Teresa James & The Rhythm Tramps - Live on Hippies.TV

[markelsebusch]

Amen to alcatrakz. It can be frustrating trying educate the ignorant on youtube. Too many people confuse their opinion for fact. Every artist has influences and it shows in their work. whether it be interpretive or imitation, it is all acceptable and appropriate. Rock on Teresa and the RT's.

I'm not sure how old some of you are... But blues COVERS are not exactly RIPOFFS...lol Standards in Jazz and blues are quite common, as are covers. LoL.  Wow.

[sianeltwunk]

her version of it aint my bad this time

is a direct ripoff from an early labelle album

you turn me on

how the hell can someone just ripoff another artist's work

youre voice aint bad girl, just do your own shit from now on OR credit the real artist

gee aint this just like years ago when black artists MADE the music

and white people ripped it off for big money...

BOO on this band and singer!

[sianeltwunk]

i suppose shes not bad for a white woman, if she is...i dont really wanna know

ALL I KNOW IS THIS BITCH IS RIPPING OFF LABELLE!

BIG TIME!

@sianeltwunk So Leontyne Price, Kathleen Battle, Jessye Norman are rippin off white people's music, specifically Italian because they sing Opera - you know Italian, white people's music?

You're right Sallyturi, you really need to see her live. I've been fortunate twice. 1st time in a small tavern on the Santa Monica pier (Jan '01) and again at the Portland Or. Blues Festival (July '06)

Way fun night! Video isn't one tenth as potent as the live performance. You go Teresa... great things to come!
