There is no one in show business like Leon Bridges. His concert at Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater FL was the finest soul man blues Texas boogie panorama I have ever experienced. This is coming from a blues soul rock addiction since the fifties.Just spent the night in paradise y'all. You gotta love Leon.

I don’t think there’ll ever be a moment in time when I will have heard “Coming Home” a satisfactory amount of times...

Who tf hits the dislike button on this? Like I genuinely want to know why they would? Leon Bridges' Coming Home record is a masterpiece that is a shot in the arm back to that Motown sound!

He traveled here from the past to bless us with some soul.

It's timeless, genre-less. If you like music, you have to like Leon Bridges.

Leon is from my hometown and he represents with true Texas class and style. how anyone can be hating on Leon, baffles the mind! I believe he has a wise soul. his taste in vintage clothing is better than sliced bread. his mama holds her head up high with a smile as big as this fine state we live in. she made no mistakes as a parent in my eyes. lol! He is everything that is good in a man, with a golden voice, and lyrically gifted. he has a great head on his shoulders. Since his, literally overnight, fame happened, he seems to remain humble. if we all tried to be even half the person he has grown to be, we'd be living in a kinder society than what the haters here promote. that would be a great thing!

+ FaceKick =Talented People, aren't always in a great mood. They are allowed to have bad days too, just like you. I'd be willing to bet you pass a few people that you don't speak to every single day.

Viva Madre well said!

Dislikes? Really? This type of talent and artistry should have millions of views instead of the mainstream crap that's out there. God bless you Leon..Thank you so much!!!

Agreed!

I love Leon Bridges music! Fell in love with him when I first heard his song "River" as a kid and I obsessed over it because in my mind it was a song about my name lol my friends and sisters would be like "You really think this man you've never met wrote a song just for you?" 😖

Wake up and play this daily. Soul cleansing magic!

I literally have chill bumps from "River". "Surrender to the Lord, He'll wipe your slate clean.."

I love that song so much too

Why isn't music like this, with talented singers and real musicians, in the Top 40?

Because this sound is now known as CLASSIC style. Timeless, yet not fresh enough to be trendy or "pop".

Eric Hanaway because it's real.

Incredible performance -- and yes, filming this in black and white would have taken this to another level.

that would have been lovely

Leon has been a blessing to my ears, airwaves, and my soul. He is a vessel that compels, and that can be rare to find. I want to thank you Leon for your gift of word. You have a knack for hitting the nail on the head, and bringing tears to my eyes 🤗🥰 Much love and blessings 🤟🏾✌🏾🧬

The two vocalists compliment each other nicely. One of the best tiny desk concerts for sure :)

Ooooh I love her hair, it is so beautiful. :)

Himanshu Rajmane do you know her name?

I love that in every single performance he sings it with his all and has so much soul into it

idk how many times I've watched this, and I still don't get tired of it

Salute to LB for being genuine, unique and standing out in a dull crowd of shallow artists. Those that succumb to the machine to make music they've been conditioned to think is hot... Step aside.

This is how I imagine heaven sounding.

Discovered him yesterday and he’s all I’ve been listening to today. I’m kinda obsessed lol
