drummer too. What a tribute. Rip Melvin Crispell.
Love from west coast. I love how everybody reacts everytime he flips the chord structure. You have to really know the original progressions to appreciate. Hezekiah walker got like 4 huhnned staple gospel songs😂 growin up in cali, hez was my fav NY gospel sound out of all the choirs to come out NY
This guy is the most underrated talent in history. See how humbled he looked. God willing in the nearest future, when technology, creativity and content creation increases this video will resurface. God bless this organist for such a dedication to his art. I wonder what his motivation was🤔
What is remarkable in this black congregation is the level of musical involvement you see here. Cory is burrowing into their very soul and letting their inner voice sing with joy. Such a special moment to witness. Truly by the grace of God we have talent like this we can experience.
I discovered this video 3 years ago and must have watched it 100 times or more (I can't stop!!!), Corey's hands have been blessed by God, there is no other explanation......he is straight FIRE!!!!!!!!!
The eye and ear contact of both musicians was impeccable, their boom,boom, bap cadence infectious and carried the melody to a different realm, would love to see Hezekiah Walker somehow insert this tribute to Melvin onto one of his tracks
Ok, I'm gonna make a long comment for this. I'm very grateful that I'm still alive, becoming one of millions of people who watch and listen to this, and still have a chance to witness this. Very skillful, with lots of soul and emotions, well crafted, the message of the music is well delivered even though it's just instrumental. Call me whiny, but I'm teary (tears of joy, for sure) watching this, and still feel the same even though I watch this like thousand times. To Taylor Mesple, thank you for uploading this. :D Making music sounds so rich and complete in a very pocket way is not everybody's thing, especially using only one or two instrument. Usually most people need extras like sound effect, choirs, or more instruments to make it full and feel complete. because there is so much space to be fulfilled: skills, emotions, honesty, message of the songs, etc. That goal, in my opinion, is what every musician should reach. Cory got it. Cory nailed it. A very big props to you.*standing ovation Also, shout out to every musicians in the world who always want to present their art with honesty. You'll be surprised by listener's reaction when you present your art with honesty in it. :D
Melvin was the reason why I started playing the keys he taught me some churchy and some slow songs and others but rip gone miss u greatest organ player☝👏🙌😭☺
I have a quality pair of headphones and the sound is great. But I can only imagine what you hear when you’re in the same space. I like looking at the expressions of the folks there. The shaking of their heads. The arm folding. The smiles. The standing. The staring.
It's 12/21 and This anointed Ministry by Mr Korey is Still Elevating to Remember that Almighty God That His Name Is Wonderful in the Face of COVID Omicron. Once again reminded of where My Strength Comes From HIS LOVE That NEVER CHANGE In Sickness Death Distressed Division. TRUST LIVE HOLD TO HIS LOVE!!! What a Anthem of God's Outpouring LOVE!! 🪔💕🙌
Really quick let me tell quick testimony I have been playing organ since have been 5 year I have been blees with gift but I let the gift that God give me go to my head you know drinking and going to play well being high but God blees to remove that out of my life so I can give God all the glory so thank you cory for your gift every time I watch this video thank about the gift that God have give us
1:22 to 1:25 has anyone transcribed these chords OMG - See the reaction too. and 1:50 , 1:55 - Love that chord he holds. 2:55 too. 3:40 . 4:46 . 5:00 to 5:28 OMG. 5:34 what an ending and that last chord - love it.
Cory Henry is one of the very few performers that can make you burst out in a huge smile as he plays with your sensibilities and injects humor into music by teasing us with his sophisticated yet coy at times, chord progressions. An artist on a plateau few of us ever walk on, but thankfully, we all can appreciate.
absolutely love this loving how the drummer is staying in the pocket supporting Cory and just seeing this from another angle is incredible you made me love this vid all over again
This is truly a gifted man showcasing his musical gifts from God!!! Continue being a blessing to this world and always receive fresh melodies from Heaven Matt🎹 God bless and keep you always 🙏🏽

Wishing you strength and love from the Netherlands. My condelances. Erik
God's love and strength to you from South Africa.
This will NEVER get old. Cory Henry is literally the best organist on Earth.
I seem to watch this two to three times a year since it was posted And say the same exact thing every time I watch it… 🙌🏿💪🏿
@@SoothingSoundz98 I keep coming back. Dude is incredible...
it's unbelievable. at 3:07 you can almost hear a soloist singer, and then a whole choir joining in behind them in Cory's notes.
It played tonight in my mind and I’m here again and I’m still getting the same goosebumps I got the first time I heard this❤️
No need to look further. ❤ he is exceptionnal
no joke ive seen this video at least 300 times
Me too!! 😂
its so good
Same here
You have good taste in music then!
Haha it’s really sick Cory is from another planet

They were birthed from the same source
That security usher tried to hold it in.... but couldn't!! Love it!!
Really
Actually I think he’s their organist.
That’s PJ Morgan, one of the baddest organists in the industry next to Cory
@@Solodapper I think he's talking about the one to the right of the organ, near the cross.
nahn111 Again... that is Gospel recording artist and well known DMV musician, PJ Morgan.
@@Solodapper sorry about that :)
it looks like there are multiple PJ Morgans out there, and only this one is in the video.
Big props to the disciplined drummer! Sometimes it's more important to know when not to play as it is when to play. Great job of support Mr. Drummer. I hope you get plenty of work.
Thats right🙌

James Robinson Jr. He’s truly underrated but this clip is witness to his mastery...
Who is the drummer
EXACTLY
He didn’t resolve the song at the end...says a lot! The songs not done. Melvin’s music lives on.
He did though
@@uncomfortableshirt No, he indeed left it unfinished...there should have been a last bit there, but he left it out. Absolutely wonderful playing though!
@@uncomfortableshirt He ended on a sus4 chord. Giving it the feeling of still needing one more note. Feels unfinished
@@kevindurant228 @Joeshmo sounds to me like he resolved on the Eb, maybe an inversion. But out of that progression it seemed to feel like a resolved cadance to some extent. I think the chord before it was a type of Bb inversion leading into the Eb, at least that's what I heard out of my phone.
Uncomfortable Shirt It was left unresolved.

He was born for this. There's a video of him playing the organ at age 4. Musical genius.
The fact that's so wild to me is how he uses both preset changes and individual and group drawbar changes. I can't tell whether he's just going back and forth between the "b" and "b flat" preset keys to switch between one set of drawbars and the other, or also other presets.

I’ve lost count too!
Love from west coast. I love how everybody reacts everytime he flips the chord structure. You have to really know the original progressions to appreciate. Hezekiah walker got like 4 huhnned staple gospel songs😂 growin up in cali, hez was my fav NY gospel sound out of all the choirs to come out NY
3:08-3:34 is the single greatest line I have ever heard in my entire life
that's gospel
I agree!!!💯
it feels timeless
Not the next 10 seconds?! #trippin
That's the highlight of the video for me. The most simplest, yet the most powerful.
This guy is the most underrated talent in history. See how humbled he looked. God willing in the nearest future, when technology, creativity and content creation increases this video will resurface.
God bless this organist for such a dedication to his art. I wonder what his motivation was🤔
What is remarkable in this black congregation is the level of musical involvement you see here. Cory is burrowing into their very soul and letting their inner voice sing with joy. Such a special moment to witness. Truly by the grace of God we have talent like this we can experience.
I discovered this video 3 years ago and must have watched it 100 times or more (I can't stop!!!), Corey's hands have been blessed by God, there is no other explanation......he is straight FIRE!!!!!!!!!
I can’t stop watching this...how I would’ve loved to see this live! This video plays in my head even when I’m not watching.
He loved his mentor so much.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤ Lovely and amazing pianist Love you from Rwanda
The eye and ear contact of both musicians was impeccable, their boom,boom, bap cadence infectious and carried the melody to a different realm, would love to see Hezekiah Walker somehow insert this tribute to Melvin onto one of his tracks
The sweetest part 3:39. I played it over and over again.
nukeman444 exactlyyyyyy
Like HEARING a rainbow
Everytime i come back to this performance i get the chills!!!!
Absolutely out of this world! 🙏🙌
I come back to this video EVERY… SINGLE… DAY.
Ok, I'm gonna make a long comment for this.
I'm very grateful that I'm still alive, becoming one of millions of people who watch and listen to this, and still have a chance to witness this. Very skillful, with lots of soul and emotions, well crafted, the message of the music is well delivered even though it's just instrumental. Call me whiny, but I'm teary (tears of joy, for sure) watching this, and still feel the same even though I watch this like thousand times. To Taylor Mesple, thank you for uploading this. :D
Making music sounds so rich and complete in a very pocket way is not everybody's thing, especially using only one or two instrument. Usually most people need extras like sound effect, choirs, or more instruments to make it full and feel complete. because there is so much space to be fulfilled: skills, emotions, honesty, message of the songs, etc. That goal, in my opinion, is what every musician should reach. Cory got it. Cory nailed it. A very big props to you.*standing ovation
Also, shout out to every musicians in the world who always want to present their art with honesty. You'll be surprised by listener's reaction when you present your art with honesty in it. :D
Would go to church every Sunday if I got to hear this.
This guy is reckon to be played with!!! Truly a serious beast! I know Mr Crispell appreciated that from heaven!
perhaps the finest of all time man.. Cory is really not joking around music. He's a hero. A gifted person in so many ways.
This whole performance is fantastic, but the bit at 0:53 just really gets to me. Everybody getting into it, what a great energy. Fantastic tribute.
yeah he plays softer but opens up the sustain and floats it in and everyone just lifts as the room changes.......incredible stuff
He’s like a super- hero on that instrument! So many moments took my breath away!
Melvin was the reason why I started playing the keys he taught me some churchy and some slow songs and others but rip gone miss u greatest organ player☝👏🙌😭☺
This is a far beyond music! the level of connection to all the different elements here is really something else. This guy is ultra talented!
I wasn't raised in a church like this but Cory's got me singing to songs I don't even know rn. you can't help but shout to this music. it's godly
I stumbled upon this today on the day I was in need of this and I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes Praising God!!!
I have a quality pair of headphones and the sound is great. But I can only imagine what you hear when you’re in the same space. I like looking at the expressions of the folks there. The shaking of their heads. The arm folding. The smiles. The standing. The staring.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I swear this never gets old to me! If I wasn't married I would be following him everywhere! He makes that damn organ talk! Literally!
Mad love from Sydney, Aus. I bump this nearly everyday..My soul on a another level when I listen to this.
I can hear it a million times and the sensations are different, but the feeling is incredibly the same!
It's 12/21 and This anointed Ministry by Mr Korey is Still Elevating to Remember that Almighty God That His Name Is Wonderful in the Face of COVID Omicron.
Once again reminded of where My Strength Comes From HIS LOVE That NEVER CHANGE In Sickness Death Distressed Division. TRUST LIVE HOLD TO HIS LOVE!!!
What a Anthem of God's Outpouring LOVE!! 🪔💕🙌
Really quick let me tell quick testimony I have been playing organ since have been 5 year I have been blees with gift but I let the gift that God give me go to my head you know drinking and going to play well being high but God blees to remove that out of my life so I can give God all the glory so thank you cory for your gift every time I watch this video thank about the gift that God have give us
I’m still playing this everyday!
Same here. Daily dose of this piece of art!
Everytime I listen to it, the unfinished ending sounds more complete everytime.
1:22 to 1:25 has anyone transcribed these chords OMG - See the reaction too.
and 1:50 , 1:55 - Love that chord he holds. 2:55 too. 3:40 . 4:46 . 5:00 to 5:28 OMG. 5:34 what an ending and that last chord - love it.
One of the BEST videos on TH-cam.. Thank you so much!
Cory Henry is one of the very few performers that can make you burst out in a huge smile as he plays with your sensibilities and injects humor into music by teasing us with his sophisticated yet coy at times, chord progressions. An artist on a plateau few of us ever walk on, but thankfully, we all can appreciate.
I wish we had this kind of service in germany. I'm an atheist but if we had so musical churches I would visit it every weekend.
You should look for my friend X Jones and his gospel choir. He performs at churches throughout Germany.
I too watch it everyday to remind me every day HERE is a blessing!!!!
June 2nd, 2020... During the riots.. And This is still comforting 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Brings tears to my eyes EVERYTIME I view this video!!!!!
This is the most musical video i have seen in years ! Every day i watch This video on my way to work .
What an awesome tribute! I’ve repeatedly listened to this time and time again!!
absolutely love this loving how the drummer is staying in the pocket supporting Cory and just seeing this from another angle is incredible you made me love this vid all over again
I can't take credit for this but someone wrote ~ "On the 8th day, God created the Hammond Organ.." YES SIR! Awesome job Cory!!
LOL, I thought you were gonna say, "On the 8th day, God created Cory Henry, seated at a Hammond organ." :-)
reminds me of a variation I heard in a Pentecostal church once, "the Holy Spirit can't move until the Leslie speaker starts to rotate..."
5:35 The way he changes the tone of the organ takes breath from my lungs every time.
This is truly a gifted man showcasing his musical gifts from God!!! Continue being a blessing to this world and always receive fresh melodies from Heaven Matt🎹 God bless and keep you always 🙏🏽
