how are you not a huge pop star? seriously, as a musician, I'm awed by your songwriting ability. jazzy chords used in a pop/funk context? I could listen to it all day.
He is one of the most gifted musicians of our time I think. He deserves MUCH more attention. I feel his music is created in isolation. It's pure and very real. If you read this, keep doing what you do. You are the truth.
What an incredible, unique talent as well as a captivating performer!! I hadn't seen this side of Francis before. Love it. He was kicking it on Jimmy Kimmel Live, this is so different but top shelf as well. Would have loved to have been there.
Haven't heard 'Always on my Mind' before - that's a really lovely tune! (All the others that I've heard before were great too, of course :D) Great to hear the songs a little differently in this solo set, there's whole lot of soul that really shines through these stripped down versions.
@EgoTrippersUnite I think you are completely pyscho if you don't love this guy! It's a shame that a true talent like this has yet to get the recognition he deserves.
Gets better with each viewing. One question I have is why he chose to play so few songs from 'It'll Be Better'? A solo version of 'Darling It's Alright' would have been great.
why this guy isn't bigger is a travesty........I freaking LOVE EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE!

I'm a fan of all of FATL's work, but I think a different producer could take this music in a totally different direction.
