Mr Brian McKnight paying tribute to his friend James Ingram after his passing 🙏🏻 (I do not own the right to this medley, it’s just for sharing the wonderful music of James Ingram)
Brian, sure James would love this. Very thoughtful to remind us how special and how his voice touch and moved us. For me he's right behind Donny Hathaway.
I was a young security guard outside of the dressing rooms at a concert he was singing back in 2006 and I asked him what other songs he sang lol and he started to sing a portion of that song right in front of me.
I HEARD THIS TRIBUTE when I heard about James Ingram. I thought it was beautiful, touching and very appropriate. Brian McKnight is my 2nd favorite male vocalist after James Ingram.
he changed my life for sure - helped me make some important life decisions. 25 years and three kids later - say no more. RIP James. (Great video Brian - love it)
Growing up James Ingram’s music soothed my soul and brought me much joy. His voice was one of a kind, he was definitely one of the greats. Brian I appreciate your tribute, you’re very talented.
One day in Nassau Bahamas, I had arrived to pick up my children from summer camp (basketball). My daughter, then about 5 yrs old wanted me to come out of the car. She took my hand and led me on a longggg walk through plenty children to a man. That man was Brian McKnight. She had no idea who he was. All she knew is that everybody was making a huge deal about him and she figured her Mom needed to meet him too. I could not belieeeeeve whose face I was looking in. All I could do is shake his hand and say: Pleased to meet you Mr Mcknight! My mouth and eyes were wide plop open! My child was just cheesin! I love telling that story:) Mr Mcknight does a lot that people know nothing about.
Damn Brian!! You did justice to these great James Ingram songs. I believe he would be proud to hear your voice and styling interpret his classic hits. Many blessings to you.
So Wonderful and SO SAD to be SO LATE!! I didn't even know Mr. INGRAM had passed. Thank You Mr. McKnight for this heartfelt tribute with your beautiful voice. 🎉THANK YOU ❤
Thank you so much Mr. McKnight for this beautiful tribute to the Legendary Mr. James Ingram who music 🎶will live on and on 🕊 🌹🍃Rest Peacefully in the loving arms of our Creator James .
For all of us who loved and appreciated such an amazing artist, Mr James Ingram I want to say thank you Brian for your tribute. It was great to hear you sing those classic songs. Music like this may not be made anymore but the classics never die. How do you keep the music playing? Through tributes like this. Great job!

Ingram.💐 Since words cannot express, in moments like this, I pray for calmth and peace from "the outside world of press, tv and fans". To let those, so close to mr. J. Ingram, mourn within as much time and space as they need. May God be with you... With the utmost respect, In His service, A. DEE WAI ✝️🌹
Beautiful tribute to one of the greatest singers who ever lived!! Thank you, Brian McKnight!! I agree, Mr. McKnight should record a tribute album containing James Ingram's hits!!
My husband could sing just like James Ingram, loved your music, he passed last year, and I have listening to James and remembering my dear Gene. , and I found this video again.
I'm so sorry for your loss, and acknowledge/respect what you are saying. There are SO many under-appreciated, awesome singers. Eternal love and wishes for a swift rise to heaven. Your loved one is no longer in pain. They will be forever in your heart, though that never takes away the pain.
@@t.s.t.4085 I agree.. watching my mother go thru it over my dad is heartbreaking 💔. I pray for the widows & widowers. How beautiful even have a ❤like these. Some people still looking. God bless u 🙏
I'm so very sorry. Five months is still such a hard time. Gene will never leave you, but still you just want him. I know, and my heart hurts for you. Hang in there.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Nothing will be the same moving forward. May you find strength in knowing that there must have been a purpose for his existence. Humans say a lot, and know nothing. I wish your beautiful partner a swift rise to whatever the fates have in store for us. For me, it remains a glorious mystery. I'm hopeful to go to God, which for me, embraces ALL people/perspectives and rise swiftly to Heaven.
James Ingram was one of my favorites before you, Brian! I still love your singing honey but why didn't you sing "There's just no easy way" that was one of my favorites of James songs
Brian, I'm so happy to have found this tribute to Sir James Ingram. I still feel like I did when I first heard the news - not handling it well at all. This music is so healing, and your love for him and the legacy he left is incredible. He'd be so pleased to hear this. Thank you, God bless you.
Definitely when I first heard One Last Cry, I thought “Brian McKnight reminds me of James Ingram😇🙏🏾❤️Brian thanks for taking the time to do this, Tank could’ve never pulled this off😂, do a tribute album, only you could do it🎹
I remember 'One Last Cry'..usually after the late movie, when TV had a 'sign off' time. Brian's spinning in the video was a reflection of the confusion I have felt at different life stages. The lyrics were especially poigniant; the falling leaves, life's jigsaw..falling into place. James always was his own man. He haunted me for years with 'Always You'..the opening bars, then lines: "Seemed like yesterday.." His question "How do you keep the music playing?" now bears relevance to the fact that the notes are now not the same, and the arrangements lack longevity. The originators of 'the music' are falling- the Other Side must be a feast to the ear. Tank. Tank. Tank. It was heartening to hear his potential for having soul. I look to his less risque lyrics...I still appreciate coy, subliminal and subtlety. Tank is the unnatural falsetto..almost like he was afforded what could constitute 'overdose'. But he proved the music keeps on playing. "Look at me, I'm such a mess.." I'm sure he was aware of the mess those words had potential to create. Three good voices. (Hopefully) That was a good ramble.
No amount of awards could replace the pride we feel for brian using his talents to bless the world with song. His mother was and is the proudest and he has honoured her well. Respect.
Title it the james ingram project. You just gave me goose bumps. Please do this!!! Maybe include a few michael mcdonalds greats with it on piano!! A must do!!
Mr James Ingram is always going to be remembered and listened to through his wonderful work and one of his loves.....MUSIC!!!!! Mr B Mcknight, what a tribute. A true representation of what us fans feel but cant deliver. So many thanks for this!!!!! RIP Mr James Ingram!!!!
Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh James, James, James......thank you for being a source of encouragement to me personally haha.....thank you dearest Brian for helping me piece it together now, James was ahead of his time truly. Goodnight sweet friend.
Thank you Brian. I feel like this great voice left the world and there was no pause in the music industry for him. I just lost my mom too March 23, 2019. Worst feeling in the world. R.I.P Mommy and James Ingram.
I have loved James Ingram since I first heard him sing "Just Once" , way back in 1981 . I still have such a beautiful and vivid memory of dancing with my then newborn baby , Isabel to that lovely anthem . That precious daughter later went on to become an amazing and talented dancer and choreographer , and is still doing it strong. Maybe, just maybe that song impacted her in some special way . Thank you Brian McNight for this lovely , heartfelt and beautifully sung tribute . You are a very special person to be able to keep James' music alive soooo elegantly. George Lewis, Sr.
I'm about to lose my mother to an aggressive cancer which, cared not at all, about her strength. For so many dealing with illness: God is here. No one knows. We tired.
I lost my beloved , beautiful mother last week to a horrific/unrelenting cancer. God, please grant her a swift, peaceful rise to heaven. (My religion has the soul rising in 40 days.) Grant my family Grace, Peace, and most importantly, Understanding during this time.
I loved James Ingrahm. What beautiful love songs he gave us. They don't make songs like that often anymore, except for Brian McKnight of course.... Thank you for this tribute and for all the lovely music that you have given us to live and love thru. I adore you Brian and wish you much happiness in your new life with your new wife. You deserve joy and happiness. Your a good and talented guy. Pray for your children and keep living and being happy no matter what.
Ive been listening Mr Brian Mcknights music since i was in high school im now 41 his music is the soundtrack to my life...i listen to him in different moods and they help me through the bad times...his voice...arh.no words❤😂🎉
As a kid in the age of 18 i listen to Quincy Jones. The albums he made introduced me to James Ingram and since that period i never stopped listening to this great man. Thank you for beeing such a great part of my musical life.
😔😢😭Got me in tears. Gone too soon. RIP. I’m so disconnected from the media & world that I didn’t even know he had passed away. I was happier not knowing this sad news. Wow. Damn, just damn. 😢😭😩😔
Thank you for this well done tribute. I've been a fan of James Ingrams' since I was a kid. He sadly passed on my birthday so I was like wow... anyway thanks again for honoring him in this way. I'm always a lover of your music as well Brian 👏👏🤘
With the respect that comes from the heart and consideration towards also "the fans"! Of course, the music of mr. James Ingram will (or rather can't) not be forgotten! From what I understand, mr. James Ingram was a man who had excepted Christ in his life as His Saviour. And THAT, by definition, literally means he will live on - forever! Still, within the aspect of remembering him here on earth, I think the ones who were closest to his heart, are the ones who miss him the most. They really KNEW him, as: in person. Maybe mr. James Ingram himself would have thought of that the most. That's also a way of showing him respect🌺. When maybe being a christian yourself(?), you could keep them in your prayers?💕 And I mean this with all dew respect towards fans🎼. God bless. Sincerly, A. DEE WAI.
beautiful tribute, I loved James Ingram every since i was a kid. i was too young to understand, but it was still beautiful to me, i love his voice. Brian looks have gotten better with age 😍
Great tribute from Brian McKnight to the great James Ingram. James Ingram truly one of the best to make and create music. He left a lasting impression.respect to Brian McKnight paying tribute
