Joe Sample & Randy Crawford - Rio de Janeiro Blue

Joe Sample & Randy Crawford play Rio de Janeiro Blue at the Vitoria Jazz Festival

[@martinplatt5928]

Joe's piano style was very special. He played from the heart....he had groove. He wasn't a 'technician jazz pianist'....he was a 'groove jazz pianist'....my favourite. His passing was a shock....along with George Duke. They are playing up in heaven now. RIP Joe.

Randy Crawford is beautiful. Beautiful voice! Joe Samples-wow!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@milenkovic1309]

The beautiful, unique, divine and timeless voice of diva Randy Crawford...!

[@robertball7762]

Does she have to be another Diva ?

[@theblessedblackwoman]

Timeless. She got me through nursing school over 30yrs ago. I still get goosebumps listening to her.xx

[@theblessedblackwoman]

Just so beautiful. I've been listening to her for over 30yrs.

[@AndreaRJames]

Nancy Wilson’s timeless talent is still worth listening to anytime. She is my FAVORITE all time Jazz singer. Her voice draws you in and won’t let you go.

[@Darrel-o1v]

I love Nancy too, but she wasn't in this video.

[@got2bharmony]

Heavenly, RIP Joe, thank you for your gift that we were fortunate to experience.

[@Darrel-o1v]

Joe Sample is the best thing that EVER came out of the 5th ward. He makes me proud to be from Houston. His playing wreaked and radiated sophistication. What a hit the music industry took upon his passing.

[@savvyvenus]

Love, love love Joe Sample and Randy!!! Doesn’t get any better than this!!

[@MrLittlefeat]

Your absolutely right.

[@ernestglover1966]

One of the best voices of all time ❤

[@stephenscott4166]

I played at a club on Sunset Blvd from 1985 to 1994. Nicky Blair’s was “THE” place to be. Every celebrity in the world would come to Nicky Blair’s. Joe Sample was a regular, he would spend hours by my piano, we would talk all through the evening. Yes, he would sit in and amaze us all, but he liked my style and we had a great time together. When “Street Life” came out, Randy Crawford would come in with Joe. They would basically stand around the piano while I played my sets, we talked, laughed and shared the time. Nicky Blair’s was truly a hangout for the Stars. Billy Preston sat at the 1st table by my piano, he dug the bass setup I was using, I played a single, but, sounded like a trio, piano, synth bass, and rhythm unit. He asked what bass combinations I was using on the bass, I told him and he asked if he could use that “Sound”, “Well yeah!” I had years of meeting with the top of the Hollywood and Music biz crowd, what a thrill it was. There has never been a better “Hollywood Scene” than Nicky Blair’s. Period!

Sensacional Randy Crawford and Joe Sample. Infelizmente os brasileiros não curtem nada que é bom nem o "Rio de Janeiro Blues". Estou feliz ouvindo essa diva da canção americanda, em 2023/agosto.

[@isabellefontebasso310]

Eu curto!!! e olha que sou nova.

[@dee6965]

Randy Crawford's voice is so soothing 😌 💯

[@rickblackers88]

Randy Crawford is the best singer in the world,easy!

[@RFDlic]

Her voice is so powerful, she carries the mic more like a candle. :D. I've seen it live 1990 in Munich. The high and loud tones needed the whole length of her arm. That was playing with funky R&B ensemble. Normal singers more eat the microphone. When young Randy came to choral rehearsal late, many singers stop singing. Either they want to listen, or they can't hear themselves anymore. She is my absolutely favorite since many decades.

[@albinahajd4451]

absolutely correct

[@diserdiser2216]

Joe & Randy ls simply wonderful ! Very rare people.

[@pauldecastro8921]

Oh what a perfect performance! We all miss the late Mr. Joe Sample so much. Everything Randi Crawford sang with Joe Sample and also the Crusaders, especially Street Life was wonderful!

[@babinimaneli8306]

[@tonyalbergottie1223]

While it's an effort for my brain to conjure up descriptive and concise terms in order to remember the gifts of ARTISTS like RANDY CRAWFORD, I know she has always been " STILL AROUND. NEITHER LOST." I will not let go of her voice channeling a song JAZZ FAMOUS and featured of course on the SHARKY"S MACHINE movie soundtrack, starring Burt Reynolds?! Yes I remember that! I also sing of "MUSIC IN THE NIGHT!" To my father MR. ALBERGOTTIE and the STREET LIFE of a generation that has left me HEALING, bless Miss RANDY CRAWFORD!

Rio de Janeiro Blue Randy Crawford The clouds come on creepin' and you got me weepin' this moment I can't believe you're really gonna leave this town Everyone knows, I can't make a move with you You're turnin' my whole world, upside down And I get a feelin' that I've seen the last of you Rio de Janeiro Blue The salty air, your wind blown hair, reflections on a dream Thoughts of you with who knows who, flowin' through me like a stream Brazilian serenades, linger on, on Help me lose my soul, in your song And I get a feelin', that I've seen the last of you Rio de Janeiro Blue, Rio de Janeiro blue Months go by, I wounder why, I'm left here on my own Could it be my destiny, is to live this life alone These dark and rainy days have turned me cold Long and sleepless nights, gettin' on And I get a feelin' that I've seen the last of you Rio de Janeiro Blue, Rio de Janeiro blue Rio, Rio de Janeiro Blue Long and sleepless nights Rio, Rio

[@smyffmawzz]

Great song . Randy as clear and crisp as always . Spoiled ( for me ) by the Piano solos . Can't get into his flat , off key meanderings! lol . Oh well . There are others . Otherwise Fabulous !

[@juliafrancesconi9751]

Thank you for your uninformed and super bourgeois comment - you are obviously beyond any understanding.Way far out.This experience with Joe Sample and Joe Crawford is what open minded people call: MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT AT IT`s BEST AND A BRILLIANT SINGER!

[@habsom1406]

When I was barely a teenager, I disliked this kind of music and especially hated this kind of 'piano meanderings', but now several decades later, these same meanderings reach parts of my brain that other music fails to reach, it's quite intoxicating. I love how it seems to go off and also intertwines with the main tune at the same time. Maybe it's an age thing but to me it's cohesively exquisite. I guess everyone experiences music differently and even that isn't set in stone! 😎
