She needs to be honored for her work in being an artist. She deserves a bet award & or Lifetime achievement Award. She has talent can play all these instruments singing etc She deserves to be recognized. She paved the way for slot of artists now. And her music is sampled so much. Please honor her. She deserves it

[@chrismacks3640]

You think she inspired Alicia Keys

[@moehammondmedia]

She looks great for 60. Genius. Music legend.

[@oscarmike1131]

absolutely. wish this was longer

[@sherrisolomon8673]

Wow! Always wondered what happened to her. Sorry I am seeing this 2 yrs late.( smh)

[@archiejackson2315]

She's still young and yes she looks pretty fine

[@jacquelynn2051]

Patrice just looks beautiful ...cute...vibrant...as she has at ANY AGE up to and including her current age. You NEVER say to an actual cute 5 year old child..."You're cute for 5." I know the commenter probably meant no harm, but we say things without thinking of the implications of said things.

[@differentdrummer6162]

I've loved Patrice since I was 18. I'm now 62. A real star.

[@RebelBuddha1971]

Beautiful, intelligent, humble and a musical genius. Criminally underrated to this day.

[@differentdrummer6162]

Shawn Kurland - you got that right

[@humToNoise]

She's so captivating. I could listen to her talk about music all day.

[@23dgoudeau]

she is giving some of these 20 year Olds a run for their money sheesh gorgeous

[@rodimuspm]

I must agree

[@horsluva0758]

[@ErinT80]

Her song Remind Me still makes my heart melt. I swear, Patrice Rushen is so underrated it’s crazy.

[@Pjsixty60]

Mine too!! I just love it, I also love Settle For My Love, are you familiar with that one?

[@knoxxgrim9991]

PATRICE RUSHEN WAS HIGHLY UNDER RATED NOT ONLY DID SHE DO HER THING BUT SHE WORK WITH EVERYBODY FROM JAZZ TO R&B....IF YOU PICK UP A R&B ALBUM OR SMOOTH JAZZ ALBUM FROM BACK IN THE DAY YOU WILL FIND HER NAME SOME WHERE.....SHES DOPE...AND SHE WAS LIKE 16 OR 17 AT THE TIME

[@almoburton7547]

A Class Act. Needs to be honored for her work in 🎶 music.

[@SparksMentalz]

Patrice is a fucking genius, end of story. Excuse my language. I listen to this woman's songs almost everyday.

Patrice Rushen was and is a master musician. Luv her then and now💝

[@chordcaster]

I'm impressed at how well she can express her thoughts in real time. She must be a great music teacher because she explains things so clearly and thoroughly without losing interest.

[@williamprice4934]

she is one the greatest gifts to modern music unappreciated. her arrangements are so passionate and carefully composed ... a shame that she hasnt received the spotlight she has so honorably deserved.

[@biancagordon1051]

I love her...musical genius

[@MrWillyCC]

Patrice Rushen a living legend. Her and George Duke crossed over from jazz to funk/soul and back. She was Alicia Keys before there was an avenue for that type artist to be mainstream.

[@keithdubois1521]

Sorry, but Alicia can't swim in that lane. Alicia maybe good at what she does but where Patrice has come from and what she is capable off is on a whole different level.

[@TheSupremeDunk]

Keith Dubois facts ...Patrice is a completely different monster

[@keithdubois1521]

@@TheSupremeDunk let me put it this way, listen to Patrice's first recording and listen to Alicia's first recording an compare the two. Even when Patrice moved into pop music there was no comparison.

[@rik4369]

Not even close , sorry. This Women is an Giant that never lossed her roots to the music. The fact that she is teaching her ART is powerful. Those young students are totally unaware of the Master that they are being taught by. I love this lady much deeper than just her music.

[@tomswill9189]

SHES IN A CLASS BY HER SELF.

[@solisquistis]

She’s enriched my life with her art. Thanks Patrice!

[@bradbarnes4272]

Having seen Patrice Rushen perform a concert at LBCC in the 1980s, and seeing her articulate her musical journey so well on this video, there is no separation between her craft and her instruction! Rushen has the business acumen of Mick Jagger and the chops of Keith Richards, the affability of Dick Clark and the bon mots of Oprah. We need Patrice Rushen more than ever :D

[@IngaHicks]

Brad Barnes AGREED!!

We miss the gold beads in her hair ! We do so miss her feel of music from the 80s. Far better than today , what went wrong !

[@68thalien]

Darren T true

[@rik4369]

Not speaking for her but I would bet she chose the music over profit. The music is more important to the great ones. She is a GREAT one. The industry will destroy your soul if you allow it but there will come a time when you have to choose. This one was waaaaay talented a professional to give up her passion. As we use to say in the Corps " quality over quantity". Her music will and has stood the test of time. I miss those beads too !!!!

[@horsluva0758]

I totally agree Darren T... Music of the 70's and 80's was awesome... and went down hill after that... so sad

[@TheObservationlounge]

You should also see her 70s output, From her earlier Jazz/Funk/Soul albums. She also played with Jean Luc Ponty (Progressive Jazz/Synth Jazz violinist. Truly versatile!
