Soul and jazz singer Gregory Porter explores the transcendent power of the popular singing voice in this joyous new series, celebrating everyone from Prince to Whitney, Caruso to Freddie Mercury (if Caruso was an opera singer as big as a rock star, Mercury was an opera singer who fronted a rock band). Includes the wonderful aside from the latter: “I’ll always walk around like a Persian popinjay – and no one’s going to stop me, honey.”
