I enjoyed his commentary on the 'music of today'. He's quite correct --- when computers came along, musicianship and artistry went right out the window. It seems that rather than LEARN HOW to play an instrument, musicians are content with pressing buttons and making sounds which make no sense. I wish people would take example from artists like Archie Bell and other [jazz musicians especially] of that and prior eras.

Oops...supposed to be a THUMBS UP and I can't change it!! I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Bell at a club I was spinning tunes at in Knoxville TN in '89. I got to introduce Archie Bell and the Drells and enjoy the show! What a great guy...he stuck around after the show and autographed records and hung out with all of the crowd. Great guy and so down to earth. If Archie Bell's on stage, "I Could Dance All Night!!"

He's right. This is one of the first tunes you had to learn as a musician. I learn both bass and rythym guitar part.

I'm so glad Archie didn't go to Viet Nam !!! We could've lost a great soul master.
