[redbwoy28]

Spanky brought me here....

[jacobgeee1]

R.I. P. SPANKY 1 of the best guitarist ever.........he killed those chords

[90mv]

[DLloydisDFG]

What happened to this type of music? R&B is dead now.

[brianparran1]

take it to chuuuuch

[ICVOCS]

D'AngELo a bAd bOy. ChEcK 'eM oUt aS hE sTaRt oUt sMooTh, tHeN gO "5 BLind Boyz" oN 'eM.

[Alladin1984]

He reached out and embraced all black music genre in this Jam, musical naturals at work. Cant stop listening to this.

[Alladin1984]

Sam Cooke oldie :0) Bring it home to you

[BAGAKOOS]

this music man... its timeless. D'Angelo one of the best

[mysterybat35]

I have no idea what this is... its not jazz its not bluesm not gospel, nor r&b.. its like some weird mixture of it all .. but I like it... my ears have never heard anything like this.. somehow I like it

[man012able]

@mysterybat35 Well D is categorized mainly under Neo-Soul so that's maybe the sound your hearing.

[stress92]

RIP Spanky

[hirummy]

this is tight.

And I didn't know Ali Shaheed Muhamed could play some mean bass.

[dukeentdotcom]

D'angelo was the man...he needs to get it right and come back strong!

[batman9187]

aight they brought it to church!!

[MrConcussionTheory]

this is my favorite thing ever

[shyguymac]

This is what I call Kick ass sanging!!

[catboyzee123]

Spanky Alford on guitar...he was a bad cat on gtr, RIP. Love this performance, especially when D and Raph flip it into a quartet stomp. Wonderful...shonuff!

[ghugley]

[PeanutMeM]

I mad that the went to church...with dis...lol

[sexayme11215]

[ProlificDecibel]

dangelo never went anywhere ya'll! he's always been here! can't wait for the new stuff!

[cutiepie4shurr]

D'angelo please pull it together baby! U are way to talented!

[allegedactor126]

This is both BAD and ASS...rest in peace Spanky

[Cousy83]

It's like modern music went "Welp. F that, that's as good as it can ever get. Let's take it down a few notches." D, please bring back that Soul in 2012. THIS is what American music used to export to the world. Bring. It. Back.

[xxmahmiixx]

i xxxxx dangelo

[breezywatdeycallme]

D ANGELO, SERIOULY WENT OUT LIKE AMY WINEHOUSE, HE JUST IS STILL LIVING! SMH SUCKS TO SEE SUCH GOOD TALLENT GO TO WASTE

[ebonyj82]

[lovell123456789]

[jelledk9]

@Leah9272 he is coming 30 and 30 january to amsterdam!!!! :D to play music from his new cd

[sorankin]

@Leah9272 No DOUBT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[soulchild0808]

My thing is when artist get together and make something like this and one of them later on get's into troubled time, why don't the community come the help them? D'angelo has been absent for some time.

[JheriCurlJankins]

I think that's a Gibson ES-345 Spanky's playing.

Don't quote me on that though, cuz I don't know a whole lot about guitars but growing up in a family full of musicians and having to shop for them for X-mas and birthdays, I know a lil sumthin sumthin!

[jfo7]

soo buuuutta...

[mnaicck]

By gawd, this is awesome, and Spanky was the total boss

[jahhenry40]

D'Angelo I love you man....jeeez!!!!

[Spidey2391]

RIP Chalmers Alford!



[NotRightN0w]

AHHHH D'Angelo's range is so nasty!!!

[moodydan72]

ohhhhhhhhhhh my gawwwwwwd .......this is so good!

[yasminda93]

c'mn your a real hater if you dislike this..i wish ii knew D'Angelo thats my love...

[BonefidePsychonaut]

WOOOO!

daaaaaaamn.

[electricladie1]

I swear I just creamed my panties, can't be mad at me. This performance was every woman I knows wet dream come Live on stage in suits none the less! somebody pinch me cause it's 5:17 am and I dont believe I've slept a wink tonight.

[electricladie1]

I swear I just creamed my panties, can't be mad at me.

[JoJoe984]

This is a SEXXY combo argggghhhhh

[GizaPoet]

where does that last part come from "Children let's go home"

[GizaPoet]

I've been paying this for awhile, Sam Cook e cover.. it is so tight. They would have been a hella tight group. Real instrumentation and all... All by candle-light

[utterlydazzling]

d angelo so sexy

[NotRightN0w]

This soul is so nasty.

[Jubcatlives]

I tried to figure out what Spanky is doing in the intro and the following gospel number. I posted a video of me playing on youtube. look up 'spanky alford gospel guitar'

[1hotni66a]

Talk about someone with wasted potential. D'angelo couldve been an icon of R&B....but he just...disapeared

[rnjs13697]

wow is it even ok to be that PERCECT?? damn why did I find this video so late? I'm re-watching it like 5 times now lol

[nerdsnshape]

sound like church l0l

[Dano45ify]

Guitar = Gibson es335. Good guitar, but that tone is pure Spanky tho. Give him anything and he could play it like that. RIP

[tighana]

I agree ..hear dat muzik???!!! What!!!

[MegaLemont]

yes sir i love that church em doc

[bakedflakes]

that guitar has a beautiful tone. What kinda pickups are they?

[TheNinobrown68]

RAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xxbabexalicia96]

man....I really miss the talent of D'angelo....Maxwell is the man too...but there was something about D'angelo, Something spiritual and soulful about the talent of D'angelo...c'mon man...get back to where you were.

[theoriginalsafinette]

@xxbabexalicia96 very well said!

[Jazzifizz100]

This is by far my favorite live performance... I watch it everyday and will never get tired of it.

D needs to come back!!

[MrKelmusic]

The great guitar player who ever lived....Spanky Alford. Don't sleep. Ask ?uesto.

[MrTrueBlend]

Home cookin'...nothing like it.

[Qbaby90]

CHURCHED!!!!

[youngbill072203]

RIP Spank!!!

[swordsmanzenn]

great bass from Shaheed.

[swordsmanzenn]

Damn great jam

[judey2008]

why must 5 dislikes this performance?

[justice000777]

@judey2008 they're not used to real raw talent. It's uncommon these days.

[Guitfiddlejase]

@judey2008 I don't know...I watch this probably two or three times a week!

I'll always love this!

[theoriginalsafinette]

@judey2008 because they're soulja boy fans and know nothing about real music.

[Monie719]

gr8 performance

[MrJLEEIZDAWIERDEST]

r.i.p. spanky

[MrZieka]

im glad i finally got to see d'angelo show his gospel roots off

[JazzyBelle30]

SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Raphael Saadiq on bass (and singing background).

and QuestLove on drums!

WTF! How the fuck am I just now discovering this jewel?

[nytwin4life]

@JazzyBelle30

That's how I felt when I saw this... I was so happy but so upset at the same time. lol

[alEE4l]

@JazzyBelle30 he's holding a guitar-_-

[unforgetablechick10]

saadiq know he is so sexy

[JazzyBelle30]

@unforgetablechick10

I seen Saadiq live 2 times and he is waaay prettier in person.

The cheekbones, eyelashes and lips on that man! OMG.

[TheLovliestTear]

Chris Rock had a talk show?!

[nytwin4life]

damn these brothas killed that intro... I love it!!!

[crocketp]

OmG, are they having church? lol Luvs them!

[wrutledge1]

love this version...and love the Sam Cooke/Lou Rawls piece in the beginning too...whew!! <3 :0)

[robtwice]

Alright now! take'm to church!

[pedjizzzza]

wow...

[delamuzica]

He is so talented. Why great people like these loose it. Lauren Hill is Bipolar and D'angelo now is really fat and pays prostitutes for BJ's and is a drug user. Why things like this happen...Geez such great producers, songwriters and performers. very sad! He was one sexy man with a beautiful smile. Hope you get better and healthy. We miss and Love Your music D'

[kevcas73]

@delamuzica because human beings are fragile creatures who are still evolving. Navigating thru this world is hard enough for regular folk, can you imagine being a star.......these are human beings first, regular people who made it and don't have the skills to handle the pressure, fear, anxiety and so forth that comes with it......

[delamuzica]

@kevcas73  I completely agree with you.

[kevcas73]

@delamuzica Respect!!!!!

[tjschoolteacher]

D'angelo is making a comeback folks. Keep ya eyes OPEN!!!!

[Jaydoug99]

anyone know the chords for the keys?

[eharmon325]

@HammonB200 Dude you almost made me curse! That "guitar dude" in the intro is the late great legend Mr. Chalmers "Spanky" Alford. He's played for everyone from the Mighty Clouds of Joy to D'Angelo. It's Spanky's sound that all of these current great guitar players from Jonathan DuBoise to Jubu to Jairus Mozee to Errol Cooney to Tim Stewart to Isaiah Sharkey ALL embody. They've all got a lil Spanky in their sound. Just thought you should know mane.

[amico78]

@eharmon325 i recognized that...especially in tim stewart and in jairus mozee, don't know the other guys...:Spanky is the perfect mix of hendrix and Wes....i play guitar, i would like to come in U.S. and play some gospel R&B, i'm really interested, love that style....do you know something 'bout it? cheers

[psyne000]

@eharmon325 

[bigdude786]

I LOVE WHEN ARTIST SHOW THERE REAL SIDE AND GO TO CHURCH FOR NO REASON

[cle1227]

Saadiq and D'Angelo, quit playin around and put this album out!

[standrick]

now THIS is real R&B! D'angelo come on man... comeback to the game

[jluisp]

@standrick neo-soul

[DAMUDIVINEALLAH]

they needed an album together what happened!!!! late 90s music made me into a man!!!!!

[HammondB200]

guitar dude sounds like rahsaan in the intro

[jonathanspruill]

@HammondB200 thats raphael saddiq, he's basically a legend.

[steezeebaby]

this was funny he took it to church

[Guitfiddlejase]

I don't know...this performance makes me laugh with delight at the beginning...makes me cry tears of joy during the verse.

I can't get enough of this video..I even sent it to a bunch of friends on facebook....we are blessed that we ever got to hear it in the first place.

Thank you for posting this....

[dandbingermany]

just loveeee him.........!  :))

[duedfromtheblock]

Two words. Sexy voice.

Whoa....They were young....

[dbaptiste]

yes still whizz LYNWOOD ROSE

[lisathapoet]

DAMN! DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN That!

[comeoncold]

i agree especially when he goes to church

[DV63147]

will Raphael Saadiq ever age? He still looks the same "Feels Good" to this clip to even now. The man has some good genes now doubt. And his and D's voices just sound like they were made to go together...

[Dre5x]

as a musician... i love it. as a musician... Raphael STOP dancin' with the guitar and PLAY it... that's beyond Soul Train.. its your thing, OK, but it sucks! I'm not jealous.... if you are a musician watchi-ning, it looks like barbie Tonie Phony-Phony. You can play, dude..go head.. Turn him up, somebody. =[..i'm wait-tining =)j/k..?

[charmingone100]

D where u at....:( I miss you

[CjNjones]

Beast!! Musicians killing it too!! Church at the end!!

[trealist2009]

sounds like church from 3 :26 to 4:12

[ShakaDelic716]

and this is WAY better than the original version (in my opinion)

[EarChocolate]

rip spanky:(((

[mitsuomitsuo1985]

astounded!!

[ShakaDelic716]

where's Ali Shaheed? Is he the guitarist?

[amico78]

@ShakaDelic716 ali plays bass!!!!

[free40yess]

great ride!

[BOTTOM432]

Yes that is spanky RIP One of the baddest cats ever in my estimation

[Ralledang]

"Such a wonderful feelin'!"

[13omster]

is the other dude playin the guitar spanky alford? anyone?

[TheWathaNa]

@13omster yeah its spanky ;))

[tre1019]

Im luvin it.

[FlowJazz]

Real musicianship right there ! I didn't even know Shaheed could play bass like that ! Impressed

[rabmusic]

Spanky!

[stillthewhizz]

This maybe 13 years old and things may have moved on but I Believe from Tip's Renaissance proves he still has it. Can I be so selfish as to want some new material from D'Angelo? A real Lynwood Rose album.

[jqcole78]

@stillthewhizz or the James River album from D.

[bigman9099]

one of the best jam sessions ever....fire fo real....

[thugswannabee]

Too funky lmao

[fingers2play]

Look at them church boys!!!!!!!! quartet style ( roots from the church)

[streetzac]

D'Angelo took us to church on this one. D really needs to come back!

[MissAfrique17]

I got to move!! Glory!

[SpenserHarris]

Spank it!

[jarbon5]

Now this was FIRE!!!

[rockstar71979]

this is the result when 4 genius musicians get on stage together. RIP Spanky(Guitar). Aside from that ain't no top 40 bullshit artist out these days got a fragmetn of the soul these cats possess. The real neo-soul movement must return!!!!

[kennykeys89]

comparing holy ghost fire to a woman....ummm i dont kno bout that but d'angelo is my guy.lol

[dudethe2nd]

is that ali shaheed on bass!?? and theres me thinking he just a DJ for tribe.

[allen6924]

Yo that guitar opening was GREAT, man those voicing were SICK!!! Spanky Alford

Got to check out more of his stuff...

I don't really like that neo-funk/jazz thing

they do...But the guitar made it more bop n swing than you normally hear.

[JNowak]

Spanky Alford!!! This cat is my favorite guitar player. His fluidity and chord melody is unmatched. R.I.P. If only others could know.

[torpedoboy4]

nice

[menabear1]

Uh has ya woman been good? *happy feet dance*

[XODUS4177]

Fire!!!!

das all!!!

[MellyOmatic]

My cousin R.I.P. on guitar.

[aretta7]

Spanky helped alot of musicians and artist im happy that he blessed my life ... Miss you Spanky !

[dankeewolnir4042]

ahhhh...thats MEESSSSEEED UP.... chris rock didnt even mention Spanky Alford, who started the whole song, and is the most accomplished one on that stage....not better just more experienced. oh well... thank God for Spanky

[doggydog643]

sam cooke tribute at the beginning made me smile....wish more artists understood his continued importance...come back dangelo...we need you....save the music

[mikeevansdadrumboi4]

[treygroove65]

Un regalo del cielo estos dos gatos.

TreyfromLaBoca

[moneygreen3]

they wasnt ready for this!!! They were before their time with these arrangements!!! They were going to work!!!

[Spidey2391]

Spanky on gutiar .. jheeezeez .. sweet sweet playing .. everything from the tone too those sweet Gospel - Jazz chords ... they dont make them like him anymore..

RIP Chalmers "Spanky" Alford

[GDarkstar74]

That is truth. The old school hip-hop was so great because rappers and musicians grew up hearing this type of music. There is no rap without Jazz and Funk, which are very similar to Gospel.

Gotta give thanks to Graham Central Station, Sly Stone, George Clinton, Stanley Clarke, Herbie Hancock, and way back to Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Charlie Parker, Coltrane, Gillespie, and Monk.

Most Kids today can't dig that good shit. That soul is lost among today's shitty pop music.

[Spidey2391]

yeah man i know !! Fucking great comment man ! its a shame .. all this stuff is a dying breed now ..

[ThePrettylocs]

Haaa! The Band Leader For The Fruit of IslamLOL! Saadiq is the dream come true funk soul producer arranger of modern times

[NonchalantO1ne]

great arrangement...i like how they said "wonderful" that was so soulful great arrangement.

[treygroove65]

yo a estos tios los oigo de pie...

Gatos con raiz , no?

[bigman9099]

This shit is sooo tight its unreal....Saadiq is the bomb. Love the bow tie...he's like the band leader for the Fruit of Islam...

[parrasloscar]

Were can I find this song somebody please tell me

ThanQ

[iGotSpaceLikeNASA]

[bsdguy]

high-jacked gospel quartet music....

[jnauttube]

Damn!

[JackyHapy]

Nice!

[dopemcee]

dangelo is sick.

[foxo661]

[chitozyme]

T-pain and Lil Wayne are topping the charts? Where has the Real music like this gone these days?

[MsMerising]

Preach!

[supermanjersey]

@chitozyme li'l wayne got grammies under his belt now, doesn't that give him credibility now?

[tbeallday]
