Fred Wesley - Damn right I'm somebody

[@dfreeman120]

Don Freeman here. I was the MD/ keyboardist with Sister Sledge when we played in Zaire 74’ with James Brown headlining the show. I was getting off the plane and got a Polaroid of myself and the great Fred Wesley on the runway. That was a life changing couple of weeks.Bomaye ❤

[@rayburton4867]

Damn Fred Wesley and company sounds as funky as they wanna be!

[@toneyam3643]

Fred Wesley did it again, my favorite cat I grew up listening to, Fred was and still is the God Father's, "James Brown's," brightest star along with Bootsy Collins, Fred is the next generation God Father of soul and Funk..

[@luisalvaradoquesada2427]

Fred Wesley, excelente trombonista donde los haya.

[@-dash]

that bass tone is crispy ill tell you what

[@trobson9952]

Keeping it funky. The best drums.

[@SoerenAU]

just a pity' you can't turn back time, to be there actually, then. A very finely tuned YT' record in treble' and bass, congrats' to Wes' and his new J.B.'s

[@sefodez]

I watched this video in 2015 like 2 months after it was posted here and I never forgot this song and I'm here today. September 2021 from Guatemala.

[@sefodez]

2015 the first time I watched this video. I can't still believe this song makes me feel the same. Listen to the bass lines and that groove. 2023 THE GOAT

[@jackburton2680]

Still no idea what phase 4 means, but this is the greatest thing Wesley has ever done and one of the greatest gifts to mankind

[@7deepbreaths.sounds]

🤣😆... been trying dicipher that lyric for years...but yeah...i am writing an arrangement for this now and this live version really helps out

[@frankv2768]

I seen Mr. Wesley in San Francisco a few years ago it was a hit. On this song the drummer was spot on and the horns the best . Would love to see Mr.Wesley in Germany in November. Thank you for blessing all of us that follow you.

Now that’s music, these cats know how to play, Mr. Fred Wesley, the funkiest Trombone player there is!

[@JordanCarterTrombone]

I like at 2:51 when the saxophonist and drummer co-ordinate that note together. The whole piece is fantastic, though.
