YouTube recommended me this… I Feel like I did something right in this life
-
As a disabled person with autoimmune arthritis and just leaving the hospital with pneumonia, this video rocked my world. I wish I had taken time to appreciate the movement and freedom to breathe. Now sitting here watching this video I can’t take my eyes off of all of you. Jon this video is so uplifting that I cannot stop watching it. Thank you. I will never take any movement for granted again.
-
Finally, a black video where people actually have on clothes, not guns, no drugs, no violence! Love it!
-
Now that's soul, black soul, that's the way they dance in Louisiana. My kind of music that makes even the cripple want to get up and shack that back side. I enjoy all of your music videos, especially this one. Thanks, Mr. Batiste, for bringing joy, laughter and body-movement into our lives. WELL, DONE Mr. Soul Man. 01-30-24.

Feels like James Brown crossed with Michael Jackson seasoned with a heavy helping of New Orleans
-
My mom is buried in New Orleans and I was missing her A LOT today. You Tube recommended this video to me. I think this is my mom's way of telling me she is good. Love you mommy!💓
-
I love that these folks are real sizes and shapes and faces of people- NOT models.
-
Marvin's proud legacy. Motown's vibe is still groovin' babe
-
No lie, I'm here after the Grammys--because I'd never heard of this guy before. But after listening this song (and I'll check out a few more on his channel for sure), he DESERVED the win! His music is good!!!!
-
Oh man, Jon! You got it! Thanks for sharing your unbelievable, such ORIGINAL talent with the world! It's just what we need at this time!!
-
His concert was phenomenal in Atlanta at Tabernacle! Do NOT miss an opportunity to see him live!
-
"you shine, you're shinin'" Bless Jon Batiste for spreading joy in the dark times!
-
never heard of this dude until the grammys this year, how is he not more popular he absolutely killed it
-
I first heard this song from my next door neighbors. He is an older gentlemen and his wife passed in early 2020. His family comes over on Sundays and they blast music in their driveway and have a dance party with mostly gospel music or jazz. My family and I always dance in our driveway with them and that's when I heard this song. I really loved it and now I'm a big fan of Jon Batiste. Thank you to my neighbors!
-
I looove this colourful expression of joy and happiness. Jon look into the Medical Medium books written by Anthony William. There's so much healing information also about mental health that I've heard you mention in different talks you've had. It's Spirit of Compassion of the most high that gives us the information to free us. I'm not selling anything to you. I'm a simple musician in Finland healing my cronique sickness (that has me staying at home, hardly able to work) with this informtaion and it's so precious I want to share it. Bless you and your wife.
-
John Batiste is an incredible musician, composer and one of the most talented entertainers in the world.
-
He deserved the Grammys, this is the music of healing.
-
The colors, styling, energy and gorgeous people...ya'll aced the assignment. Jon, you have a new fan. Pure joy!!!
-
I miss you on Stephen Colbert. Though now I know and love Louis Cato too. I wish you well. May you and your loved one be happy, may you two be healthy, may you two be filled with loving kindness.
