Black Night -- Charles Brown blues

[@BedeYahEmmanuel]

Damn! They hitting this cut note for note just like the 1951 recording! DAMN!!!

[@kurtzwar729]

The great Charles Brown. I caught him in Seattle at Jazz Alley years ago. Table next to Charles to watch to watch his hands. What a voice and pianist. Deep blues boys, oh Yeah!

[@joestephan1111]

No matter how good this is not about the guitar player. It's about Charles Brown one of the few true immortals of the Blues

[@gilbertocruz1683]

When Ray Charles says he was influenced by you you know you are top notch

[@henryprice6160]

My Dad was Korean war veteran plus Black Night as sung by Charles Brown was his song as given to me Henry Author Price Jr aka Kankan

[@bluesshuffleupagus2465]

The awesome thing about the blues is its "timelessness"...this song was originally recorded in 1950 or 1951 - just listened to it today on a blues compilation CD from local library. 70+ years later. Still. Awesome.

[@captlarry-3525]

One of our very greatest singer blues piano men ever..... unmistakable voice.

[@khouloudrhouma3047]

Please tell me the lyrics at the end when hé sings iv been a fool..

[@billhessell7875]

Great blues voice and pianist. Was on a blues cruise with Charles Brown and his group, will never forget the great music, dancing, and fun.

[@tine-massimotinetti771]

I love this song ❤

[@mjsssnchez7]

Este blues es genial, Charles Brown increíble y genial también Danny Caron a la guitarra, es especial su forma de interpretar...con un montón de matices....!!!!!!

[@BuckNekkid3000]

Charles wasn't just a great artist. He was sweetie pie of a person. Anyone that ever had the chance to spend any time with him at all can attest to that. As for Danny Caron? Class act all the way.

[@5thcorps]

The guitar player is incredible, intricate, expressive, explosive yet unintrusive. A real blues player.

[@tdunn789]

His name is Danny Caron. He lives in Oakland, California and led the band for Charles' comeback.

[@captlarry-3525]

got that right ! this is a tight ensemble... playing the shit out of this tune.... a great performance

[@silver-hammer]

Very T-Bone Walker riffs, which figures...!

[@Golden_Age_Flash_]

Yes..what a classic!

[@carrotpistachio8012]

Danny's blues is out of this world!

[@ChrisMacdonald-z8x]

Danny is such a great player

[@essiebryant2939]

[@californy13]

[@eric669]

Charles Brown was great, and I love the tasteful playing of Danny Caron.

[@jdhamiltonx2]

[@silver-hammer]

He and T-Bone Walker infuenced some of the greatest post-War musicians , B.B. King particularly..

[@Fuzzymomma]

Brilliant! One of my favourite songs!!!!

[@dillonblues]

yes yes a master of blues great song

[@mellodc]

The original guitarist on Black Night (ca 1951) was Jessie Ervin, who also plays on Fool's Paradise and others from that period. He toured with Charles as well and was married to his "niece", Joyce, for whom Charles' "Joyce's Boogie" is named.

[@rougeandrei9095]

Danny Caron - an underrated Blues Player

[@ChrisMacdonald-z8x]

For sure

[@bminorscales]

I'm so glad that KZbin has videos of this guy. I never saw him live. This is as close as I'll ever get but it's so fine. Get the original recording from the early fifties also. It'll break your heart.

[@indulgefirst27]

Woderful!! Had a helluva time finding him! He was one of the greatest and had such an impact on my early years Teench

[@Predicton]

This is what it's all about. Sensational. Great clip

[@henriqueramalho534]

is certainly among the top 5 players of all time blues

[@ennui406]

This is one of my favorites - thanx for posting! This is the movie "Johns" with alot of other Charles Brown tunes.

[@tvieso]

This is so so good and under-rated.

[@TheCHBMJ]

I got to be a good friend of Charles when his career was dead in the water. Before Alligator Records picked up ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD recorded under Blue Side Records that folded soon after and did not promote or distribute it. And before Bonnie Raitt took Charles on tour after she won the Grammy Awards. I had to create bookings to see Charles perform other than just at his apartment in Oakland. I got the original Chris Cain Band, (Liz, Robert, Noel, Ron, and Chris) to back him at the much nicer JJ's in Mountain View. This lists the WRITERS of this song as Jon Lord, Ian Paice, etc., members of DEEP PURPLE. They did NOT write this song.. I saw the original 45 at Charles apartment and it had a Jessie May Robinson listed under the title. As I recall the B-side was also written by her. When I met Charles, I had NO idea who he was, but when I first heard his play and sing, I wanted to know more about this man, which led to many visits to his apartment. Charles was LIVING the BLUES that he had sung about all those years before. Between Brue at Alligator and the timing of that tour with Bonnie, Charles again felt the love that he had deserved for all those lost years.

[@guitarcurtski64]

I love this stuff.I wish they had a live version of him doing knowbody knows.

[@reckonimokie]

Love Charles Brown.

[@barrelhousebonni]

One of my top piano heroes who can make you feel the song.

[@timcampbell921]

I just found out about Charles courtesy of a duet he did with Bonnie Raitt. His piano playing is of the charts. Making it sound similar to the jazz guitar he's duelling with is great.

[@jetsafox]

All I can say is"Wow!" So much cool, so much talent, by all. So well done by all. Thanks.

[@Elisterre]

Wow such a creative song, great improvising, love it

[@mellodc]
