Marvin's proud legacy. Motown's vibe is still groovin' babe

I love that these folks are real sizes and shapes and faces of people- NOT models.

never heard of this dude until the grammys this year, how is he not more popular he absolutely killed 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.

The two genres of music NOLA is known for: jazz and blues. Mr. Batiste delivered with a classic 12-bar blues groove, staying true to his NOLA roots. 🙌🏽

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.
-
This is hands down, the most New Orleans thing I have seen today.

His concert was phenomenal in Atlanta at Tabernacle! Do NOT miss an opportunity to see him live!

This is literally one of the happiest things I've seen in my life

Oh yeah, FREEDOM, thank you beautiful brother of light and love.
