DUKE AND GABBY.....2023 AND IT STILL BANGS!!!!!!!

[@cjbankston]

George may be gone but his music lives on. He will forever be a great influence to the jazz world.

[@mellejesaistout]

I went through 3 copies of this record. Yes, his music will live forever

[@lb8676]

last night Incognito played this song at Java Jazz Festival here in Jakarta. I was in tears because knowing that the legend is not here anymore still hurts. I am sure he was watching from the jazz heaven above!

He certainly was a genius and especially given the voice box mimics of 2024

[@fluidjazz]

George was a massive musical influence in my youth, seeing his son's eulogy at his funeral also confirmed to me what a genuine kind spirit he was.

[@deniseball9932]

OMG! Who is still listening to this. Can’t get enough of them. Priceless Performance! Truly Awesome. They give me happy chills!! Denise

What a killer Bass player too and a young drummer.What a groove these guys have.

[@omoniyikaye]

A GREAT MUSICIAN AND SO HUMBLE HE SIGNED 22 ALBUM COVERS FOR ME INCLUDING THIS CLASSIC. I DEDICATED OVER 30 OF HIS ALBUM COVERS ON FACEBOOK WHEN HE WAS HERE WITH US. HE CHATTED WITH ME FEW MONTHS BEFORE HE PASSED. HE SURELY KNOWS HOW TO TREAT HIS FANS. MR GEORGE DUKE REST IN PEACE.

[@laracroft9679]

This man is genius I saw him live in the 80s with Stanley Clark.. I feel very lucky to this day what a privilege . Did not know he passed to the other side.. Brazilian love affairs has to be up there with the greatest of all time. What's an incredible talent... Only the chosen ones have his gift

[@alverteswashington7067]

I fell in love with Gabriela’s oh so smooth and tranquil voice a few years ago. To see her having had a collaboration with one of the GREATEST OF ALL TIMES, Sir George Duke, really warms my heart! Thank you for posting this memory!

Good morning I saw g.duke in March to 2013 in Detroit Michigan before he passed away I love his music 🎵🎵🎶🎶.

[@trishcephus2064]

I love this man! George has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, he is the ultimate keyboard player, because he can play on any keyboard ever made! I cried when we lost his wonderful man because there will never be another like him! Rest in peace my musically gifted brotha!

[@paquetazo53]

Gabriela really touches this song with a great exposure of musical talent

[@brandom1953]

I love the homage to Frank Zappa at the end of this song. It's hard to believe but George started playing synths and singing only after considerable pressure from Frank to do so. George's singing and synth work on Inca Roads are just amazing. Thanks again Frank for seeing and unleashing this latent talent.

[@jenniferdesbordes]

Today is March 25, one before my 62nd birthday. It's 2:40am I am listening to my favorite artist RIP George Duke Brazilian Love song. I am alive and full of life is what I feel.

[@sammcn]

George Duke remains one of the top 3 influences on my keyboard-playing style and "world". Of about 5 or 6 live versions of B.L.A., this is my favorite. There aren't words to adequately sum of the length and breadth of George's musicianship and spirit. Thank you, dear George Duke.

With every concert video I witness of George Duke, I lament all the more the fact I never got the chance to see him live before he was taken far too early. I'll forever be amazed by his stratospheric talent and the sheer command he had of a keyboard, composing, and of a live show. Those who had the honour of sharing a stage with him know how blessed they were.

Igor believes that if you want to excel at your job/craft/life it's beneficial to study excellence across many different fields/topics. Each individual puts a twist on the task and these nuggets can allow you to recognize the ropes you skip & the ropes you jump in your own field of endeavor. There is so much top drawer talent on this stage it could almost be termed an embarrassment of riches. Amazing video with amazing musicians & people
