Damn, damn, damn!!! This is why I love RUclips so much. We get to see these gems years after these beautiful performances were made. Rest in Peace King and Queen. They don't make 'em like this any more.
like willie weeks , johnny b gayden paul jackson ( and hungry like scott Lafaro ) - u my fave bro - check out my friend on his youtube - this guy is multi inst - hammond / sax / bass --- swear you'll luv his offerings friend me on facebook - much gud stuf there - I just drum good -hehe
When R&B legend Otis Redding, who wrote and first recorded “Respect,” heard Aretha Franklin’s version of the song, he reportedly said, “well, I guess it’s that girl’s song now.”
They called him King Curtis for a reason. Rest in Eternal Peace, brother! Thank you for the legacy and the music you left us. Thank you, King Curtis. ❤️🎷🙏😎🎸
Jerry, I know you already know this but you are part of the greatest night in the history of music recorded in early March 1971 at the Fillmore West with two amazing albums. To have you, Cornell and Bernard on the same stage as Aretha, Ray Charles, Billy Preston, King Curtis and the Memphis Horns, tell me a better band. You're a living legend
I was there with Keith Knudsen and Philip Wilson behind the curtain and later behind the Hammond!!By far the greatest Show I ever saw!!King Curtis conducting…Great Indeed!!
Thanks to Duane Allman for talking about King Curtis on an Allman Brothers live recording in 1971.... hes a new discovery for me.... wow, what amazing talent, what a band.
I got to meet her, briefly, during her appearance at Essence Fest. Imagine meeting the woman of your dreams and finding out that she's the sweetest woman that you've ever had the pleasure to have met. I will never forget how down to earth and real she was.... I would have moved mountains for her.
Wow , Aretha had wings and was soaring, the King kept the beat, and the Sweet Inspirations were so sweet. Thank you Harry for giving us back such a wonderful moment.
ReRe could have sung the Blues as well as played the Blues on Keys with brilliance and soulful energy. Here was King Curtis hitting those Altissimo Out-of-range High Notes with the ease of "a bolt from the blue" - 1971, eh! In this regard therefore, the King begot, among others: Grover Washington, Jr. Ernie Watts Michael Brecker David Sanborn Marc Russo Gerald Albright Nelson Rangell... Big sister Erna - "Take A Little Piece Of My Heart" - and little sister Carol were just as fabulous as middle sister Aretha. RIP, loved ones! Lohvissimo!
Well ive got to admit after having grew up with Arethas music ide thought ide heard al her stuff but this was what real music is to me exciting moving and so up lifting muchas gracias for posting amigos
The beginning when Aretha asks "how long is King gonna be on for?" while King Curtis and the band are playing their sublime version of Whiter Shade of Pale.
One HECK of a Band and BGVs! 🔥👌🏿 There's nothing much more that can be said about Aretha Franklin. 🖤 Thank you so much for the video. Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
That’s some GOD DAMN BASS GUITAR. Earned his spot in AF’s band. Owned his spot. Also Bernard Purdie!!!! Props to Cornell Dupree. Atlantic. Will never be recreated, remotely, ain’t even near/close/within proximity. Distant. JERRRY JEMMOT!!!!!
Does anyone know if there is a video of King Curtis's band that was on just before this concert? It was the "warmup band" but to me it was the best part of the show!
What the hell happened to music? All,the beautiful humanity and emotion is gone replaced by money making formulas and gimmicks. Just another example of the decline of our society
Damn, damn, damn!!! This is why I love RUclips so much. We get to see these gems years after these beautiful performances were made. Rest in Peace King and Queen. They don't make 'em like this any more.
Like Magic; in a bottle! Oh what a night. Thank you, Harry.
Thank you Mr. J for being a part of it and for everything else you've done. Inspiration to musicians worldwide.
One of THE Finest voices 😍👀💃

Mr Jemmott -- you rocked here, and forever
Thank you Mr. Jemmott, we love you!
Her great piano playing is often overlooked. It was pure gospel.
Seriously, I've never heard her playing, at least not like this. Really great playing!
My Love for SOUL MUSIC LED ME TO THESE GEMS.

Hear Hear Sir.
What a wonderful piano player Aretha was!!

A Goddamn men.

Truth.
I think this filmed at the Montreux Jazz festival.
Thanks to Duane Allman for talking about King Curtis on an Allman Brothers live recording in 1971.... hes a new discovery for me.... wow, what amazing talent, what a band.
Aretha sang "Never Grow Old" at King Curtis' funeral in 1971. I bet she raised the hairs on all those in mourning that day!
Amazing Aretha Great back up band.😊😊
To me the greatest female performer ever. She's got something there in her throat that brings chills to my whole body
I got to meet her, briefly, during her appearance at Essence Fest. Imagine meeting the woman of your dreams and finding out that she's the sweetest woman that you've ever had the pleasure to have met. I will never forget how down to earth and real she was.... I would have moved mountains for her.
Wish I could like this video a thousand times.
Wow! The Greats all together in one room.....AWESOME!!! Missing Aretha and King Curtis!
Aretha and the bass player are front and center, with her sweet inspirations right there. That's an amazing band behind her people. But she is the 🌟
No doubt!! Everyone knows she's the star. There will never be another like her.
Stunned by the bass playing ..the band are brilliance..then there's Aretha...the next level.
Thanks for posting this. It's magical.
Aretha deserved the best. Best band, best audience.
Wow , Aretha had wings and was soaring, the King kept the beat, and the Sweet Inspirations were so sweet. Thank you Harry for giving us back such a wonderful moment.
THE BASS! THE BASS! I'm dyin' here!
Aretha and the bass player need to get room. they doing there thing right in front of everybody playing Natural Woman, What a Show!!!
Wow. Aretha was a sight to behold.. will always miss her
Yes, and when this era was happening, she was on the radio all of the time. It was a great time to witness soul music at its best.
She was awesome on piano as well.
How good 💯 is that.❤
Pretty Purdie on drums adds so much soul
All the way soul! Queen is soulfully beautiful.
ReRe could have sung the Blues as well as played the Blues on Keys with brilliance and soulful energy.
Here was King Curtis hitting those Altissimo Out-of-range High Notes with the ease of "a bolt from the blue" - 1971, eh!
In this regard therefore, the King begot, among others:

David Sanborn
Marc Russo
Gerald Albright
Nelson Rangell...
Big sister Erna - "Take A Little Piece Of My Heart" - and little sister Carol were just as fabulous as middle sister Aretha.
RIP, loved ones!
Lohvissimo!
Damn when Aretha starts playing piano wow!
This is THE JAM. I've heard Dusty, and others BUT Aretha lifts this sonUP! HalleuYAH!
I can’t believe she was ripping cigs and singing like that. Wild.
Didn't affect her performance.
Well ive got to admit after having grew up with Arethas music ide thought ide heard al her stuff but this was what real music is to me exciting moving and so up lifting muchas gracias for posting amigos
Just and simply the best! Thought your not with us, your very much around. Much love Ré. ❤️
Jerry really feeling himself on the bass. One of my favorite bass players alive!
Who is playing bass?
@@nandrew78 jerry jemmot
Just a wee bit of talent in that band, wow. Thanks for posting this.
RIP queen of soul.
Top musicians we were blessed to witness.😊
been looking for such a footage forever,
the black and white Aretha @ fillmore is such low quality
thanks for sharing!
The beginning when Aretha asks "how long is King gonna be on for?" while King Curtis and the band are playing their sublime version of Whiter Shade of Pale.
Thank you Harry for posting this. Awesome. I'll sleep good tonight !
Holy mackerel. She's the bomb.
One of the great shows on RUclips is a James Brown special featuring Aretha and Wilson Pickett, with Joe Cocker singing When a Man Loves a Woman
ARETHA and THAT band.....
Great! Wonderful! Thanks from Italy
Harry, keep on swingin'.
GOLD!! Unfortunately we can't hear Dupree but other wise awesome!!!
i kept listening . . . but he's pretty well buried.
One HECK of a Band and BGVs! 🔥👌🏿
There's nothing much more that can be said about Aretha Franklin. 🖤
Thank you so much for the video.
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
Good Lord!

Though your not around, your just there. ❤
Thank you Harry !
The top shelf.
Geeee, this line up is ridiculous，the recording should be into music history museum
Jerry Jemmot!!!!!!!
That’s some GOD DAMN BASS GUITAR.
Earned his spot in AF’s band. Owned his spot. Also Bernard Purdie!!!! Props to Cornell Dupree. Atlantic. Will never be recreated, remotely, ain’t even near/close/within proximity. Distant. JERRRY JEMMOT!!!!!
You Goddamn Right!
( understatement ).
Awe.
I agree with my assessment.
tous les 10 ans je me dis que je suis amoureux d'elle... mes années passent et elle reste aussi belle...
Thanks Harry!
Nothing better than Aretha
Real pros. I wish I could have been there that night.
just fantastic
awesome!
RUclips is about the best information entertainment media that exist today among many.
cause I remember just what he said he said darling I love you you know that he lied...not nice ending my song like that...we want more!!!!
Thank you, friend!
What a great era for music. Funny to see the Queen casually smoking before the show. Sad that King Curtis would be murdered a couple of. months later.
Truman sounds great!
Check this sick Pretty Purdie lick @ 7:40!! That was fire!!!!
REST QUEEN.
ライブ観たかった。。
peak human civilization
Aretha Smoked....wow....didnt affect her voice at all 💖
im white as a mf could get, but god i love black people.
LOOK AT THE LINEUP ON THE THUMBNAIL!!!!!!!!!
❤❤❤
this is the definitely BEST band for her. Anybody know where we can see the rest?
that fermata at 15:50 is divine
Aretha may be the greatest female vocal ever. Name one better
crickets ............
I have a close friend who would argue Mahalia Jackson. Either way, I'm glad I get to listen to both of them.
Where was this show and roughly what date? Anyone know? And who's on organ?
Montreux 1971
Truman Thomas on organ
Wow
c'est la reine de la musique think a little bit
It cut off when she started singing don't play that song. .. is there a full version of this concert?
Oh Yea;
I remember:
Tks. much.
Ringo's in good form here...
Haha! Paul is dead.. Billy Shears forever. :)
Shhh...
Is this the full concert??
No, but here it is. It's the Montreux, Switzerland concert of 1971. ruclips.net/video/X3LpDmBPuL8/видео.html
Does anyone know if there is a video of King Curtis's band that was on just before this concert? It was the "warmup band" but to me it was the best part of the show!
ruclips.net/video/zzlrt-CX2C4/видео.html
Check out Champion Jack Dupree & King Curtis live at the Montreux Jazz Festival on You Tube. Aretha is in the Audience watching .
Shout Out to Bernard Pretty Purdie.
1:50 I certainly am NOT looking at her eyes! O_O
This one never phoned it in
Year ?
1970 ?
Someone mentioned the Montreux Concert 1971.
Where's the rest of the fucking show?
Only one dislike.
All those who disliked this gem are retarded
What the hell happened to music? All,the beautiful humanity and emotion is gone replaced by money making formulas and gimmicks. Just another example of the decline of our society
Sad statement. I wish it wasn’t so accurate. There’s still beautiful music though, just not on mainstream radio or TV.
