I dare you...move your body to this. better than any exercise class ever!!!

What a terrific song... a full-out swinging piece with great solos... This is a phenomenally talented singer fronting a first class band. Listen up, people!!!

Damn...could ther be a better love gone wrong song?..yearning...I loved it 40 years ago...and still find it heartbreaking...

I was fortunate enough to hear TC play this in various clubs all over the north side of Chicago... Wise Fools, The Bulls, Quiet Knight,and of course The Earl of Old Town. This song has haunted me for nearly 40 years now...nothing on earth is better than hearing it live...just TC and his guitar. ...

I've loved Esther Phillips for decades...she has been astonding since her early years with Johnny Otis...but I had never heard this before tonight. Sublime!!! And has anyone heard her do the old Blind Lemon Jefferson song "Graveyard Blues/See That My Grave is Kept Clean? Someone played it for ...

Good God, this was recorded nearly 50 years ago...and Mark Murphy was sounding like a fully realized artist. then. But man, there was a whole lot more to come...50 years of exploration and invention...and there is simply not a finer singer anywhere than MM.

Dobie Gray has been singing it real and true for around 40 years now. This is marvelous...give it a listen!

What a treasure! Thanks so much for posting this. I lived in Chicago in the early 70's...just steps from the Old Town School of Folk Music. John Prine, Stevie Goodman, Mike Smith, Terry Callier and sweet Bonnie...could the music have possibly been any better? I lost my copy of this record in ...

Miss Polly is a class woman....and sings like she lives it!!

Thanks so much for posting this. Somewhere there is video of Ella singing this on Japanese TV. I saw it years ago when Geoffrey Mark Fidelman was touring promoting his book on E;;a, "First Lady of Song". I stopped my conversation with him when the clip came up...this had always been a favorite...

Bill Homans a/k/a Watermelon Slim chained himself to a light pole in front of the White House.. Having been a fan of the man for years...both his music, and his deeply considered take on the human condition ... I am not surprised. But where was the press on this? Corporate media strikes agai...

This is from her 1971 album "The Word Needs What I Need" ...and if you can find it buy it at any cost! It is a masterpiec!!!. Irene Reid should have been celebrated for the immense talent she had....but pretty much stayed a New York area secret. Her career also suffered from too many comparisio...

Gorgeous...Esther Phillips was so gifted...she needs to be so much better known so more people can enjoy her remarkable soul. And has anyone ever heard her do "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean"? Tremendous...someone played it for me years ago but I haven't seen it on YouTube yet.

Thanks EchoesBlue...for those of you who don't know...Richard Hite is the bass player singing backup. The guitarist singing lead is James Shane. Henry Vestine is on Guitar, Ed Beyer on organ, Fito on drums and of course Bob Hite was on stage! Richard Hite was a lovely man...he told me he had p...

@ HAAKIE 48... FYI...Bob Hite's brother Richard told me that Bob had held back release of the Canned Heat version of this song so that Wilbert Harrison had a chance to have a hit with it first....just a little additional info to back up your post.

Lenoir was working with a political awareness earlier than most musicians...black or white. Listen t o Born Dead...where he writes a" black baby born in Mississippi is born dead"...or his later Vietnam Blues. I wonder if Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye listened to him...or Gil Scott Heron?

What a glorious posting. thank you, Pedro. The are a few moments of musical perfection...and you captured one here. My esteem for both men was enhanced by this collaboration.

@sassyjass...didn't Ella describe Mark Murphy as" the jazz singer's jazz singer"?

I've always thought that when Mark Murphy starts singing he is on a voyage of discovery. He is wildly explorative and unpredictable...but always magnificent!

This man is genius...check out the extended versions of this Horace Silver tune he does on youtube. They (especially the Blue Note clips) are wildly explorative. Mark Murphy is always magnificent and unpredictable.

I love this guy. Gotta do some research and find out more about him.

his is an absolute delight! Darlene is such an amazing singer....as she says...she recorded this in 1964...can you imagine holding those notes after 46+ years!!! A very big Thank You to whoever posted this...this made my day. And as someone who has a lifetime love affair with Memphis music...t...

There is no place on earth better than The Green Mill almost any night...but when Kurt and Company are playing it rises to sublime. Can you tell I'm homesick for Chicago and the Mill tonight? Thanks so much for posting this.

@MikeBlitzMag...loved this and loved the 2010 Joyce Cobb and Michael Jefry Stevens version, too. It inspired me to go back and find the original on YouTube. I hadn't heard the original in years...

Whoever identified this photo as being of Richard Hite and Alan is wrong: ... Richard and Alan were close friends and hung together; but the photo is of Bob Hite and Alan.

Thank you sterlingtv!. This is marvelous stuff...your Ronnie Barron postings of both this gig and the more intimate clips of Ronnie playing and working thru new material are both priceless. What a talent he had...warmth and graciousness are all over these tapes. Just want you to know how much ...

This swings!! More people should know about Ronnie Barron...what a talent he had. The bass player sounds like he went to the Larry Taylor school of bassology!!

Thank yo so much for posting these clips. Seeing Ronnie exploring his song on an unfamiliar keyboard just shows how really creative he was. What a charming man

I can't believe this has been up for 6 months and no one has commented yet! This is one fearless singer with a fiery band...the blues is definitely yours, Reba!!!!

Take a good look at the bass player on the far right. That is a very young Larry "The Mole" Taylor from Canned Heat! He was maybe 16 or 17 at the time.

Very nicely done...makes me want to visit Enid in April!

Brilliant!!!

My God...I just found out about Freddie Roulette tonight ...thank you YouTube!! This man is magic!!!

@MrAttPatt If those 21 children are just 1% as talented as their remarkable father they will enrich us all. Open your heart and your mind!!!

Thank you, swinginkatz and vova47... for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to respond to my question. I remember an Irene Reid album I bought in the 70's...and played constantly for quite a while. 30+ years and several moves have separated me from it...but it was called "The World Need...

C'est Magnifique!
