Você não faz ideia do quanto é importante para mim, do quanto suas músicas e sua voz me fazem bem , do quanto eu ouço você,e não é apenas sobre ouvir todos os dias ,é sobre a paz que me dá, sobre sonhos.
Não posso escrever tudo que tenho vontade , não daria o espaço, então obrigado por existir em minha vida !!!!!
I love you Gregory!!

( You have no idea how important it is to me, how much your music and your voice do me well, how well I hear you, and it’s not just about listening every day, it’s about the peace that you give me, about dreams.
I can’t write everything I want, I wouldn’t give the space, so thank you for existing in my life!!! I love you Gregory ! )
Hey Gregory! Both my mother and I fell in love with your music when we first heard “Shake You Down.” My Mom had a crush on you and because you sang so well my father couldn’t even be mad. Lol. I visit your website every once and awhile to hear your more recent music. Love it. Please keep it up. Love your sprit and the energy displayed here.
I have been entertained by your hit “Shake You Down”, for many years and had never associated your face with the song. I was motivated to do the research after listening on YouTube.
I am just a year younger than you, and I was pleased to see that your gifts of singing and acting caused things to work out well for you. God bless you brother. Pray all is well, thank you.
Hello MR. Abbott, your song shake you down is a classic. As an aspiring lyricist how do you get your material to an artist . May you continue to make good music.
I am sorry I did not get with you back today n the 80s but as you were getting well known with your music I had a no choice job of traveling so I missed your music until 4 months ago but I want to tell you that I Love Your music. I am trying to buy all your music but finding it hard since no one will sell me anything. I did buy one cd and will keep looking fir the others.
Thanks for your music!!!!!
Dropping you another note to you Lanny, as my people wanted me to suggest to you going to Bandcamp. Here’s the link: https://gregoryabbott.bandcamp.com/music
Bandcamp is a site that is very supportive of artists, so many of us love working with them.
Hi Gregory,
Well… I am blown away as I’ve just heard your music (Shake You Down) on Smoothradio (UK). I had heard it before but didn’t know it was you. (where the heck have I been!!!!) and have only just found you!
I felt the groove baby and soul brother. Beautiful. Thank you.
Happy Easter, Gregory! May this day be a blessing to you and your family. Be encouraged, and God bless you, my dear friend and mentor.
Thank you for being my inspiration. My best regards to you and your family. Happy belated birthday also.
Happy birthday to you, Gregory! Be blessed and encouraged during this difficult time. Have you gotten the COVID-19 vaccine yet? If you haven’t done it, please do.
You will always stay very precious to me. The one who makes me smile every day, because you’re really everywhere….. on my walls at home and in my office at work, on my phone, clothes, mugs, bags, and even in my bed (LOL 🙈) on my cushions. I will always keep on LOVING everything about you ❤️🤎🥇🙏🏾
Just wanted to drop a quick note to thank you for all of your beautiful music you have provided over the years. I have been a DJ since 1981 in the Baton Rouge, LA market. I am also a friend of your pal Mr. Alvin Mack back in the school days!
My son Patrick has taken over the business and we continue to play your songs at each event. “Shake you Down” is always a hit during my weddings. I’ve played over 2,000 events and now I fill in on some weekends when he is doubled booked.
As a professional DJ, your music has helped me pay for LSU and get a four year degree through my DJ gigs and you are my favorite channel these days on Pandora. My wife and I relax by the pool and drink a glass of wine to your station very often!
I hope that you tour soon so I have a chance to meet you and thank you for what you and other artists like yourselves has done for us out here pounding the wedding scenes for years.
I have a wall of fame where I have had a chance to get an autograph from great artists like you where I invite our clients to meet. If possible, can I send you something to sign for my office? I can paypal or provide an address if needed.
I wish I could send a picture of my office. You would be amazed! Percy Sledge, Jerry Reed, George Winston, Michael Bolton, 38 Special, ZZ Top, Carol King, Harry Connick,, Pam Tillis, Christopher Cross are just a few to name.
Mike,
Apologies for the delay…

Enjoying my newest treasures from your shop….. the items were top-quality from the beginning and the prints are also excellent.
I LOVE my GA-world, filled with your merch, signed pictures and music. 🎵 🎶
Praying for your wellbeing every day, that God and His Universe will keep on guiding you and protecting you from all evil and sickness, so I and everyone else who hold you dear will be able to enjoy everything about you for a lot more years to come…… I wish it was possible to say ‘for eternity’. 🙏🏾❤️🤎🥇
Dear Gregory, are you all right, my friend? I really hope you are safe and well during this crisis. Just about every state, including mine, is now on lockdown. This is a very serious situation.
In my county alone, there have been 55 deaths, and 1, 055 cases. I live in Youngstown Ohio, and we have been hit hard with this. Very hard.
I know California has been hit harder.
But I pray that you are all right. Happy almost birthday, by the way.
I’m a grandma three times over! My newest granddaughter was born this morning at 9:50am Eastern Daylight time.
She weighed 5lbs, 15oz, and was 18″ long.
Her name is Jour’Nee Nichelle Baineses.
Oh, she is an angel, Gregory.
Other than that, how are you and the family today? Is everyone okay?
Gregory we appreciate your art and your contributions to the music world. Your music will last forever. Whenever I was on a date, I played your tunes and with a glass of wine made the evening enjoyable. Keep singing my brother and stay well.
Hi Gregory. I discovered you in the 80’s. I fell in love then and that love is even stronger today.
Your music has been with me through good times,bad times and I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t access your music. Everything you do is beautiful.
Thank you for your perseverance. God bless you and your family always.
Wow, I used to love your music. Hadn’t heard it in awhile until tonight at a family gathering… someone said to me you used to love his music, I sure did. When I got home I looked up some of your songs on youtube, it’s been nice hearing it again. Much love.
I was not able to listen to your new song (“My Heart……………..”) until tonight. I moved recently and my brother thought he would trade out my computer for a “better” one he had from work. It would not work with websites from the workplace from which I retired. He returned my computer but not my speakers, until tonight. The love of my life and I disagree on our favorite song 😄 “My Heart” is nice, but “Crazy Over You” just gives me the all overs. I have been missing it. I guess having choices is what makes the world go around. I continue to love your work.
I have followed your career ever since you shook me down in 1986. I am really feeling this new single, mainly because my heart is looking for a home. Thank you for sharing your gift…
Hi Gregory,
I found your music videos on UT.
They bring me back to wonderful and very special good old times….
Congratulations for 44 million clicks on UT 🎶💖👍
Thank you for the music 💐
Monika from 😊🇩🇪
Love your music! I hope you plan to perform here in Philly in the near future.
Just thought you’d want to know that there’s a typo on your home page. The Father’s Day greeting goes out to “fella’s.” I’m sure as a Berkeley grad you know that
the apostrophe shouldn’t be there. 🙂
My name is Anna Z. I live in Dallas, Texas and I have been listening to your music. I love hearing you at night. You play and sing with great intelligence!… 🙆🏻♀️
I bet your wife loves bet of you 🤦🏻♀️
Sorry I should have asked if you are you married or in a relationship first 🤷🏻♀️
You’re a very handsome man anyone would want depends on their character right?
I want to know when you are coming to Dallas to tour and play your music at the American Airlines? Hopefully I can get to meet you one day if God is willing.
I can’t wait until next month to learn the title of your new release. What day is it scheduled to drop? There are 31 days in August. I have no patience. I hope it is the song I suggested you record. Just tell me, I won’t tell anyone else.
A couple of months ago I was searching you tube and found some songs you recorded (probably later than “Shake You Down”) because they had not been viewed/played as often. It is amazing what you can find when you really aren’t looking for it. I have not been able to find them again. However, I did find a few songs the love of my life recorded. Unfortunately, they were recorded a long time ago and did not include videos. I think the last thing my friend recorded would have been a hit but he died in a car accident about a week after he recorded it. That song is not on you tube, but I did find it for sale on an online site and bought it years ago.
Hi, Greg
Strangest thing happened to me……I found you/your site…your song. I was transported literally back to the best days of my life the ‘real’ days of living, laughing, loving and dancing. Looking forward to the weekends, walking home after dancing at the disco, I am talking about the islands; no worries but what you are going to eat for breakfast, when you wake up, probably, around 1pm..ha, ha. What, I am trying to say is thanks, for letting me have confirm proof that it was all real.
You are most welcome. Thanks for writing in. Its true… music 🎶 definitely has the ability to transport us back in time.
Blessings
Gregory
PS Regarding your other comment on website toolbox. My staff says they are looking into the unsecured question. We want to keep everyone safe… so if they don’t update soon we may close it. Folks can always safely write in here however.
hi my name is Tasha I’m from Gulfport Mississippi and I wanted to know if you have any kids and are you married. You’ve always been a crush since I was a little girl you’re a very nice looking man.
I’m a grandma again, Gregory! My daughter had a beautiful baby boy on May 1. He weighed 5lbs. 5.6oz and was 20″ long.
His name is J’Osiah Izaya Riley.
Oh, he is a precious angel.
As you know, we have a new amphitheatre here in Youngstown, Ohio. We would love to have you come to our fair, but small, city to perform there one summer.
Happy Birthday GJA. Welcome to Medicare. To celebrate, I bought a box of Ester Price Chocolate, milk and dark covered. I’m trying to pace myself this time. I have already eaten the piece marked for 3pm tomorrow. Next time I am going to see if the store will hold it behind the counter for me then I will walk there every time I want a piece. (I have no will power.)
I love your voice and music, but I cannot get past “Shake You Down”. I listen to different versions on You Tube If I had it on an old time record, tape, etc. I would have replace it because it would be worn out, Nothing compares. It will stay fresh for eternity.
I’m starting to get attached to “I’ve Got a Feeling It’s Over” and “I’ll Prove it to You”. I also noticed you recorded some songs originally sung by some other artists. Have you ever thought about recording “I’ll Remember You”? This was recorded by Don Ho and Elvis. I would like to hear it done by you. That song just really touches my heart.
Hello Gregory, I heard your song today “shake you down” itunes and downloaded the throwback also ahead of your time. It sounds as if you released the song today. Another one of my favs ON ON! When are you coming to DC/DMV and perform your majic? Miss U and love your pics and quotes. Btw you look amazing! May God keep blessing you and your family!
Hi Mr. Abbott, you are an amazing talent, your music is soothing to the soul. I am so impressed by your talent. About a month ago I was walking through a beauty retail store and I heard your music playing on the radio. I had to stop and listen. You have a God-given gift, an amazing voice. Looking forward to more…Blessings!
Mr. Abbott, I was listening to YouTube, mostly Motown. Despite the music you chose, YouTube likes to give one a mixture–so there I was listening of a list of music and I kept hearing you and I thought to myself, who is this guy, he’s incredibly handsome and boy can he sing. Now, I thought I had a good handle on all male singers, and I went to high school in Windsor, across from Detroit and listened faithfully to American Bandstand back in the day. I’ve got a good ear and so I decided to look you up, quite confident that you
were either dead, old and fat. Imagine my surprise when I read your impressive bio: good schools, good guy and living in NYC (what could be better?).
So, of course, I’ve heard of your sister, Diane. She is beautiful and so tall as I recall. You sound like a really good person and I’m glad you’ve had a productive, happy life and that you’re spiritual and wealthy to boot!
I love your music and I am one of your biggest fans. Are you currently touring? I hope you are since I haven’t had the pleasure of attending any of your concerts.
I consider it a Privilege to comment on your Guestbook with so many Lovely and Beautiful Song to Listen to.. You just keep making The Best Music. No need to say more, your Music says it All.
You just keep those Hit Songs Coming. I was told nothing gets Old but Clothes. I Believe It. Your Voice and Style of Singing has Not Changed. ALL COMPLIMENTS to YOU, Gregory for all of the Outstanding Songs and Music you continue to make. Love Every Song. You Always Keep It Real 110%.
It was a pleasure to spot your video Shake you down on facebook I remember playing your music over and over back in the day, I always wondered what you were doing and where you were, I thought you had the most beautiful smoothest voice and still do. Your new music is awesome, you can sing to me anytime handsome. Much success and endeavors for your future.
There will never be another who can sing the way that you do. Your diversity is off the charts. To be able to sing in so many ways is Phenomenal. You have broken all barriers in the musical field. As far as i am concerned, you are the Greastest. Much praise and thanks to you and yours.
Beautiful music! Nice to watch videos!
Now we wish to see you live in Johannesburg, South Africa! Once you are in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban will be dying to see you also, so can’t leave them out! Any chance that your South African fans will ever see you live? That will be an honor for us that we will never forget ! Fingers crossed!
I also left you same message on your Facebook Page…
well for the first time i looked at your bio. how wonderful to have loved your music always and to find out you are this amazing man. As i sit here i am listening to your music on a rainy Saturday morning in Vancouver, Canada. Thinking how wonderful it is to have your music on such a day..
I am from Guyana and am so Proud of you. You have never strayed (that i know of) from the elegant being i loved..
Thank you for your music and all of your accomplishments…
Happy New Year, Gregory, and thank you for the Thanksgiving wishes. Belated Merry Christmas to you also. I hope one day to meet you, if I ever make it to California.
On my way to S.F., my daughters (at the time 4 and 10 years old ) and I were discussing one our bucket lists and that was to one day meet Gregory Abbott. Like a dream come true as we were strolling down the museum …..my daughters tapped me speechless as we look and saw you.
Thank you for your time and kindness, most importantly …for making our day….we will treasure the pic of you and my little girls. My little ones sing to your tunes to this day…….
Your music has inspired us in many ways. Again… just wanted to say thank you for your continued hard work and for sharing your love of music with the world. Crossing my fingers to see you in concert soon.
Best wishes to you this Christmas season!!!!
Soon it will be Christmas, and then we will cross over into 2017. My greatest wish for you, Gregory, is that you have a very Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year. May God continue to be with you in all your endeavors, and on this journey we call life.
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is when I have family and friends to share it with. You see, it falls on the day my dad passed away, so it’s sort of a sad time as well. But I really hope you have a blessed holiday season.
Do you want to hear my wish? It’s for a peaceful world, without war or hatred. Everyone would love each other, not fight. Besides that, how are you? Hope all is well. You are, and always have been, my favorite singer. Blessings and love to you , my friend.
Well, autumn is here. How are you? Hope all is well with you. As for me, I’m doing all right. In just three weeks, I’ll be 46. This year has flown by so quickly! It’s amazing. But, blessings and love to you always, dear Gregory.
Hi Gregory, hope you’re feeling fine and doing well. My name is Alice I’m from Charleston, SC. just a small note to let you know that your latest hit is a bomb, I’m so excited about you song ,all of them as a matter of fact is a hit to me. your songs play all the time on the R & B stations here in Charleston. You Mr. Abbott are my favorite soul singer all of my life. I especially love shake you down and plays it continuously. It would be great if you were able to give a concert here in Charleston, SC, a good time would be during our
MOJA ART FESTIVALS” which is between the months of September and October. We would love for you to perform at these influential, worthy festivals if at all possible, because I count you!!! as the most worthiest artist to perform. love you much
thanks!
Thanks for writing in Alice. And thank you for supporting my new single “When Something Is Wrong With My Baby”. I love doing the old classics… I am working on my new release and so far it’s looking to be a combination of RnB and what I call Caribbean Soul…. but I am not in charge… that comes from up above… we will see what happens. Best to you. Gregory
Hi Gregory Abbott
How are you doing? My name is Issac from Greensboro NC! and your music is one my favorites. Also wanted to know if you would like to come to Greensboro NC to see us perform!
We are Seaquest Oscorp a six member group! So please do come see us!
Maybe you can work with another singing group called Faces Union! They’re 5 girls who sing/dance. Maybe you can even perform a couple of songs!
Please do! Best.
— Issac Banks
How are you. I really like your music. I sent you a birthday song. I hope that you liked it too. Guys don’t look like you in music, anymore. So glad that you are still on the set.
Hello, my name is Jada!!!!! I have always loved your music and it has been a big inspiration to me. I love to sing on my free time and I love singing your songs. Your songs are truly universal and can be played anytime. I hope you are doing well and that you know that your songs are always loved and appreciated!!!!!! Your songs are timeless!!!!!They don’t make music this good anymore.
I am deeply sorry for your loss, and I am praying for healing, comfort, and peace for you. Other than that, how have you been doing? Hoping you are doing very well. As for me, I am doing okay, I guess. It’s a beautiful day here in Ohio today, but a bit chilly. How is the weather there?
Happy New Year to you and your crew, from the SF Bay Area!
Thanks for all the great music… still remember hearing Shake You Down for the first time as a little kid, and still haven’t forgotten it! Hope to catch you in concert sometime soon…
Hi!
Me and my brother love Your music. We have done that for a very long time.

October 17, 2020 @ 4:39 PM
Happy belated birthday my dear.
🙏🏽

I was not able to listen to your new song (“My Heart……………..”) until tonight. I moved recently and my brother thought he would trade out my computer for a “better” one he had from work. It would not work with websites from the workplace from which I retired. He returned my computer but not my speakers, until tonight. The love of my life and I disagree on our favorite song 😄 “My Heart” is nice, but “Crazy Over You” just gives me the all overs. I have been missing it. I guess having choices is what makes the world go around. I continue to love your work.
September 28, 2019 @ 12:49 PM
Yes indeed.
September 4, 2019 @ 7:49 AM
I have followed your career ever since you shook me down in 1986. I am really feeling this new single, mainly because my heart is looking for a home. Thank you for sharing your gift…
September 28, 2019 @ 12:50 PM
You are most welcome. Thank YOU.
October 2, 2019 @ 1:16 PM
Hi Gregory,
I found your music videos on UT.
They bring me back to wonderful and very special good old times….
Congratulations for 44 million clicks on UT 🎶💖👍
Thank you for the music 💐

Thank you Monika…

You are the greatest

August 4, 2019 @ 3:44 AM
Love your music! I hope you plan to perform here in Philly in the near future.
Just thought you’d want to know that there’s a typo on your home page. The Father’s Day greeting goes out to “fella’s.” I’m sure as a Berkeley grad you know that
the apostrophe shouldn’t be there. 🙂
August 4, 2019 @ 9:17 AM
Thank you for writing in Shelly. I will post in “what’s new” when (and where) I will be performing.
Apparently my staff is not familiar with proper punctuation all the time 😃 I’ll try and have them make the correction.
January 12, 2020 @ 7:49 AM
Hello,
My name is Anna Z. I live in Dallas, Texas and I have been listening to your music. I love hearing you at night. You play and sing with great intelligence!… 🙆🏻♀️
I bet your wife loves bet of you 🤦🏻♀️
Sorry I should have asked if you are you married or in a relationship first 🤷🏻♀️
You’re a very handsome man anyone would want depends on their character right?
I want to know when you are coming to Dallas to tour and play your music at the American Airlines? Hopefully I can get to meet you one day if God is willing.
You have a blessed one today Gregory Abbott.
July 30, 2019 @ 4:04 PM
I can’t wait until next month to learn the title of your new release. What day is it scheduled to drop? There are 31 days in August. I have no patience. I hope it is the song I suggested you record. Just tell me, I won’t tell anyone else.
A couple of months ago I was searching you tube and found some songs you recorded (probably later than “Shake You Down”) because they had not been viewed/played as often. It is amazing what you can find when you really aren’t looking for it. I have not been able to find them again. However, I did find a few songs the love of my life recorded. Unfortunately, they were recorded a long time ago and did not include videos. I think the last thing my friend recorded would have been a hit but he died in a car accident about a week after he recorded it. That song is not on you tube, but I did find it for sale on an online site and bought it years ago.
June 3, 2019 @ 10:02 AM
Hi, Greg
Strangest thing happened to me……I found you/your site…your song. I was transported literally back to the best days of my life the ‘real’ days of living, laughing, loving and dancing. Looking forward to the weekends, walking home after dancing at the disco, I am talking about the islands; no worries but what you are going to eat for breakfast, when you wake up, probably, around 1pm..ha, ha. What, I am trying to say is thanks, for letting me have confirm proof that it was all real.
June 4, 2019 @ 3:39 PM
You are most welcome. Thanks for writing in. Its true… music 🎶 definitely has the ability to transport us back in time.
Blessings
Gregory

hi my name is Tasha I’m from Gulfport Mississippi and I wanted to know if you have any kids and are you married. You’ve always been a crush since I was a little girl you’re a very nice looking man.
May 6, 2019 @ 2:27 PM
I’m a grandma again, Gregory! My daughter had a beautiful baby boy on May 1. He weighed 5lbs. 5.6oz and was 20″ long.
His name is J’Osiah Izaya Riley.
Oh, he is a precious angel.
May 8, 2019 @ 1:34 PM
A hearty congratulations to you and your family.
July 5, 2019 @ 8:00 AM
As you know, we have a new amphitheatre here in Youngstown, Ohio. We would love to have you come to our fair, but small, city to perform there one summer.
September 5, 2019 @ 10:37 AM
Hi Mr Abbott, This is Stuart from u.k. Just got ‘shake you down’ on… what a thrill… great video… You are up there with the best x
April 12, 2019 @ 3:15 PM
You are like the “Pied Piper of Soul”, luring all the ladies to California.
April 2, 2019 @ 1:22 PM
Happy Birthday GJA. Welcome to Medicare. To celebrate, I bought a box of Ester Price Chocolate, milk and dark covered. I’m trying to pace myself this time. I have already eaten the piece marked for 3pm tomorrow. Next time I am going to see if the store will hold it behind the counter for me then I will walk there every time I want a piece. (I have no will power.)
Celebrate tonight.
Betty

😆 Thank you….
blessings to you
April 2, 2019 @ 5:39 AM
Happy, happy birthday to you, Gregory!!! I hope you have a terrific day today!
January 5, 2019 @ 1:57 PM
I love your voice and music, but I cannot get past “Shake You Down”. I listen to different versions on You Tube If I had it on an old time record, tape, etc. I would have replace it because it would be worn out, Nothing compares. It will stay fresh for eternity.
January 17, 2019 @ 8:11 PM
TY 🙏🏼
February 11, 2019 @ 6:31 PM
I’m starting to get attached to “I’ve Got a Feeling It’s Over” and “I’ll Prove it to You”. I also noticed you recorded some songs originally sung by some other artists. Have you ever thought about recording “I’ll Remember You”? This was recorded by Don Ho and Elvis. I would like to hear it done by you. That song just really touches my heart.
You have had an interesting life.
February 13, 2019 @ 6:32 PM
Thank you for writing in. “I’ll remember you”… that is not a bad idea! 🙏🏼
November 15, 2018 @ 5:26 AM
You have great Voice! 🙂
March 20, 2019 @ 11:57 AM
I always love your music and i had a crush on you when i was young
November 6, 2018 @ 3:33 PM
Hello Gregory, I heard your song today “shake you down” itunes and downloaded the throwback also ahead of your time. It sounds as if you released the song today. Another one of my favs ON ON! When are you coming to DC/DMV and perform your majic? Miss U and love your pics and quotes. Btw you look amazing! May God keep blessing you and your family!
November 9, 2018 @ 12:14 PM
Thanks so much for the support! Blessings to you and yours as well.
September 28, 2018 @ 5:21 AM
GM Gregory ☕☕
In My Sweet Southern AlaGA Voice, How Are You . . . .
My name is Jacqueline, and I was curious about your soulful voice and your background. Thus, I am here reading your biography. 🍑
October 18, 2018 @ 3:15 PM
Welcome!
April 5, 2019 @ 11:27 PM
Hi Mr. Abbott, you are an amazing talent, your music is soothing to the soul. I am so impressed by your talent. About a month ago I was walking through a beauty retail store and I heard your music playing on the radio. I had to stop and listen. You have a God-given gift, an amazing voice. Looking forward to more…Blessings!
April 8, 2019 @ 10:27 AM
Thanks for much for your kind words….. Always inspiring to hear.
Blessings. Gregory
April 10, 2019 @ 10:10 AM
You’re most welcome Gregory…😉
September 22, 2018 @ 2:00 AM
I love you! Literally speaking.
May 16, 2018 @ 7:49 AM
Gregory, I’m a new grandmother! My granddaughter was born this morning. She is precious. But other than that, I’m doing great.
May 17, 2018 @ 10:02 AM
Congratulations! The very best to you and your family.
May 17, 2018 @ 2:36 PM
Thank you. I wish I could send you a picture of my grandbaby.
October 16, 2018 @ 3:40 PM
Mr. Abbott, I was listening to YouTube, mostly Motown. Despite the music you chose, YouTube likes to give one a mixture–so there I was listening of a list of music and I kept hearing you and I thought to myself, who is this guy, he’s incredibly handsome and boy can he sing. Now, I thought I had a good handle on all male singers, and I went to high school in Windsor, across from Detroit and listened faithfully to American Bandstand back in the day. I’ve got a good ear and so I decided to look you up, quite confident that you
were either dead, old and fat. Imagine my surprise when I read your impressive bio: good schools, good guy and living in NYC (what could be better?).
So, of course, I’ve heard of your sister, Diane. She is beautiful and so tall as I recall. You sound like a really good person and I’m glad you’ve had a productive, happy life and that you’re spiritual and wealthy to boot!
October 18, 2018 @ 3:19 PM
Great post. I am ever grateful to my fans for they are the ones who have allowed me to live my dreams.
Blessing to you Margaret.
November 27, 2017 @ 10:11 PM
I love your music and I am one of your biggest fans. Are you currently touring? I hope you are since I haven’t had the pleasure of attending any of your concerts.
November 3, 2017 @ 7:50 PM
I consider it a Privilege to comment on your Guestbook with so many Lovely and Beautiful Song to Listen to.. You just keep making The Best Music. No need to say more, your Music says it All.
October 22, 2017 @ 7:14 PM
You just keep those Hit Songs Coming. I was told nothing gets Old but Clothes. I Believe It. Your Voice and Style of Singing has Not Changed. ALL COMPLIMENTS to YOU, Gregory for all of the Outstanding Songs and Music you continue to make. Love Every Song. You Always Keep It Real 110%.
October 7, 2017 @ 3:42 AM
It was a pleasure to spot your video Shake you down on facebook I remember playing your music over and over back in the day, I always wondered what you were doing and where you were, I thought you had the most beautiful smoothest voice and still do. Your new music is awesome, you can sing to me anytime handsome. Much success and endeavors for your future.
July 8, 2017 @ 5:22 PM
There will never be another who can sing the way that you do. Your diversity is off the charts. To be able to sing in so many ways is Phenomenal. You have broken all barriers in the musical field. As far as i am concerned, you are the Greastest. Much praise and thanks to you and yours.
May 19, 2017 @ 10:18 AM
I love your new songs, For Come Ya, Namaste, and Just Say Om. Those are powerful, but moving, songs. Keep up the good work, Gregory!
May 3, 2017 @ 11:14 PM
It’s so good to discover you …. AGAIN (I’m reordering all of your albums).
May 7, 2017 @ 7:17 PM
Thank you. Many Blessings.
March 19, 2017 @ 1:45 AM
Beautiful music! Nice to watch videos!
Now we wish to see you live in Johannesburg, South Africa! Once you are in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban will be dying to see you also, so can’t leave them out! Any chance that your South African fans will ever see you live? That will be an honor for us that we will never forget ! Fingers crossed!
I also left you same message on your Facebook Page…
March 11, 2017 @ 12:21 PM
well for the first time i looked at your bio. how wonderful to have loved your music always and to find out you are this amazing man. As i sit here i am listening to your music on a rainy Saturday morning in Vancouver, Canada. Thinking how wonderful it is to have your music on such a day..
I am from Guyana and am so Proud of you. You have never strayed (that i know of) from the elegant being i loved..
Thank you for your music and all of your accomplishments…
March 18, 2017 @ 7:02 PM

December 23, 2016 @ 5:52 PM
Hi Gregory,
On my way to S.F., my daughters (at the time 4 and 10 years old ) and I were discussing one our bucket lists and that was to one day meet Gregory Abbott. Like a dream come true as we were strolling down the museum …..my daughters tapped me speechless as we look and saw you.
Thank you for your time and kindness, most importantly …for making our day….we will treasure the pic of you and my little girls. My little ones sing to your tunes to this day…….
Your music has inspired us in many ways. Again… just wanted to say thank you for your continued hard work and for sharing your love of music with the world. Crossing my fingers to see you in concert soon.
Best wishes to you this Christmas season!!!!
December 30, 2016 @ 12:57 PM
Hey I remember you guys…. thank you so much for your support. A very Happy New Year to you and your family.
December 7, 2016 @ 1:45 PM
Soon it will be Christmas, and then we will cross over into 2017. My greatest wish for you, Gregory, is that you have a very Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year. May God continue to be with you in all your endeavors, and on this journey we call life.
November 21, 2016 @ 2:48 PM
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is when I have family and friends to share it with. You see, it falls on the day my dad passed away, so it’s sort of a sad time as well. But I really hope you have a blessed holiday season.
November 28, 2016 @ 5:34 PM
A bit melancholy too….totally understand that. Thanks for sharing…
December 31, 2016 @ 9:26 AM
I know I already wished you a Happy New Year, but here it is again. I’m on WhatsApp.
November 13, 2016 @ 5:45 AM
Do you want to hear my wish? It’s for a peaceful world, without war or hatred. Everyone would love each other, not fight. Besides that, how are you? Hope all is well. You are, and always have been, my favorite singer. Blessings and love to you , my friend.
October 1, 2016 @ 9:12 AM
Well, autumn is here. How are you? Hope all is well with you. As for me, I’m doing all right. In just three weeks, I’ll be 46. This year has flown by so quickly! It’s amazing. But, blessings and love to you always, dear Gregory.
July 28, 2016 @ 4:36 PM
Hi Gregory, hope you’re feeling fine and doing well. My name is Alice I’m from Charleston, SC. just a small note to let you know that your latest hit is a bomb, I’m so excited about you song ,all of them as a matter of fact is a hit to me. your songs play all the time on the R & B stations here in Charleston. You Mr. Abbott are my favorite soul singer all of my life. I especially love shake you down and plays it continuously. It would be great if you were able to give a concert here in Charleston, SC, a good time would be during our
MOJA ART FESTIVALS” which is between the months of September and October. We would love for you to perform at these influential, worthy festivals if at all possible, because I count you!!! as the most worthiest artist to perform. love you much
thanks!
October 28, 2016 @ 5:15 PM
Thanks for writing in Alice. And thank you for supporting my new single “When Something Is Wrong With My Baby”. I love doing the old classics… I am working on my new release and so far it’s looking to be a combination of RnB and what I call Caribbean Soul…. but I am not in charge… that comes from up above… we will see what happens. Best to you. Gregory
July 21, 2016 @ 2:14 PM

Awesome comment…. can I hire you?! LOL
Thank you.
December 31, 2015 @ 10:25 PM

Happy belated birthday to you. I hope you had a blessed day. Anyway, it has been awhile since I have visited. I am currently a massage therapist, and I have been told that I am gifted. I just wanted to say hello.
