The 1st time I heard this song from Gregory Porter I fell in love with the music and his soulful voice. I love the video where a little girl dances around him. And 10 years later I play this song to my 18 month old baby girl and I sing to her this is our song daddy’s and BayLee’s song. Thank you Gregory Porter for making such beautiful song and music. Eternally grateful your fan Anthony Amezcua
This version is completely magical for me. I like all the other versions (videos included) of this song, but the antique subway car and the historic "ads" on the car and the simplistic nature of a great singer (crooner if you will) and his ivory tickler (pianist) ... it's all soooo right. Love this!
After watching this probably 30 times, I have to say my favorite part is the pianist drifting into the straight-8th harpsichord-esque melody. Gregory's face says "Oh, god damnit..you're too much, Chip."
Gregory Porter is a wonderful singer to me. And I love the piano player Chip Crawford. I love this one doesn't always have to have a baby grand piano to play on to me it shows the real talent that Chip Crawford has he could play a child's piano and do a wonderful job.
No fashion effect in his voice. Just natural. A very good Chip Crawford... turning around waltz. And yes, very pleasant camera shot with nice recording. Thanks to NPR
No offence to anyone, but am I the only one that thought "Louis Armstrong", except smooth. Thank you so much NPR for showing me Gregory Porter. Unbelievable, beautiful voice, I am blown away! HEY NPR PLEASE PLEASE HAVE BEN HOWARD ON! Peace&Love
I was too young to see Marvin Gaye or Donny Hathaway in their early years. But man ! Today I'm so glad to be Gregory Porter's contemporary. He's a genius, what a voice, what a talent.

This is still one of my favorite NPR field recordings ever. NPR and COLORS have released some of the best live versions of songs I’ve ever heard
first time hearing Gregory Porter....his voice makes me smile. :-)

both in their own planets, sharing one soul. the soul in movement, love the pianist style.
I can listen to G.P. sing all day. :-)
I literally do at work. 10-12 hours a day. It's the music that keeps away the madness. Blessings to you Miss Tressa :-)
Tenderful. Love the way he holds on to the strap while he's singing.
Thanks Mr. Porter and Crawford, great music!!!

This is wonderful. Such a great performance, and super clear audio quality. It's just sublime! Thank you, NPR, Mr. Porter and Mr. Crawford!!!
This is the song that made me fall in love with the magic of Gregory Porter.
What a beautiful soul. I love everything about him, his voice is beyond soothing.
His voice is so unique I never saw nobody in real life with that voice .For me it’s almost impossible to believe someone like him exists.
great voice, amazing recording, cool videography and outstanding job on the piano by Chip Crawford, he makes this harmony shine from so many angles

Love this man. His voice is beautiful - it transports you. And he's so handsome and elegant. My heart's aflutter! And I know I'm not alone.
Thanking the powers that be that this music exists.

Perfect. Great improvisation. Great song. Great voice. Gotta love Gregory. Gotta love Jazz
Beautiful :) He could play a lion... especially in "The Wiz" or "The Wizard of Oz" - This makes me think of that somehow lol ...love it.
My thoughts exactly!
How could he play the lion when the man sings form his heart already
I LOVE this. One of the best Field Recording to date. Way to go, NPR Music! Great work as usual.
