Gregory Porter's brand new Music Video for "Be Good, (Lion's Song)" (the leading single from the album) has been a favorite at Porter's live shows for some time, and finally makes its much anticipated recording debut. Take a look.

Gregory Porter's BE GOOD debuted at #1 on the iTunes Jazz Album Chart in the US and UK! Get it here
BE GOOD got a 4 Star review from The Times (UK): "It's not often that a record turns up from a jazz label with chart hit so clearly inscribed upon it... the biggest stages beckon." Those stages are lining up in Europe and US as Gregory's star rises. See tour dates here
