hello cory hery I am Feliciano, a´m angolan , i see you how example, i'm a new pianist on this world!! and when i think desist you give me more motivation to keep play piano!! i see your´s videos, day-of-day i learn!
Cory, you're an inspiration on so many levels. Your journey has been tremendous since this doc, and I've been privileged to see you live several times.
Cory, I saw you perform with Snarky Puppy last Sunday nite in L.A. at the Mint and while you were playing one of your solos it literally put me in tears. You were looking straight at me while you were playing and although I can't play like you, I felt deep within my soul what you were feeling and expressing through your playing. It was like a transfer from your soul to mine. That is the impact that your God given talent has on people. I was touched and it was such a blessing. Thank you.
It's been 7 years now, I care to know how well you're now... Did you spent all the years working instrumentals out? Humbly waiting for your response... Regards, One who cares
Thankyou for this, as a singer who grew up in church but was always different and wanted to learn everything, jazz, classical, arabian, celtc, country, I needed to see someone break the box, and make their life, thankyou for this wonderful documentary, im raising my daughter to appreciate music and play what's in her heart.. more young people need to see this.
I feel more inspired to be more creative in my playing and understanding and interpretating music. Thanks Cory! So much Love from Nairobi, Kenya.. 🇰🇪 🇰🇪
My daughter plays by ear. This video has helped to inspire her to play with feeling. She's really young and have a long way to go but musicians like you who open up about playing music and what drives you to do what you do helps younger musicians to connect and get an understanding of working hard and striving to do their best. Thank you kind sir. I follow you through COGIC
Corey, I am so glad to have viewed both documentaries, 1 & 2 (Didn't notice a third). You are surely an anointed musician and it seems to have been apparent from your early years. I AM inspired to cultivate my gift, even the more, after nearly 35 years as a church musician. You said something that I heard a younger musician say, about knowing your instrument. It took me some time to understand that... Now, I am glad I do and am seeking to improve on what I had already developed. The acoustic piano, organ and keyboards are ALL different and though one can often imitate one of the others, a great musician can play skillfully on either and not sound exactly the same. I hear that in your playing. It is also beneficial to learn various genre's of music... the foundational skills and techniques transcend and work in many styles of music, as you have also demonstrated. Keep doing what you do... You ARE a blessing to many, beyond your imagination.
Bro, just by looking at your parents' pictures, you can tell they were very sweet people. I really enjoyed the documentary; the intro of you playing as a small child was great! I really laughed with your response to the question: what do you want to be when you get big? Lol. Be well, Cory!

Hey Cory! Your talent, and your way to be, is such a great example for me. Nowadays, is really diffcult to find a musician with values towards Life. As you say, music is just to turn a person into a better human being. Despites al your problems and difficulties, you were able to keep up going your musical career. Thanks for being such a humble musician , and for being an inspiration for all of us, whose are starting on the music career. Cheers!!!
It would be great to see a longer history of Cory. An ordinary person who made himself - such a story can change the lives of many people and motivate them.
I've been listening to you for yrs so I can't believe I'm just stumbling onto this. Your gifts are truly a blessing to you and the world (and Art Tatum would DEFINITELY be proud). Thank you brotha... for doing what you do.
Hey Cory , got to say you are an inspiration to all of us . like i left my instrument for twenty years. life of having a family.so knowing your instrument was on key .I came back strong and loving every minute of it. I'll be watching your lesson to learn from you God Bless .Love Brooklyn since I grew up there also.but miss it a lot .but we got you to bring us there now Thanks.
I think i needed to see this today wow. Some people's talents are so pure and well groomed that it ignites the passion and desire to practice and find your own sound and expression. This creates better music and restores passion to the sound. Great job Corey. Stir up the gifts!
" I hope that when I play I touch people in a way to...you know, just be a better person" These words struggle to find their way out of his mouth due to his sincere humility which only contributes to touch you deeper, made me roll down a tear. You certainly have a gift to inspire people "to be better at whatever it is that they do" at the very least, but now when you play out of emotion is that you inspire your audience to be better persons. Little 3 years old Cory received that gift with a big smile and never let it go, moreover, devoted his life to the hard work of perfecting it just to share it with the world.
Too beautiful. To think I just saw you 5 days ago in London, I've always appreciated your musicianship, but this makes me appreciate it yet further. Best of luck with the rest of the tour.
Thank you Cory for sharing your life history! I am inspired by your story as I am excited for where you go. Master the healing, deliverance and promotion found in your music. Your music carries an energy that is transcendent and will carry one's being past the conscious into the super-conscious. Awesome!
Man!! I know you have a lot of Cats messaging you but I gotta tell you being a classically trained pianist, I know the hard work and dedication it takes to be a great musician. I admire you for your fortitude and spiritual professionalism that is included in WHATEVER genre you play in! God bless you man and please keep on inspiring young musicians to take their craft seriously!! By the way you have played with one of my very good friends in ministry (PJ Morgan) May his favor keep you bro!
Just watching this now. I want you to know you touched my heart and inspired me and charge my passion for music. Thank you, Cory. Keep doing what you're doing.
Amazingly I hear.... I feel where you are coming from.. I bet you have mastered Bach as well. Your family legacy will lives through you it speaks through you... Many blessings
man you really are an inspiration. I'm a hardcore synthesist and could never play the keys the way you can but you really have inspired me to try to learn more. Truly amazing musician. Thanks for sharing your gift!
I'm starting to study Cory! Someone just sent me a clip of him and his Funk Disciples in Chicago and they played the best version of Funkadelic' Good to Your Earhole!!!! He's a genius!!!
Cory you are really touching peoples lives and I am getting better because I listen to you play and I trust lots of other people are getting better too. I love you so much bro. God bless you. I wish you came to Nigeria. Expected you at Xovar lounge by Collins Jacobs as I heard you were suppose to be in Nigeria last year or two. I love you bro. God bless you
I can really appreciate this documentary. Corey is one of those musicians I try to emulate. Notice i said try lol. I’m a church musician but i love to incorporate some of his jazz flares and classical. This video inspired me to go back and relearn music theory. Thank you Mr Henry.
I honestly watch this AT LEAST once a week and when I do I get inspired and get on my board immediately and start practicing no matter how good I am...#justahumblemusician
Cory has pretty much set the new benchmark for both jazz pianists and organists. The level of technical prowess and musical creativity is almost beyond compare.
just realized I once had the same sweater as you.... excellent I must be doing something right... one day Cory I'll make you proud! I feel the music like you, but I'm still stuck by my limitations of learning late.. hopefully it's gonna improve so I can freely emote like you man thank you
I got to see Cory and the Funk Apostles for new years eve 2018 and it was hands down one of the best shows I've been to. Cory and the band are an inspiration!
You are absolutely inspirational; I just bought your CD on iTunes not too long ago. It's time for you to come out with another one. I'm telling everyone I know about your absolute gifted touch on the keys!!
one more thing... the 'rooftop' video is a huge highlight of Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles' massive musicality and heart-felt grooves. Can't say to much about it, or enough.
im glad he made the statement the the organ and piano are different instruments cause i play the organ thats what i learned on and its all i ever played. in some cases like playing at different churches that may not have an organ or outside programs ill play keyboard but it just dont sound the same. ive never really been a fan of playing piano i love to hear it but Hammond is my stomping ground
When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be. When we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout the victory. God has done great things. God has done great things, praise His holy name. I came here to give God the glory, All the glory, all the glory. Wow! Beautiful story. First time hearing this. All these years later and it came to pass. Your music is inspirational and transcendental…literally.
I took a handful of years of lessons for guitar. I still play but 'life' gets in the way and has interrupted the time that i would rather spend playing. I surely don't have the intuition that Mr. Henry has but I would like to play my guitar with intent. I found Snarky Puppy only a few months ago and he and that band have put a smile on my face watching them play. They made me think of time differently and notice the fun and happiness that falls out of their minds and fills their instruments and they and Mr. Henry have inspired me to be better. Thank you for being on this planet Cory and musicians alike.
What an awesome gift he was given by the Lord. I totally agree when you have a gift like that you need to study other forms of music to "up" your game. However (for everyone reading), it is imperative that you keep the Lord and how He wants you to use your gift FIRST, so that it can be blessed and flourish the way He would have it. I hope that Cory keeps playing in church, but not just playing there; letting God grow him in the things of God. Awesome music. That Heart at Midnight... great!!
WOW!!!!!!!! Your (this) video set out to do exactly what you wanted to do. Just the other day I was telling a friend i want to follow your life to see how you became such a great musician. And look what i stumbled upon after subscribing to your channel. God is good! Keep them coming bro.
As a 18 year old kid, who just figured out how to play piano for church from ear, no sheet music. No teacher. No anyone. just watching and hearing, I feel like I've accomplished nothing compared to you. But I hope to one day be on your level.
Almost invariably, the prodigies work the hardest. Perhaps it's because they have that special place in their soul to love what they do to an otherworldly degree
You are very inspiring Cory Henry! Keep doing what you are doing! You are giving young people something awesome to live up too! May The Lord God bless you real good ;-)
Did you play 'It's such a good feeling to know you're alive,' towards the end of the vid? LOL... I don't know if that was actually a song before Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was a show, but you killed that joint, bro. You're an absolute genius and inspiration, my brotha. Thank you for sharing your legacy with us. Much love.
thanks a lot, i really appreciate the encouraging words.
hello cory hery I am Feliciano, a´m angolan ,
i see you how example, i'm a new pianist on this world!!
and when i think desist you give me more motivation to keep play piano!!
i see your´s videos, day-of-day i learn!
So good. Inspiration.
Bruh thank you for sharing your gift with us . You are a blessing to this world.
God bless you Cory herny
Cory, you're an inspiration on so many levels. Your journey has been tremendous since this doc, and I've been privileged to see you live several times.
Cory said: "I hope that when I play, I touch people"...
You certainly do, man! I love the way you play.
He doesn't touch, he kills.
Cory, I saw you perform with Snarky Puppy last Sunday nite in L.A. at the Mint and while you were playing one of your solos it literally put me in tears. You were looking straight at me while you were playing and although I can't play like you, I felt deep within my soul what you were feeling and expressing through your playing. It was like a transfer from your soul to mine. That is the impact that your God given talent has on people. I was touched and it was such a blessing. Thank you.
Not over exaggerating, this documentary has changed me. I'm so inspired.
It's been 7 years now, I care to know how well you're now...
Did you spent all the years working instrumentals out?
Humbly waiting for your response...
Regards,
One who cares
thanks bro
i've watched the melvin crispell tribute MANY times... and Cory, you have definitely made me want to be better... just through that performance
What I love is you got all these different styles of music, but when you do your gospel sets, you keep it traditional, when a lot of musicians won't.
a real genius with a good heart, keep god first and only good things will come to this earth for you brothern.
Thankyou for this, as a singer who grew up in church but was always different and wanted to learn everything, jazz, classical, arabian, celtc, country, I needed to see someone break the box, and make their life, thankyou for this wonderful documentary, im raising my daughter to appreciate music and play what's in her heart.. more young people need to see this.
I feel more inspired to be more creative in my playing and understanding and interpretating music. Thanks Cory! So much Love from Nairobi, Kenya.. 🇰🇪 🇰🇪
Genius. A beautiful player and superlative musician. And such soul in his playing!
I remember when I first heard Art Tatum... Changed my life as well.
I will also remember this night forever. The night I discovered Cory Henry.
My daughter plays by ear. This video has helped to inspire her to play with feeling. She's really young and have a long way to go but musicians like you who open up about playing music and what drives you to do what you do helps younger musicians to connect and get an understanding of working hard and striving to do their best.

.This needs to be a Full Documentary man!!.. You give such amazing insight bro!.. Such a blessing to see &hear this!.. Bless u bro!..
Bro, just by looking at your parents' pictures, you can tell they were very sweet people. I really enjoyed the documentary; the intro of you playing as a small child was great! I really laughed with your response to the question: what do you want to be when you get big? Lol. Be well, Cory!

J. Andrew Gonzalez which difficulties he have?? I've was asking myself if he had something
Dear Mister Henry: you leave me speechless with everything you play... thank you so much. You drag me through my depressions.
It would be great to see a longer history of Cory. An ordinary person who made himself - such a story can change the lives of many people and motivate them.
I've been listening to you for yrs so I can't believe I'm just stumbling onto this. Your gifts are truly a blessing to you and the world (and Art Tatum would DEFINITELY be proud). Thank you brotha... for doing what you do.

Little 3 years old Cory received that gift with a big smile and never let it go, moreover, devoted his life to the hard work of perfecting it just to share it with the world.
He epitomises 'dedication' and i hope i get to see him play one day live.
Too beautiful. To think I just saw you 5 days ago in London, I've always appreciated your musicianship, but this makes me appreciate it yet further. Best of luck with the rest of the tour.

What a blessing this is🙏 so many of the greats of our time don’t get documented like this👊 love cory
The best organist I've heard in about...30 years! Unbeleavable talent.🌹✌️
I watch this every so often to help stay inspired to practice hard and do what I do.
Just watching this now. I want you to know you touched my heart and inspired me and charge my passion for music. Thank you, Cory. Keep doing what you're doing.
Amazingly I hear.... I feel where you are coming from.. I bet you have mastered Bach as well. Your family legacy will lives through you it speaks through you...
Many blessings

You do inspire me. Thank you for working so hard at what you do. Keep pushing the boundaries and breaking new ground. Don't stop surprising yourself.

Cory, thank u 4 playing music the way it's supposed 2 b played: 1. Without Walls & 2. From the SOUL!!!
at 7:10 - 7:44 he plays the Mr Roger's show closing song. "It's such a good feeling to know you're alive . . . "
Frederick Capers This stuck out for me, too. Love that!
He continued that concept all the way to like 8:30
Dear Cory,
Is there a third part of the documentary? This is amazing.
Thanks
love watching you display your God given gift... truly an inspiration
I'm starting to study Cory! Someone just sent me a clip of him and his Funk Disciples in Chicago and they played the best version of Funkadelic' Good to Your Earhole!!!! He's a genius!!!
God bless you Cory, im a Brazilian fan... thank you for your posts!
Cory you are really touching peoples lives and I am getting better because I listen to you play and I trust lots of other people are getting better too. I love you so much bro. God bless you.

A friend of mine told me about C.H. last nite and I`m so glad he did. I hope some day I`ll see him play in Argentina. Thank you for sharing this.
I wanna play keys like this man after seeing this you've become my favorite musician and I got a new standard! God bless!
that´s exactly what I felt when I saw Cory live. to be a better musician, to work hard every single day and to be real! thank you man!
I can really appreciate this documentary. Corey is one of those musicians I try to emulate. Notice i said try lol. I’m a church musician but i love to incorporate some of his jazz flares and classical. This video inspired me to go back and relearn music theory. Thank you Mr Henry.
Watching your videos makes me practice harder. I want to reach that spiritual, emotional level. Keep it goin, master Cory.
I love Cory. Most of keyboard players here in Mizoram(India) first started in church like you, please come to Mizoram :-)
I honestly watch this AT LEAST once a week and when I do I get inspired and get on my board immediately and start practicing no matter how good I am...#justahumblemusician
Nothing but respect for brother Cory. Thinking outside of the box increased his talent and increased his gift. God bless him.
Cory i just love you playing my Brother.... I enjoy every moment of it.
Dude this blessed me Bro......I had now idea about your parents.....I loved every minute....stay up Bro!!
Cory has pretty much set the new benchmark for both jazz pianists and organists. The level of technical prowess and musical creativity is almost beyond compare.
just realized I once had the same sweater as you.... excellent I must be doing something right... one day Cory I'll make you proud! I feel the music like you, but I'm still stuck by my limitations of learning late.. hopefully it's gonna improve so I can freely emote like you man thank you
Watching these docs helps me appreciate you even more as an artist...if that's possible! Keep up the great work bruh!
I got to see Cory and the Funk Apostles for new years eve 2018 and it was hands down one of the best shows I've been to. Cory and the band are an inspiration!
6:14 was amazing, you saved yourself in the most clean fucking way I can't believe you did that

Thank you for sharing this. As best as I can tell, you've done to a significant degree what you've set out to do, "raise the bar"...
You are absolutely inspirational; I just bought your CD on iTunes not too long ago. It's time for you to come out with another one. I'm telling everyone I know about your absolute gifted touch on the keys!!
Thank you Mr Henry! You definetly inspired me, musically & personally!
Thank you so much for sharin' your vibez!
Your playing has definitely touched me, Cory! Your chops inspire me to keep practicing and getting better :)
God Bless you Cory!!!! WOW!!! We missed you at the Snarky concert in Atlanta!
one more thing... the 'rooftop' video is a huge highlight of Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles' massive musicality and heart-felt grooves. Can't say to much about it, or enough.
Glad to hear you giving respect and name-checking the masters. You will go far.
im glad he made the statement the the organ and piano are different instruments cause i play the organ thats what i learned on and its all i ever played. in some cases like playing at different churches that may not have an organ or outside programs ill play keyboard but it just dont sound the same. ive never really been a fan of playing piano i love to hear it but Hammond is my stomping ground
CORY YOU R PLAYING IS VERY INSPIRATIONAL AND IT INSPIRES ME TO WANT TO BECOME A BETTER MUSICIAN.
Case and point, understand what it takes to get to where you wanna be! This man has a story to tell!
Man I hope I can reach your level of playing. Even just to jam with you man, your playing has so much soul to it.
When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be. When we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout the victory.
God has done great things. God has done great things, praise His holy name.
I came here to give God the glory, All the glory, all the glory.
Wow! Beautiful story. First time hearing this. All these years later and it came to pass. Your music is inspirational and transcendental…literally.
Sem Palavras... Cory. You are the inspiration for me. God Bless You. One day, I want play like you.
You are a brilliant young black man. I encourage you to continue.
Man.

As a 18 year old kid, who just figured out how to play piano for church from ear, no sheet music. No teacher. No anyone. just watching and hearing, I feel like I've accomplished nothing compared to you. But I hope to one day be on your level.
The reharmonization of the Mr. Rogers...super sweet!!!
wow. you are the beginning of something GREAT.
You are truly an inspiring cat. Bless you bro.
I really do love you Cory.
Just love your style man

Almost invariably, the prodigies work the hardest. Perhaps it's because they have that special place in their soul to love what they do to an otherworldly degree
One word....amazing! great documentary
masterful!!... work for the lord doc because it was god who gave you that gift and only what you do for christ will last. god bless
dope Cory! You inspire me to play better. You opened mind to a different groove.
You are very inspiring Cory Henry! Keep doing what you are doing! You are giving young people something awesome to live up too! May The Lord God bless you real good ;-)
Did you play 'It's such a good feeling to know you're alive,' towards the end of the vid? LOL...
