Loved the vid and Butter always- Sam Lay- always was a class guy..

Corky Siegel cracked me up with his condescending self importance - holding his fingers "this much soul" - what BS

Butter had more to 'say' in one solo than Corky's whole bag of tricks!

@paulklee Corky is the man, he is one great player...but, I love your comment. If I were explaining 'this much soul' about Butter I wouldn't be able to spread my arms wide enough.... Thanks for watching, we hope to add to all this soon....

there is no audio sound?? who has the shit to do that? someone needs to have the feeling of control? I ask nicely...can we all get to hear a bit of music history again....

[DharmaBum333]

DITTO, until we work this out with WMG I'm going to leave this up. We have an agreement from them that we are allowed to use the sound. So, we hope this will be soon. I'd rather have a portal for Butterfield fans than nothing at all.

We'll keep you posted, the documentary production moves forward, and we have some great things going on this spring.

Thanks!

Why not just pull the whole video...there is no sound on this DOCUMENTARY!! Really stupid!

[DharmaBum333]

Hi Jettbugg, we have had ongoing discussions with Warner Music about this clip. We have permission to use the music in this and the other clip on this youtube page. As we near resolution, we are keeping the clip up until this is completely take care of. We will probably re-load the video when all is resolved. Thanks for your interest.

Met him at the Lone Star Cafe NYC 1977 or 78 , I was 16 . He shook my hand &  asked me for $50.00 bucks .

Paul was also a wonderful singer blessed with truly great pipes and a whole truckload of soul. Beautiful singer, great tone a range.

What a great thing this is. I never saw this before. This is 2011 and have know this artist since the 70's. Wow! amazing!

Hello and thank you for making the effort to get Paul Butterfield more widely appreciated. I was lucky enough to be in my high school years from 68 to 70 and I worked the horn section LPs so deep into my brain that I can almost hear every note in my head. There's a great deal of great music left us by many artists, but Paul is a giant in my book.
