- Paul Shaffer put together this great crew to perform Let's Stay Together for the Late Night 7th Anniversary show in 1989. Al Green, Toni Childs, Carlos Santana, Tito Puente, David Sanborn, Melissa Etheridge and more.
One of the best live performances ever on TV
Could not agree more!
amen
Probably thee best music video on RUclips...Truly history in our hands.
You have got that right!
Now this is what i call MUSIC
Tower of Power horn section....NOBODY better.. Emilio and The Doctor have been putting together stellar brass for 50 years. Their reputation for unmatched musical prowess is evident by the dozens and dozens of bands they have performed with over the years not to mention their own unrivaled soul and funk band originating in 1968 from Oakland, CA. and continues to tour nationally and internationally to sold out venues 250 days of the year. No other horn oriented soul / funk / jazz band can truthfully claim the same.
Isn't that David Sanborn on one of the sax's? and who is the Howard Jones blond guy on sax?
I believe James Brown horn section is equally good
Wow! Mouth Dropping! Never seen this performance before
In these crappy times a reminder of happier days--God bless Al Green!
Fabulous! Seeing Patti Austin back there too! this is a great funky version!! Paul Schaefer is a genuis
Never another Al Greene,some of the best soul songs of his day.2020 here.
The band line up for is Al Green and Toni Childs vocals, Carlos Santana on guitar, Tito Puente-percussion, David Sanborn-sax, Tower of Power horns, McCoy Tyner on Piano, Background vocals: Melissa Etheridge, Darlene Love, Patti Austin.
greatness
Pure Joy! Thank you!
one of tha best performances of "lets stay together"!!!
only the pros can recreate such brilliance!
This is GREAT GREAT and more GREAT PERFORMANCE from the brilliant singers and musicians who performed here
Increíble AL GREEN, CARLOS SANTANA, TITO PUENTE!!!!!!!!!!
Used to watch this show live.
Back when tv really was a medium for art.
Paul Shaffer brought in the best every week.....witness this one.
Wow. Thank you!
Wow; this performance with all these accomplished musicians is the best. Toni Childs is new to me, but lending plenty of soul. Tito is at the top of his craft! What we have here is nothing but the best! ------- Laurence H. of Del Rio, Texas
This is a song of Al Green....one of the best voices in the world!! This is a classic!!!
Electrifying!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you are brushing up your heair to go out, listen it!!!
what a wall of sound! i remembered this rendition being pretty good when i saw it on TV decades ago. after seeing and hearing it on youtube recently, i can't believe how good this sounds. the tower of power horn section, will lee's bass, melissa, patti and darlene as backups... i can go on and on. al green and toni childs are good, but they are great together on this rendition. and hat's off to Paul Shaffer for assembling and getting this all to work so well. yeah!
Backing vocals Darlene Love, Patti Austin and Melissa Etheridge.
I'm a big fan of Toni. Al has a unique voice and Paul Shaffer chose another (Toni's) to complement his. Great Performan
Thanks to Paul Shaffer for bringing so many of his music friends together for this historic concert, and such a brilliant arrrangement! It must be a real challenge considering most of those people's own touring schedules, personal lives...reminds me of what a major production it was to get people together for the We Are The World project.
what a line up,pure magic
Wow. The Rev is so real,. this song comes from his soul. Only a broken heart would know.
THIS is seriously BRILLIANT!
and the video is really rare! we can see there legends together! Al, Toni, Carlos.. wow!!
respect!
Tito Puente on Timbales. The king.
Awesome! Had me dancing in my chair!
JÁ OUVI UMA CENTENA DE INTERPRETAÇÕES DESSA ARTE MUSICAL E FICA DIFÍCIL DIZER QUAL A QUE MAIS GOSTEI,
A MÚSICA É LINDA QUALQUER ARRANJO FLORESCE MARAVILHOSAMENTE.
many all star bands are named as all starr bands.
BUT THIS IS REALLY ALL STARR AND DESERVE TO BE NAMED LIKE.
Toni Childs...love it
Top thanks you....al green the best ❤️❤️
It's a blaster I've been coming back to for a good few years. Blows the cobwebs away. Music with raw people power.
No matter how many times I watch this, I get the same buzz.. I sent the link to my kids, who are in their 20s, and they're now Al Green fans. What a fucking lineup, doing my alltime favorite song!
David Sanborn is and always will be tha man!! :)
How can one room hold that much talent
today is 05NOV2020.....this is my escape from reality just for 4 friggin minutes
dang! this is too good!
the best version I ever see.....
The Tower of Power horn section!
Simply one of the best versions of the song ever done.
Phew, 1st time I've seen this version. It's great
Only performance Ive ever seen equal this was Roberta Flack with Luther Vandross, Patti Austin and Lani Groves backing at Colby College in the early 70s. With Luther and the ladies driving her, Roberta's voice (in its prime) was just soaring in a full speed version. You can sort of get an idea listening to Roberta's recorded version at slow speed 2 decades later, but as a opening song live it was a killer. Sorry I ran on, just love this song.
Looks like everyone was having fun. RIP Tito Puente.
What an amazing live performance!!!!
Rest In Peace Willie Mitchell, who produced & arranged this tune for Al Green(and many other classics).

What a gem of a jam. Just now found this. I loved Toni Childs when her album hit in 1988; there is nothing--absolutely nothing--comparable to hearing Al Green live (in 1972, he played "grad night" at Disneyland for us so.Calif. high schoolers!). Toni Childs was part of the sonic inspiration that led me to start my career in media in 1989. Besides those named, I think that's Phoebe Snow and then Darlene Love next to Melissa E. Awesome all-star lineup. Thanks for posting. I've been re-ignited!
I'm almost 98% sure it 's Patty Austin, Darlene Love and Melissa Ethridge. Hard to tell due to bad quality video.
I think it's Patti Austin.
It doesn't get much better than this, Carlos Santana guitar solo with the Tower of Power horns, Bravo!
I watched this when it first came on TV and recorded it on my VCR, I wore the hell out of this tape, playing all the time. Thank You! THANK YOU! for posting this. It has all my favorites.
great Carlos Santana
Was that Carlos Santana? It looked like him.
@@reepurpose8712 red clothes... yes that is him!!!!
A rare treat to see/hear!
Toni Childs is probably one of the most understated female vocalists of our age. She has a dynamic voice!!!!!!
the amazing Tito Puente....
I loved this video for so many years.
Incredible. Where are TV moments like this now?
Toni was fantastic...and I only say "was" because she-for whatever reason- hasn't recorded anything in years. At ;east that I can find. What we can agree on is we are at a loss without her beautiful vocals!
Nonetheless....many months ago- after listening to "Angels Talk"- I took a stb at You-Tubing "Toni Childs." This was the end product.
There will NEVEr be an assembly of this much talent ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
beautiful song
What a great find!! A surprising live performance of one of my very favorite songs of all time. Wonderful vibe..great sounds..nice to see. Thankyou!
The sleeper is the great McCoy Tyner on piano!
Wow
Didn't notice that
RIP maestro
U kidding, right?? Because, if this is real, that performance should be on HISTORY!
Steve Groves on Sax...early 90s horn section. Lee Thornberg on Trumpet...both phenomenal talents.
David Garfield & friends did a superb version for the Jeff Porcaro tribute album, but definitely, nothing beats the original. Al Green...the man.
this is : fantastic!
I remember Letterman making some comment after the introductions, "Carlos, I guess you didn't get the memo about the band deciding to not go with the all-red outfits?"
Carlos can wear a thong and flippers if he wants....
formidable
Oh my GOODNESS!!
I so looove this!
Thank you. I could watch this over and over again.😍
yes, that is carlos, good eye!
great horn section, thanks for posting this
so much soul in this song..love it!!
Got this taped on VHS live when it first recorded!
Time was on the Letterman show that when Tower of Power played NYC, they would come on the show. This would be typical of Dave's band to put together an extravaganza and all-star performance. You can't see this anywhere else on television. I can't remember the last time T.O.P. did the Letterman show in NY. Time to bring them back. (featuring Larry Braggs, of course)
You can barely see him, but that's McCoy Tyner (who played with John Coltrane) on piano.
WOW.. I am floored.
Toni Childs
this is awesome! man the BEST perform of this one Ive ever met! actually the band is fuking great, what a line-up! al is soo cool on vocals.. great.. thanx
such composure al has...brilliant!
Brilliant
Don’t forget Will Lee on bass
Most amazing performance!
Wow and Wow! AL was an amazing singer.
Santana y Tito Puente.

Yes that is definitely him and Carlos Santana on guitar
Paulsomeness💓
Holy crap - lots of talent up there...
Thanks so much! I saw this live years ago Late Nite with David Letterman. Never gets old...
Very Good! Charm, cool and different version! Love this music, and despite not knowing Toni Childs until now, already loves! Sorry English, but what matters are soul.
..un capolavoro assoluto!!1......se la musica fosse sempre questa.......
Just...wow!
JUST SMOKING HOT.
the legendary tito puentes on percussion.
Amazing!
Very good
Toni Childs voice = ugh.
Love this!

wonderfull song, wonderfull band
I still live to jam this song out on my blue tooth speakers by the pool. #bestever
The best song ever
By the way, Al did this on another late night show "Saturday Night Live" for its 25th anniversary. Their house band backed him up.
this is awesome
pretty cool! Makes a lot of fun to watch it and listen to it! (: Great!
@MissTheKriss I searched for this since the night I saw it live. This IS the only place on earth, lol, and I'm blessed to find it. THANKS- HOWEVER....
In reference to the 2 trumpet players - that was Tower of Power's horn section - plus David Sanborn on alto sax. The trumpet players were Greg Adams and Lee Thornberg
Excellent
OMG! Let's dance!
