Martha Davis - Martha's Boogie

[Fiftiesflashback]

Spontaneous combustion!

[claudio725]

Spouse? Why Spouse, and who is this spouse? Fantastic piano playing.

[rogerstill71]

Why is this the first time I have heard of this great artists? FANTASTIC!

[mrbenthemop]

that is piano playin!

[coryalanbryant]

HOLY SHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!  :O

[JohnnyCavallo]

... Sure Fantastic & Legendary piano-player, but where to find a record of her ?...

She played accompanied with the fabulous guitarists Leo Blevins (MD & The Esquires, 1946), Ulysses Liningston, John Collins (in 1951), and who was this Ralph Williams (1947-1948) of her "Torrid Trio ?...

This is contemporary music, talented music, and there is no record anywhere !!!

[GOLDBAND45]

Wow! Give me more of this REAL music!! Thanks!!

[superjtrdr]

I accidentally found this video while looking for something else. I have never seen anyone play a piano like that.

[zagnit]

Holy schmollies!!!

[HoboGus]

This Martha Davis is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

[antoniaworbridge]

Insanity, that's great also very

Man oh man ....

[bigdancd]

I remember her when I was a kid and she was on Ed Sullivan a few times. She was nothing short of awesome, Being a white kid, I always leaned to black music. I thought it was hot and really made you want to get up and dance. Bo Diddley was by far the best rocker of the 50's. Most of the 45's in my small collection were black artists. Fats Domino, Little Richard, and Bo. Bill Haley was the best white rocker!

[fredjmp]

Great!

[kenllow80]

This woman and her spouse are SO hot!!!!!

[TheReturnOfStephan1]

***MOUTH HANGS OPEN IN ASTONISHMENT***

[Coppillie]

Wow!

[CptvonChaos]

How anyone can stay in their seats while this is playing is beyond me. Love this lady's playing!

[fadermaster]

This song is a half step up from what she's really playing. It must have been sped up during the transfer. None the less she is rippin that song.

[toniwashingtin]

What a character and a personality but she plays her A!! off....

[moangel1958]

That woman is quick!

[silver307rulez]

she is a pure legend. phenominal playing here, just like many other boogie woogie players back in the dayyy. :)

[yvesami]

Wonderful Martha Davis God bless and R.I.P., died only aged 43 in 1960. Her husband was Calvin Ponder who later played with Earl Hines. Ponder died ten years after his wife.

[Victorjariano]

ooooooo, lo mas extraño que escuchado en mi vida.

que formas de armonias tan raras. estoy seguro que son mezcla de jazz, blues etc.. y algo de ella

}genial!!!!

[MyOttoLink]

Now that's what I'mTALKING about!! This kind of music too often gets kicked into obscurity--THANK YOU for putting this out there!

[mikeandmike]

id kill infants for the skill in her left hand

[Corporations8MyBaby]

lol! I'm not sure how effective a method that is versus say, copious practice. Is there any scientific data on infanticide's effect on piano dexterity?

[mikeandmike]

extensive research in northern russia has shown that the number of daily killed infants is actually inversely prportional to piano dexterity, so i have stopped. lucky me : /

[music0iseverything]

Great...

[JamesPriceJohnson]

woo hoo, play it girl!

[debjame]

I'd never heard of this lady. She can definitely "tickle the ivories." Thank you!!!!!

[musictranscription]

I can get the notes just by ear

[Biztrumentals]

dayyum she can play the piano

[starbank2]

Love it,,love it !!! Brilliant ,awesome,what else can you say...

[AnBon74]

WOW. I must say that this was pretty amazing!

[ashepp3679]

Holy Crapoli ! After all the thousands of hours I've spent practicing and hear Martha Davis toss off that amazing, rockin' crystal clear technique at warp-speed -- and all with a big smile on her face .......... just kill me now!

[STANLIZ4]

Thats how I feel! know anybody that wants a piano!

[bluegrrl70]

holy sh*t...she's not even LOOKING half the time.

[gadzooks63]

hey haley . . lets not forget STRIDE . .my fav. . .jerry

[gadzooks63]

i wonder . . . if she ever met phenom art tatum??? quick hands. . almost as fast/quick as a.tatum you go girl...

[gadzooks63]

at the end of that number . . .i stood up and clapped . . your good for my ears . .

[eaglesfan5936]

OH MY GOD!! SHES AMAZING!!!!!!!

[mchsiboy]

That woman had some skills !!!! Wow !!

[re6356]

I often wonder why singers are regarded as THE STARS. I am a reasonable singer and have earned money as a vocalist. If I could sing as good as this woman plays the piano, I would be top of the bill at Las Vegas. Instrumentalists are the real musicians. Comparing singers to instrumentalists is like comparing a blacksmith to a watchmaker. Martha....you are GREAT!!!!!

[musictranscription]

I can write any sheet music

crescalona@yahoo dot com

[jovannakk]

she's incredible! 5 stars!

[stanpiercefield]

I remember watching Martha Davis and Spouse on the old Garry Moore show on CBS daytime TV back in the mid 50's - wow - what a treasure to find this!

[paddeyOmalley]

there are two great pianist by the name of Martha as far as i know..one of em is the jazz pianist Martha Davis and the other one is the classical pianist,Martha Argerich

[haleyfan]

Martha Davis is one of the udner-rated masters of boogie, blues, and jazz piano playing.

It's astounding how fast she plays that left hand stride boogie.

[oldsgt6]

[brucebud]

Wow. Her command of the instrument seems effortless. Her timing and attack is amazing and then to keep that groove while mugging for the camera .... superb!

[ItaliaBill]
