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 LOVE this video SO MUCH! I moved to New Orleans a few years ago, and this video captures the spirit of this place so perfectly! Just the other night, Jon Batiste came to my neighborhood to play at a small, but very famous, music venue, the Maple Leaf. It sold out before anyone heard about it, but we went down just to catch a glimpse of this genius as he got out of the car to go in, and we did! It was a thrill! The whole neighborhood turned out, there were people selling barbecue and drinks on the street! So NOLA.

And he has such a good positive outlook on things and it really makes you feel good. He's very very sweet we need more people in the world like him

What a fantastic ambassador for the city of New Orleans. The shot at the 48 second mark, of Jon leaning on a car underneath the interstate, with the painting of Alan Toussaint behind him, is a place I drive by every day on my way to work. The marching band featured in the video is, I believe, the St. Augustine High School marching band. And the young lady standing in front of the oak trees is someone I follow on Facebook, who's carrying on the Mardi Gras Indian tradition. And I just learned that apparently Mr. Batiste is an alum of both NOCCA and St. Augustine. This video makes me happy. Thank you, Mr. Batiste.

There is such a rich weave of historical culture in this video, from the drill team to the various vocal techniques, to gospel robes. The dance silhouette is right out of the early 30s and the mohair suits from the great soul groups of the 60s. And the cars! And, of course the whole performance is lifted by a modern sensibility - lots of powerful women and girls. I can't get enough.
