Forget Me Nots - Patrice Rushen (Smooth Jazz Family)

Here's a clip of Patrice Rushen performing at the Temecula Wine and Music Festival. Enjoy and "Stay Smooooth". smoothjazzfamily

[@WTHFX]

I love that it's not only Freddie on bass, but that is the same 1973 Precision bass he recorded the track with. Absolutely perfect, crushing, endless groove. This band is fantastic!

[@omoniyikaye]

Yes Mr. Freddie 'Ready" Washington he has one fantastic solo album titled "In The Moment" He also co-wrote this classic with Terri McFaddin.

[@WTBSLIVE]

THAT IS FREDDY HUH?? Dopeness 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Justme77400]

Great bass line on this song! Freddie is great!

[@leevuong8843]

What a bassline. 40 years old and perhaps the best R&B bass line. Ever.

[@DedByMonday]

Freddy Washington on the popping and slapping bass guitar, ladies and gentleman! a Living Legend right there! Look at him....thats a man that loves the hell out of his music even after all the years!

[@larryhall2805]

👍🏼Then that must be Paul Jackson Jr. playing guitar.

[@AmirKhan-yv8jm]

Any idea when this live performance actually took place? Thanks in advance!

[@willhoepo1378]

Steady Freddie 🔥🔥🔥

[@ssdtrain1]

people don't realize how "BADASS" Patrice Rushen really was.. She could play everything..

[@davidespinosa1910]

Nonsense -- she's still a badass, better than ever !

[@arcticmorning]

amazing... this is the first time ive seen her perform .... WOW....

[@andyhinds542]

What do you mean "was"?? She still is.

[@melsmithmel]

That’s why Prince admired her !

[@kelvinjones2862]

Yes she's one of my favorites

[@Ponch341]

Such a great Performance of this Amazing classic! And topping it off with Lenny Castro on congas, one of the most recorded and sought after percussionists in the business..🎶🎼🎵

[@jonesy381]

bass player working by far the hardest!!!

[@stacyrenee4825]

YESSS!!! That is Mr. Fred D. Washington Jr. aka Ready Freddie playin that bass!!! He walks that groove EVERYTIME!!! ..he has played with just about everybody..

[@jonesy381]

Ah great. I must follow him then as I appreciate a good bass line. And that is a killer.

[@ssdtrain1]

that bro is concentrating real hard !!, cuz Patrice can play that bass line just as good as he can lol..

[@davidsanderson5918]

Can you sing that high Simon Jones? :)

[@whittaks215]

As Always. 😂🍺

[@spaceseer]

This is so awesome, what a solid performance, what a blast to have been there!

[@dwftube]

The guitarist is Paul Jackson Jr. - most people watching this will have no idea how many records they have heard his playing on. His CV is like a 'Who's who' of pop and soul.

[@princehirachan7039]

I like 'Personal Touch' from his solo album. Like to listen to it while I'm travelling.

[@tonysoprano6265]

Love that you bring light to the guitarist I will look into him

[@ameliopompeo5722]

Good point but also the bassist is “ready” Freddie Washington who also has a huge list on his CV ! Toured with many greats including Micheal Jackson ! 👍🏽

[@dwftube]

@@ameliopompeo5722 Yes of course. And, lets be honest, this is a catchy song but we are talking about it in 2022 because of his bass line and it's umpteen samplings.

[@princebuster93]

@ dwf, thanks for sharing 👍👏🏻👏🏻🔥💥🙂❤️

[@kristi94]

This song is gold. The bass player is 👌, Patrice is queen, and of course much love for the Guitarist and drummer!

[@fkay153]

Freddy Washington on that bass... How he slaps it with such easiness deserves a whoole documentary on itself

[@baltapaulaxl]

Did you guys even notice Paul Jackson Jr on the guitar?? That small stage is full of legends😳

[@romulus_]

one of the greatest rhythm guitar players of all time. insane lineup.

[@ramu853]

Lol...most musicians know who’s on the stage.... music lovers in general won’t know.

[@DavidJones-hd7jj]

The first guy i recognised.

[@tomwaters3029]

Then it pans across to Lenny Castro! CRAZY

[@geraldrogers3626]

Ready Freddie Washington on bass

[@danmccarthy4700]

I can't love this enough.

[@bernlin2000]

Freddie Washington is a legend! Huge session player, but also a long-time live bass player for the stellar Steely Dan band. Truly the backbone of their sound today

[@trevorlindsey580]

That IS the band! Paul, Freddie and Patrice. Patrice is the greatest! Also one of the kindest and cool people you could ever hope to meet. Heck, when I was a kid, she took the time to hang with me, and to this day I appreciate it.

[@christinamitchell6796]

That's a nice memory to have

[@jadeangelica]

Prince was crazy about Patrice!

[@revinzimages1525]

This bass line mezmerized me as a learner bassist when this song came out. Just had to learn it and still play it today. And here's the man himself playing his own line. Go Freddie.

[@SmartBrandon72]

TOTAL OBEISANCE & RESPECT TO THIS QUEEN!!!! I LOVE PATRICE RUSHEN SINCE CHILDHOOD!!!

[@shawnswint1521]

DaCosmic Same Here. Hail to Queen Patrice!!!

[@Petlover10000]

This song brings back a lot of good time memories, wish could turn back time.

[@Luakoa5]

She sounds great - funky bass awesomeness

[@tfl4963]

💯💯💯💯✔✔💲💲💲💲

[@KeithCopeland778]

What a classic groove that was co-written by living legend bassist Freddie Washington!!!! Patrice is soooo underrated as a musician and composer!!! Paul Jackson Jr. is a studio legend!!!

[@drcpilotflyer]

Bassist nailed the tune and awesome tone. Great playing sir ,

[@SmoothJazzFamily]

He is the original Bass player from the recording, Freddie Washington.

[@drcpilotflyer]

+Smooth Jazz Family thanks for the info. He is one of the best in the world. ...

[@Aesop101]

He’s a legend

[@jmw0368]

So he should, as it’s all his!

[@MP-rj1ud]

Patrice is Soul, Funk, Jazz Genius

[@chrisburge9718]

She pulled out the keytar! That's how you give a show!

[@lifeworksndhenterprisesllc6597]

chris burge that's the Instrument George Duke done his 77-81 epic album.

[@CJMusashi87]

That was so FIRE badass now I have to get one now 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Giant of the genre! The Patrice and the band - superb. I remember this album and played it constantly in the vehicle. Remember when people played instruments?

[@workout74]

[@stephenburks7895]

Noons mentioned about Guitarist Paul Jackson Jr.!!! Almost every song in the late 70’s and 80’s was studio with him for a 45/33 .5 He is a LEGEND!!!

[@kurtblickenderfer4486]

A great singer but also an absolute killer keyboard player. Super talent!

[@josezamudio6412]

Wow! With Paul Jackson Jr.!

[@flowerbedmusic2674]

Iconic bassline played by the main man. Awesome

[@kyngkraken8695]

She is still beautiful 80’s memories with my mom 😢

[@filedroid]

This is music! Back from the days when singing and being a good musician mattered.

[@sylvaindescoteaux6959]

best 1982 disco song !!! (the most addictive beat and best rythm for me ever ...this song is the best discco song ever in my mind) !!!

[@XMAN4708]

OLD SKOOL BUMP!!! WHAT MEMORIES!!! 🔥🎯😎

[@eravelo]

A team of ALL STARS!

[@laming2006]

Wow, what talent on that stage. Didn't realize that Patrice was SO versatile and talented until I started listening to more of her music in addition to "Forget Me Nots". And that bass player, LORDY that bass player! "Ready" Freddie Washington. SO solid and his timing is impeccable. And yup... that's one of the baddest bass lines to ever hit the airwaves! Love watching this performance. Sure wish Patrice and this band was touring. Wife and I would drive several hours in order to hear them.

[@musicianforreal464]

That bass player is off the chain!!!!

[@davidsanderson5918]

laming2006 Check out not just Patrice’s albums but also her keyboard work on Jean Luc Ponty’s fusion albums ‘Upon The Wings Of Music’ and ‘Aurora’.....before she became a hit, she was already a serious virtuoso playing with ex-Frank Zappa musos and smashing it up with her solos and jazz voicings. She got da funk, yes.....but she’s a player, orchestrator, arranger, songwriter. And an inspiration frankly.

[@gentrydaniels]

We just used PJ Jr. on our album Soulmate, by Melanie Andrews (Janet Jackson). He is fantastic. The song is called, All I Need.

[@chiaraeluna1306]

Luv this woman!!

[@edwinabraham1735]

1982 40 yrs. Ago .

[@lamsior]

Paul Jackson on guitar, he was the guitarist of Michael Jackson....only legends on this stage :)

[@MississippiGirl0103]

Oh myyyyyyy they playing the heck out those instruments 🎺💃🏽💃🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jacklowe3788]

That Cat shorely rocking the bass! Old School-

[@paolozak3014]

Fantastic Freddie Washington so perfect groove and bass tone !

[@monsterMike62]

Gotta love Freddie Washington's bass playing on this hit. They're all GREAT! Lots of health and good things to all of 'em especially Patrice.

[@kevinw7419]

What a great funk Grove, its up There with the Best. What a tremendous Bass line to get into!!

[@MichaelDooleyProject]

This is great. I just spun this vinyl so I came here to see what vids I might find and am so thrilled to see this!

[@allisonnovak500]

This vid is the next best thing to being there!

[@Evertlabastida]

I like the bass, same as he did during recording. He never change the tune the way he play in 1973.. awesome

[@miloswanson9646]

40+ years since release later, and this is still GOLD!!!

[@TheAslakVind]

Fred Washington! It ice ice cold today that tight bass line!

[@bassisthenrik]

What a gathering of legendary groove masters.
