Rachelle Ferrell, George Benson & Toots Thielemans - Everything Must Change

[@noellearchives]

This is in my top 10 vocal performances of all time. Rachelle is OUT of this world. The way she controls her soft and hard palate is unmatched, her phrasing is DEADLY.

[@sofinette342]

Miss Noelle bonjour, je suis curieuse de connaître de connaître vos 9 autres performances 😉

[@williamadams7054]

Seen her live at Yoshis in Oakland.. She dedicated a song to me and my wife during our 18 year wedding anniversary… We make 28 this year!! We hope to see her again

George Benson was so underrated as a vocalist - he does an outstanding job with this Qunicy Jones song. Rachelle's octaves are excellent as always

[@YaoEspirito]

Master vocalist, and even better on guitar.

[@divadoll606]

Renaissance Jack I've loved this song for decades because of George Benson's vocals. It's so beautiful that I get emotional from the lyrics and his voice that it brings me to tears now just as it did when I was a teenager.

[@sylviarochelleamaro5888]

The magic hits the ♥️ this duet is in life’s ether never altered, but for volume 💯🎸🎹🎼🎷🎻

[@atmybest4]

Every now and then, I have to revisit this performance. And one thing became clear: When Rachelle opened her mouth to sing, I feel like George was like, "Oh THAT'S how you comin'?!" And from that point on, George was fighting for his life. But he kept up! 😂😂😂 Love them both so much!

[@Derfunkmeister]

I watch this over and over and over and.............simply magic. Even Toots seems to be very impressed by Rachelle. they don't make em like this anymore.

[@Geneva-n1s]

Me too ✌🏾...this performance is in a class of It's own 🌟

[@ewhackett]

As a young to mid teenager every couple of months the phone would ring & the voice on the other end would say "hi, Ernie this is Toots! - Is your Daddy home"? --- Something that I never, ever forgot!

[@Martyprod2]

Hi ! :) You're the son of Bobby Hackett ?? (the trumpet player) Edit : yes ! just found many informations about you (as a drummer too) and interview of you about your dad. i'm a jazz pianist (more from the 80's era (Chick Corea etc ... mainly Fusion), but i knew your dad's name (nothing more than that unfortunatly). thanks for visiting here !

My! Oh my! Can they be young again, so we can have another lifetime of this... I can never get enough of Rachelle's vocals💁‍♂️

[@westcoastcali703]

She SANGGGGGG that song....& the harmonica player......REAL TALENT

[@jayclarke5466]

He s called Toots…the Jazz master on harmonica..see him play Giant Steps

[@iluvrachellef]

So what! She was a brand new artist and was told she needed to be very different and she did it and mofos still complain. She's my favorite female vocalist of all time.

[@keshagaliardi753]

She is not new ..she is a diva and stood her ground

[@keshagaliardi753]

Amazing he wanted her to shine ......but wow she is so awesome and ran with it ...great jazz artist she is a hidden gem 💎

[@mdsoulsounds]

Wonderful collection of greats! Right when the Montreux was tilting towards pop soul jazz.

It's over anyone who thinks she is not the greatest ever needs their head examined ❤

Rachelle’s whistle register notes at the very end is light years beyond what the human body is naturally capable of.

George Benson, was great here , and Rachelle Ferrell, just stole the store on this one. Boss Lady.

[@RXmusic4YOU]

Tears today, Quincy, George, Toots and Rachelle

[@fayoconnor7612]

The most true and beautiful song ever , love every nuance of this song , but that harmonica solo is just the bomb . Saw george play in Manchester last night and wished I could have asked him about this song . Jeez he’s 80 and performance was still fantastic.Rachel vocals are unreal

[@nancykane8680]

She is beyond anything in this world to describe her voice + talent. . She is the ultimate package. . Saw her in the 90's + have never gotten over her singing + angelic + out-of this stratospheric voice + style. . .God given talent. ..Listening to this in August 2021, as if it where the same nite in the 90's, when I 1st saw her on stage . ..unforgettable ❤

[@rosebuddraper2666]

Highly Highly Highly underrated she is. I've ALWAYS felt she has NEVER got her just due and that is soooooo sad.

[@yvetterabon]

Rachelle and George are great together. The band is everything !!!

[@jab8444]

AS SOON as I saw Rachelle Ferrell's name on this I IMMEDIATELY clicked on this and of course, she never disappoints. I love George's face while she was singing cuz he felt what she was bringing! She's a true vocal musician (and magician I might add!)

[@ronmu]

Wow, I just came across this. I was there that night and witnessed Rachelle Ferrell for the first time. I will never forget her voice and, for that matter, the entire evening. Best years at Montreux when Quincy Jones headlined the festival.

[@brendabrown4870]

I want to know how come this lady never made it to the status she deserved!!

[@aprllest78]

Okkkkaaayyy

[@arrjee9474]

Sugar Bum ... maybe she decided not to be a sellout ...

[@grittykitty50]

I said I wasn't going to respond to anymore youtube comments, but I just have to respond to this one. With all of the stuff coming out now about the sexual escapades happening in Hollywood and the music industry, maybe Ms. Ferrell decided she didn't want to play their reindeer games. There are so many talented musicians who just dropped off the map. Why?

[@mknightyt]

Fear of undermining other artists

[@seabrol58]

I agree that she probably decided to not to be a sell out. there is so much talent out there that we are unaware of due to main stream. Public radio in some states may touch on them. However, there is a need for local, or national independent stations to play the songs yester years. Stations not supported by iHeart, or SIRRIUS, etc. Time for new direction.

[@len1975]

Now this is what real musicians sound like. I love me some Rachelle Ferrell and George Benson was a great!

Receptiveness to feel, understand and enjoy Everything about this wonderful, wonderful musical GIFT of TRUTH. I am in the Moment, I am Present, I am Grateful to Be Alive.

Rachelle Ferrell fut mon amour de jeunesse, à distance évidemment, l'émotion est restée intacte, ainsi que pour ce tendre Toots ! Amour de jeunesse et initiation au jazz, curieusement j'ai commencé par écouter du jazz vocal ! ;-) Puis, pas riche, j'ai acheté deux CD, le CD+ en compagnie de Ray Charles, où il y avait deux petites vidéos (format timbre poste !), et celui avec l'immense Michel Petrucciani, Automn Leaves, un trésor !!!

Oui, pareil, j'enregistrais tous les "concert in montreux" qui passaient (Arte , Onyx (chaine allemande par satellite) et Muzzik (j'ai coupé l'image en haut et bas car c'était filmé en 16/9 donc on voit pas le logo). hélas pour ce morceau la, jet quelques autres (heureusement quasi pour tous, j'ai les fichiers d'origine) 'ai converti la video et je n'ai plus le fichier d'origine Mpeg converti de ma VHS :( (qui est entrelacé) je fais un remaster de tout ces enregistrements que j'ai fait en ce moment, mais sans le fichier d'origine a desentrelacé, on a une grosse perte en qualité d'image, je suis pas sur d'arriver a un bon résultat, on verra bien !

Abonné direct ! Quels trésors doivent enfermer tous ces Montreux Jazz Festival ! moi je ne faisais qu'entrecouper des extraits, avec des courts métrages et tout un tas de choses en vrac, je jouais avec une fonctionnalité de mon scope qui permettait de caler précisément d'un enregistrement à l'autre, j'adorais ça ! Ça fait 11 ans que je n'écoute plus de jazz à cause de ma chienne ultrasensible des oreilles, elle ne supporte ni le piano ni le sax etc…, j'en réécoute un peu en essayant de faire attention, un jour faudra que j'investisse dans un casque ! ;-)

[@Martyprod2]

@@alainhuard5965 l'entrelacement c'est la maniere dont la Tv et le format DVD utilise les images pour gagner de "la bande passante", 2 images étaient transmise en une seule, et donc quand on veut la convertir sur ordinateur (qui utilise le protocole "progressif utilisé par le bluray et une partie de la télevision haute definition aujourd'hui, mais aussi tout internet), beaucoup de gens (moi y compris sur cette video) ne faisait pas une étape importante a l'époque (et que je fais maintenant), qu'on appelle le désentrelacement, qui sépare les 2 images en 2 images distinctes. Hors si on ne fait pas cet étape, on perd beaucoup en qualité d'image. Mais il me reste encore pas mal de "concert in montreux" en qualité d'origine, heureusement. j'ai encore pas mal de VHS, dont certaines que je n'ai jamais pu convertir (format Americain, importé des USA a l'époque) ou mal (en noir et blanc) et j'ai encore un magnétoscope dans le placard (comme un cadavre), mais je n'ai plus mon materiel pour faire la conversation. ça ne coute pas trés cher, il faudrait que je verifie si j'ai bien tout convertis. il me reste encore pas mal de document que je n'ai pas mis sur youtube, certain par exemple, pas possible car youtube les a bloqué. faudra que je re essaye. je souffre d'hypersensibilité auditive aussi... (je ne peux plus faire de la musique ni en ecouter) (j'étais pianiste jazz de profession). Je vais pas dire que je comprends ta chienne (lol), si un peu (beaucoup) en fait, mais oui , un bon casque regle le probleme !

La clarinette c'est l'horreur pour elle ! Elle hurle et me regarde fixement, comme pour dire "mais pourquoi tu prends du plaisir à me faire souffrir ???"
