Gregory Porter is one of the greatest voices, currently recording in Jazz and Soul. This cut, from his album of the same title on Motéma Records, is a treasure. I could sit and listen to it for hours on repeat, if I could deal with the goosebumps and the tears of beauty it brings me.
This is the most charming music video I've ever seen. And what a gentle discussion of male vulnerability: "I trim my lion's claws, and I cut my mane...but Be Good treats me just the same."
