[@clivem24]

Absolute pure and upper class singer!

[@JeremyJarvis-rr8nx]

Smooth as Silk best mail singer ever love this recording perfect to get the house work done I walk with the base & swing with Stanley magic

[@TonyWinston]

I love how Stanley Turrentine doesn't want to walk across the stage in front of Lou. And Lou notices and steps ahead so Stanley can walk on behind him. What class!

[@2dasimmons]

Beautiful!

[@2dasimmons]

Definitely these folk give us a taste of the heavenly sound. The only instrument missing is a trumpet player (Gabriel) a la Louis Armstrong.but I guess here Lou is filling that position.with his voice.

[@Ewerb7]

Tony Winston Yeah, the are they are just the highest level of class.

[@komandantekomandante7466]

Respect and good maners !!!!!!!

[@keithcampbell6806]

It is called professional musical etiquette.

[@halbertking2683]

This man could sing the phonebook and make you cry. LOU RAWLS, yea man.

[@jeromehenen8256]

yeah

[@vancouverterry9142]

The blues never had it so good.

[@TonyWud]

RIP Les McCann

[@jeffmoore9105]

In 1967 I was 5 years old, my mom and dad bought an 8 track of Lou Rawls live in a small club. I'm 58 now and still remember standing on the back seat of the car listening to Lou sing with Tommy Stone on the piano and being enthralled by his voice. I sang along with those songs and claimed Lou as my favorite singer of all time, and still do today. thanx for this vid and the great memories. It's awesome that his audience here gets it too.

[@surreyslurrey]

I found a box of old cassettes sent from my uncle who worked for Columbia back in the 60s, a mixed tap of hits of back then, with two Lou Rawls songs I still can't find anywhere (last time I looked). Trouble down here below and some other gospel/funky tune wow kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGmwnZydmc17sKssi=z0oX6xYI-17yLO7j

[@philpryor7524]

The groove, just that groove, nothing but the groove.., of the blues. It is the sonnet of jazz, the red beans and rice of the righteous blues, the satisfaction of soul, the food of our feelings, the way to BE, properly...

[@robertoetojo5861]

NICE GIG , THE JAPANESE AUDIENCES VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE JAZZ AND THE BLUES MUSIC.👌👍👌❤💋💘

[@blindeyedog01]

Love Lou. Met him on accident after a gig he did. Talked with me for 15 minutes; just a nice guy with a golden voice. ❤❤

[@priesteresmarietje4772]

Les McCann a great pianist, too. Across several genres.

[@garys8990]

One of the best versions of this song that i've heard, but no surprise with the great Lou Rawls!

[@2dasimmons]

He was fabulous. When he 1st came out, he was Jazz all the way! Back in the '60s he took us on a natural HIGH. RIP Lou Rawls and Stanley Turrentine.

[@Ewerb7]

The class that these guys demonstrate is incredible. So polished, so regal. Find few of this caliber much anymore.

[@snowstorm1956]

Now this is what I call the real OG's.. Hahaha! Gangsters professionnels et al.(smile)..You are so right, watching it again made me realize,we witnessed the best of the last.."Style/Charisma".. My Thanks! ;-)

[@jeromehenen8256]

so awesome , one of best ever!

[@JOSUSANCLAPP]

I learned of this artist when I was, what - 15?... and I baby-sat for a woman who had his music in her house. I have loved him for nearly five decades. How cool is that? He is the quintessential man of soulful blues.

[@mjstrat]

So very, very true!!!!

[@2dasimmons]

Wow. What a memory and a beautiful sharing. Shalom!

[@1dsells]

Jo Clapp no one could bring it like Lou.

[@edzielinski]

Doesn't get any better than this. These cats were at the top of their game, and you can hear the influence of the masters that went before them. Talent, class, respect, and pure joy.

I've been with jazz since 1960 Stormy Monday I listen to it time and time again And Lou Rawls has always been great,I'm 77 now jazz for ever

[@unifb2007]

James - I am with you! - I will be 78 in April and I have been a jazz fan (Coltrane is my musical hero) since I first heard Poinciana by Ahmad in 1959 - I saw Les and his trio at The Bit, where THE SHOUT was recorded, in the early 60's and Lou Rawls has always been a favorite of mine! - "KEEP ENJOYING THE SOUNDS OF JAZZ"

[@riotraficante7036]

Me too! . Listened to this a few years ago and there was a black female singing with him. Do you remember her name. She was awesome too. Love this version . 🎶🎹🎷

[@StevenCharlesJazz]

Great, great performance! Stanley, the classy sax man with that Cadillac sound was the perfect icing on the cake to make this really stand out. Complementing Lou's vocals & burnin on his solo...mission accomplished! Miss them both...

[@tonyperry5727]

Beautiful music

[@paulfitton5288]

I'm listening to this on a Sunday....but a Stormy Sunday. Still as smooth as ever. Timeless

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

​@@michellejones2416 been on this one for 10 year now. but the original has got it over this one ("in the evening" with Leroy Vinegar on bass so, sorry young man , on the e bass. but it swung way harder in 1960)

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

yes yes. in 2022 too

[@nakadai4444]

Mr. Rawls, what a fantastic artist you were, and still is, an exemple for the new generations, I stay so glad when I Herar your songs, so truly, and hionest, they raelly are. May the Almighty bless you Lou....,

[@zelenplav1701]

A great natural, performer and voice. I used to listen to WVON Chicago in the 60's and 70's and got great exposed to wonderful music and artists. Thank you for the video.

[@bnhamilton]

Always sounds like Lou has two or three sets of vocal chords hidden behind that necktie, all singing together in perfect harmony.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

it's the vocal chords layered with whisky and tobacco that gives it the resonance. just kidding. his tone is multi-layered for sure. deep, high, light, heavy, clear, rough all that and more.

[@friesenterprises2771]

Les McCann blowin me out the water right now

[@rabflorida]

I had the honor of Lou Rawls shaking my hand while singing! This is an awesome video. I especially like that bass. RIP

[@Allan-yv8ry]

This song is what most men do continually and woman also great song but shows our weakness.❤❤

Lou at his Best!!!

[@abrammatjila449]

No much words masterp❤❤❤

[@zubimarta]

I love it ,another discovery, such good musicians

[@samanthashessia7016]

This version really swings! Such a contrast to the Jimi version I love it! Go Lou!

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

but the original studio version of "in the Evening" with Leroy Vinegar on ACOUSTIC bass. swings harder than this. naturally, it does. it always does. e bass can't do what a stand up can for the swing. sorry Jaco and Marcus, but it can't.. And Leroy swings as hard as anybody ever did.

[@hollywood101usa]

Damn, this is good!

[@vanyoung213]

so true!

[@snowstorm1956]

Grew up on this music, from the look of things it would have happened either way.:-D.You still got it Lou, and sharp as ever! "The Eagle still flies on Friday and Saturday out to play."How I wish it was yesterday"... My Thanks... (that timing of the eagle was something else).Enjoyed ;-).

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@neverbornneverdie2907]

Sometime in the early '80's my late wife, a jazz singer, and I, threw a birthday party for Stanley in Dallas, where he had played at the Fairmount Hotel. Took him to the airport the next morning......boy he couldn't wait to get out of Texas. Really nice man.

[@2dasimmons]

Wow. I'm sure Stanley Turrentine was ready to get out of Texas QUICK. My father was from Texas and it was vicious to black folk. Such a violent KKK presence and lynchings it was UNREAL. It's not as bad as it was in the '50s-'70s but it still is incredibly racist especially towards blacks. There are a lot of Hispanics but they tend to assimilate a little better yet they've got it tough. RIP Stanley Turrentine and Lou Rawls.

[@richdriscoll4398]

The fact that OTC was in Texas made my mind up - in the middle of a deep recession, I weren't takin' THaT job!
