[dblockplaysthebass]

id surely like to meet the one person who disliked this.  i bet they're deaf.

[wannawatchu66]

@dblockplaysthebass I think it's the same jerk who goes around hitting the "dislike" button on a lot of videos like this one. Gotta be one dislike for some reason.

[leeoskar1]

great tune,also love little sonnys harp version

[jp00w5941]

@leaualorin Yeah,Handbags in the middle and gather round them in a circle girls stuff!

[IceCrotch]

I have been looking for this version forever! I'd love to hear 'Ain't That Peculiar' (the b-side) also. Thank you for this!!

[johnworacker]

The only version, solid Ramsey a master of his time and now

[alexalot23]

the rl trio recorded a live album in san francisco during the mid sixties. got the album . anyone know how a can get on cd?

[greenwinter]

Total horny piece of music - simply can not be beat - and still runs today at 23:30 on clock WDR5 as signature tune of "reports of today" - unbelievable!!!

[hapzap13]

Oh hell yeah !!!! Let's get down.

[bboymango]

wade in the waaater... FIRE IN THE SKYY

ahha sorry i had to that opening riff is sooo similar to smoke on the water

groovin song tho

[stinkyloo123]

Yeeaaaaah, sounds so good. xxx

[tallorder9]

I sold wine to Ramsey in Chicago. He likes Chateau Y, It 's the dry wine from chateau Yquem. It's rare and it's expensive. Love my man's music too!

E

[naja46]

Great music , remember it back in the 60's . Loved it then & still do now . Fabulous !

[FGWRostaman]

As far as RnB Instrumentals go it really doesn't get much better than this.

[mannamanlondon]

There's a great bootleg of this and Marlena Shaw's version edited together that surfaced in the late early 80s. 30 years and maybe 20000 pieces of vinyl later and it's still one of my most treasured pieces. If I had to give my collection up and only keep 5 pieces, this would be one of them

[mglanfield432]

This is absolutely fantastic. I like electronic music almost exclusively but I can really appreciate this . 5*

[geoffrex1]

Thanks Bankman 58

[jnf1222]

great video, I've always connected with this tune

[ddhdearlove]

OOOOO BANKMAN, YOU KNOW YOU DID ME A BIG FAVOR BY UPLOADING DIS, BABY! I had to get up and dance! Thanks so much; I'm subscribing to you for more!

[dblockplaysthebass]

love it, easily a top 5 song of all time for me

[soulbrother61]

Having taken over from Eldee Young at the age of 27 Clevland Eaton is the bass player on this masterpiece and went on to record with artists such as Jerry Butler, George Benson and the dells to name but a few

[SlickFunker]

@soulbrother61

Do you know who played bass on Ramsey's live version of The In Crowd?

The bass sounds fantastic on that track.

[le3verita]

Thanks, I like very much

[geoffrex1]

A master musician

[greenwinter]

Total geile Nummer - einfach nicht zu überbieten - und läuft auch heute immer noch um 23:30 Uhr auf WDR5 als Kennmelodie von "Berichte von heute" - unglaublich

[45000mz]

This song was in August and September of 1966 it was play all the time on WLS radio Chicago.

[scooterchic1]

[martmako]

massive respect to bank man for posting this absolute quality northern soul gem of a chune ya know..jah bless

[kennyrocksable]

Never mind the 45, i've got the original 'Wade in the Water' album on Cadet! It's in mono, though, and a terriffic record. When i find someone with a video camera, and i get a phonograph, i'll share it with u sometime.

[phoenixs0und]

Nice...thanks for uploading.

[ogkid1969]

i got this on a 45rpm. what a great INSTRUMENTAL

[Dave05924]

Please upload the b side, all turned on, just as good,

[bankman58]

Hey Dave05924, is it the B side on the 45 you're referring to? That would be "Ain't That Peculiar". I have that one.

[Mazeppa4]

@bankman58....I heard this in the car today. Had to hear it again. Thanks!!!!

[shoz1970]

great tune KEEP THE FAITH

[sackmagic]

this is so good

[JonesyLedZeppelin]

My grandfather owned this album and passed it on to dad and now to me. Great, great music!

[greenmean1]

your grandfather knew his music, this is a classic.

[spacepatrolman]

Ramsey lewis had a radio program on a lite jazz staion in new york but he was playing heavy jazz dave brubeck kenny burrell duke ellington and some new ramsey lewis cds.

[JG300Ascout]

Used to have this album, but alas, no more. Who was the bass player on this?...he needs a mention, adds immeasureably to the texture of the piece!

Thanks for posting!

[loveoldmovies]

Whoever voted against my comment below needs to sit down at a piano and show us what he can do, God or no God.

[loveoldmovies]

I've been playing the piano for 45 years, and all I can say whenever I hear this is:

"HOLY SHIT"!

It's a gift and anointment from God. You can't learn this in music school!

[janet290756]

I agree!!

[janet290756]

! agree!!

[megjonaslove333]

For many years, this was the warmup theme song for St. Bonaventure basketball.  The Reilly Center rocked when the Bonnies hit the court and this tune was cranked up!

[blazer79]

I certainly remember the good old days. This song was a must listen to at any SBU Basketball Game.

[07snooky]

We used to sing this song in my church whenever we had a baptisim, Mount Olivet Baptist Church, Saratoga Springs N. Y

[crystalclear999]

Ditto One of my all time favs of all time. If not the favorite. It influenced my musical taste for the rest of my life.

Keep playing that music and yes brilliant to dance to:)

[willisg0d]

dont get much better

[rjh50tube]

This is my all time favourite - such a fantastic track to dance to and still played on the Northern Scene - soooo good!

[bearlysure]

Wow, that is good. I am a great fan of Ramsey Lewis but it has been awhile since I listened to his music. I going to listen to some more now. What memories his music brings to this baby boomer.

[ccfifi]
