Let me also shoutout David Lindley who was a master musician. The albums he's played on are part of rock and roll history. And his solo albums were not only fantastic, but also loads of fun! RIP, sir. Amd OMG, David Sanborn on sax! As well as the Late night band. Great performance. Thank you for
Kelven! So very true 👍 this level of talent is sorely missing in today's so-called entertainment industry 😢 And I had never heard Curtis' voice( and I just turned 63!) This is absolutely 💯 generational, You simply can't improve perfection, Taylor is amazing as is David Lindley, he was much loved by my friends in the '70's- if memory serves he played on many LP'S such as Jackson Browne ,Linda Ronstadt, many others 💙
@Richard Barrick ...I have the double album Curtis Mayfield Live at The Bitter End in 1972. Just amazing!! They play this and it's incredible! They also do The Makings of You...OMG!! If you can find it I highly recommend getting it.
Legendary Curtis Mayfield, his life was tragically altered August 13th 1990 while performing in Brooklyn outdoors he was paralyzed when a tree branch struck him during a storm. Rest in peace
Before Greg Lake died a few years ago, he did a solo tour in small venues and was fantastic. He sat down at a piano and played “People Get Ready” for one of his encores, it was as so soulful and beautiful! What a gift Curtis gave us!
Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions has to be angels in disguise. A song that well put together and sung so beautifully on a track. A barber teacher got me hooked on these guys when I was 24. Now being 31 that song is very needed in my life. When I’m down and out I just put it on and zone out. Thinking of what it would be like to board that train and where would I go with people I never knew before. Probably would have the best time of my life and never look back 😢! Him and his group always made the best uplifting music. #RIPCurtisMayfield
Wow!Mr.Curtis Mayfield,can never be obliterated, as his voice and music can never be duplicated.The one and only, whose prose and poetic music soothe your mind as it entrances spirituality.
Hi edagdwg God bless this special soul with a forever loving voice to sing and enjoy his life with other people Miss him faith is soooooo real Linda j . peace a forever loving fan.
david lindley...right behind the great curtis mayfield passed away recently and can't go unmentioned. i remember david sanborn on late night television but i never got to witness curtis who of course is an all time great so thank you.
A great performance by many musical greats and the legendary Curtis Mayfield doing his Impressions song. My props to all the performers present. R.I.P. Curtis Mayfield, Hiram Bullock, and David Lindley.
Good old Curtis Mayfield rip bother your music will live on for every love you man I know I was born In 1989 but Soul music will live with me for every
I love Curtis Mayfield and his music. A great live TV rendition but I agree on the rolling credit distraction. I also noticed that Curtis must have forgotten about David Sanborn's solo right after the modulation as he began to sing the next verse, "There ain't no room..." (1:35) Sanborn graciously pulled back but then Mayfield, catching himself, yielded back to Sanborn. Skillfully done and Sanborn got to play his soulful solo. Beautiful.
THESE NYC LIVE SESSIONS ARE PURE AMERICAN NYC GOLD YOU LOOK AT THE PERFORMANCE AND YOUR JAW DROPS THE AUDIO AND PRODUCTION IS STUNNINGAND THE ADMIRATION AND REVERENCEFOR EACH OTHERS TALENT SHINES THROUGH THIS ONE BRINGS A TEAR SIMPLY CAUSE THIS GIFTED POET LEFT US TOO SOON THIS IS MY SECOND ENCOUNTER WITH THESE GIFTED ARTIST THE FIRST ONE WAS MANY YEARS AGO AND LOW AND BEHOLD DEANGELO ON THE FENDER RHODES 88 JAMMIN SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE WITH ERIC CLAPTON WOW WOW WOW INFECTIOUS SOUL .28 MUSIC IS TRULY UNIVERSAL IT HELPS TO BARE ONES SOUL PEACE NYC
Really miss Sanborn's Night Music show at 11:30 pm on Sunday nights during the late 80s. Always great artists and great live music. Nothing like it on network TV now.
Just heard a David Lindey interview after his passing. He related this date as a fond memory. Brought in that afternoon, little rehearsal. Presumably after Mr. Sanborns solo and a verse Mr. Mayfield turns to Lindley and says “play the solo” quiet like. Lindley said it was a great solo and great moment. But we got credits instead.
Thanks, Scott. That was good background. I thought it might have been a somewhat impromptu performance. Lindley's opening to the song is too loud, which is easily done when there isn't a proper sound check (perhaps it's that way on YT only, or perhaps it was the mixing). I agree with some who think the sax solo had too much vigour, but I also agree with those who think it was good. He certainly goes for his solo, but what else was he supposed to do--play it blandly? I don't agree with those who dislike Taylor Dane. I barely know her music, but she sang sympathetically, with feeling and restraint; she felt it. She didn't detract from Curtis; she added yin to his yang. In this video, we have the privilege of listening to one of the most beautiful, singular voices (and guitars) of Soul music, singing one of the great peans, which he also wrote. Curtis Mayfield was Great. It's understandable that people don't want to be distracted--they want pure Curtis. I'm grateful to be able to see a hero perform.
Curtis is way awesome--and that lady's voice is to die for . . . whole band did a beautiful job on this tune. ..which Curtis himself wrote in 1965. Thanks for posting this.
Taylor Dayne was a major voice of 80's pop music..but there always seemed to be more to her than that. I wish we'd heard more from her..but we have this gem, here. & Curtis? He's just on a whole 'nuther lvl! Amazing..music exudes from his soul through his voice & hands.
RIP CURTIS ! Listened to you since I was a little boy Gypsy Woman , Fool For You . When I was 14 I used to shoot pool at Pool Arama ,pump dimes in the Juke box ,I would just shoot and listen day and night.
Lord, what a program, two years of Sunday night bliss,great house band,all the guts masters of their individual instruments combined every week musicians of every genre doing once in a lifetime interpretations of their songs...it was blissful...then management pulled the plug and just like that... the end! But For Two Years...Musical Bliss✌️🙏
I lucked out and was invited to a taping of the program. It was quite eclectic with Sonic Youth, Indigo Grils, Diamanda Galas, Evan Lurie and the stellar regular band. Sonic Youth was LOUD.
..uuhhh..guys? This was on SNL. THAT..was a whole different era! Amazing. Do what ya'll can to help America keep her soul. Your family..friends..community. That's the fabric holding the whole show together. God bless ya, as you do..and as the folks above sang, "People get ready". In case of Rapture, or individual departure. Hallelujah
We all need to get on that train - together once again - as a model for the rest of the world. Show was called Night Music, produced by SNL’s Lorne Michaels.
wow! such a wonderful spirit in taylor dayne here performing with a soul legend the late but great curtis mayfiled. god bless you taylor i love you and your music you were a vital part of our life line during the 80s i still play your music today thank you for the memories and all the rest of the special women artist of the 80s.all of you were just simply the best.
WOW...I didn't know Taylor Dayne performed with Curtis Mayfield. Taylor Dayne's voice is electric - got me hooked with 'Tell It to My Heart' back in the late '80s. Thanks for sharing!
I love seeing clips of these great 70s & 80s weekend music shows; Midnight Special, Friday’s, Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert, Night Music. That era of music was so good & soulful. It’s a sad shame that music like this isn’t made anymore.
I've always loved this song, but I never knew who wrote it. The first time I heard it, was on my first - Vanilla Fudge album, 1968, when I was 13!!! 💖💖💖
The credits going over the performance is perhaps why you see the cast and musical guests hugging and shaking hands at the end of SNL as the credits roll now.
My dad recorded most of them on VHS LP. The LP speed tapes were poor visual quality but the audio was hi-fi stereo PCM. I managed to rip digital copies of just over 10 hours of the music from the live performances from many of the episodes. I should share these files.
@@rusty2022-uy7ov here is the upload which I included in the post description. Enjoy and pass it on. archive.org/details/night-music-hosted-by-jools-holland-and-david-sanborn
@@geoCow I grew up in Woodstock, NY, from '64 thru '77, and David was our local Sax player, before he was on the original SNL band, and before him being on David Bowie's Young American song and album. That was when he got Nationally known, as Bowie did for Stevie Ray Vaughn, but I got to see him regularly sitting in around town.
@@rusty2022-uy7ov You were so lucky to have been in that town during that time! I dreamt of sneaking off to the Woodstock festival but at 14 I couldn’t make it happen. I got into jazz via jazz fusion in high school. My dad had a great Verve record collection so my ears were used to hearing bossa nova Getz, Gilberto and Jobim which complemented Chick Corea, Stanley Clark, Ten Wheel Drive Traffic and Chicago. Luckily, I had diverse musical mentors and great college and AOR fm stations in NYC where I grew up to imbue my adolescent ears with brave new sounds.
No one never blame his mistake for the timing of phrase “There is no room for the hopeless sinner”, before saxophone solo.
David Lindley!! RIP

Too my 3 sons believe always
Credits should never have been run over a Curtis Mayfield live performance. A musical genius deserves more respect.
I totally agree. That sucked.
Which is also why you shouldn't have David Sanborn's sax spoiling the moment again.
!! agreed
@@anodyne57 eh I disagree. I definitely love the song without anyone featuring in it but that sac solo was sweeeetttt!
Agree

A pure genius! His body of work rivals that of anyone who ever worked so in the music industry.
Taylor sounds nice!
Curtis was special!! Taylor can sing it!!
Curtis Mayfield was a very unique guitar player
Curtis, the genius whose talent and gifts are highly missed, David Sanborn on the sax, just awesome as always, and Taylor Dayne, magnificent voice.

People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
So people get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers' coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board 'em
There's hope for all
Among those loved the most
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own (believe me now)
Have pity on those
Whose chances grow thinner
For there's no hiding place against the Kingdom's Throne
So people get ready
There's a train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
