Rachelle Ferrell & George Benson Montreux Jazz Festival

Rachelle Ferrell & George Benson, Toots Thielemans at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1991
Count Basie Orchestra conducted by Quincy Jones

Mr.Benson is a great artist I admire his talent.He is also a strong man to be able to stand that close and remain so calm.That look in her eyes when she started her verse just blew me away not to mention the vocals the she brought with her.Toots played that thang I loved it and Quincy directing, lord have mercy.Young brothers and sisters take notes school was in on that performance.

I doesn't matter how much time passes between the last time I listened to this video, it still has the same amazing effect on me.. I am witnessing four individuals embrace and share with us their God given talent

[@lavendermo28]

I dont know how many times I listen to this song love the lyrics one my all times favourite songs

[@tefnutbellsouthnet]

You have a point- there are several interviews that Rachelle did concerning the industry and the marketing of her talent. On the jazz scene however, Rachelle, ranks high amongst the incredible mature audiences (fans LOL) along with Ella, Nancy, Sara - Rachelle is their little sister holding the torch for the indelible legacy of quality and vocal expertise. Remember Rachelle is a child prodigy violinist, musician, and a songwriter etc. truly a fascinating woman.

[@danyslon]

You're right! Nothing more to be said! Rachelle Ferrell is from another planet! A planet of joy, love and talent!!! She's a Queen!!!

[@HABHDAY]

Sounds like these two coming together makes one wish they could stay young forever, but it's so true everything must change and the tears just keep coming as I play this song again & again.

[@lemusiclover01]

man if you dont play or sing like them... forget it !

[@DonAlfee]

One of the best songs I've ever heard!

[@thegift326]

Listening to this song and watching this video, my soul left my body a few times. Glory Be To God Almighty! RIP Toots

[@crcopeland313]

That two minutes with Rachelle Ferrell is among the best singing I've ever heard from a single person in my life. For it to be so effortless for her and still so powerful and so on pitch is unreal. This is what music's meant to be.

[@tefnutbellsouthnet]

Rachelle as wonderful a singer as humble beautiful soul- I agree she "TORE THIS SONG UP"

[@sawleo]

There are some experiences that ABSOLUTELY take you to another place. Delicate moments...A way without words. Oh so sweet!!!

[@noirprncess]

I love George Benson and absolutely loves when he sings this song. But he was putting somethin' extra in his vocals and had me wondering why....then Rachelle started in and TORE IT DOWN! Oh and my lord...even poor Toots had to put a little extra in. Rachelle will rebuild the stage with you standing in the middle if you don't bring your A-game. LOL Thanks for posting this. Wish I knew when this concert took place though.

[@rosalynb8942]

noirprncess Love that comment ROFL!!

[@danhof0]

noirprncess - it was recorded in july 1991 - Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@VOODOOLE]

Rachelle Ferrell is just truly amazing!!! This is an example of a singer with perfect pitch and technique. Learn from this future Live performers.

[@swanza23]

[@ngaf2070]

Fire!!! Oh, how I love me some George Benson. Oh, Rachelle Ferell. And, that crazy jazz harmonica, Toots! I I just love it. With Quincy directing. This is just too much. Made my day to find this.

[@barbaravire3272]

George from Pittsburgh and so is Rachelle man me and George and my sister to go to the Joe Westray dance place when he was unknown to the world we used to have a ball? long story life is something else not knowing your hanging buddy back in day,.. would be world famous!! Rachelle she lived not far walking distant and guess what? just found this awesome lady of soul!! this month unbelievable I must say!!

[@Daoferrell]

She's very beautiful !

[@AlbinhaNogueira]

Unbelieveble voices...

[@afrosensuous]

Her vocal ability surpasses all three. I love her concerts because she commands the stage wwith her voice....she's a vocalist....the others are singers...they're more POP than anything else. She's on Quincy's stage, so that says a lot.

[@mathchart]

Wonderful live performance.

[@domi0692]

[@tefnutbellsouthnet]

[@5339ecci]

Oh yes I'm aware of Rachelle AWESOMENESS...Ihave all of her works!!! There is no comparison. Hoping that she would come to the Tampa Bay area very soon.

[@tefnutbellsouthnet]

Well said again well said

[@tazia37]

OMG! thank you! thank you! thank you for posting this!

[@MrPatricioG]

This...is....in...CREDIBLE! WOW! Of course Rachelle is amazing, but George has got some phenominal vocal chops too! What a treasure this video is!

[@newislandguitar]

Toots Thielemans??! at 5:30 ....what a master of masters...Benson and Farrell must have felt extremely honored to be on stage with him. and Quincy Jones..so versatile from his grammy winning work with Michael Jackson and the countless Jazz masters he's worked with.

[@dabodyrobinson]

Ok finally get to see the ending of this! Awesome post

[@jazz1bro]

The only person in the world that can outdo Gb on this song!

[@bettymcerlain7167]

What an awesome performance, can't believe there was a '1' dislike... Oh well, to each his own..

[@angelaaleidamontoyarestrep9532]

Fabuloso no hay palabras para decir que son los mejores.

[@tefnutbellsouthnet]

OMG!!! on point , on point LOL

[@AndrewJeffrey710]

[@5339ecci]

WooHoooooo! TOO MUCH!!!

[@stefan0063]

i love the sweet eyes she gives @3:43

[@morralo]

beautiful crazy woman

[@rosalynb8942]

At 5:54 I love how she is holding that long note and moving the mic down.....ummmm ummm Girl with your singing self

[@tefnutbellsouthnet]

@paconot LOL I love her with Will Downing

[@stefan0063]

Dam...so this is the rest. George did his thing. The white guy was blowing!....Rachelle is not from earth....AMAZING!

[@jboogyman]

This character DID NOT just put Beyonce in the same category as Whitney, Mariah and RACHELLE FARRELLE??? What is his SMOKING!!!

[@sibuzondi2267]

PREACH!!!!!

[@morralo]

THIS VIDEO BEGINS AT 3:11

[@tefnutbellsouthnet]

This was made in 1991, a very young, awesome, and inexperienced performer. Check her out now-- all her interviews- not to mention her incredible growth as an incredible humble giving Soul. Oleta ranks high with me but there is no comparison, it is Oleta who still harbors a little bit of arrogance not Rachelle.

[@tscharff7863]

Indeed when a woman can sing a song to legendary Patti LaBelle and it is the song that she herself made famous and sing it so well that Patti is fixing her wig on TV....well "nuff said" LOL

[@vinobody]

@MsCherriBlu yes she sings just right and this is my point. Technically it is perfect but it leaves no space to sensuality, fashion, pleasure and ...soul. But ok these are some mighty vocals...

[@barbaravire3272]

Lady I read comments and you were on this same comment page again? is something wrong with you? go to bed MS Viobody! and please don't come back!! Okay?

[@LetsCatchYourDream]

EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE...this must have been a "chicken skin" type concert with such musical talents.

[@gabymatei1345]

3.34 very ironic

[@vinobody]

u told me the very same thing 8 months ago read my replies and give me a break

[@AftaDaStrm]

After watching this all I got to say is "Beyonce, who?"

[@MISSJHON]

I guess she told them for trying to call her on the carpet for coming out 3 seconds late...you go girl. They should not pair her up with anybody because although no doubt not intentional, she eats them up and spits them out

[@vinobody]

listen daddy, I never said she should shake her body...she has a great voice control but i find her musicality boring ... and I guess this is why she doesn't sell as many records as these ladies i'm no more allowed to mention under this video.... she sounds like a jazz teacher and ppl r looking for a jazz singer... now I m glad that u and a bunch of tasty ppl love her boring interpretations

[@vinobody]

I didn't say her voice was a problem but that her repertoire keeps her away from the charts. i am surprised this makes u hilarious...don't forget to take ur pills to-day

[@barbaravire3272]

Please! and a please! why are you on here lady? we don't need your comment it was better for you not to say anything?.. then come out negative Ms? I guess you don't know what real singing is then? bye!

[@lyricalkismet]

It's hilarious that you mentioned any of them in the same space as Rachelle. None of them have ever had her control, her technical skill, or her range, and only Whitney ever approached her in tone. Are you really comparing some of the most overrated singers in pop music to this vocal legend right here? Ri-damn-diculous!

[@vinobody]

had Rachelle decided not to sing the boring way, she could have been up there with Mariah, Whitney or Beyonce...

[@tartampion2895]

Shakakan the best not rachelle ferrel let's please listen to another view of this famous song with Stevee Wonder on the piano

[@vinobody]

sorry to me it's like Jimi Hendrix would have played only the banjo...I'm afraid she doesn't use her huge possibilities and therefore doesn't meet her millions of couldbefans...

[@barbaravire3272]

Rachelle! just want to be low key! and stay humble, their a lot of them that don't want to be???
