Billy Taylor Meets Les McCann - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free

[@MrNevenon]

I could listen to versions of this song all day long. So smooth, but yet in its message serious and deep.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Yes, we love Solomon Burke!

[@bfunirfeyh5822]

Hi Jazz Video Guy I SWEAR you had another version of this years ago. With Taylor and another black guy in a black suit. Was a duet, but they had a piano each. Where’s it gone!!!

[@Anne-ku3lj]

Dear jazz video guy. Did Les McCann die on Sunday? If so it’s uncanny that I heard him here for the first time, on the very weekend that he passed. Rest in peace Mr MCann and Mr Taylor.

[@gmonet46]

Two NC artists getting down. I hear so many folks say BT was underrated...only by the ignorant.

[@LAbackandbody]

les is from kentucky.

[@gmonet46]

LAbackandbody Correct, and I poorly stated that they did their time here in NC at various points of their lives. Thanks for getting that straight. I have done artwork for both men.

[@liquidbronstein]

From Bach to Beethoven.. to the Brothers.

[@Anne-ku3lj]

From Bach to Beethoven, Billy tailor to Les McCann 😉

[@phoebeflanders]

Like reading history . . . if you lose the downbeat, you need to go back and pick it up, lest you nod at the wrong thing

[@JazzVideoGuy]

good ear

[@staysmuth]

Did Billie write the song ?

[@Pensfold]

Nina Simone wrote the song

[@staysmuth]

@@Pensfold nope, Billie did after all

[@Pensfold]

You're right, Billy Taylor wrote the song. Nina Simone had a hit with it.

[@bodhid]

@@Pensfoldcheck before commenting. That’s the problem with people being certain when they’re actually wrong.
