I don't care what people say. You don't know nothing bout music. This set is tight. I'm a Drummer and I love to put this on and play to it. I lose myself in this song. This lady and her group are super talented. She's a hell of a Bass player as well. So is Mike Neal on Bass.......You'all non music people go back to sleep. We got this......
It's okay. Some people just up here trolling and chatting nonsense like they know about music but they don't know jack! They're not even musicians! Me'shell Ndegeocello is the queen of bass and groove. She plays with our greats like Marcus Miller, has zero ego and has amazing talent and skill which she continues to share for those of us who just can't get enough. Ignore ignorant haters. They will always be there...stewing in their own ignorance and hating. We get music blessing along with 6.4K others. Haha!!
Just discovered this!! I keep playing it over & over. I think about this man I need to get out of my mind( he just don't know)pain of love is a bitch!!!
This soul sister is the shit. I love her first 3 albums. MeShell & Rahsaan Patterson are two of the most underrated & unappreciated artist in the music industry.
If you are here (hear), then you already know. Me'shell is a "true" artist. She paints the most beautiful pictures with lyrics, melodies and honesty. I feel sorry for those who have yet to experience her.
She is so underrated in my book she has the most sultry seductive songs I have ever heard like on a whole other level that some artist try to come close to but never reach .......but that's just my opinion
Maurice Moore Sorry but that’s a LOT of our opinions! She sings from the depths of her soul... hence the Hearer FEELS every note... nuance... haunting angst in her mind blowing lyrics...#Fool of Me is one of the most amazing and memorable experiences I’ve ever had
Meshell Ndegeocello is so dope! Her music and her love for music, man words can't even explain. I just love her and her music. I can listen to this all day every day.
I used to watch Meshell Ndegeocello play all the time at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in Greenwich Village circa 1991/1992 well before she blew up on MTV! I treasure those performances.
I don't know how so many artist are glorified and artist like Meshell go underrated..... she's seriously the truth straight poetry in music form.... I go to another place when I hear her music. Thank God for you ✊🏾✨
I remember walking into a music store back in the 90's, I saw an interesting album cover (Plantation Lullabies). I slipped the headphones on and listened to her the intro, which perked my ears up. I kept listening and then I heard "I'm Digging You (Like An Old Soul Record) and I WAS HOOKED! Bought the album immediately and have been a fan ever since!
After stalking Meshell here on youtube (that's right I said it, STALKING!!!) I propose that she is a genius, an unsung hero. Surrounded by great talents, she still gets better. One of the most versatile performers alive, listen to "Faithful" for proof positive. Amazing Artist!!!
Darryl Robinson you're so right, having followed her since Beavis & Butthead back in the early 90's in stunned she's not more known. Maybe she likes it that way. I know I certainly do, the shear privilege of small venue gigs is unbelievable twenty five years later. Just amazing so lucky to have her in our lives.
That keyboardist (Frederico Gonzalez Pena) went on to play with Marcus Miller's Band. Yes,he is a monster player!!! BTW, I am and will always be a huge George Duke fan,RIP!
Wow. How can 45 people give this performance a thumbs down??? Oh wait...there's people who have no clue what real music is. Beautiful version of this tune. Changed it up from the album but just as sweet.
+Eric Beek I hear ya man. She's changed her career up alot. Love her funk stuff more than anything but I can understand an artist wanting to try different directions. They don't all do it for me but she'll always be a badass musician with a whole lot to say
Here I sit with goosebumps in 2023. That's 30 years since the release of "Plantation Lullabies" and Meshell's music has been with me ever since. I would give anything to see her live again ❤
I'm in love with Allen Cato, he makes that guitar sing!! This is one of the baddest songs, just let the words marinate, you don't know the pain I feel, sitting outside your door!!!
One of her most brilliant albums to date. This album was so earthy that every time I listen to it it actually calms my mood. 20+yrs and I still listen this album to sometimes wind down from a hectic week. This style of music will stand the test of time.
One of my favorite top ten songs by her.. they threw down on this song while having fun performing and supporting one another! Master craftsmanship work! ; )
Lots of her music is SO soothing! Super cool acid jazz is the only way to describe her sound! This IS great music to listen to when the world is bearing down on you!!!
I am in AWE of this woman! She seems to be so personable and sweet. I, accidentally, heard her about 15 years ago. I haven’t been able to shut her off since! Her lyrics of longing and love lost. Who among us can’t relate? Love you Girl!
Meshell, Is without a doubt one of the best musicians or artists that has ever and will grace us in our lifetime! She is so spiritually deep with her lyrics. From the arrangements of the musicians she chooses to work with her are simply awesome. When I listen to her music it takes me on a journey, like none other can reach. Mere words can't even come close to explaining what her energy in music brings to this planet!!! Her energy is out of this world!! I hope she knows her appreciation!!
OMG, I Saw Her Sweet Presence as I walked along the streets in Brooklyn New York and I wanted to approach her so Much but I had to play everything Cool and respect her privacy and space because I didn't want to get her in trouble by causing a happy scene that was too noticeable but God knows I wanted to thank her and tell her how much i fell in love with her music 🎵🎶🎶🎶🔥 Especially this song here. 😊 I wish I wasn't so shy. 😊 My heart was screaming for Her to notice me because I Love Her music and wanted Her to know that 😍💯💕
It doesn’t get any better than this wow I’m totally blown away that band is evil meshell did her thing it’s a crime she doesn’t get her props she is totally a gifted musician and songstress..
Me'shell Ndegecello: She is big in the Washington DC area! She was born in the area! She performs in Maryland and Virginia in the summer! She has a huge following among afro-americans and Caribbean origin persons😄!
This Sister right here, where is she at the sounds the groove is on point, I was hook on her sounds when the movie classic "Higher Learning" was out back in 95 shes one of the best....
NPR has a slogan ( All Songs Considered ) this is one of the most slept on artist EVER , and what a shame that is , these days people are caught up in this loop of mundane music and the radioes ( yeah I said it ) sad new age rap, while the music that you need to hear is being show cased on the tiny desk concerts of NPR . Thank you and keep up the good work .
Before I play this I just wanted to say they say what we just came from is star striking the Lord loves you that much these are treasures from God's Tabernacle his Jukebox That's my heart my gift that I that I share with my brothers and sisters we are all blessed are all blessed enjoy
you kept me going when i lived i n london in 1994 your tunes kept me from going mad and gave me a source of sanity, i dont think anyone could really be there with me then like you were, love you and your music forever xxx
It's 2024, and this masterpiece makes sense. Who agrees with me?
I AGREE!!!!
Correct. 😊.
Most definitely!!!!
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️

💜💜💜
You are so Rite!😁

She is the truth...Period!!
Grown folks music.
Anthony Stephenson yessss!!

You ain't alone brotha
Agreed!
Maurice Moore I think she just needed a few more national hits. To put her on that level.
She isn’t underrated, she just isn’t known.
Meshell Ndegeocello is so dope! Her music and her love for music, man words can't even explain. I just love her and her music. I can listen to this all day every day.
It's actually magical.
Indeed. 🥂

This type of authenticity is so missed in today's "music industry"
absolutely she is the women version of Kem

Tori Bel she didn’t sell her soul to Satan that’s why.

Meshell's keyboard player is one of the baddest dudes on the planet.
Federico Gonzalez Pena. One of the best. Check out his work with Marcus Miller Tutu revisited.
Thats her to playing the key broad as well
Yep, he is great.
She was a head of her time. One of the first Neo-Soul singers. ❤️

Yes.❤😍
Her backup singers sounds fantastic!!! The female is amazing.... She has some strong vocals!!!
Wow. How can 45 people give this performance a thumbs down??? Oh wait...there's people who have no clue what real music is. Beautiful version of this tune. Changed it up from the album but just as sweet.
Probably youngins with their mother's milk still on their breath

+IndustryPlay360 For real!! Unfortunately that's the way it works with the music industry. All about fads and bullshit more than real music.
I LOVE this live version of this song. Her band is incredible!!

Got to see her last week in concert and she’s so amazing!! Her voice is mesmerizing❤
She's touring now for the OmniChord Realbook for which she just won a Grammy. Check out her touring schedule.
I feel like I'll come back to this, always. A true experience of Black magic ☺️🥰
Mr. Allen Cato on guitar. Had the honor of playing alongside him last year.
LUCKY YOU MR...

That's awesome. Pls stream it if you do it again, I'd watch it a thousand times like I've watched this vid :)

Yeah, this is music you have to be able to "FEEL" and some folks will never get this.
One of her most brilliant albums to date. This album was so earthy that every time I listen to it it actually calms my mood. 20+yrs and I still listen this album to sometimes wind down from a hectic week. This style of music will stand the test of time.
This is a song that speaks to the soul....
I continue to love this song and Meshelle since my college days in 1994...sensual and sensational
One of my favorite top ten songs by her.. they threw down on this song while having fun performing and supporting one another! Master craftsmanship work! ; )
Such a rare artist with God bless talent! A female Prince
Someone else said that.
doesn't make it less true :)
+ArchieGe Amen Brother
The way she says "No one could ever love you more" is so believeable! Her voice and lyrics are intoxicating! Ninguém poderia te amar mais o meu amor.
I saw her perform three years ago.....she had the crowd wrapped around her finger...shes amazing.
God this woman and that voice!!!
I was here before 2020 and I'm here 2020 and so on.
Me too. I love her.
Still rocking with it in #2024. This is one of my favorite lives from her. She's such an amazing musical genius.
Lots of her music is SO soothing! Super cool acid jazz is the only way to describe her sound!
This IS great music to listen to when the world is bearing down on you!!!

You are correct.
Still listening to this cd in 2021! Beautiful!!!

Prince called it:
🎶Real music by real musicians🎶
🙏👌
She's a powerful artist. She's always gave me chills. You feel the music
OMG, I Saw Her Sweet Presence as I walked along the streets in Brooklyn New York and I wanted to approach her so Much but I had to play everything Cool and respect her privacy and space because I didn't want to get her in trouble by causing a happy scene that was too noticeable but God knows I wanted to thank her and tell her how much i fell in love with her music 🎵🎶🎶🎶🔥 Especially this song here. 😊 I wish I wasn't so shy. 😊 My heart was screaming for Her to notice me because I Love Her music and wanted Her to know that 😍💯💕

Dude can Play sounds like George Benson!!
This performance is so amazing. I love how all the musicians are close and having fun.
Had to come back 2024 ❤ 🎤🎼🎶“ here I sit outside your door… talk to me.”🎶🎼🎤
I remember buying her CD for the song, Dreadlocks... buy quickly discovered the song, OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR... truly, the BEST song of the album.
I like the entire CD, a little bit of everything.
That tune is so fucking awsome! Meshell and all of her musicians are so excellent...especially the guitar solo is fantastic!
