Any of you know which bass player this is - Jerry Jermott?? and Keyboards?? 'Presume that is Cornell Dupree playin guitar.. would like to know- thanks!
Truman Thomas, on organ , Bernard Purdie on drums, and yes, CL Dupree on guitar and Jerry Jemott on bass. The Kingpins were simply awesome and King Curtis' untimely death was an obscenity.
Thanks Guitarnut58 - you are so right about the way King Curtis was lost to us - I remeber listening to that sweet saxophone playing on my first KC album 'Live at Small's Paradise' and then reading my way through the sleeve notes and then stumbling across that dreadful paragraph saying how he died in such a violent way - probably over an argument that could have been sorted out somehow - An apalling waste and I think of it every time I watch the vid's. Your guitar playing going well??

King Curtis is the greatest ever. Too bad some punk took his live for no reason.
