The song Soul Caravan went to #1 on Jazz Radio MRVR in 1976. with the great Les Davis. Met the band in 1975 in Englewood NJ . What a great group of individuals Kerry
I'm sorry for Cole. That is a heartbreaking story. I love St. Judes because they do so much for the victims. I wish we had a way to stop cancer. It's unfair. I love human beings.
"C-7 + 9"- my new user's name. Wilton Felder could have easily been crowned the immediate post-Coltrane hero, and precursor of Michael Brecker had he also emerged himself in Organic Acoustic Jazz. Needless to emphasize the fact that Wilton was a "bad-as-ass" saxophonist on soprano, alto and tenor saxophones. His altissimos were always on the bull's eyes - accurate and melody relevant. Michael Brecker, I am certain, was among the greats who admired Wilton Felder, a Funk and Organic Real Jazz virtuoso. Not unlike Wilton Felder before him, Michael made effective use of the "electric saxophone" - for effects. Eddie Harris and King Curtis had employed this tool for the same reason. They adored the use of the "electric sax". One needs to speak of Joe Sample and George Duke as being in the same majestic class as "Chick" Correa and Herbie Hancock. RIP: WF, JS, Wayne Henderson + GD
I like that wave from Larry 'I got this'. Saxaphone player looks like business as usual dont get in my way.

Love the Crusaders! Wouldn't ya think Larry would have wanted to wear something darker to fit in a bit? Did he just come from the prom? BUT-He IS PLAYIN' HIS ASS OFF!
Damit Larry .. you play your ass off .. and you're wearing my old 70's suit! (that is the exact color I wore - so embarrassed ). ;). Well, I"m not here to "watch" Larry, only listen! Love that man.
@@mingamonk Look up the live version of Xanadu sung by Olivia Newton-John to see Mr Popwell and hear his amazing bass work. For a while he was part of Ms ONJ's touring band along with Carlis Vega on drums.
I have been following these guys for 40 years definitely one of the best jazz bands of all time
I'm so grateful for all I've been able to learn from these guys over the years.

Bass Player Robert Popwell is amazing 👍👍🏿👍🏾
Killing. It. A MIC drop performance if there ever was one. Too rich, too mindblowing!
I loved watching this 45 y.o. video of the Crusaders; featuring my favorite musician, Larry Carlton.
One of the greatest performances of all time
Flawless retro , impeccable playing ,one for the fashion police
Stix Hooper looks like he enjoys playing drums more than any drummer I've ever seen. If I could play like that I'd be smiling too!
Once you get past the flawless musicianship, you start to appreciate the epic powder blue suit.
Larry Carlton does have a bit of Ben Stiller going for him here. Of course, Ben Stiller didn't play with both the Crusaders and Steely Dan.
@@jorymilJoni!
😂😂😂
LMAO
Haaaa......haaaaaaa slowly@@MykeFord950
Legendary. One of the greatest bands of all time in my book.
Got to see them live one time. Still high 20 years later. Amazing. Soooooo tight
I have been listening to their discography this year. You are absolutely right.
That was one of the most tasteful guitar solos I've ever heard
Chris Boyd : yes i agree with you
At thé start ans at thé end incredible guitars solos !
And thé bass too !!!
That's because it was done by LC.
Killin' solo, Joe!
Love that tenor sound, WF!
LC awesome notes and tone!
Supergroove
What a band...
I saw him play with the Crusaders in Manchester UK the whole band is on another level....
These guys were awesome especially with Larry Carlton
With Carlton and Popwell!!!Crusaders at their very best!! Thx for posting!!
自分の ”洋楽” の入口は『ラリー･カールトン』と『リー･リトナー』であり､
『クルセイダーズ』と『スタッフ』だった･･･10歳年上の兄が持っていた ｢LP｣ に､
針を落として聴いたのが私の ”音楽人生” の始まりだった･･･この時私は ”15歳” (笑)｡
この様な人間に ”『日本』の歌謡曲や演歌やアイドルを大好きになれ” って言われても､
それは土台､無理なんだわ･･･こんな演奏を一度､聴いてしまったらｗｗ｡
そしてそれから ”40年” 以上が経っているけど私の『クロスオーバー』な ”音楽人生” は､
一生続いて行くのでしょう･･･きっと (笑)｡
Robert Pops Popwell is a legend
THANKS FOR THIS POST, ❤ I am a Crusaders fan from way back Dobie❤ revisted May 5 2024
LARRY CARLTON!!! HE DELIVERS THE SHIVERS!!!!! GUITAR EXCELLENCE'!!!
I'm sorry for Cole. That is a heartbreaking story. I love St. Judes because they do so much for the victims. I wish we had a way to stop cancer. It's unfair. I love human beings.
LC Rules!!That powder blue suit and the Gibson wonderful outfit!!
These guys are the real deal. They are legends.
I'm speechless....the dudes are just workin' it!
Love this band ... great memories.

And he played a mean bass, too!
Wilton was Jesus on Sax, Coltrane was God

You're so right, his handbag and boots are also totally wrong...!!

Me thinks they didn’t have a Dashiki in Larry’s size. Play dat funky moozik, white boy!
WHAT A BAND
You really miss the horn combo of sax and trombone. Wayne Henderson had left the band just prior to this.
Larry with hair!....Great playing.....early seventies Crusaders. Suit looked like it came off an Ice Cream Truck.....
Got to respect whatever he's wearing playing with the other cool dudes
Quel groupe extra Larry était chevelu
The Drummer and Bass player are funky and cookin!
yeah no shit.. . that bass!
Pops Popswell on bass, Stix Hooper on drums. Fantastic!
Outstanding band
Pops nailed it...
First video I've ever seen of Mr Popwell

Houston, tx where else
His rhythm section is killer.
Crusaders were great throughout the 70's!
前のコメントの続きだけど､でも自分が『クロスオーバー』という音楽を､
嗜好しているからと言って､私は ” ｢外国文化｣ を100％賞賛している” 人間ではありません｡
私は『日本』をそして『日本文化』も大好きな人間です(笑)｡ そこはお間違いの無き様に･･･｡
『グローバリズム』･･･という言葉は自分の中から完全に ”捨てました” からw｡
That bassist is the definition of “in the pocket*
And another good one.... love The Crusaders :)
カールトン。クルセイダーズだ。🙄
Montreux '76..
great!!
Fantastic !
They made their best and commercial mega success without Larry Carlton. Street life
cooking..
Crusaders met in grade school!!!
My only complaint here is too much tin, and not enough skin on the drums.
Awesome playing otherwise.
I dont see wayne henderson
Why is Carlton tone on overdrive thru out.. They are playing Funk! Clean it up ..
he pulled it together for the solo :-) yeah, coked out hit the fuzz pedal by accident on the rhy? what the hell...
Not yo gramma's funk.
CHB: LC doesn’t change his amp settings for the lead, he’s just playing single notes rather than partial chords so it sounds cleaner.
Wilton Felder is the Second Coming of Coltrane
Wilton is Jesus on Sax period.
