[@pradheesandeepana]

is it normal to cry after watching this ?

[@robertjohnson3855]

With all the new technology you still cannot beat the sound of the Hammond B-3 Keyboard and the Leslie rotating speaker. Thy have an amazing unbeatable sound and these guys do ir right. Absolute perfection, The girls harmony is right on . The groove is smooth. I could listen to this jam all night long. Thanks for the great music and amazing funky groove. Wish there were more bands like this to go out and listen to live. Thanks 1000 times. Made my night.

@@JoeMM5 Stayin’ Alive is a funk song lol. It’s clearly derivative of Stevie Wonder’s Superstition, and the only reason it’s called disco is cause it came out in 1977.

Achenar Myst sorry, but that’s not the olympics... there is no „best jazz keyboarder worldwide”. chick corea, jacky terrasson, brad mehldau, keith jarrett, herbie hancock, joe zawinul, mccoy tyner: just to name a FEW. these are or have been fantastic jazz pianists and keyboarders. who should be the second best worldwide? third? besides that, cory henry is more on the phunky side of things... which doesn’t mean that’s worse. but put it for instance against herbie hancocks impressiv lifework and you will find there is still quite a difference...
