The combined artistry on that bill is incredible. The word legend is thrown at many undeserving mediocre artists today. These artists are true LEGENDARY performers of the 20th century.
Sarah still sounded superb. Probably the only time she and Aretha ever shared a stage. Amazing cast of singers assembled here -- arguably the best ever.
I see this made it on RUclips! I was the author of this DVD. Dawayne Bailey, former guitarist with Chicago, had dug up the original footage of the CBS special and also located the missing clip of Chicago doing a tune which never made it to broadcast. With guidance from Dawayne I spliced the clip where it needed to be, added an intro (on DVD, but not here) and added credits. The DVD has extras with the Chicago clip by itself and a slideshow as a tribute to Duke.
@@TrumpetSAE You might be able to find it on a torrent site like Demonoid which is where I uploaded it several years ago. I doubt there will be any seeders and I'm not sure how safe that site would be today (proceed with caution). Dawayne Bailey has a copy as well as myself (somewhere around here). Other than that I don't know. I did the work for Dawayne so not sure what he did with it. Keep in mind that the DVD is not an official release nor is it close to being of commercial quality.
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
God Almighty, what a band Quincy put together for that night! Louie Bellson, Kenny Burrell, Ray Brown, Trumpets include Cat Anderson, Snooky Young, Bill Berry, Clark Terry, Cootie Williams... Saxes, Paul Gonzalves, Pete Christlieb from the Tonight Show!, Marshall Royal, Russell Procope, Harry Carney... Trombones, Bob Brookmeyer, Jimmy Cleveland, Tyree Glenn, Britt Woodman... Royalty everywhere you look... Fantastic! Thank you for posting. Astounding...
Yes. Since watching her PBS documentary, I’ve been compelled to watch her live performances and LISTEN! Please give Ms. Flack all her flowers while she is still with us because she so deserves them. Voice, interpretation, stage presence, her piano skills are crazy talented, and the way she can direct and manage her band and show all while singing and playing 🤌🏾🤗
Three years after this, Mercer Ellington rocked my world one night in my high school auditorium. Ten years later, in graduate school, I saw Count Basie’s orchestra, sans Basie, because he was dying too. Cab Calloway filled in for him. I’m shedding a few tears watching this.
GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!! "INTELLIGENT" MUSIC! WHEW!! SO GREAT SEEING DUKE AGAIN WITH HIS DEBONAIRE PRESENCE, AND ALL THE OTHER GREAT PERFORMERS! ❤ Pointer Sisters would have been great on this! They were hot in '73, and later did a medley of Duke tunes on their "Steppin'" album.
In 1973, television aired this show. I was eleven. There weren't any video recorders yet and I recorded everything with my reel recorder. From that tape was born my love for jazz. Duke, Count, Chick Corea, Dave Grusin, Quincy Jones, Aretha, O. Peterson and many others. Yes, Blood Sweat & Tears too. Finally I can listen to the music from where, for me, it all started. GRAZIE, GRAZIE, GRAZIE.
While going to opera singing teacher he took us down several trails gospel folk classical pop and Jazz and you came to realisation Duke Ellington is as great composer as any of the great European creators and not only that you had to learn to swing! All components are in his music!

What an amazing tribute & the line up was superb! I love it when Aretha sing jazz or blues. It always ends up sounding so incredibly soulful....she can't help it lol
If only for the benefit of history could this be available on a re-mastered edit on DVD or even just CD? This is a historic performance from a group of artists that changed musical history with their legendary original talent. We will never see their kind again. We will see new talents and great talents, but not this kind of talent in this era.
This is one time experience that will never be recreated in the show business again. Thanks for bringing the experience to our attention and we will celebrate it for years to come.
Duke is the greatest! Louis Armstrong the greatest! Their work stands the test of time because they created our time from the blues! This show was a tour de force I watch over again. Stars paying tribute to the sun which is the biggest Star ⭐✨
Well! I'm worn out. Simply wonderful. The fabulous and real, raw and earthy talent of yesteryear. Honesty in motion. Authentic vocalist. In their performance together, Ray told Aretha, 'Tell the world'. Does it really get any better? I'm sorry the sync went off at the end of the video. That said, this was one of the best shows I've seen. Duke's sister Ruth was my best friend. And what about that orchestra? And Mr. Ellington was his usual grand self. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece.

We will NEVER see talent like this again!! Sarah & Aretha 🔥
And Roberta
@@brandonbless9593 and Peggy
The only person missing was Ella Fitzgerald.

Roberta Flack is very excellent singer!
Sarah Vaughan on Caravan is exquisite 😇😇♥️♥️♥️♥️🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Yes. Top tier. 🤌🏾
Sarah still sounded superb. Probably the only time she and Aretha ever shared a stage. Amazing cast of singers assembled here -- arguably the best ever.
There’s another time Sarah Aretha Peggy & Roberta all sang together
Blue ridge is correct
Sarah sounded good up until her death

Thank you for doing that! This was a great show. When it aired originally, I made a cassette of it.
Where can I find the DVD?

Relayerman I believe you sent me one as well years ago
Are you referring to the song Jump for joy by Chicago or some other?
Sarah, the sweetest sound, the voice of my dreams
Glad someone else adores her like I do 😍😍
Faint not. ......im contemplating a shrine.....
I'm a big fan....the greatest of all time

It's a tribute to the esteem to which Duke (and Quincy!) were held!
Roberta Flack is great singer and interpreter!

Roberta Flack the only one out of the 4 ladies still living
What an honor it was for a new group like Chicago to participate in this tribute for the legendary Duke Ellington.
Heartfelt tribute to the Duke. Great Ray Charles and Aretha at 46 min mark of video
Great Louie solo at 11:22 followed by a killin' Sammy/Louie Duet!
GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!! "INTELLIGENT" MUSIC! WHEW!! SO GREAT SEEING DUKE AGAIN WITH HIS DEBONAIRE PRESENCE, AND ALL THE OTHER GREAT PERFORMERS! ❤
Pointer Sisters would have been great on this! They were hot in '73, and later did a medley of Duke tunes on their "Steppin'" album.
No lady owned it to me. Each had a style of their own.
Sarah stole the show!

I recorded it on my little cassette recorder. Incredible to see it here on RUclips!
I was 13 when this first aired. I also recorded it on cassette! I played it to death!
@@EllingtonReflections 😭
Wow!😁 This was the special that Quincy Jones talked about in his autobiography! 😎 Thanks for sharing this historic event!
Paula Kelly WAS a sophisticated lady. You could just tell.
The original divas live!!
This was on network television! The singers on this program were phenomenal
they will never ever fucking ever have this kind of talent singing along and have the whole audience standing up to and cheer!
WILL NEVER. It’s sad as fuck
chills 🥹

If only! (It would also be nice to have David Sanborn's Night Music show available on DVD. So much great material is languishing in the vaults....)
@@EllingtonReflections Indeed!! Sanborn had some fabulous guests on the show and their performances are breath taking!
This is one time experience that will never be recreated in the show business again. Thanks for bringing the experience to our attention and we will celebrate it for years to come.
What a beautiful show thanks for the vidéo

Omg!!! Where can I find this ?! I love Ms Aretha Franklin in the beginning

This is wonderfully delivered
Amazing. I have been looking for this for awhile. Thank you, for posting!
Thanks so much!
You're welcome! And thanks for reminding me of the importance of checking one's work!
is this performance on CD somewhere to buy? The talent that graced that stage was priceless and talent like these Ladies we'll never see again.

Oho! This was on CBS.

Roberta Flack is very excellent singer!
