I sometimes think people who only see snippets of Jon Batiste on Stephen Colbert don't realize how greatly talented he is. Good to see Corinne...another underrated talent.

[Freesingskills]

batiste is one of the most intuitive accompanyists and what great company!

[daudidaudi]

I like how in the end they look at each other like two kids who've just stolen candy together!

Corinne, I think I'm gonna Put Your Records On!!!

[Laura]

It's so good to see Corinne back doing what she does best. She's an absolute star 🇬🇧

[LiyaZuluM]

Corinne Bailey Rae is one of the few artists who can sing other artist's songs and not take away from the original but still sound like herself and it be beautiful.


Side note: When will folks wake up to the gift that is Jon Batiste?

[zeineguy]

Am in love all over again!! Please never leave us again!! You have gone through so much, God bless you Corrine.

[hey.noah.]

It's insane how beautiful this is..they should make a record together

[luciasciore]

The strength and beauty of her singing and his playing blows me away! More...More...

[cosmorecordz]

I was always hoping these two would make a classic Jazz tunes album together just piano and her voice nothing more - perfection

[DutchJoan]

There is music for every voice. It is food for the soul.

Much as I’m missing Stephen this week, I love Jon Batiste and all his musical collaborations. My dad is an intuitive musician and the sound of piano keys was my favourite to fall asleep to.

[NailahRoberts]

This brought tears to my eyes, please release an album together.

[tondaleyoduff]

I just played my Donny Hathaway album, miss his talent and message. This young lady has a beautiful voice and it is superb. Thanks for the encore!!!!

[chachashotchicken]

This song is sang so beautifully by our beautiful and amazing CBR she and Jon need an entire album of these timeless classics. Raw talent is rare these days. I think this collaboration is AMAZING! Some day we will all be free!🤟🏽

[MiguelDunham]

Beautiful! Her voice has such a nice edge to it and his playing just works. Wonderful pairing.

[maitefaangaza]

I was fortunate to see him at a free concert in the park in Brooklyn a few summers ago. He is a true master on that instrument and funny and full of life. Will never forget it! ❣️

What miserable person would dislike this? Who hurt you?

More of this, please and thank you.

[ianmilleruk]

These unrehearsed videos are surely an album in the making?
