The look on his face is hilarious when he starts playing...but it makes me miss my brother even more. He passed away a couple years ago...and we both played boards in a band together. Every time people asked him to play, he did that exact same thing Cory does. He was just cataloging chords and runs he banked up over the years...and was in a daze until you snapped him out of it. Cory...indeed a great player. Play on bro!
This is absolutely sick!!! Dis boy is IGNORANT on the B3! Those chord voicings, progressions, inversions, runs, everything - all in the right places!!! I'm 38 yrs old and I'm just FLOORED by the anointing God has blessed this humble servant with!!! That warm "church" sound topped with the "R&B" sound is rich!!! The total package!!! God bless you and your wonderful talent, Cory!!! Fantastic!!! To God be the glory - GREAT things he has done!!! Let Him use 'ya!!!
I remember watching this vid when it came out. Now, to see where Corey is, it's amazing how his gift has opened many doors for him. Keep blessing us with your talent, Corey.
To be able to talk and have a regular conversation while playing like that, just shows how many years and years of practice has produced this immense talent!
okay ive been watching this video for years and it never get old. cory placement is so perfect its crazy that he was 19 in this video playing like he in his 40s
I think is one of my favorite clips with Cory just throwing out the chord changes, great young ear. Lots of color, contour and flavor on a classic tune. Nice Cory.
With some organ players i hear so much chaos when they play and it sounds cluttered. With him i can the hear the melody is never lost and i never even heard the song before. Thats 'Motivation' for me rite there! Time to Shed!
Cory is unvelievable. I am begging you to please post the rest of this video. Or if you have more of Cory, please post. His playing is truly amazing and blesses me every time I hear it.
For real, who didn't like this? This is amazing to the 10th power!!! His chords give me goosebumps.. Stay blessed Cory, for you have a gift like non other. I know they say the sky is the limit, but you have prooved that statement wrong. Coming from another keyboard player, you are an outstanding musican looking down on the sky. Keep keeping on, and keep God in your life
I love this guy's spirit more than i love his talent. To find a musician with these kind of skills and the character to remain humble is a very good thing. Needless to say he is going far with his character and those skills he can't help it. Big up to Corey Henry. Stay blessed bro.
Some things are like the wood of an acoustic guitar. They just keep getting better with the passage of time. This clip happens to be one such instance. Thank you for sharing this with us. The LORD is right once again. A man's gift makes room for him.
So I have to comment yet again on it. Let me set the record straight that Cory Henry, my lil bro IS indeed humble in every way. He is blessed and favored by God and if you knew his testimony, a lot of you would not judge. He plays from the heart and the sweetest guy that I know. Now that's keeping it real. I love you Cory and you know I got you =)
I think Art Tatum has returned. It's so amazing that wonderfully gifted people often don't even have to look at their hands as they play... Tatum, Defrancesco, Cory.
First of all, when your at that level, you don't have to try.... But what makes this so unique is he probably was telling the truth when he said he had never played the song. Now, he obviously had heard it many times before but he just put his spin on it...which was probably the best I've ever heard..Lmbo
This guy can really play the organ. I would love to get him to come and play on the Hammond H-262 organ with 971 leslie. I think he might even give the new Hammond Elegante XH-273 with 971 leslie a run for its money. Again, Great organ playing Cory. Keep up the good work. You are just Awesome.
This is Marc Reddick. I saw you last night @ the prayer service for Timothy Wright & family. I meant what I said, that I'm proud of you. You have become an outstanding minstrel and I pray that God continues to elevate you, prosper and to keep you in good health. Love ya man!
His playing is weak ? I don't think so. Cory is one of, if not the best organist i've heard, and i have been playing for 47 years. Listen at 0:58-1:08. There is so much feel in his music.
cory is one of my main influences. from mike bereal, derrick jackson, travis sayles, jason tyson and rodney east from chicago, to butch woodie jason st. clair ivan powell paris rideout rudolph stanfield and my two all time favorite twinkie clark and rev. charles nicks
Seems like a very humble guy considering the amazing talenthe has. Most ppl on his level of musicianship won't even do stuff like this. I pray the industry doesnt get to him and change his humility...
Gene Wes: it took a minute b4 I had realized that she was the same joy in this video that was on making the band and other videos of her playing drums, and I've seen this video here on several occasions. My younger self never would've suspected that this girl here (joy) plays drums
Yeah. Joy caught my attention near the end of the vid after she set her laptop up. She was making the musicians stink face as Cory was killing it. I started looking in the comment to see if any one else notice those faces LOL, and thanks to your comment I find out she is an accomplished musician in her own right. LOL. #readthecomments
It's all about experience and talent. He's been doing it so long that it really doesn't matter what the song is as long as he can hear it in his head. He knows the key signature, scale, chords and melody so it's just picking and choosing what he wants to do at this point. Get more vids please :-)
Hypnotist. I do not know if he sends the song or the song sends it! He plays with music of the highest degree of complexity as a chain saw juggler playing head-to-head and blindfolded, and performing head-physics equations. Cory emanates hallucinogenic progressions from his fingers! OMG
....walks up to the door and shuts it and then bangs his head up against it! LOL! I appreciate you using the higher notes in the pedals(bass) it really makes for a smoother sound! THIS IS GREAT!!!
24 now. I think people may think this is not a big deal at this point because there may be people they know that can play this way now, but I take into account that the video was posted in 2008 and very good for that time.(I think it's good now personally)
Seems like a very humble guy considering the amazing talenthe has. Most ppl on his level of musicianship won't even do stuff like this. I pary the industry doesnt get to him and change his humility...
jeremiah brown ummm.. I do. that's not where I'm getting at. I'm speaking in regards to his level of expertise. You're not at his level, there's no shame in that.
@godschild1991ful Your comment led me to discover and study Rodney East and that is why I can appreciate people mentioning other skillful players for vids like these! Different styles but they are all tremendous with their sound!
There is a pastor here in the Chi I play for he's COGIC. He says he remember Cory coming to Chicago years ago with Jeffery white and he was 13 and killing then
Wow. It’s true that people have their own opinions about things but let’s make sure that your opinions are not based on jealousy and envy. You don’t have to like his style, which I do; but this man is anointed by God. When people point out minor flaws with peoples gifts, it sickens me. No man is perfect but his gift is close enough. Just Listen!!!
@anonymouslyrics I heard Cory first and thought could nobody make me like their playing more than him, but them i heard leonard's "lords prayer", unbelievable!! their solo performance i like the most so far on youtube. 1st leonard " lords prayer" and then cory's "not even trying thankyou lord" a real close 2nd
NationsTwelve: I can't tell if Leonard is just naive when he use to over do it or what. He use to have a habit of overplaying over people. He's great but I see what you mean
DanAnthomas definately bro. Rodney east is definately one of the nations top keyboard players. He gave r. Kelly his sound and is currently playing for ron isley
That's my talented and gifted cousin. I love you Cory
talented and gifted? I hope you realize your cousin is currently one of the best keyboard/organ player of our time.
@@lupash give it a rest man, we all know.
These chords take me somewhere crazy good
A decade later, your cousin is widely regarded as one of the greatest to EVER do it
Very few have this kind of ability. Talent is one thing but a gift from God is another.
The look on his face is hilarious when he starts playing...but it makes me miss my brother even more. He passed away a couple years ago...and we both played boards in a band together. Every time people asked him to play, he did that exact same thing Cory does. He was just cataloging chords and runs he banked up over the years...and was in a daze until you snapped him out of it. Cory...indeed a great player. Play on bro!
My condolences ❤
Still actually one of my favorite Cory Henry clips.

I think is one of my favorite clips with Cory just throwing out the chord changes, great young ear. Lots of color, contour and flavor on a classic tune. Nice Cory.
IM AMAZED by his foot work alone RIDICULOUS
I've seen this video about 2000 times lol
Never gets old!
He's a BEAST
2:44 was the best lick i have ever heard an organist play!!!!!
With some organ players i hear so much chaos when they play and it sounds cluttered. With him i can the hear the melody is never lost and i never even heard the song before. Thats 'Motivation' for me rite there! Time to Shed!
Yep, saw this video a long time ago, hearing it again is just as wonderful.
Cory is unvelievable. I am begging you to please post the rest of this video. Or if you have more of Cory, please post. His playing is truly amazing and blesses me every time I hear it.

I just love to watch amazing musicians. He's not even trying to impress.
100%

this video never gets old I love the art tatum chord movements in the beginning
What tune from tatum did that come from?
@@Timber1205 some where over the rainbow
So I have to comment yet again on it. Let me set the record straight that Cory Henry, my lil bro IS indeed humble in every way. He is blessed and favored by God and if you knew his testimony, a lot of you would not judge. He plays from the heart and the sweetest guy that I know. Now that's keeping it real. I love you Cory and you know I got you =)
Cory Henry is nothing short of genius. These changes and progressions just flow out of him. A truly brilliant mind.
He is not even trying...
Whoever cut this vid where it stopped didn't want to share those chops coming up😂
Those little kid didn't know they were in the presence of greatness
+Blazing Ohm The kid is the next Lil Wayne.
You're kidding right? Lil Wayne is garbage as a musician, watching him try to play guitar is painful. Him and Cory don't belong in the same sentence.
Joseph Ohajunwa ) You're right Lil Wayne is a multimillionaire hahahahahahah
this man is amazing!! the way he plays is REMARKABLE!! chord voicing's are OUTRAGES!!! lol Great playing sir..
his placement is crazy God is amazing. blessed a young man with an rare sound thats hard to find. especially at his humbleness and style.
Yo my eye lowkey twitched at 2:57
I just hope that organ okay after him puttin his hands on it... Dude is a blessing
I think Art Tatum has returned. It's so amazing that wonderfully gifted people often don't even have to look at their hands as they play... Tatum, Defrancesco, Cory.
First of all, when your at that level, you don't have to try.... But what makes this so unique is he probably was telling the truth when he said he had never played the song. Now, he obviously had heard it many times before but he just put his spin on it...which was probably the best I've ever heard..Lmbo
I'm 44 and been playin' for YEARS..but this kid is my new IDOL....
Brilliant playing! You truly have a gift.
God bless you.
still his best clip!!! in 2018!!!
2020
2021
12 years later I’m still trying to figure video out scientifically lol
Antonio Collins bro I’m saying, I’m still not even half as good with it being 12 years ago 😂
brandon cox lol I can play this stuff in my head... but my fingers don’t add it up right
@@antoniocollins1025 just bought a keyboard and im bouta practice everyday
It’s the Polynesian sauce from Chick Fil A
How it is going @@fooni7400?
Still watching in 2018!✊🏾
Girl, this post changed my life and my music!
This guy can really play the organ. I would love to get him to come and play on the Hammond H-262 organ with 971 leslie. I think he might even give the new Hammond Elegante XH-273 with 971 leslie a run for its money. Again, Great organ playing Cory. Keep up the good work. You are just Awesome.
who in their right mind would ever dislike this?????.......seriously???

This cat is a.....MONSTER!!! You got me over here weeping! YA Sha ba oh shay ta...Thank ya!!!
This dude is off the chain
Lol
this is off the chain. i like his chord progressions. very smooth. you are tight man. keep up the good work.

People don’t realize that “Joy” in this video became a bad female drummer 💪🏾
Somone have sean Wilson break this down.
@seanwilson
Gene Wes: it took a minute b4 I had realized that she was the same joy in this video that was on making the band and other videos of her playing drums, and I've seen this video here on several occasions. My younger self never would've suspected that this girl here (joy) plays drums
Also I was too busy listening to cory on here to really pay attention to anybody else on here but him
Yeah. Joy caught my attention near the end of the vid after she set her laptop up. She was making the musicians stink face as Cory was killing it. I started looking in the comment to see if any one else notice those faces LOL, and thanks to your comment I find out she is an accomplished musician in her own right. LOL. #readthecomments
Superb Musicianship at its highest!
Whew! That did something to my soul @2:46. That was soulful as I don't know what. I will be using that lick.
From, 1:02 - 1:06. THAT'S JUST CRAZY !!!! That don't make no sense Corey. WOW ! I love it. Great video.
It's all about experience and talent. He's been doing it so long that it really doesn't matter what the song is as long as he can hear it in his head. He knows the key signature, scale, chords and melody so it's just picking and choosing what he wants to do at this point. Get more vids please :-)
Jesus!...This boy puts me to shame..I can't take it!...I never knew Thank you Lord could sound that good.
hands down one of the sickest moments i've ever seen.
Well said ✅️
Is this dude on facebook or myspace... Man the anointing is rich on him... Thank you Jesus!!
WHOO he made that organ have conversations, speeches, sermons, seminars...LOL
Hypnotist. I do not know if he sends the song or the song sends it! He plays with music of the highest degree of complexity as a chain saw juggler playing head-to-head and blindfolded, and performing head-physics equations. Cory emanates hallucinogenic progressions from his fingers! OMG
I wonder how many people thought "Man, I wanted to hear sacrifice". LOL, I know I would have killed to hear him play that!
nothing like the beauty of melow organ!!! straight to the heart!
....walks up to the door and shuts it and then bangs his head up against it! LOL!
I appreciate you using the higher notes in the pedals(bass) it really makes for a smoother sound!
THIS IS GREAT!!!
How did this video get 10 dislikes? The only thing bad about this video is that at the end it STOPPED!! lol
+yoda1914 AAAAmen!
+evans1977fly FYI- it's up to 15 dislikes now, but that's because humans suck
23
and now 23 sucky dislikes
24 now. I think people may think this is not a big deal at this point because there may be people they know that can play this way now, but I take into account that the video was posted in 2008 and very good for that time.(I think it's good now personally)
Seems like a very humble guy considering the amazing talenthe has. Most ppl on his level of musicianship won't even do stuff like this. I pary the industry doesnt get to him and change his humility...
He plays on Sunday Best with PJ Morton too on keys! They are some Beast!
my boy Cory disregards the fact that he can use his eyes to look at what he is playing. Didn't even look once at the black and whites. Blessed!
Reggie Toussaint it's easy to play without looking. I do it all the time
jeremiah brown oh yeah it's easy. but do you play like Cory Henry or on that level without looking at those keys? if so then, bless you too
Reggie Toussaint I play like myself not other people. Learn how to be yourself
jeremiah brown ummm.. I do. that's not where I'm getting at. I'm speaking in regards to his level of expertise. You're not at his level, there's no shame in that.
Reggie Toussaint dude....I don't want to be at his level god created me to be me
That organ sounds so warm!!!!
He plays on the TV SHOW "Sunday Best"
Straight Up beast
@godschild1991ful Your comment led me to discover and study Rodney East and that is why I can appreciate people mentioning other skillful players for vids like these! Different styles but they are all tremendous with their sound!
i'm mad that he said "i've never played this song before" at 1:14 and he freaking killed it like that...dang i need to shed
i love how he looks around like oh..i didn't know i could do that.
Dude! You are my favorite love your style truly God has gifted you. Keep it going if I learn a just a little from you im playing at church LOL
He has come a long way.
He was always good. Don't get it twisted lol
There is a pastor here in the Chi I play for he's COGIC. He says he remember Cory coming to Chicago years ago with Jeffery white and he was 13 and killing then
Right!! Still playing For Jesus!
The best on keys I ever seen.
this boy is really smoooooth. I love it.
311 to 315 someone in the background is hollering like they're getting punched in the stomach or their balls.
What a statement, and you're not wrong 🤣
Theeeeeee best organist known 2 man and u really not even trying
1:48-1:55 is smooth as butter
This boy is smooth. I like.
He plays a chord on every melody note and some chords in between!
Smooth as Butter!
.. You don't need no singing, no preaching, no teaching no nothing... I done been revived and rebuked all in one listening to this!!!
OMG ... Joy from Making His Band was on this ... Wow! Cory is killing like nobody is watching
amazing playing.
What a musician !
Wow. It’s true that people have their own opinions about things but let’s make sure that your opinions are not based on jealousy and envy. You don’t have to like his style, which I do; but this man is anointed by God. When people point out minor flaws with peoples gifts, it sickens me. No man is perfect but his gift is close enough.

Outstanding!!
total command
Lol Cory never know what to play =) love this dude man
this guy is bananas on organ. you got me shedding doc...keep it up!
@anonymouslyrics I heard Cory first and thought could nobody make me like their playing more than him, but them i heard leonard's "lords prayer", unbelievable!! their solo performance i like the most so far on youtube. 1st leonard " lords prayer" and then cory's "not even trying thankyou lord" a real close 2nd
NationsTwelve: I can't tell if Leonard is just naive when he use to over do it or what. He use to have a habit of overplaying over people. He's great but I see what you mean
hey man, im a bass player moving over into the organ... every time i hear your vids i get a push to go further
I just heard this kat just 2days ago, but I just heard about this kat named Darrick Jackson....plz check him out, a true vet in the game.
DanAnthomas definately bro. Rodney east is definately one of the nations top keyboard players. He gave r. Kelly his sound and is currently playing for ron isley
Dude killin me!!!!
What was the issue other than you couldn't hear it good or clear?( i missed it)
He wasn't even trying and still is better than most organists
i want a cd with everything you ever played on it...
@Taveemluvsmusic
Where is Cory Henry from and who does he play for?
#God-Gifted Prodigy
Who said he sucks?! Y'all some damn fools if you think so Cory is either the coldest or one of the top you take yo pic but he's one of them
donnell mosley no one said he sucked. They said the video sucks because it ended
first time I seen him play a c3
our style is alike.
:-( im wondering what happened to the rest of the video! i would love to see the rest of it
Got all the ladies around the key you can only have one you fast its in your blood
