- The only band that could make Booker T & The MG's sweat. "And now we need a pound of fat back drums..." King Curtis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 6, 2000. Exquisite. Perfect. If you enjoy my RUclips channel, visit my blog at

Anyone who came here in a bad mood and left that way needs to check themselves for a pulse. The bass groove, the fantastic drums by Perdie, and King Curtis's infectious smile. The whole band is amazing.
I'm turning my 35 year old nephew to this jam today.. He was amazed. We need to teach our younger generation about where we came from.
All musicians should listen to this lesson on how to groove ! Genius !
That is some serious killer bass.
David Richman yes no doubt
You ain't kidding!
A groove so deep you could get a truck stuck in it.
Brilliant I agree
The bass man was busy all through, brilliant.
What a true gent - He names every member of the band - A FANTASTIC soul classic.
Jerry Jemmott is killing it on the bass. Forget his start, He is in the pocket with Bernard Purdy
He's so far in the pocket he's scratching his knees...
I agree he wasn't nailing that Bass line at first but he got into the pocket later and grooved
That outro, just groovin'
Bernard gave Jerry a little side-eye at the start.
@phillydisco Chuck Rainey doesn't rate???
Straight fire 🔥. Love how he’s playing the guitar at 2:18. Also love to see so many white and black people together.
Yeah, me too! And this was the 60s! Gotta love it!
the most delicious Stew ever prepared, Bon Appétit
King Curtis. Perhaps the greatest sax man in all of rock and roll history!
how cool is the bass palyer! super tnt cool thats what.
DiG ThAT BASS - AnD ThE HaMMoND -- PURE FUNK
Let's not forget King Curtis August 13th when he passed away the sad thing is if it wasn't for some prick out there he could have still been playing music tearing it up I love this man
that sax literally drives me crazy!!! the tone he produces on those long high notes??? insane!!! thanks for sharing this great performance! :)
King Curtis was a legend. an accomplished jazz musician. Inspired by the likes of Lester Yuung, Illinois Jacquet and Gene Ammons, he played with jazz greats Lionel Hampton, Wynton Kelly and Cannonball"s brother, Nat Adderly. He was an innovator in the school of rock and roll/funky sax playing and paved the way for cats like Junior Walker and Maceo Parker. In the late 50's, early 60's he made the move to rock and roll and the rest is history with classics like Memphis Soul Stew and Soul Serenade.
And K.C. was Aretha Franklin's tour band leader.
we could all use a pound of fatback drums
These cats are the best.
Not only that, but Bernard Purdie worked as Aretha's musical director for several years.
When King Curtis was opening for Aretha Franklin in 1970/71 (?) King Curtis and his band played their own set, then went on to play for Aretha.
Damn straight the funk starts here! :D
Cornell: @ 2:06: Does it GET any more "Dial 911" than that FUNK-TURE wound of a chord he inflicts w/4 quick stabs? AFTER that sweet "bawlin'" Memphis guitar! Hail the immortal Monsieur Dupree!! What a badass BAND! At EVERY position! ...Thanks for your time! 👍🏻
I love RUclips for stuff like this. Great posting, thank you!
RUclips is the biggest juke box in the world! Gotta love it!
Not only is this great, it was also sampled for one of the greatest gangsta rap tracks of all time: the Geto Boys' 'Trigga Happy Nigga'.
how did 22 people not like this?
No pitch corrected vocals, distorted guitar solos or rapping. What a shame.
It wasn't long enough
What Cornell Dupree does on guitar is unbelievably amazing.
I'm a drummer, but if I was a guitarists, I would be trying to play like him. He never sounds bad
@@noostrings I'm a carpenter and can't play anything, but if I could I'd be grooving like Cornell. Cheers. Check out Cornell with his band Stuff:Signed,Sealed, Delivered live at Montreaux if you haven't heard it. Phenomenal
You can tell where Nile Rodgers and those guys were coming from, musically
I don buleev it
@@fintanoclery2698thanks for mentioning this. It’s something to study for sure. Cheers!
Amazing group of monster musicians.
This is what I call real music...I wish I had a time machine to go back to that era and listen to this type of music as an adult..
You have the time machine right in front of you!
I've watched this vid so many times, and i never get tired of the drummer at 1:23. His face says it all: he is just sooo into it.
Drummer Bernard Purdie is truly a legend and had a spectacular career supporting dozens of major stars. There is even some controversial debate that he may have assisted the Beatles
+Cuthbert J. Twillie Yes Bernard Purdie is really fantastic playing drums. He's ease and fluidness reminds that of the legendary Al Jackson of the STAX Band Booker T & The MGs. Two legendary drums players
+MrSleazymoney You woudl tend to believe Bernard. He's not a guy that needs to brag or make up stories--his amazing career at the top of the music world says it all.
Yes the drummer is just fantastic. His brilliance recalls me that of Al Jackson of Booker T and the MG's. Also watch and listen King Curtis at 4'06, he is just the king of sax.
+Eugène WOPE : Eugene-- great call-out! King Curtis shows he is king of the sax with the solo you mention....it's not fully understood, really, what his loss meant to music then --and now. Even John Lennon sought King Curtis out and used him on his "Imagine" album..
Damn I was born 3 decades too late to enjoy this kind of music. Everyone is school is into rubbish rap, I'm the only guy who loves northern soul, motown etc (just like my dad)
it's cool that you're into Jazz but dont be 'that guy'
You can't beat Northern soul I still play vinyl today keep on keeping on 🎵👍
If you listen to this and are still in a bad mood, you need to seek professional help. Jerry Jemmott just grooves!
word
🤣😆
wicked bassline and tight drums and funky guitar,and god curtis!!
Magnificent band.
These guys are in at the birth of funk for sure.
Awesome players all.
they r all top notch musicians playing with the greatest saxophone player in my lifetime
Searching over 2 years for that song of my childhood when the benjamine sister loved that song...Good memories ! Thank you for downloading the song.
Jerry Jemmot is a killer bassist. He and Tommy Cogbill were 2 of Jaco Pastorious' influences
This song is bananas. Love it, and great rendition.
U have to turn it up max half way through.
I cry when i see humility
Just saw Bernard Purdie last saturday night....May 12th...Hung out and talked drums.....nice guy and funky as &^%$#!!!!!!!!
This is the band that became Aretha Franklins back-up band-------Jerry Jermott,Cornell Dupree,and Bernard ''Pretty'' Purdie........The funk starts here!!!
that is one cool bass player
Thank you! *Curtis Ousley aka King Curtis - February 7, 1934 - August 13, 1971* - Shared Feb 7, 2019

Wonderful bass playing
that bass solo is somethin else
I've loved this version of this song for decades-but I never knew there was a vid. Just awesome.
thanks a ton for posting this, never actually got to see these guys!
I guess it's kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good place to stream newly released tv shows online?
@McGarVision
That's right. It was a tragic random act that shocked many of us.
This is fantastic clip.
Rest In Peace Mr Cornell Dupree (died at 68 yrs old from ephysema around May 11th.)
The Blonde guy with the pinkish shirt enthusiastically clapping. Center of the screen.
Cornel Dupree is the guitarist who created the licks on Brook Benton’s “ Rainy Night In Georgia “
@Ariamaluum The drummer, Bernard Purdie is the most recorded drummer in music history and has also recorded with Aretha Franklin, Steely Dan, Jeff Beck and James Brown. There are frequent debates that Bernard secretly sat in on a Beatles recording sessions as well.
I think Hal Blaine may have his numbers and some. Regardless, great is great.
That is always a debate BUT King Curtis was one of the opening acts for The Beatles at She stadium.
Mam, what a band!
The Soul of Sax - thanks to the wholy ghost for blessing this guy !!!
Ha! I have Been listening to this song since I first heard it in 1997, and now I can finally put my mental image to video reality, Fantastic!
Amazing! Now, this is a history!!

Dupree & Purdie, fabulous :) :) :)
+Justin Hooper YES INDEED. TWO OF THE GREATEST SESSION GUYS EVER.
That's how we played music , on hotel st. Back in the early 60's.
un grand bassiste
Terrific.
I will be waiting!!!
The golden age of soul, for that matter music in general (50's and 60's) is sadly in the past, but luckely we can re-live and enjoy it through these wonderful recordings. They don't make it like they used to!!!!
Wow, this is so good! I can't stop listening!
His units of measurement should be the new global standard.
Funky stuff baby; yeah!!!
I'm a good Canadian rock drummer,and I've had the extreme pleasure of jamming live,recording and hanging out with Jerry Jemmott. He's so funny and such a gentleman aside from his musical prowess.
Yes,I'm bragging!
Not sure how I stumbled across this tonight, but I found out that King Curtis was murdered in Manhattan at age 37. I remembered hearing his name in the "Buddy Holly Movie". King was born in 1934, same year as my dad, a jazz aficionado. I go back to study Dad's music, Hampton, Duke, Taylor and so on and that old jazz pull seems to be in my blood. Dad turns 85 in March and I'm gonna' take him somewhere special, like Newport. I also discovered Lee Morgan and his tragic death, but I'll bet Dad was not a Trane fan, too non-mainstream, we'll see.
I still remember the first time I heard this. I kept looking for it because I couldn't get enough.
I needed a little Stew for the Soul this morning. It hit the spot!!!
This is some fine fine music by some great professional musicians.
Fun to sit back and listen
Genius.
this is so badass
killer band, timeless music, 50s rule!
So good so Far !...

hell of a band, don't forget Jr Walker & Bobby Keys, wish those 3 legends had done an lp
