Bilal and The Roots Perform On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Easily the most exciting and eclectic of this week’s late-night performances, New York neo-soul singer Bilal joined the Roots and a massive orchestra for “It Ain’t Fair.” Needless to say, the sound is simply massive, moving from emotional, spacious soul to bombastic hip-hop in a second’s time.

Having just released a collection of Allen Toussaint songs to commemorate the late New Orleans songwriter, Trombone Shorty stopped by Colbert’s show for a funky performance of “Here Come The Girls.” With Batiste on piano, a dancing horn section and multiple guitars, the artist brings the fun of Bourbon Street to late night with this one.
Benjamin Booker performs “Right On You” on Conan
Benjamin Booker plays a soulful style of aggressive rock ‘n roll, making him an excellent live act. On Conan, his voice shines in true uniqueness, while his band keeps energy high. It’s a hard performance to watch and not love.
