Great stuff! 💜🐾

I love when he says, "It's really not that difficult." That's from HIS perspective, remember. I bet Charlie Parker didn't find it too difficult either. After getting humiliated onstage by a fed up drummer for not being good enough, that is. He in turn mastered the alto and changed music forever, so, for some, apparently, all it takes is getting to know the instrument through hours of practice and the rest comes naturally. All I'm saying is that there are countless people who can't even commit to an instrument to practice for hours on end over a period of years. For them it's difficult for sure. I'm in that group, by the way.

I saw this one -a reconstituted WAR. AWB jammed!!!! the O'Jay's had Nate Best up there i think-he didn't last long. the Ohio Players could have been the Back album era i don't know Billy Beck was with them on the Back album. with horns. Teena Marie Was cool. Maze was good. EWF without Maurice was okay.

What a great interview and beautiful person; all to discover she's married to Will Downing, it just blew my mind. He's one of my favorite artists. My wife loves "I Go Crazy"

That's crazy to think about but Prince's musical output was so tremendous he had to form other bands around him to hand it off to. Unfortunately, their level of vocal talent wasn't even close to his so they didn't do it much justice, but I imagine he was satisfied with their performances. To be so good at so many instruments it's interesting how he was also so difficult to beat when it came to basketball, ping pong and bowling. His ability to improve at something was so incredible he didn't need as much time as the rest of us, apparently. That's just a phenomenal level of focus, coordination, dexterity and timing. Has there been anyone else born like that in history? I'm surprised he didn't get better at dancing than Michael Jackson. Jackson was determined to be the best ever at it so that was that, I guess. People would rather LOOK at something fascinating than listen to something fascinating, so Michael had more attention during their careers. The tide is turning now though now that they're both gone and Prince's music is drawing more attention than what Michael recorded. I suspect Prince's musical legacy will continue to have a greater impact than Michael's going forward.

I keep coming back to this fascinating interview because it's so full of great stories that touch on so many musical icons and puts lots of interesting things into perspective. I learn so much listening. From Aretha Franklin to Ray Charles to James Brown and more!! Incredible interview!! Information gold mine!!

Thelonious Monk's name should have been over Herbie Mann at that club. No one realized how exquisite and special Monk's music and approach to playing and composing was at that point, apparently. Eric Dolphy's name could've been above it too, if you just listen and compare what the two of them were doing, but Monk was definitely more significant than both of them.

Those musicians that recorded with Miles and left the sessions thinking it was 'horse shit' probably only later praised it just to help it sell. After hearing a lot of his later work with guys like Marcus Miller and all I almost threw up. His best work was probably with his two legendary quintets. Miles Smiles, for example, is much better than In A Silent Way or Bitches Brew. Hiring guys like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Tony Williams was genius. Of course his work with John Coltrane is also genius. Miles Davis and John Coltrane records are the standard for great jazz. Thelonious Monk records too.

It's amazing how many great artists Paulette intersected and supported during her lengthy career. What a stellar lineup! Born out of Chicago, one of the great cities of American Music!

Happy b-day, Uncle George!

'If You Don't Believe' from "This is Niecy" by, Deniece Williams, has the most wonderful trombone solo played by, George Bohanon. The fact that George Massenburg had been a trombone player made a difference to the mix. A gorgeous song and performance.

Isnt she a lesbian?

This is an awesome find! Thank you for always grabbing great musicians! You're doing an awesome job!

Only three surviving members are still alive at the height of the successful years, are Billy Beck, James "Diamond"Williams and Marvin Pierce! I'm really enjoying this interview, good to see 25:52 Marvin!

I want Jill to be asked directly her thoughts on… SHEILA E. 😮😂 lol

Brother, your voice and questions are very important. I’ll be sharing with family and friends! Excellent start.

A damn shame. Travesty. These girls defined the PF vocal sound of the peak commercial period. No way they shouldn't be in the Rock Hall. Thanks for the she-funk y'all.

I just witnessed the lies that Michael just spit. My name is James Maddox Jr. Lead singer and percussionist of The ADC BAND! IM ON ALL THE ADC BANDS ALBUMS! IM NOT DIE NIGGA!

Little late to this interview, Tawatha is a truly class act both in music and personality, loved listening to her, very humble, wonderful human being. Currently got Tawatha on replay with Gary Bartz, keep goin on, sublime vocals. Luv 4rom UK

Wow this is so cool. I worked with Neftali at a music store in the late 80’s for a short time. I had fun there but it was a grind to make money. Neftalis voice and temperament hasn’t changed one bit. Great guy. Kept me grounded when I was stressing😅. A positive force for sure

5:06 when he asks Jody, when your looking up at the JumboTron, did it throw you off beat? 😂😂 In my opinion, you’re so locked in, that it’s impossible for that to happen, unless you’re just not that good, or are in your early stages of learning an instrument. It’s like looking in a mirror and playing your instrument at the same time, “No sweat”.

I left this video for a bit to listen to a Madhouse album. It was Madhouse 8. I found it complete garbage. Probably because I don't value smooth jazz. I don't understand how people can listen to it. Eric is right, and Prince was right to leave his name off of it.

Prince had a saxophone player on a rehearsal recording of Strange Relationship that is just fabulous. He called him 'Ed' though. Guess I'll have to look that guy up to find out more about him. He was great.

It's amazing when a person can recall a bunch of significant events in their past giving you the year each happened as well as their age at the time. I've moved around a lot from state to state over the years but I could never tell you exactly when I did. I just don't remember!! Very good story teller, this guy is. Fascinating hearing a different opinion of Prince too from someone who knew him. Brutal honesty.

I played the Bon Vue in the 90's with my friend's band, "The Second Step."

I may be wrong, but Stacy is probably the 1st female child R&B/Soul singer superstar who paved the way for others like her. Mirah Carey was inspired by Stacy and Tina Knowles (Beyonce's mother) shared a story of how Stacy's amazing talent challenged and inspired Beyonce. Hopefully BET or NAACP shine light on her contribution to the culture! Let's give this sister who just due already!

great interview with larreeee….and luisa tooo…

On sax or synthesizer Larry Williams is a true great!!!!

Absolutely Love E.J Johnson.❤❤❤. Thank you for This. 💯💯💯.

"Sam, Sam that's enough...play eh play the other one, please" 😂

Bite the Beat, easily one of the best on the album.

Wow. It's hard not to respect this woman after hearing what she said about partying and her military father's guidance. Fascinating, insightful person here. Glad I saw this video!!

Still at the beginning of the interview and am floored by the list of people she has worked with!! Amazing!! She's gotta be phenomenal!!

agreed totally with what he said bout goin back to the funk side after lionel left….thought that many years ago…
