I grew up in the 80's and 90's, no cell phone camera. When I was a little boy I used to stare at the organ player all service long. I'd walk over and stand next to him and watch-- just like people do today. Eventually I became an organist and played for my church for 20 years. If people looked just an inch deeper than whats on the surface, you'd understand that theres so much more going on that what the eye can see sometimes. You don't know HOW God is working in those people watching him play. You have no idea how the anointing with witch he plays, follows you for the rest of the week, how they are being inspired to serve the lord themselves. Musicians move int he spirit, just like pastors. The woman in the black and white dress recording him on his phone was moved to tears. As a musician, I can vouch that it's WAY more than just watching a guy play. WAY more. So don't begrudge people for watching the musician. God is working on them too.
Forty Nights, I just saw the U-tube comment you wrote about the organist. It seems you wrote it over two years ago, but, I just noticed your comment today. I simply want to say Thank You and let you know that you are so right about this young man. I have been kind of following his musical voyage for a few years. And although you may know who he is by now, I want to tell you, his name is Cory Henry. What you saw him doing on the organ at the church is indeed annointed. He was born in Brooklyn and has been playing the organ since he was about 3 or 4 years old. He went to live with his grandparents after both his parents passed away. He was raised in the church, and his mother was also an organist and she played quite a few other instruments. Long story short, he says that after his parents died he went through quite a few rough patches and gave his grandparents a very hard time. He says they didn't want him to go outside, except to church! So, he kind of rebelled and refused to go to school for a whole year at one point. But he began to study and listen to all kinds of music that year. So, fast forward, he joined the group Snarky Puppys! You can hear him with them, where he is doing some other Worldly Keyboard playing. I don't know how long he was with them traveling the world, but he has his own group called the Funk Apostles! Anyway there is a u-tube video that was taken of Cory Henry playing the organ, and I believe his mother is standing in the standing in the shadows. I think Cory was about 4 years old. Because someone asked him how old he was, and I believe he said 4 y.o. and held up four fingers. I got a chance to hear of him last year in Chicago at Millenium Park. He and his group were to leave Chicag and fly to Sweden. Thankfully, I got a picture of him and with him. He and his group had the City of Chicago totally jumping for joy. This is a great and Sadly segregated city, so, to see the way thousands of people of all races and nationalitys come together to see his concert, without any incidents was a most beautiful thing! Chicago needed that concert, like a flower needs rain. Everyone, please support this wonderful young man, who is seemingly doing all the right things in life. And although he is worldwide famous now, he seems to still be very, very grounded in the church. And I pray he will always be so. I invite the world to support this young man and lastlybIbpray he will always be guided by the godly spirit, hope's and dreams his parents and grandparents evidently instilled in him while he was young. He is indeed, Annointed. Listen For Yourself. And he us protected and covered with the blood! As I sensed something large, and ultra protective hovering over that park that night, every time I looked up! I never met his parents and don't know how and when they died, but something phenominal, serene and nurturing was definitely hovering over that park that night. I have been to concerts there before, but never felt that before, or since!
I love Corey but there are plenty organists just as good as him or better! My Uncle Raymond Stewart is not a popular organist but definitely one of the greatest to ever do it! Glenn Gibson Jr. Can play for any AND everyone also.
@@theadmiral460 It's so many good muscians out there that may never be popular or get the recognition they deserve but they are BAD!!! I love Twinkie Clark and yes COGIC has deemed her "the Queen of the B3 Hammond" but there are some female organist that can play rings around Twinkie! Here come the TCS fans! Lol
Of course Cory is extraordinarily gifted. What stands out to me is how in tuned he is to the service and how he praised God on that organ. How he enjoyed the other guys he played along side. How he payed homage to Derrick at the end. I won't compare him with anyone because you can't. Just enjoy his gift folks.
If white people had church like this, I would be a devout Christian. Instead I'll just have to settle with being an agnostic jazz head and hope God can forgive me. His energy gives me hope in humanity. I love everything Corey does. Even if he was "just" a gospel player my mind would be blown. But knowing how well rounded he is as a musician put's everything on another level. Honestly all of these top notch Gospel guys are like that. Makes me wish I would have came up through the gospel ranks. Their use of energy is the best there is, they know that's the most important part and they have perfected it. I've had the pleasure of doing sound for a lot of different musicians and some of my favorites have gospel roots. God Bless the all! All of these guys are killing it too, not just Corey. Much love. God Bless.
I am a musician, I heard everything, each modulation the pastor took he was right there also, this young man is bad, awesome, words cannot describe him, truly annointed and gifted from the most high omnipotent God !!! It takes someone awesome to do that. Only a true musician can do that because we can hear everything.. Keep on Corey letting God use you!!
People up here talk about the fact the musician are being focused on but it's so often musicians that play their heart out in church get ignored so I'm glad that he is getting the attention he deserves
DevinShoulders The only people upset with hard laboring discipline self sustained musicians who don't beg for anything but rather work for what they deserve are those who were preying on they're downfall
Exactly. Cory Henry is one of the few church musicians that doesn't work to make others jealous. There are other video where he has worked to encourage others to be better at what they do.
As a church organist I can tell you that it's a lot of work. Not everyone appreciates that. Some people are downright nasty. Others are kind and appreciative. It's an interesting experience, indeed.
Out of all the beastliness within this video, what stood out to me most of all was the sight of Cory Henry making the most outrageous facial expressions ever lol! It's reflective of how immersed he is in his music that he doesn't care about anything else. #LoveIt
Damn ... Cory defines "the zone" ... this is a great example of how the church had such a profound impact on popular music and helped create Soul, along with RnB
Why oh why did this clip ever have to end???!!!! God my God. If this is the musical blessing we have on earth, heaven must be seriously of the chain!! After shoutin, the "Yes Lord" at the end put me on the altar!!!
I love it when musicians enjoy what they're playing as much as (if not more than) those they're playing for, regardless of the setting. And in this case it showed through and through. That makes it even more amazing than the skill they display.
This was so dope! Thank God they were able to capture this moment! This was fun to watch and listen to. Cory is probably the best organist I've seen. His shout music is some if the best I've heard. DOPEEEEE
He's been under the tutalage talent and greatness of the best it's by the consequence not coincidence of how he's labored,listened learned at home where he's at
Cory, play on! Please understand whatever your feelings maybe regarding a musician playing secular then playing gospel or vice versa, Matthew 13:30, Jesus stated about letting the tares and the wheat grow together. The rest of it talks about what happens. Many people criticize, but if the CNN was turned on their life, I would hate to see it. Cory, you are an anointed musician. No negativity this way.
The bassist at 13:02 is completely unhinged! Makes eye contact with Cory for a sec and he's off. At 13:56 when he hits that E -> D instead of the D -> C that I think Cory expected, he loses it. Dude's a beast!!
I read all the comments about “watching” and “aspiring” and “recording” and what not. I don’t even have to say anything about the dynamic anointing that rests on Mr. Henry. That’s plain to see, hear, and absorb. I’m a worship leader and musician also. I’ve been playing, singing, and leading the corporate body of Christ in worship to our God for 25 years. All I have to say is that God always gives us a model; an example; a heart, and life to follow. Abraham, Moses, David, Joshua, Deborah, Ruth, Peter, Paul… all models/examples, Chief among them, Yeshua (Jesus). God is not intimidated when we watch, and examine the models He’s set before us. We ought to watch, and learn from these who are powerfully anointed. We could watch these who model the anointing and exemplify, and point us toward the Spirit; or we could watch those who strip on stage, curse God, spew vile and unspeakable ideas, and model all things deprave and obscene. There is nothing ungodly about admiring the God in someone’s gift. The problem exists when we covet the gift alone, in someone else. Just my POV. If I were there, my phone would’ve been recording, too! Corey is my absolute FAV!!!
OMG! Corey Henry! The Goat! Thee Gold Standard! Almighty God has laid his holiest of holy anointing on this young man! I met him in Chicago, and I saw, felt and heard the Annointed Aura Surrounding him and his Band at Millineum Park over a year and a half ago! A Power like no other covered that Sodom & Gomorrah of a city! But, when Cory & his band left Chicago, that annointing left with them. Look how those people turned from the preacher to Cory! Cory is ordained, not by the world, but totally by God, the holy ghost, & everything of God & Jesus Christ All In One! Cory is Sho Nuff Holding Church under the All Power Annointing of the Almighty. He is unusual because of that power. What a Vessel! The whole World should Pray for this Young Man & Support his Every Effort & Step! He is a Walking Testament! Look At God! And witness what God can do with a young man whose both parents died when he was young. So, he was mostly raised by both his grandparents, who were afraid for him to walk outside thier home on the streets of Brooklyn. As a result, Cory rebelled for a while, hit the streets anyway by practicing his craft at a local music store. I think he was about 12 y.o. He said he didn't even go to school for a year after his father died. So, his mother must have died early on! I have followed this young mans story since I happened to see a video of him playing the organ on U-tube at about 3 or 4 years old. His mother was standing in the background. When he was asked how old he was, I believe I saw him hold up 3 fingers. I read somewhere that his mother was a church musician herself & she started teaching him, but after she died, he mostly self- taught himself! If I am wrong about this story, then I am sorry. as I meant no harm. I just think the world should support all youth & thier positive efforts. Because thousands of youth get unjustly labeled for the misguided deeds of a few. Not fair, but, how this world is working right now! Almighty God please send down your power, nurture & protect Cory & all other gifted youth, who are doing the right thing, not according to the world, but under your total Annointing Power! Amen & Amen!
I watch cory as young boy play in our home church unity temple cogic. He been thus way. He has a counterpart mookie collins. Who also is his brother and band mate. In 8:22-26 Mookie show cory that run and style. Its amazing to hear both of them playing on one organ. My God!
I like brother Corey but people need to stay focus, on the word of God going forth...not standing around video the organist!!! It's about giving God glory Corey doing his part, everybody missing that word...now that's power!!!
I know man I'm messing with you, I play piano/organ etc... That's why I like your vids but that must be east cost, because as a pastor myself, in Cali that's not allowed during service time...ijs I'm not saying it hasn't been done, but more than likely they would get shut down for carrying on like that, people standing around the organist making videos...LOL it all good Bro. Larry! Corey is highly anointed and so are you!
