"Soul Serenade" (live) King Curtis & The Kingpins

King Curtis' signature song...fittingly, this was also played by an all-star band at his 1971 funeral. The young Reverend Jesse Jackson led the church service with mourners such as Stevie Wonder, Duane Allman and Aretha Franklin in attendance.

I loved the tenor version that was recorded 40 years ago on vinyl and lost it. Anybody know where I can get another copy?

[McGarVision]

that's becaise they asked King Curtis to tour with them and love his work. There are some bootlegs of King Curtis appearing in concert with the Allmans

One bootleg is King Curtis live with Delaney and Bonnie and Friends and also Duane and Greg Allman. A 1971 NY radio concert broadcast

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.

I type in King Curtis and all I see is this loud fat kid running around. What the hell.

@McGarVision I saw the Allman Brothers live in concert the day after King Curtis died in Richmond, Va. and they declined to play an encore because they were so bummed out about it.

Hail to the King..!!! Yes, this is the man, that I grew up listening to. I'm a child born in the late 60's, and this song was one of the songs I had to listen to every weekend...ALL weekend.  I probably knew about "King Curtis" before I knew my own name. Now that I am older and wiser...this song, I now listen respectfully and enjoyingly. Truly, he was a talented and gifted man. Although he lost his life tragically, may he rest in peace.
