Michael Franks - Chez Nous (Live 1991)

[jazzytds]

@TheRealAmhere Excuse me, but Michael's music is not relative to a race, it is simply Michael, and his cult-like following are devoted, loyal, passionate listeners. So before you attempt to crucify this wonderful man and his musical finesse, perhaps you should know, his mentor was Jobim, who also was the mentor of Pat Metheny, both of them are unique in their style and nor does it require racial classification.

[EnVizionThis]

@TheRealAmhere Please don't "go on". It will only further prove you're a dummy who can't even spell. 

[mborquaye]

Michael's music is Zen based, you have to listen to the words, It doesn't take away from African American jazz- this brother is different- there is room for everyone- it's jazz bro!!!!

[jturner901]

Chez nous continues to be one of my most favourite MF songs.

[kodiakanubis16]

effortless...nice to hear his songs...where is he now?

[Chisexybruh]

Yes! LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing.....i love this song. And he was great with it live!

[helenaZZZZirlandaise]

Just found this singer.... such a beautiful sound. Each song a variation on the theme of anticipation.... music that turns foreplay into the main event. ;-)

Nice find. Lucky me!

[kattmaccable]

I'm like you, I don't understand why the true genius goes unnoticed. I guess it's just a sign of the times. I was 19yrs. old when my first boyfriend took me to see him at theu niversal amphitheatre. It was an experience I will always remember.

[nillawafers96]

you already know what mood this puts you in...

[Milltrust]

At 18 I listen to Micheal - Art of Tea best coooool dude Id herd never seen him live but had some sexy nights with him blowing in the back ground

[HisWordIs]

AWESOME!

[javierfrommallorca]

michael and his music are beyond grammys or anything of the sort.

nothing in this world could prize michael's form of art.

[Catlovertea4]

Of course at a slightly varied genre, but surely Michael influenced John Mayer, at the least.

[evie725]

There's just NO other performer like Michael Franks! His sexy, smooth voice & incredible lyrics make him one of the all time greats.

[ewffan]

That album BLUE PACIFIC is the greatest vocal masterpiece I have ever heard in my life! I know the lyrics front to back, back to front! LOL He could do a concert with just the songs on that album and it would be worth the price of admission!

[LongBrdr4life]

I last saw this guy on the DragonFly Summer tour. This cat led me to the yellow jackets which led me to the Rippingtons. His music is the dank!

Micheal Buble should hear it, then quit.

[tubebitch12]

Are they gonna wait until this man is dead to recognize his impact on music. He is one of the true greats! Nobody is like him , totally original there will nothing like him again!

[bevanne12]

It baffles me why Michael doesn't have a stack of Grammys in his home

[lioninwinter101]

@bevanne12 Michael should never had a mullet. that lost him a few Grammies

[janesaddiction1]

Michael, Michael, Michael! I don't know what more I can say! I adore this man. I have never missed a concert. I wait on my yearly MF visit like I do Christmas :-)

[007THEDIAMOND]

I have to give props to the piano player. He killed it! OMGoodness! Such an awesome solo. That piano will never be the same. Wow!

[gungis91]

[kuualoha2008]

great memories...I have this c.d, Micheal Franks never goes out of style. I listened to him in the early 80's..popsicle toes, eggplant..etc..great contemporary jazz...and pianist ...to die for..

[tariqcco]

omg the pianist smoked those keys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tubehead357]

His music can cause a pregnancy! With Michael's help it's ON baby!

[ewffan]

Yo! That whole BLUE PACIFIC cd from 1990 was on the one! He should just do a whole concert of just that CD!

[TheToltec]

[brainnee1]

[memoryfull21]

[coffeeland]

Difinitely chez nous :P

[tonyukleics]

michael franks, you rock! i'd like to see "nightmoves" too, please, anyone?

[murphyjjr]

I have been listening to Michael since the 70's when he was giggin with Gurin. Being a drummer, I miss that sound, but man, can this music sing!! This man is timeless!!

[grandcentralterminal]

Luckily I knew a dude that spoke French that told me that Chez Nous meant At Home, and told me I spoke french well! Thanks Mic for teachin my another lingo dude! I love this song for the realism of jet travel of today and missing those conections and having to shack up at the Hilton or Marriot and not at Chez Nous! Who needs viagra with tunes like this! Long Live Jazz!

[daymc10]

the piano player is killin...

[Selmarg]

Michael Franks writes such elegant lyrics. Definitely old school. The man understands the beauty of language.

[benthead]

Michael Franks has a M.A. in Comparative Literature from U.C.L.A. and a P.H.D. from the University of Oregon. That might explain his way with whimsical lyrics and language.

[kumdo44]

i know him.

[DJKaija]

Definitely Mr Cool!!

[jtinsleyjr]

Michael franks is jazz

[wardbundle]

way too sexy!

[maucano]

siempre sera el mejor!

[badasbeauty]

micheal franks can sing to me forever.....relaxing he is.

[briandonald]

We just got tickets to see him in Detroit on July 28. Looking forward to it.

[reginalyn]

I agree! Mr. Franks has touched so many people with his wonderful music! So sweet!

[Shaggieone]

Mr. Franks has no idea of what his music has meant to my life....

[benthead]

Another guy who got through midlife with the help of Michael Franks.

Thank you Michael. You made sense of my life.

[maucano]

el mejor!!

[ez1dog2]

Where's my wife? We love Michael.
