Joey still makes me smile. Thank you Joey.

Whatever you want to call him. The King. The Man. The Master. The Legend. The Greatest. It doesn’t matter. He has spoken. There is nothing else to say. R.I.P. Mr D. You were loved. You are missed. 🙏🏾

Joey was unique. He knew how to get the most out of the B3 with Leslie, and made you a fan of that instrument. RIP!

Lord Jesus! I'm very sad about cannot see more Joey in here, but I believe there are Joey in heaven we are going. R.I.P Joey Defrancesco

Such a loss. Not fair... RIP Joey...

Not fair for him or us? He's far better off than us 😊

What a joy to witness Joey praising God with the gift He gave him and that Joey worked so hard to return in greater measure. I can hear the Father say "Well done, good and faithful servant." ❤

I met you in my dreams 2 days ago, dear Joey! You were smiling while playing! I miss you! Goodbye legend!

I don't believe I've ever seen ANYONE play ANY instrument with this level of command. It can only be described as absolute mastery combined with the greatest of passion. Thank you, sir, for all the wonderful music... 😔

Can't believe its already a year. Love your late husbands music. And still enjoy listing to it regular. Wishing you al the best from the Netherlands. Thank you for sharing this.

I play how great thou art every morning. Thanks for up loading. He lives on.🥰🤩😘👌✌💕

It's the third time I watch this video and every time I love it more.

_I'm a bit surprised to see that heaven has horizontal blinds and magnolia colored walls, but it looks like they've got pretty good organs_ 🙂: and man, it is *so good* to be seeing and hearing Joey. He's got the most wonderful vibe, always loved those blue and gospel notes, and this one is a *real* treat. Who's got more soul than Joey? - heck he had more soul in his shoulder when he lifted it than most top jazz virtuosos do in a whole set. No RIP for Joey D: no, he's as busy as ever keeping those angels groovin.

As a musician and classical music composer, and former church choir director, pianist and organist, I can feel Joey's spirit in his playing of this great hymn. In all my life, I have never heard another artist that was as gifted as Joey was on the Hammond organ. I wish I could have met him, and shared a meal and some conversation with him. Thank you for sharing this video Gloria, and I am so very sorry for your loss ... Peace and Love! 🎼❤☮

Joey will always be loved and missed. A master and legend who has gone way too soon❤

let me hear an Amen!

Oh Lord, my God When I, in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art And when I think that God, His Son not sparing Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow, in humble adoration And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art How great Thou art, how great Thou art

Gloria, thank you so much for this god sent video, Joey was beyond amazing and this video proves it, and his amazing smiles, especially at the end, this was so touching and the most soulful as only Joey can do 🙏🏽 I now will watch this every morning because it is so inspiring 💚 my condolences, I just found out of his passing, how difficult grief can be, but source never puts anything before us we can’t handle, I and hopefully we all know there is a reason for everything. We met long ago, it was 2005 or 2006? In St. Louis, mo, my boyfriend at the time, kevin Frazee had played with the amazing Houston person in Kansas City, MO and Houston loved Kevin’s playing on the drums and invited us to his performance with Joey in St. Louis. It was the best road trip in my life. Houston introduced us to you both, and honestly we were awww struck by all of you, we couldn’t talk much, we were dorks, in fact Kevin Frazee was very respectful of musicians and did not want to bother or talk to you much out of respect, especially on breaks. Kevin passed September 13, 2021 from Covid, it happened suddenly, and I have been in shock ever since, because he was my best friend and partner for over 16 years, he was younger than me, only 46, and the best drummer ever, hence why Houston loved him. God knows we all love and miss joey, and so many others we have lost in the jazz world like Duffy Jackson kevin frazee’s mentor and teacher, kevin mahogany was from Kc too and I just adore mahogany,m’a voice, Dr Lonnie smith, Everett Devan Kc organist, actually Everett introduced kevin Frazee and myself, we were both music students of Everette’s. I just wanted to send you a note letting you know how much you and joey mean to us lovers of organ soul music, I wish you abundance in all things you desire, health, love, and wellness in your journey. Grief has been extremely difficult for me in the last 2 years, but thank God, that kevin has many videos on KZread of his playing with Chris Hazelton, and ojt. Sending love to you sweet Gloria 🙏🏽💚🎹 angelica in Santa Cruz, ca 🌊🥁💚

Lord please bless us from above. What a beautiful music.

Muito bom glória a deud

Joey touched many hearts through his music. Rest in your Power. Gone to soon but never forgotten.

Praise God...this is just beautiful! Thank you so so much for sharing this!

The best of the best. Thank you Jesus for allowing me to hear this!

Beautiful rendition of this sacred hymn - thanks for sharing this and the memory of Joey DeFrancesco!

That man's trio with McLaughlin & Chambers is the jazz organ masterpiece of all time

I wish I could play 1/4 as good❤

all i can say is AMEN

I was very fortunate to hear him in concert at Birdland's a few years ago. I will always remember his communicative force and ability to draw the listener into his musical world. Since that moment, I've been in awe of his art and was deeply saddened by his untimely death last year.

Emotional… hearing the master of the B-3. His fantastic music will live on.

Rest in Peace my brother and thank you for sharing your gift with the world, we will meet again.

Such expressiveness and beautiful color. RIP Joey..

Miss you Joey

Impossible impossible how much talent this man had. No way. Never heard anything anywhere such play …. That organ remarkably sound. But the master ?? Just unreal

Absolutly beautiful. Playing for the angeles in heaven!

Just gorgeous. I miss him all the time!!!! Can't believe he's gone!!!

Thank you so much, Gloria, for sharing this wonderful hymn with us. God bless you!

An ability and expression like no other. He is surely missed.

Still reeling from the shock.

I know we all will never understand why Mr Joey Defrancesco had to leave us so soon but just remember, this was a quote told to me a long time ago(Never put a Question? Mark Where God Put's a Period. R.I.P.Joey!!

Brother you left us to soon, still cherish your music

Did you go to HUBBARD TRAIL?

¿Joey era cristiano? ¿Creía en Jesús?

Non sapevo della sua scomparsa … ci sono rimasto molto male , un’altro dei grandi che ci saluta , e purtroppo prematuramente … Grande Maestro ! ❤
