Aretha with King Curtis, Jerry Jemmott, Cornell Dupree, Bernard Purdie

[@cynthiahines3599]

Damn, damn, damn!!! This is why I love KZbin so much. We get to see these gems years after these beautiful performances were made. Rest in Peace King and Queen. They don't make 'em like this any more.

[@stephensuddick1896]

When R&B legend Otis Redding, who wrote and first recorded “Respect,” heard Aretha Franklin’s version of the song, he reportedly said, “well, I guess it’s that girl’s song now.”

[@spigmu2274]

What a wonderful piano player Aretha was!!

[@hansjessulat7678]

Amazing Aretha Great back up band.😊😊

[@SuperSstjohn]

Jerry, I know you already know this but you are part of the greatest night in the history of music recorded in early March 1971 at the Fillmore West with two amazing albums. To have you, Cornell and Bernard on the same stage as Aretha, Ray Charles, Billy Preston, King Curtis and the Memphis Horns, tell me a better band. You're a living legend

[@chilblain1]

A Goddamn men.

[@myroncohen7619]

I was there with Keith Knudsen and Philip Wilson behind the curtain and later behind the Hammond!!By far the greatest Show I ever saw!!King Curtis conducting…Great Indeed!!

[@edmondutleyjr.4504]

Truth.

[@EugeneFrench]

I think this filmed at the Montreux Jazz festival.

[@weavethehawk]

Her great piano playing is often overlooked. It was pure gospel.

[@stuartholme4457]

Seriously, I've never heard her playing, at least not like this. Really great playing!

[@johnalexander4757]

My Love for SOUL MUSIC LED ME TO THESE GEMS.

[@dfreeman120]

100% saw her 2 or 3 times live, once at The Latin Casino Cherry Hill NJ, Roxy Theater Los Angeles and another at a theater on Wilshire, once at IHOP !

[@JC-11111]

They called him King Curtis for a reason. Rest in Eternal Peace, brother! Thank you for the legacy and the music you left us. Thank you, King Curtis. ❤️🎷🙏😎🎸

[@saxyjones]

Hear Hear Sir.

[@kingtrippy5006]

Pretty Purdie on drums adds so much soul

[@michaelblake5064]

Thanks to Duane Allman for talking about King Curtis on an Allman Brothers live recording in 1971.... hes a new discovery for me.... wow, what amazing talent, what a band.

[@anjelheaven]

Aretha sang "Never Grow Old" at King Curtis' funeral in 1971. I bet she raised the hairs on all those in mourning that day!

[@murraypettinger7039]

One of the great shows on KZbin is a James Brown special featuring Aretha and Wilson Pickett, with Joe Cocker singing When a Man Loves a Woman

[@toneyhorton3703]

Sweet inspirations Wow 😅Church on Sunday morning !!!

[@elemsit]

Wish I could like this video a thousand times.

[@d.l.3168]

To me the greatest female performer ever. She's got something there in her throat that brings chills to my whole body

[@allen6924]

Aretha and the bass player are front and center, with her sweet inspirations right there. That's an amazing band behind her people. But she is the 🌟

[@stuartholme4457]

No doubt!! Everyone knows she's the star. There will never be another like her.

[@pauletteforman]

Wow! The Greats all together in one room.....AWESOME!!! Missing Aretha and King Curtis!

[@davedoyle9623]

Aretha deserved the best. Best band, best audience.

[@sharplessguy]

I got to meet her, briefly, during her appearance at Essence Fest. Imagine meeting the woman of your dreams and finding out that she's the sweetest woman that you've ever had the pleasure to have met. I will never forget how down to earth and real she was.... I would have moved mountains for her.

[@euromarquee]

THE BASS! THE BASS! I'm dyin' here!

[@pac289]

Stunned by the bass playing ..the band are brilliance..then there's Aretha...the next level.

[@donmacdonell9375]

Wow , Aretha had wings and was soaring, the King kept the beat, and the Sweet Inspirations were so sweet. Thank you Harry for giving us back such a wonderful moment.

[@vino881-f8t]

Just and simply the best! Thought your not with us, your very much around. Much love Ré. ❤️

[@hansjessulat7678]

Top musicians we were blessed to witness.😊

[@fredAlexander62]

Aretha and the bass player need to get room. they doing there thing right in front of everybody playing Natural Woman, What a Show!!!

[@brucekeddyarmstrong]

Thanks for posting this. It's magical.

[@polotrey]

Wow. Aretha was a sight to behold.. will always miss her

[@sashineb.2114]

Yes, and when this era was happening, she was on the radio all of the time. It was a great time to witness soul music at its best.

[@ninjavigilante5311]

She was awesome on piano as well.

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

ReRe could have sung the Blues as well as played the Blues on Keys with brilliance and soulful energy. Here was King Curtis hitting those Altissimo Out-of-range High Notes with the ease of "a bolt from the blue" - 1971, eh! In this regard therefore, the King begot, among others: Grover Washington, Jr. Ernie Watts Michael Brecker David Sanborn Marc Russo Gerald Albright Nelson Rangell... Big sister Erna - "Take A Little Piece Of My Heart" - and little sister Carol were just as fabulous as middle sister Aretha. RIP, loved ones! Lohvissimo!

[@ninjavigilante5311]

Damn when Aretha starts playing piano wow!

[@davidmiller4078]

Well ive got to admit after having grew up with Arethas music ide thought ide heard al her stuff but this was what real music is to me exciting moving and so up lifting muchas gracias for posting amigos

[@fintanoclery2698]

[@frankcanino7768]

GOLD!! Unfortunately we can't hear Dupree but other wise awesome!!!

[@kevinbowler1103]

i kept listening . . . but he's pretty well buried.

[@bluesoulreggae1356]

The beginning when Aretha asks "how long is King gonna be on for?" while King Curtis and the band are playing their sublime version of Whiter Shade of Pale.

[@woodbell67]

Thank you, friend!

[@chilblain1]

Jerry Jemmot!!!!!!!

[@chilblain1]

That’s some GOD DAMN BASS GUITAR. Earned his spot in AF’s band. Owned his spot. Also Bernard Purdie!!!! Props to Cornell Dupree. Atlantic. Will never be recreated, remotely, ain’t even near/close/within proximity. Distant. JERRRY JEMMOT!!!!!

[@chilblain1]

You Goddamn Right! ( understatement ). Awe.

[@chilblain1]

I agree with my assessment.

[@isaacleedrums]

Check this sick Pretty Purdie lick @ 7:40!! That was fire!!!!

[@Onlythetruth247]

[@tonysmith5878]

LOOK AT THE LINEUP ON THE THUMBNAIL!!!!!!!!!

[@erikt454]

What a great era for music. Funny to see the Queen casually smoking before the show. Sad that King Curtis would be murdered a couple of. months later.

[@mao83434]

c'est la reine de la musique think a little bit

[@Yetipfote]

1:50 I certainly am NOT looking at her eyes! O_O

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

No, but here it is. It's the Montreux, Switzerland concert of 1971. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmSvoXejd7Wogpo

[@wesmotown]

It cut off when she started singing don't play that song. .. is there a full version of this concert?

[@mikegraziano1562]

Does anyone know if there is a video of King Curtis's band that was on just before this concert? It was the "warmup band" but to me it was the best part of the show!

Check out Champion Jack Dupree & King Curtis live at the Montreux Jazz Festival on You Tube. Aretha is in the Audience watching .

[@gmoneyslowdance5510]

Aretha may be the greatest female vocal ever. Name one better

I have a close friend who would argue Mahalia Jackson. Either way, I'm glad I get to listen to both of them.

im white as a mf could get, but god i love black people.

[@nnmuz-kt9wk]

What the hell happened to music? All,the beautiful humanity and emotion is gone replaced by money making formulas and gimmicks. Just another example of the decline of our society

[@mrufino1]

Sad statement. I wish it wasn’t so accurate. There’s still beautiful music though, just not on mainstream radio or TV.

[@snakefich]

Wow

[@shnootch]

This one never phoned it in

Year ?

Where's the rest of the fucking show?
