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 😉

[@lyndamorrison8148]

On point

[@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

[@FelixLatour-nq3pv]

So beautiful. I have to fight back my tears every time I hear it. Oh my God , thank you for the gift of music. ❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@stefanodeda4400]

Per non parlare poi della musicalità anche di George: Immensi✨🎵✨

[@feltonwilliams8791]

If there's actually a word to describe Rachelle Ferrell' s voice I would utilize it. But human language haven't created it so I will just say beyond amazing.

George Benson is smooth on this but Rachelle is in another stratosphere! She gives me chills yo !

[@FunkadelicPancho]

George is also one of the best guitar players on the whole damn planet

[@keshagaliardi753]

I agree but I saw he tried to play her that's why she ripped him in this duet

[@rocjackson5975]

@@keshagaliardi753 He did? Explain that further for me..

[@crucial0072]

I thought he was going to go fanboy on Rachelle when she started singing.

[@Karensinger9]

Yes indeedy Rachelle is absolutely an amazing vocalist gifted from God .

[@dvlady51]

She is so underrated. She has a amazing voice. They did that song beautiful together.

[@slichvid]

This is one of the finest performances ever. Period. Watch how they inspire each other. Can you imagine living day to day at that level of emotion???

[@carolgoldfinger6381]

Unbelievable. Who else can match her voice.

[@sabmokiesmomschannel7052]

Yesssss! I've just discovered it! Ive loved George Benson all my life and would even be his Side Chick today, if He asked!😅😅😅😅 #59fly&Ageless #Born in the Mid 1900s😆😆😆😆

[@renaissancejack8674]

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.

[@CBii11]

Written by Benard Ighner

[@quintenisliving7204]

Not a Quincy Jones song.he just directed this orchestra

[@jsphotos]

​@@quintenisliving7204 Ighner wrote the tune; this is Quicncy Jones orchestral masterful arrangement which was originally recorded with Benson as the only vocalist - a masterful composition and performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqHRan-Gl6uFm7M

[@arrjee9474]

TOOTS!!! I don’t believe you can play the harmonica any better than that! Very soulful! He was a great guitarist as well.

[@Power-9Hunnid]

And Whistler too.

[@Geneva-n1s]

✌🏾 Mr "Bluesette" Toot's Theileman 🙏🏾

[@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

[@fabecollage5804]

Music make me cry sometimes... if you love this song you're probably my friend ...

[@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 💎

[@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

[@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 !

even musicians look at her in awe.. what a gift, the highest instrument , one's voice, Her voice is a gift from God..glad she shares it with us....

[@iluvrachellef]

[@sugarbum99]

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.

[@billarybanks2725]

2020 this is still one of the greatest duets I’ve seen. Rachelle Ferrell is on a different level okay

[@wesleytyler9599]

FACTS ☝

[@livinpeace8003]

Play on Toots...what an angel for the heavens! Make music eternally! You are indeed missed!

[@PuleMC]

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💁‍♂️

[@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 🌟

[@Geneva-n1s]

❤ magnificent.(..Mr Bluesette Toot's Theileman 🙏🏾)thank you for this powerful performance Quincy🌟 Jones with the grand orchestra...the majestic voices of🌟 Mr George Benson 🌟 Ms Rachelle Ferrell ✨✨✨✨✨✌🏾👍🏽an amazing performance 🌺

[@HugeOB]

The name is Jean 'Toots' Thielemans

[@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.

[@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

[@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!)

[@RXmusic4YOU]

Tears today, Quincy, George, Toots and Rachelle

[@dagostinoification]

How lucky to have met Rachelle in France! in 1992, a fantastic artist and very kind ... With her husband they even gave me their address and their phone! I was then accompanying the wonderful organist Rhoda Scott on drums ... Huge memory full of emotions! What a magnificent concert! Thank you so much !

[@Christopher-ld9yt]

How about some credit for the great jazz harmonica player in this video, Toots Thielemans (who, coincidentally, died just a few months after this was posted)!

[@blessings4eva863]

Christopher I thought Stevie Wonder was the best harmonica player I've ever heard but I was wrong. This guy was terrific. He stole the performance from Rachel Ferrell.

[@Martyprod2]

the best was Toots and had / has always been Toots. (The tune composed by toots, Bluesette was my first jazz piano exam).

[@FretfulDancer]

I agree. They individually and collectively put a unique spin on a classic tune.

[@laraoneal7284]

Christopher Sad and rip for Toots thielemans incredible harmonica. I've always love the harmonica. This song is so true and incredibly deep and emotional. I cry everytime I hear this.

[@laraoneal7284]

Christopher Thank Christopher got bringing this to our attention. So many ppl do not get the credit they deserve. He pays so much attention to Rachel who's so amazing and underrated.. incredible talent.

Masterpiece Ms. Rachel

[@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.

[@coldwhitesky]

Damn, Rachelles voice put a tear in my eye.

My question, Does it Get Any Better? For ME, right now at this moment in life, I Think Not. My heart beats even; right in sync with the melodic melody of the music. My soul has been quieted and is at peace. My mind, clear and relaxed. Creating an atmosphere of receptiveness. 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. Thank You, Lord, for this experience. To Feel the Gift in the Moment. To know when you've Been Blessed need I say more? I think NOT
