I wish Pretty was my Grandfather

[montonfields]

"WOW" this guy introduced himself to me in Las Vegas just before New Year 2011, I had "Manchester" on my T-shirt, he asked me where is that, I told him England UK, he told me he's a drummer and gave me his card.... WOW I checked him out when I got home OMG what a legend he is....If only I could turn back the clock.......!!!!

[Danbotology]

Oh my god that live performance from 3:13 onwards is just TOO much.

[jayweh]

whooo I just had to get up and dance to the first solo, couldn´t help it!!!

[lordritchie]

As far as Aretha not recording with anyone but Purdie WRONG. Her first hits on Atlantic featured Memhis drummer Gene Chrisman and Muscle Shoals Rodger Hawkins. With that said I love Pretty Purdie and all that he has done.

[PQleyR]

[eskimoposh]

Thanks "onelove" - it's about TIME someone put a tribute like this together for Pretty. All the young hot heads today need to hear and see what playing from your gut and soul was all about. This clip is a true gem!

[oneloveatatime]

Thank you for your kind words...You can HEAR the passion and feel the love in your soul when you listen to "PRETTY"

[queentate102]

queen will be your girl

[Emeless]

Aw man I am dancing in my soul right now. That was really exhilarating! Thanks for the amazing talent of Bernard Purdie. I have seen his name on numerous albums of Aretha's. I wondered who came of with the beat for Rock Steady.

[oneloveatatime]

OMG, Every time I listen to Barnard play I get chills....You can actually "HEAR" the passion in his beats......OMG
