David Porter is having a moment. Make that a well-deserved moment.

From his new memoir THE SOUL MAN, to his spotlight on Track Star*, to his take on “Help” from STAX DOES THE BEATLES, David Porter is getting some well-earned flowers right now.

And that feels right.

This is a man who helped write the Stax story from the inside. Songwriter, producer, vocalist, the complete package.

Join us in the comments as we celebrate the man.

Part 5. ALMOST 50…

I was almost 50 before I found the love my parents had for 55 years. And I almost gave up right before I did. 🤎
⠀
This is the night I understood why. Watch to the end.

Tag someone who needs to hear: don’t give up. 👇🏾

Part 4. THE MONEY SHOT…

Would you have jumped in and asked, or stayed put? 👇🏾
⠀
More people have been to outer space than have ever won the award that got us in that room. 🚀
⠀
@davidporter_official should have been on that step and repeat, but he said he doesn’t really need photos. So here’s how I got MY photo with Taylor Swift.
⠀
New here? Parts 1, 2, and 3 are on my page. Start from the beginning. 👀

They couldn’t destroy the music.

After book signings in Memphis, Los Angeles, and here in New York City with @thepaulshaffer, I’m bringing the story back home.

Part 1. THE NEAR MISS…

Between Taylor Swift’s stardust and what happened next, I don’t think I’ll ever be the same. But not for the reason you’d think. 🤎

This is only Day One. I’m taking you to New York all week. Stay with me. 👇🏾

What’s the smallest thing that almost cost you something big?

When you know what one has accomplished in the most trying of times, the truth is even more profound! Stevie changed the world through his music!! For him to be at my LA book signing makes words inadequate. Please always give honor where honor is due.❤️💥 by @davidporter_official

My gift with intent was to have double meaning to my songwriting. Motivating was always the back goal of every song. Our people needed it!! This song is the magic in that goal delivered by my favorite artist RANCE Allen. My heart was in this song💥❤️ by @davidporter_official
