This is what music is all about. It's not about a flurry of notes or who's the best or someone trying to one-up someone else. No, no. Music is supposed to reach into your soul. These two musicians know exactly how to do that. Damn!
Ruth Brown's comeback is one of the greatest. She was literally working general labor jobs from the 70s to the early 80s. It was red foxx, whom she'd worked with in the 50s, help her kickstart her comeback, and the rest is history.
Isn't it wonderful to see pure, unassisted (no auto-tune) talent. It's no wonder that Ruth Brown and B.B. King are legends and we "old school" fans (I'm 62) find this new crew of singers and musicians in 2016 an absolute BORE. Thank God for RUclips. I start my mornings with a big dose of music history. Thank you Ruth Brown and B.B. King for being there for all of us!
Can't get any better than this. There are very few performances that I can listen to over and over again but this is one of them. We've lost two great ones. This warms my heart. RIP Ruth and B.B. You will be missed.
+barbara Massey No way Barbara, this will keep us young. Yes we will all have to go eventually but when we do I'll be right there with ya! Blues heaven!!! Thanks for your comment short and beautiful. you've got it goin on, thanks.
Ruth B brings the energy that b.b. can meld with. Ruth Brown is the rhythm queen that built Atlantic Record's. Two legendary performers bringing the 🔥 for us to see.🎶
WHAT AN AWESOME TREAT !!!!! TAKE HEED YA'LL YOUNG SINGERS ..THIS IS REAL MUSIC , TRUE ENTERTAINMENT, THESE ARTIST ARE FEELING WHAT THEIR SINGING...ITS GENUINE NOT ARTIFICIAL
This woman was a LEGEND. LOVED her. Saw her many times over the years, and she was always phenomenal. BB, of course, is AWESOME. Wish I'd seen these two together!.
Thank you so much for this video it touches my heart and my soul and yes this is brown liquor drinking and baby making music ohyeah to of one kind thank you again Justified
15 thumbs down? What the hell is wrong with these people, no taste, no class. Two legends, great every time they went on stage. There needs to be a thumbs down police, thumbs down on this, is a crime!

"Don't touch me like that. I can't stand it." Perfect, absolutely perfect.
Ruth sings out that first "LORD" note, I'm already mashing that 'like' button.
What a woman. What a voice.

King is killing it softly with those killer vibrato licks.
Wonderful...God bless both of them. Love from Babala, (at 85 I'm soon to join them).

Ruth was 65 years old here, prior to which she had won a Tony, a Grammy, and in the same year, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame
