Happy birthday to Gregory Porter, born on this day in 1971!
A soul-jazz vocal titan from Sacramento, California, he discovered his rich baritone in Bakersfield’s church choirs, blending gospel fire with jazz storytelling while studying theater at San Diego State.
His Grammy-winning albums like Liquid Spirit (2013) and Take Me to the Alley (2016) fuse heartfelt lyrics with lush arrangements, earning multiple Grammys and inspiring a global revival of classic vocal jazz with modern depth.
THIS ALMOST BROKE ME DOWN TO TEARS 😢🙏🏾🫂
"My Daddy passed away a year ago, and when I hear your songs it makes me feel so better 🖤"

Here’s our profile on Judge @Frankcaprio_. I’ve never gotten more requests from viewers for a story on anyone, than I have for one on Judge Caprio. Today, he’s in south Florida to see doctors who are treating him for pancreatic cancer. Please join me in wishing/praying/hoping that the news is good for this merciful man. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this profile of the 87 year old retired judge from Providence, Rhode Island, who is beloved for his compassion from the bench. @CBSMornings
