Let's shout out the drummer for his control. A lot of cats would have went crazy looking for an opportunity to shine!

I’m Chinese, this video get me into gospel music, get me start to read bible, cannot say more about the power of music and emotion

Love the way he doesn't resolve the last chord, as if proving that Crispell's legacy never ends...

Back listening to this in 2023 and it still has the same effect.

4:55 he ends on a dominant sus4 chord, a chord that wants to resolve extremely badly, and he intentionally leaves it unresolved, ending the song here and creating a sense of unfulfilled longing in the audience. perfectly captures the mood of the memorial.

this is the most emotional video for me man. the way he drops his head after playing the signature riff at the end just gets to me.

My favorite part is at 4:04 where you hear someone say "that sounds like Melvin too" what an amazing honor.

The ending was the equivalent of a preacher doing a mic drop. Amazing.

I'm an atheist, but his playing was so beautiful I saw God! Can't hold back the tears every time I hear that ending.

Dat unsolved ending chord. Genius to end it with that!

Still watching this in 2022, still sounds amazing.

Pastor (middle) is like: “go easy on my organ Cory, we still paying on it”!! LOL

I can't play this loud enough

Everytime I hear a beast musician, it just makes me want to get better

At the end, a few seconds ago, I'm tearing up. Half way through Cory's playing I'm thinking it just doesn't get any better than this. That was the most moving instrumental I think I've ever heard in my life. I don't have words to describe this right now....

My LORD, How beautiful....He needs a Grammy for this. He's a beast. Absolutely mind-blowing. I got saved just by listening to this.

That ending was EVERYTHING!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

So nobody is going to notice his eyes close half the time 👏

I watch this everyday!!!

Cory Henry = Simply: Amazing. RIP Melvin Crispell. #AWonderfulTribute

Greatest organ solo I ever heard. Ever.

Firstly, this needs to be listened to with headphones, or through a system with speakers... Cory Henry is not flavour of the month, or flavour of the moment... he is flavour of the Century!! For those who knows Melvin's playing, you'll know how fitting this tribute is!! Perfect! Both young and old are lashed!! Whether you play or not, it is amazing, just amazing. When he plays Melvin's signature at the end, he is truly overcome, which totally puts into perspective the occasion. Thanks Cory for the reminder of how amazing and inspirational Melvin was. RIP Melvin Crispell.

Corey’s ability to play in a room full of people screaming in excitement and disbelief as if it’s just him and the organ in the room all alone is amazing. It shows the maturity and composure of his musicianship. One of the all time greats for sure!

The Billy Preston of our time.

I'm just an old white guy and a former Christian, yet I can't but witness the anointing of this brother, moved me to tears and rockin' in my seat so many times. I would gladly give Cory the last drop of my blood, if it came down to that. Thank you Spirit!

That last chord progression he played which was Melvin's signature progression took me in. He sound just like Melvin crispell

I shed a tear at the very end when Cory rested his face on his hands then just pushed the drawbars in and left the organ. Melvin Crispell is already missed! Fantastic tribute!

I hate that people are saying they were"being to easily entertained" these people were celebrating the life of a man that they knew. And Henry went out there and played his whole entire heart out. That's what I feel every time I hear this. I can tell how close he was to that man just by the way he played. Those people were respecting Henry and probably also noticing how heart felt his performance was. I get that it's a funeral and all and there are sad moments. But there not supposed to be sad. There supposed to e the celebration and remembrance of someone's life and them entering a better life in heaven. That's just how it's is.

The power of God flowing through this man's hands and feet! Praise God!

I really want to understand what happens inside the mind of those 183 people whom click the dislike buttom. This is one of the most amazing B3 performance I´ve ever seen. And my references are Joey de Francesco, Jimmy Smith, Wild Bill Davis, Dr. Lonnie Smith and many other great players. Thumbs down?? Seriously?? Get a life sick people...

Oh but God! When Cory held his head down and his soul when into those keys! Lord I felt his pain and everytime I hear it Cory! 😢 God bless you son & Our Wonderful, Merciful God! - Blessing, "J" 🙏🎶🎵🎹❤

Who TF could ever dislike this?????

This was saying goodbye to a friend with your instrument in the truest sense black people know how to do. I'm moved to tears at the end. He ended the way he did because he said all he had to say with his heart not with proper words. One love

8 years old and still coming back monthly to witness the blessing that is Cory Henry.

Everytime I listen to this it's like it's brand new! LAWD! This inspires me to push on!!! Hope I can meet this bro. one day or better still...play along with him!

I'm not so sure that ending was planned Brian Bernstein, The way Cory ended this with his head on the keys makes me think he was just so overcome with emotion and that he had really given his all - truly 100% - that he literally had no more to say or play. And leave it right there. That too moved me even further info places I can't describe. Cory Henry makes the organ sound s o effortlessly cool and ultra-contemporary, with roots deep in the past (I mean waaaaaay back), through Stevie Wonder and beyond. This guy is making musical history. He's gonna be talked about and listened to, next century as well as this one! 😀

Every time I listen to this, I’m moved to tears. The last few minutes felt as if Corey was giving the wheel over to Melvin to let him go at the keys one last time. Even all these years later, we miss ya Melvin. I’m sure the music in heaven has gotten even better since you’ve gone sir.

He's the best I've heard.

It is a gift from God.. Beautifully. i Watching every day..

I've said it for years this whole video is historic legendary gifted prowess, Cory Henry is the kind of musician that can on one hand inspire you to be your ultimate best at all times but on the other hand can make you want to give up playing and find something else to do, i've heard this numerous times by other musicians, he 's the "Jimi Hendrix" of keyboard and organ playing. In this video he pays tribute to a great, phenomenal, legendary musician and songwriter, no doubt Melvin Crispell has been classified as the G.O.A.T. Cory Henry also writes another chapter in the history of his career all at the same time. It's that last part when Cory stops playing that does it for me. I've seen musicians in church do that but this was different, it's like Cory took us on a trip to heaven throughout his rendition, then when he stopped playing it's like back to earth, back to reality, Melvin's not here. Almost like waking up from the perfect dream then you realize it's only a dream now.

The piece of music is a life encapsulated in five minutes. Clearly the way Cory was feeling it. This guy taps into the mysteries of the universe somehow, I dunno how he does it but I love it. Things make sense when he plays.

I can honestly say I am responsible for about 150 of these views! This video is just that dope.

Wow, COREY, been watching the lord do wonderful thing's in your life since you were a child , gby, keep going my brother

I never knew I was missing something in my life until I heard it and saw it with my own two eyes

Please share the link if you choose to. Ripping it from youtube to upload to Facebook is a loss of quality and undeserving for this heart felt performance. Thank You!!

This is medicine to my ears! Cory you are truly something special and you are definitely a living legend. Just don't make no sense....smh lawd ham mercy

God bless you Melvin, and Lord Keep his family safe, continue to bless them.

Corey Henry is anointed and has a powerful music and perhaps a preaching ministry. I pray for him as if he were one of my sons. Keep playing for Jesus Christ of Nazareth!

Care about religion I do not. But I do care about music and musicianship. This is absolutely wonderful!

Absolutely Transcendent!!! Everytime I watch/hear this performance it gets better! This is Like Fine Wine to Musicians and Music lovers alike! 🙌🏾🙌🏾👽👽🎶🎶💯💯. -12

I don't know why but his playing bring tears to my eyes.

Just saw Cory Henry live at the High Sierra music festival. Hands down one of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. Everyone that was at the show felt the same way. Magic. Truly amazing experience. Sending immense gratitude to the whole band for a very special special time!

He almost played my home going at the same time after watching this.

You can never get tired of hearing this tribute!

My my my...I'm glad God's love has never changed... that was awwwwesome my brother ...I was a good friend of your uncle we hung together when he was here in the Bahamas...God's blessings. I hope to meet you some day..keep on blazing.

It's beautiful how black people have that deep sense for music, not generalizing here, but comeon it's obvious..look how they cheer in joy collectively at some intricate changes :)

The part on 1:16 - 1:18 is so dirty!! Wow! Absolutely amazing how the drum cymbals ts-ts-ts in the background as Cory fades the organ back in!! Then at 2:32 - 2:35!! The creativity and change of pace is astounding!! Then he ends with such respect and acknowledgement of when the Spirit says, "That's enough."

I've lost count as to how many times that I've watch this but every time, God speaks to me and it brings tears to my eyes. Wow, I get so moved every time.

That ending touches my heart every time! RIP Melvin!

just completely blown away by the beauty of this video. i never listened to gospel, Melvin Crispell (RIP), or been to church- yet it still comes through. incredible.

The more I’ve watched this, the more I like it, and the more I want to watch it. The energy in the room was absolutely electric, and the end? So moving...channeling the Infinite

Cory Henry" Lord Lord Lawwwd! How Mercy..Smh.. You're musical🎶 blessings are truely endless.. You're simply amazing..

Man, I listen to this a 1,000 times a day... So addicting.

I keep watching this beast play Corey Henry is truly an annoited player nasty on that organ R.I.H Melvin

Who in the world, in their ever lovin' right mind would DISLIKE THIS CLIP?! This will rank up there as one of the greatest musical moments EVER captured on film and what a tribute!

This tribute is so powerful and emotional!!my goodness!!. cant stop watching it. a shamed im finding it 3 years later, but will enjoy it from here on out. loved hearing the organ growing up in church just the raw emotions and talent that can be conveyed through it.

Oh Man, Cory. God has blessed you. Keep giving it back!!!

Stunned and stupefied. Watching again.

Ugh, every time I watch this, tears of joy...

My first time hearing this young man... BRILLIANT!

That's a full heart playing. Glory dope!!!

Wonderful articulation, This guy has the element's of music understood...

OH WOW...I ALMOST CAUGHT THE HOLY GHOST!!!.....CORY HENRY....HANDS DOWN...U THE MAN ON THAT HAMMOND ORGAN BROTHER!!!

I'm mesmerized!!!! Can't get enough of this!!!!

The way PJ gave those nods of approval like yes I trust in you my bruddah!

This tribute said what all musicians influenced by Melvin Crispell wanted to say,, This was heart felt..

The guy in the middle (the pastor?) looks like he's worried that things might get out of hand any second.

I have watched this 40 or 50 times. Still cant get over the pure skill dripping from Cory's fingers and feet.

I thoroughly enjoy all of Melvin Crispell's songs written. This Cory Henry is awesome and a real musician... I wanted to play the organ and stopped learning.. I now wish I kept learning.. I love this tribute...

I want him to play at my funeral...

literally just incredible.... especially the ending somehow he just freakin completely captured his feelings in that shit...

Yo I've listened all kinds of jazz my whole life......I have never heard a turnaround like that at 2:48 EVER!!! CRAZYY!! Upon 1st hearing that I had to pause and think about life before repeating and studying that approach. Cory is otherworldly.....

Cory Henry, God Bless You! You, sir are extra special. There's anointing all over your playing.

That run at 3:58 was so cold, dude standing next to the organ had to wipe his ear out at 4:08.

I'm not familiar with gospel music so (without no disrespect of any kind) I did not really knew Melvin Crispell's art. But what I know is this : If Cory Henry played such an amazing, right-from-heaven solo, Melvin Crispell must have deserved it. RIP Mr. Crispell.

Wonderful is your name Lord Jesus 👑! ! You woke me up this morning, you started me on my way, you put food on my table and you brought joy to my day! ! For the rest of my life, I'll serve you Lord Jesus 👑! ! ! Play on Cory for the Lord 👑! !

Corey Henry is a beast and a half. He's one of my favorite organists along with Melvin Crispell. RIP Melvin Crispel.

My God! This guy is heaven sent!

He got JESUS tapping his foot. #blessed

I have no words....... Fills my heat, no saturates my heart with joy!!!

Cory Henry. U did an awesome job. No one else could've done that but you. Absolutely perfect. And by the way yal hush up talking bout all these different folks taught Cory. God taught him. Hes been playing since he was 2 or 3. When he started playing my dad was still playingvat Washington Temple. Bless u Master Cory.

I've watched this atleast 300 times!!!!!

Awesome Talent brother~! Love this heart for Christ~!

In old times Charles Reyes was there and same crowd was howling too.. this will never perish, pass through generations to generations. Corey, you are an inspiration man!!#Blackpower

Cory Henry is one of the most humble yet talented musicians.

trying not to break down in tears in this Starbucks. holy crap.

Thank you for posting.

It doesn't matter if you enjoy the genre of gospel music. If you listen to the composition and emotion in his music you have to recognize the genius in his musicality. Really extraordinary musician blessed with many other gifts I'm sure but he has lived up to his potential with this piece of music. I so enjoyed listening to, and watching this video.

ONE of the best individual performances ive ever seen...

Those chord transitions from 2:49 to 2:55 are sick. Even the congregation felt them.
