Gotcha Now Documentary: Part 2 (The life & music of Cory Henry) 

thanks a lot, i really appreciate the encouraging words.

Cory said: "I hope that when I play, I touch people"... You certainly do, man! I love the way you play.

Cory, I saw you perform with Snarky Puppy last Sunday nite in L.A. at the Mint and while you were playing one of your solos it literally put me in tears. You were looking straight at me while you were playing and although I can't play like you, I felt deep within my soul what you were feeling and expressing through your playing. It was like a transfer from your soul to mine. That is the impact that your God given talent has on people. I was touched and it was such a blessing. Thank you.

Not over exaggerating, this documentary has changed me. I'm so inspired.

thanks bro

"The greatest teacher is your ear". That statement is worth the price of admission....

i've watched the melvin crispell tribute MANY times... and Cory, you have definitely made me want to be better... just through that performance

What I love is you got all these different styles of music, but when you do your gospel sets, you keep it traditional, when a lot of musicians won't.

a real genius with a good heart, keep god first and only good things will come to this earth for you brothern.

The best organist I've heard in about...30 years! Unbeleavable talent.🌹✌️

Genius. A beautiful player and superlative musician. And such soul in his playing!

I remember when I first heard Art Tatum... Changed my life as well. I will also remember this night forever. The night I discovered Cory Henry.

He epitomises 'dedication' and i hope i get to see him play one day live.

It would be great to see a longer history of Cory. An ordinary person who made himself - such a story can change the lives of many people and motivate them.

Dear Mister Henry: you leave me speechless with everything you play... thank you so much. You drag me through my depressions.

I'm starting to study Cory! Someone just sent me a clip of him and his Funk Disciples in Chicago and they played the best version of Funkadelic' Good to Your Earhole!!!! He's a genius!!!

"The best teacher is your ear"

Bro, just by looking at your parents' pictures, you can tell they were very sweet people. I really enjoyed the documentary; the intro of you playing as a small child was great! I really laughed with your response to the question: what do you want to be when you get big? Lol. Be well, Cory!

6:14 was amazing, you saved yourself in the most clean fucking way I can't believe you did that

What an awesome gift he was given by the Lord. I totally agree when you have a gift like that you need to study other forms of music to "up" your game. However (for everyone reading), it is imperative that you keep the Lord and how He wants you to use your gift FIRST, so that it can be blessed and flourish the way He would have it. I hope that Cory keeps playing in church, but not just playing there; letting God grow him in the things of God. Awesome music. That Heart at Midnight... great!!

Thankyou for this, as a singer who grew up in church but was always different and wanted to learn everything, jazz, classical, arabian, celtc, country, I needed to see someone break the box, and make their life, thankyou for this wonderful documentary, im raising my daughter to appreciate music and play what's in her heart.. more young people need to see this.

Cory, thank u 4 playing music the way it's supposed 2 b played: 1. Without Walls & 2. From the SOUL!!!

I love Cory. Most of keyboard players here in Mizoram(India) first started in church like you, please come to Mizoram :-)

I feel more inspired to be more creative in my playing and understanding and interpretating music. Thanks Cory! So much Love from Nairobi, Kenya.. 🇰🇪 🇰🇪

" I hope that when I play I touch people in a way to...you know, just be a better person" These words struggle to find their way out of his mouth due to his sincere humility which only contributes to touch you deeper, made me roll down a tear. You certainly have a gift to inspire people "to be better at whatever it is that they do" at the very least, but now when you play out of emotion is that you inspire your audience to be better persons. Little 3 years old Cory received that gift with a big smile and never let it go, moreover, devoted his life to the hard work of perfecting it just to share it with the world.

My daughter plays by ear. This video has helped to inspire her to play with feeling. She's really young and have a long way to go but musicians like you who open up about playing music and what drives you to do what you do helps younger musicians to connect and get an understanding of working hard and striving to do their best. Thank you kind sir. I follow you through COGIC

Cory has pretty much set the new benchmark for both jazz pianists and organists. The level of technical prowess and musical creativity is almost beyond compare.

When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be. When we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout the victory. God has done great things. God has done great things, praise His holy name. I came here to give God the glory, All the glory, all the glory. Wow! Beautiful story. First time hearing this. All these years later and it came to pass. Your music is inspirational and transcendental…literally.

One of the best I came across playing the organ .

What a blessing this is🙏 so many of the greats of our time don’t get documented like this👊 love cory

Hey Cory! Your talent, and your way to be, is such a great example for me. Nowadays, is really diffcult to find a musician with values towards Life. As you say, music is just to turn a person into a better human being. Despites al your problems and difficulties, you were able to keep up going your musical career. Thanks for being such a humble musician , and for being an inspiration for all of us, whose are starting on the music career. Cheers!!!

at 7:10 - 7:44 he plays the Mr Roger's show closing song. "It's such a good feeling to know you're alive . . . "

Cory i just love you playing my Brother.... I enjoy every moment of it.

.This needs to be a Full Documentary man!!.. You give such amazing insight bro!.. Such a blessing to see &hear this!.. Bless u bro!..

Corey, I am so glad to have viewed both documentaries, 1 & 2 (Didn't notice a third). You are surely an anointed musician and it seems to have been apparent from your early years. I AM inspired to cultivate my gift, even the more, after nearly 35 years as a church musician. You said something that I heard a younger musician say, about knowing your instrument. It took me some time to understand that... Now, I am glad I do and am seeking to improve on what I had already developed. The acoustic piano, organ and keyboards are ALL different and though one can often imitate one of the others, a great musician can play skillfully on either and not sound exactly the same. I hear that in your playing. It is also beneficial to learn various genre's of music... the foundational skills and techniques transcend and work in many styles of music, as you have also demonstrated. Keep doing what you do... You ARE a blessing to many, beyond your imagination.

Nothing but respect for brother Cory. Thinking outside of the box increased his talent and increased his gift. God bless him.

Man!! I know you have a lot of Cats messaging you but I gotta tell you being a classically trained pianist, I know the hard work and dedication it takes to be a great musician. I admire you for your fortitude and spiritual professionalism that is included in WHATEVER genre you play in! God bless you man and please keep on inspiring young musicians to take their craft seriously!! By the way you have played with one of my very good friends in ministry (PJ Morgan) May his favor keep you bro!

Thank you Cory for sharing your life history! I am inspired by your story as I am excited for where you go. Master the healing, deliverance and promotion found in your music. Your music carries an energy that is transcendent and will carry one's being past the conscious into the super-conscious. Awesome!

Hey Cory , got to say you are an inspiration to all of us . like i left my instrument for twenty years. life of having a family.so knowing your instrument was on key .I came back strong and loving every minute of it. I'll be watching your lesson to learn from you God Bless .Love Brooklyn since I grew up there also.but miss it a lot .but we got you to bring us there now Thanks.

I think i needed to see this today wow. Some people's talents are so pure and well groomed that it ignites the passion and desire to practice and find your own sound and expression. This creates better music and restores passion to the sound. Great job Corey. Stir up the gifts!

Amazingly I hear.... I feel where you are coming from.. I bet you have mastered Bach as well. Your family legacy will lives through you it speaks through you... Many blessings

very impressive and encouraging. the talent is amazing. Keep pounding!

that´s exactly what I felt when I saw Cory live. to be a better musician, to work hard every single day and to be real! thank you man!

one more thing... the 'rooftop' video is a huge highlight of Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles' massive musicality and heart-felt grooves. Can't say to much about it, or enough.

Dear Cory, Is there a third part of the documentary? This is amazing. Thanks

just realized I once had the same sweater as you.... excellent I must be doing something right... one day Cory I'll make you proud! I feel the music like you, but I'm still stuck by my limitations of learning late.. hopefully it's gonna improve so I can freely emote like you man thank you

I watch this every so often to help stay inspired to practice hard and do what I do.

Too beautiful. To think I just saw you 5 days ago in London, I've always appreciated your musicianship, but this makes me appreciate it yet further. Best of luck with the rest of the tour.

I wanna play keys like this man after seeing this you've become my favorite musician and I got a new standard! God bless!

As a 18 year old kid, who just figured out how to play piano for church from ear, no sheet music. No teacher. No anyone. just watching and hearing, I feel like I've accomplished nothing compared to you. But I hope to one day be on your level.

I got to see Cory and the Funk Apostles for new years eve 2018 and it was hands down one of the best shows I've been to. Cory and the band are an inspiration!

I've been listening to you for yrs so I can't believe I'm just stumbling onto this. Your gifts are truly a blessing to you and the world (and Art Tatum would DEFINITELY be proud). Thank you brotha... for doing what you do.

You are a brilliant young black man. I encourage you to continue.

Cory, you are blessed ! You should go around to schools and community's, to enspire children to follow your footsteps ~❤~

I honestly watch this AT LEAST once a week and when I do I get inspired and get on my board immediately and start practicing no matter how good I am...#justahumblemusician

Cory you are really touching peoples lives and I am getting better because I listen to you play and I trust lots of other people are getting better too. I love you so much bro. God bless you. I wish you came to Nigeria. Expected you at Xovar lounge by Collins Jacobs as I heard you were suppose to be in Nigeria last year or two. I love you bro. God bless you

Just watching this now. I want you to know you touched my heart and inspired me and charge my passion for music. Thank you, Cory. Keep doing what you're doing.

Glad to hear you giving respect and name-checking the masters. You will go far.

A friend of mine told me about C.H. last nite and I`m so glad he did. I hope some day I`ll see him play in Argentina. Thank you for sharing this.

im glad he made the statement the the organ and piano are different instruments cause i play the organ thats what i learned on and its all i ever played. in some cases like playing at different churches that may not have an organ or outside programs ill play keyboard but it just dont sound the same. ive never really been a fan of playing piano i love to hear it but Hammond is my stomping ground

CORY YOU R PLAYING IS VERY INSPIRATIONAL AND IT INSPIRES ME TO WANT TO BECOME A BETTER MUSICIAN.

I can really appreciate this documentary. Corey is one of those musicians I try to emulate. Notice i said try lol. I’m a church musician but i love to incorporate some of his jazz flares and classical. This video inspired me to go back and relearn music theory. Thank you Mr Henry.

man you really are an inspiration. I'm a hardcore synthesist and could never play the keys the way you can but you really have inspired me to try to learn more. Truly amazing musician. Thanks for sharing your gift!

love watching you display your God given gift... truly an inspiration

I took a handful of years of lessons for guitar. I still play but 'life' gets in the way and has interrupted the time that i would rather spend playing. I surely don't have the intuition that Mr. Henry has but I would like to play my guitar with intent. I found Snarky Puppy only a few months ago and he and that band have put a smile on my face watching them play. They made me think of time differently and notice the fun and happiness that falls out of their minds and fills their instruments and they and Mr. Henry have inspired me to be better. Thank you for being on this planet Cory and musicians alike.

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your life and talent with us.❤

Man Cory ur insight to music is crazy man ur style is off the scales ur musical genius bro. Much respect brother

You do inspire me. Thank you for working so hard at what you do. Keep pushing the boundaries and breaking new ground. Don't stop surprising yourself.

Watching your videos makes me practice harder. I want to reach that spiritual, emotional level. Keep it goin, master Cory.

Sem Palavras... Cory. You are the inspiration for me. God Bless You. One day, I want play like you.

Your playing has definitely touched me, Cory! Your chops inspire me to keep practicing and getting better :)

Cory Henry, you were touched by the Garment of Jesus Christ at the early stage of your Life, when you rendered Your HEART, MIND and SOUL in giving Praise, Glory and Honor to GOD ALMIGHTY through the Hammond Organ. Your Style of playing is like No one else.

Thank you Mr Henry! You definetly inspired me, musically & personally! Thank you so much for sharin' your vibez!

Love the album you are an artist that I listen to daily, I love true musicians....

You are absolutely inspirational; I just bought your CD on iTunes not too long ago. It's time for you to come out with another one. I'm telling everyone I know about your absolute gifted touch on the keys!!

God Bless you Cory!!!! WOW!!! We missed you at the Snarky concert in Atlanta!

Almost invariably, the prodigies work the hardest. Perhaps it's because they have that special place in their soul to love what they do to an otherworldly degree

Man I hope I can reach your level of playing. Even just to jam with you man, your playing has so much soul to it.

Thank you for sharing this. As best as I can tell, you've done to a significant degree what you've set out to do, "raise the bar"...

The reharmonization of the Mr. Rogers...super sweet!!!

Dude this blessed me Bro......I had now idea about your parents.....I loved every minute....stay up Bro!!

This GREAT man should be protected !!!.... Actually just found him this year 2022...My dad always wanted me to play the B3.. We were poor and couldn't even afford a Casio!! Now at 70 years young I play the guitar or should I say I'm a guitar hack but for years I've had fun playing gigs with the help of one good friend that always seems to get me in his band.... What I mean about being protected is that no harm in any way should even come close to this man.. We've lost so many artist already.. I could not believe his ability at 4 an 5 years old...NO wonder they called him MASTER Cory !! He talks about that he hopes his playing will "touch people"...I can listen to this guy for days...weeks........months !! Thanks the heavens he's also seems to be very religious.... I think it's a gift from God to be this great of a musician !!! I hope he will come close one day to gig near Western NY.......I will be FIRST in line...

Case and point, understand what it takes to get to where you wanna be! This man has a story to tell!

You have inspired me to play piano as well as guitar. Yamaha, and myself, appreciate you.

My inspiration

God bless you Cory, im a Brazilian fan... thank you for your posts!

simply wonderful great to know your work and life God bless you ever!

Watching these docs helps me appreciate you even more as an artist...if that's possible! Keep up the great work bruh!

U are amazing keep doing what u are doing God bless you to do this . Amen.

I just wonder how amazed the Masters (Bach and co.) would be listening to him playing on the grand piano…

You go well beyond inspiring...you change lives.

Thank you very much man you touche me and you make me wanna become a better musician God bless you

so inspiring ♥

My father bought his Rhodes in 1971 at Manny's Music.

Did this guy just play "He has done Great Things" in Art Tatum style? Ridiculously blessed///

I really do love you Cory.

I get caught up on people like Corey Henry because I never took advantage of my youth like he did, but I guess there is still a point in striving for being a better person

You are truly an inspiring cat. Bless you bro.

You are probably the number 1 piano player of our modern day!

WOW!!!!!!!! Your (this) video set out to do exactly what you wanted to do. Just the other day I was telling a friend i want to follow your life to see how you became such a great musician. And look what i stumbled upon after subscribing to your channel. God is good! Keep them coming bro.
