T-Pain - On Top Of The Covers (Live From The Sun Rose). Classic songs, fresh arrangements, tight backing band, intimate venue, charming banter (some NSFW/triggering language), no autotune.
He has such a great voice—I remember hearing him non-autotuned a few years back on NPR and being blown away. Dude doesn't need autotune, so its kinda funny that he popularized it's overt use as a stylistic choice. Great personnel on this, but a special shout-out to guitarist Curt Chambers—particularly on point throughout.

On a bit of a whim, my wife and I sat down and watched this the other night. It's just so FUN.

The quote I've heard is "T-Pain didn't need Autotune, Autotune needed T-Pain."

I’ve got to add The Sun Rose to my LA bucket list. Here’s Bowie’s piano man Mike Garson playing Space Oddity at the Sun Rose with vocals by Mason Alexander Park who plays Delirium in the TV version of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman.

War Pigs comes in at 48:54, and its pretty great. What I really enjoyed Klink, in part because its just great to see folks really enjoying what they are doing.

@larrybob, Mason plays Desire, not Delirium. Delirium won't show up until season 2, and whose casting hasn't been announced yet.

Thanks for posting this! To quote the man himself: not gonna lie to you, this cool as fuck.
Here’s his Tiny Desk Concert.
And here are all his performances on The Masked Singer. (cw: Jenny McCarthy)

I liked T Pain before I heard his War Pigs cover. Now I will follow him into battle.

This was excellent! And I forwarded it to eldest daughter, who also appreciated the War Pigs cover.
