Stanley Clarke - bassist and composer, is a 5-time Grammy winner, with 15 nominations (3 as a solo artist). George Duke - keyboardist, composer, singer-songwriter and record producer. 2-time Grammy winner, with 9 nominations.

[@lorioday8528]

Stanley Clarke! A BASS player. One of the very best. And the boy can SLAP! And George Duke - virtuoso keyboardist. These two had individual careers, worked together for years, and worked with countless other artists in studio and on tours. I saw them together in Columbus Ohio in 1974. Also on this tour with them were Chick Corea and Al DiMeola.

[@charlesbarber7523]

George Duke producer, writer and other ventures in the jazz industry. Passed away 10 years ago. His wife passed away about five years prior. They were married for a long time he’s been collaborations such as Stephanie Mills, Chaka Khan, Kenny Loggins and so on. Stanley Clark was playing the guitar and had a successful career. Collaborate with many people in the music industry. Stanley, and George, were best friends and worked on many projects dated back in the 1970’s.

[@keithroberts4952]

Slight correction. George's wife passed away from a long battle with cancer on July 2012 and George passed away in August 2013 - a year apart. They had been married for over 40 years.

[@baronvonsatan]

Stanley Clarke plays bass, not guitar. There is no guitar on this track. There is an electric sitar, but it's unclear who is playing it.

[@Mimeniia]

@@keithroberts4952 Maybe its one those Nelson Mandela effects, probably happened like that in an alternate universe.

[@bkkersey93]

Can't believe it's been that much time since he's passes. Seems like only yesterday I heard of it.

[@motoatb.4196]

does this track has Analog synthesizer. i hear a little bit of string ensemble?​@@baronvonsatan

[@SD-it9ne]

This song came out in 1981. I was 12 & it was my favorite song at the time! The R&B station played it all the time ♥

[@keithcarper8809]

Stanley Clarke played bass, cello and guitar on this. George's vocals and keyboard work are so smooth. Great song and reaction. ☮💚🎶

[@mrprimetime313]

Stan Clarke is one of fhe reasons I started playing bass. He is a GEM!!

[@lara314]

Big crossover hit for two iconic jazz artists. They each have amazing music catalogs.

[@davidjenkins61]

Duke and Clark, one of my favorite playlist. Stanley Clarke is the reason I still play Bass guitar at 68 years old. He is one of the greatest Bass players ever. He along with George Duke have collaborated on several Albums while both have individual success as solo artist. Jazz Fusion, Funk, R & B, and classical these two have done it all. I'm fairly new to the channel and would like to see more Jazz artist represented. Duke allowed a young teenage (with her mom permission) Sheila E. Tour with his band back in the day. I really enjoy you both reactions to such classic music.

[@Jude_196]

My late hubby would be SO PROUD OF YA'LL!! He loved BOTH of these GUYS!! SUCH TALENT!! Jay would probably like a LOT of Stanley Clarke!! His album: School Days was AWESOME (he and George Duke played on that album) and he played with MANY GREAT ARTISTS!! A BASS BEAST!!! ...and, George Duke....OMG....the title cut shows-off some of Stanley's skills!! I know Jay likes bass!! HUGS, YA'LL!!!

[@GoldenLady1007]

My brother had a bass guitar when we were growing up, and he played School Days incessantly. He's gone as well. 💛

[@normabreazile5500]

Jude, In remembrance of your wonderful hubby…sending you SMILES as you remember such precious memories, dear friend! ❤️😊

[@Jude_196]

@@normabreazile5500 Thanks so much, Norma! Such kind and welcomed thoughts from you!! Will be a year on the 19th and still lost without him... Music was something he and I enjoyed, very much! GOOD MEMORIES!! Hope YOU & YOURS have a WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON!! HUGS, SWEET LADY!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kevinparker2375]

So glad y'all have discovered Stanley Clarke and George Duke! The Clarke Duke Project was one of the greatest musical collaborations of all time! Each was a colossal talent in their own right but together were absolute magic!

[@jackstump4714]

Stanley Clark is a awesome bass player

[@frankgarcia4886]

George Duke also was the keyboardist for Frank Zappa, RIP George Duke, and thanks for some of the greatest music ,this side of heaven.

[@atirro]

I've loved this song since I was a kid. It is probably the most beautiful masterpiece of music I've ever heard! 🎼🎵🎶🎹

[@saturnnet1627]

A lot of love and soul went into this song.

[@atirro]

@@saturnnet1627 It sure did...and it shows!❤️

[@GoldenLady1007]

One of my favorite songs. I've never seen this video. The late, great George Duke and Stanley Clarke, who is home-grown. A beautiful song. 💛

[@user-wv9kh8zk8v]

Absolutely love this Song. Stanley Clarke and George Duke. Sweet Baby is Timeless and full of true soulfulness. Thank you Rob Squad for playing this ( daddy was very elective with music he taught us, we are so grateful and open to all Genre of music) George Clarke is on Piano, Lead vocals and wrote this beautiful song, he sadly passed about 10 years ago. Stanley Clark on bass and background vocals just makes this song Timeless. This reminds me of parents who had the best relationship loved to dance to this song… We all found our our best friends in our spouses, thanks to my mom and dad. God rest their souls, until we are together again. Thank you both again.🙏❤️🎶🥰🙏 Jay and Amber, bless you both and your family 🙏💕🙏

[@chantal6076]

Great choice/reaction! I'd forgotten what a beautiful song this was! George Duke was that dude - he was a singer,, songwriter and producer for several major R&B and pop stars and was a prominent staple in the jazz and smooth jazz community as well as in R&B. So you have probably come acrosd some of his work. Sadly he's only won 2 Grammys. Stanley Clarke was a killer bassist and also a staple in the jazz community and has won several Grammys. I wish they had done more collaborations together bc that was a great album (my sister constantly played it). Fun fact - famed drummer/singer Sheila E was a member of George Duke's band in the late 70s (and also performed with other major artists) before Prince wrote, produced and played several instruments on her solo album (you should check out her video The Glamorous Life).

[@normabreazile5500]

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS!!! ❤️ SLOW dancing with my hubby…..or my cat🐱💃🏻🕺🥰

[@l.brandehilton7107]

Mm mmm not ur cat ?!? Hahaha

[@memorylane7068]

Stanley Clarke, epic bass man! He can jazz and Funk it up with the best.

[@neildonley9626]

If you want to hear some bass playing, check Stanley's School Days.

[@jackempson3044]

George Duke plays on a lot of Frank Zappa's music. He's also a very respected jazz musician by rock and jazz players.

[@karmagal1796]

One great song. It’s been a favorite on my playlist for years. Sweet Baby brings back Sweet Memories. ☺️

[@williamcalderon9158]

The next George Duke reaction definitely must be shine on.

[@seanswinton6242]

Stanley Clarke is a bass guitar god! He can Jazz, Funk, R&B and Classical. He was is a group Animal Logic with the Police's drummer Stewart Copeland and the Jazz supergroup Return To Forever. While George Duke was a keyboard wizard and producer who began his career with Frank Zappa and the Mothers Of Invention!

[@lorioday8528]

Thats right! I had forgotten that George played with Frank Zappa. What an amazing group of masters! Jean Luc- Ponty played violin on "Overnight Sensation". Doubtful we'll ever get to see a reaction to THAT LP. LOLOL

[@trottheblackdog]

Animal Logic! Wow the squad would LOVE reacting to some of their tunes!

[@jessejamessimons483]

All right my babies... Now that's what I'm talking about ‼️💯🔥🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@trjbrew]

This is an all-time favorite from the way back machine. I know you guys like the Funk sound, you need to hear his song "Reach for It", some incredible bass in that one. By the way the vocalist and piano player is George Duke.

[@rockmygypsysoul9553]

Beautiful song and so are the memories this tune brings to me . Thanks to both of you!!

[@horacerobinson7149]

Continue to R.I.P Mr George Duke ❤. Thanks again Jay and Amber 😊

[@Tejaye777]

MUSIC!!!! One of my favorite songs of all time.

[@Skeezer66]

George Duke was very well known in jazz and r&b circles. he's the one playing keyboards. Stanley Clarke is a jazz legend!! This came out at a time when a few jazz greats were putting out more pop style music (George Benson, Al Jarreau). I have not heard this in decades!! It holds up!

[@charlesc7950]

Omg haven't heard this in forever! Great song.

[@cla9085]

Stanley Clarke and George Duke have many, many hits. Together and separately.

[@jeromegold3216]

Great content. George Duke was a great composer musician. He wrote a ton of songs for many many artists. It was to bad he passed away this year. As for Stanly Clark, fantastic bassist. You should check out more his music. And also more of George dukes music.

[@mkmstillstackin]

Thanks for this! Absolutely love Clarke/Duke and this whole freakin album dating back to my youth! Clarke is just a bad azz bass player. "Winners" and "Touch and Go" are two other really good tracks but the whole album is choice! Also, check out his work with band Animal Logic, which featured Stewart Copeland, of Police, on drums. Clarke has collaborated with many big named artists throughout his career.

[@Kemi_VB]

To me, that yacht rock piano riff sounds Earth, Wind and Fire-ish right around the "Right there by your side" part.

[@deborahabston4222]

An absolute blast from my past! Loved this back then, love it now. Thanks for reacting to this!

[@victorbortolussi2964]

Stanley Clark was in Animal Logic. The band Stuart Copeland founded after The Police first broke up!

[@victorduncan3254]

That wonderful time. R&B at its most technically advanced. This is actually a fusion of pop, jazz and soul. Spectacular! And great memories too

[@michaelmartin1714]

Two of the greatest musicians we have. You have to check out George Dukes catalog. Absolutely amazing.

[@jeanniemetiva6745]

You guys are taking me down memory lane ❤

[@101scetch]

I have never heard this song before, but you could just feel what the singer was singing. Absolutely fantastic.

[@willfromyadkinville]

so good! my teenage years were so blessed with great music! and that is just one area! God is good!!!!!

[@atirro]

I feel the same way. I always say that my generation had the privilege of enjoying the best music from so many diverse genres and the most talented artists!❤❤❤

[@cdpwillprevail1]

This is one of the best songs ever. It’s the kind of song you play when you are alone with your significant other and enjoying life. Beautiful music. 💯💕🕊

[@TheAcarch2]

Can't believe I never heard this song before. Nice solid work. Rob Squad family really knows their stuff.

[@clutch236]

These are two musical legends! They both are Jazz Fusion guys. George Duke switches from fusion to "Funk". Stanley Clarke's fusion mixes (jazz, rock, funk, everything!). And also, Stanley composed the movie "score" for (I think, "Boyz N The Hood"). Lastly, if you grew learning to play Bass guitar in the 70s & 80s, then you knew that Stanley Clarke was (and still is) a bass GOD!!! Known for his "blistering speed" fingers & expert "slap bass" technique! Of the two, George had more "commercial" success, Stanley had some when he collaborated like on this song. This song was these two Jazz guys attempting to get some "R&B/Pop" crossover success.......and it worked! This was a big Pop hit for them! (George Duke: RIP).

[@clutch236]

George Duke was a keyboardist extraordinaire! And also, producer, writer, and singer...as you can hear on this song!

[@liquidationkingla5706]

Two of the worlds most premier Artist: George Duke has produce and written so many Hits for vary artist across styles and Stanley Clarke is without a doubt one of the Greatest Jazz and Classical Bass Players with Electric and Stand Up Bass! Legions just doing it on these KZbin Streets...

[@keithroberts4952]

Great selection! George Duke, RIP, was one of the best keyboardists and producers ever! He produced let's hear it for the boy for Deniece Williams and so many other hits and he had in his band a young female percussionist called Sheila Escovedo who became a star of her own later on, better known as Sheila E! Stanley Clarke, bassist extraordinaire! He was in a jazz fusion band called Return to Forever with Chick Corea back in the 1970's. Do check out his song School days!

[@JuandelaCruz001]

You have no idea how deep the love we Gen. X'ers have for this song. It takes us back. . .

[@007ndc]

Pure magic from two outstanding jazz musicians

[@ornettej3485]

Thank you for taking me down this memory lane.

[@klove5765]

Al Jarreau's Breakin Away was a big hit around the same time, do you remember

[@joeodekerken4636]

If you love this I highly recommend you check out two of the finest guitarists from the smooth jazz era…George Benson and Earl Klugh. Their live performances of Collaboration and Dreamin are fire.

[@nickimontie]

They did one George Benson, they haven't done any Earl Klugh yet. They need to! I saw him about 10 years or so ago when he was doing small clubs by himself. It was one of the best shows ever!

[@joeodekerken4636]

Earl Klugh is my favorite guitar player…I have about a dozen of his CDs and his music is timeless. Glad you got to see him live 👍

[@lindapro1287]

Beautiful!

[@marcnovellino2028]

Wow there's a blast from the past 1981

[@ZeeDahktah]

You like bass, Jay. Get to know Stanley Clarke. Chefs kiss.

[@Lovejazz01]

Two of most legendary and accomplished jazz artist in music history! But yes, this is one of the best R&B love songs , always will be one of my favorite songs !

[@TheBlack-my5yf]

If you want to see/hear a funky contrast to Clarke and Duke's smooth "Sweet Baby," check out the video of them doing their cover of Parliament's "Mothership Connection."

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Stanley Clarke American bassist founding member of Return to Forever one of the first fusion jazz bands, and George Duke,keyboardist composer singer songwriter arranger music director record producer founding member of The Mothers of Invention.

[@bernardsalvatore1929]

George Duke was in the Mothers of Invention but make no mistake, Frank Zappa was the founding member of the Mothers of Invention and the group was around before George Duke joined!! Just sayin!!

[@glynnborders762]

Jazz musicians turns funk and soul.

[@nickimontie]

Two Jazz-Fusion powerhouses! More of them please, either together or as solos.

[@coudgeb]

Definitely having that tune in my head today as well. Loved this one, my father loved this & these songs always remind me of him. ❤❤❤❤

[@pompanomark2024]

Always liked this song from the early 80s..

[@jgsrhythm100]

George Duke ( Keys) Stanley Clarke( bass) Are mostky known for their groundbreakinf Jazz- funk fusion. This was them h cashing in on the pop genre( neither singing). Not a bad song at all but not what their known for. Stanley Clarke - "School Days" Changed the approach to bass forever

[@pattyduke3079]

This takes me back Quiet Storm days with Melvin Lindsey Sunday nights, in DC. Oh, wait a minute this is Sunday night. Thanks Amber and Jay!

[@user-yn8ou9kg4y]

One of my favorite songs I’m a singer in Las Vegas and love George Duke and Stanley Clarke!

[@kennewton7518]

This is the great George Duke " RIP" . He and Stanley Clarke have composed so many hits from artists that you've already reacted to. They had hits together and separate but check into their funk history.

[@caesiyt]

Hi, Jay and Amber! This song is simply beautiful! Guys, you should try "Heaven Sent You", another great song by Stanley Clarke with the unmistakable vocals by Howard Hewett. Also, you can see they playing it on a studio, a jam session including the late great George Duke on the piano, absolutely amazing! Another suggestion is "Oh How I Love You (Girl)" by James "D-Train" Williams.

[@dragonan5674]

If you ever swerve into the jazz lane, you'll find more of these guys! :)

[@kimcutts6153]

That one was new to me and I loved it, absolutely beautiful. I mean.... those lyrics together with that tune!? 😍 sublime. ❤🎼🎙🎹🎻(⬅️ dont have a picture of a cello😮)

[@jofoster1596]

George Duke's collaborations with Randy Crawford in his later years were very special. Stanley Clarke master bass player and great collabs of his own.

[@ramcarred]

Stanley Clarke is one of the greatest Bass players of all times!

[@Thejazzfan66]

Throughout most of his career, critics were critical of George Duke, because he had stopped playing “real jazz “. I think music was music to Duke, and he always seemed like he was having a great time. RIP , Mr Duke!

[@volatilemolotov2298]

The Doors - L.A. Woman I'm honestly shocked you've done other songs of theirs without hearing this one!

[@TheGenXTeacher]

So smooth. This is some slow skate music for me. Great memories. Would love for you to do Pablo Cruise - Whatcha Gonna Do? It's so good.

[@jamesgonzales5285]

Sounds, beautiful sounds from my youth. I'd take my youth back in a heartbeat, and yes, the music is a major reason.

[@13Raven]

Just a great song from the early 80's. Amber's reactions were great, and right on. A great melody. It made you sway and smile in spots, and then so romantic in other it almost makes you cry.

[@fotosbyduane]

I remember this from the 80s. One of the best songs from that era.

[@genaroperez81]

Another song that pushed us "wall flowers" onto the dancefloor and ask that one special girl to dance. Wish I could go back.

[@jovanisanfemio7641]

The Clarke Duke Project is a dream album for musicians!

[@alejandrobojorquez6181]

BAND OF GOLD - " Never Gonna Let You Go " 1980s Motown / Soul / R&B. Soulful vocals and Suave music 🎵 just the bass line alone gives this amazing and beautiful song its sound and it's got a little Barry White vibes in it too. You're gonna love this groovy classic early 80s Romantic and Soulful song

[@stevensheegog3942]

Thank you for refreshing this 62 yo brain about the Clark-Duke project. I had totally forgotten this beautiful classic.

[@colty7764]

one of my favorites from 1981 (summer)

[@562goodguy]

George Duke also played with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention as well as his own solo career. Also your next reaction from him should be "Reach For It" where George took a walk on the funky side of town and blows it out of the water with his merry band of all-stars, you'll definitely be surprised. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@riqhavok4969]

Very nice two jazz greats

[@richardkint6531]

Mostly known in the jazz circles. George Duke the pianist/vocalist played with Frank Zappa and Jean Luc-Ponty. He was also the lead vocalist for the California Raisins. Does anybody remember them in the 80's? 😬 Jazz musician Stanley Clark played with Chick Corea.

[@adamsher2538]

I love the California Raisins.

[@ericj166]

Stanley Clarke on "School Days " - listen to that and music will never quite sound the same again.

[@misterdoe]

Two of the most talented musicians/producers around, jazz artists who got all over the map musically. George is no longer with us, but Stanley is still soldiering on. That's George singing and playing piano. Stanley Clarke can get sounds from basses that they aren't supposed to make. You'd love their solo stuff too: check out George's "No Rhyme No Reason" or "Shine On." Also Stanley's collaborations with Howard Hewett "Heaven Sent" (a top 40 hit, on Stanley's album) and "I'm for Real" (on Howard's album). George Duke also produced "Lets Hear It For the Boy" for Deneice Williams. Oh, and Stanley sings too: a rare ballad, "You/Me Together."

[@dodster11]

True classic. Haven’t thought about this song in a few decades at least.

[@cheesesteak59]

Two serious jazz artists showing off their r&b chops. Stanley Clarke is a bass god, electric and acoustic. It's a shame he wasn't featured here. Stanley's song School Days from the mid 70s turned my world upside down.

[@mainrmdj]

WOW. This is one of those songs I never dreamed you guys would do a reaction too, one of my all time faves from 1981. It was all over the radio up in Milwaukee that summer, and this album is incredible. I don't usually suggest reactions to you, but since you liked this one so much, check out "Touch And Go" from the same album - totally heavenly!

[@rddav1]

You guys need to get hit by the "Dukie Stick"! George's venture into funk back in the mid '70's is what turned me on into him and opened my eyes... and ears... to his musical genius!

[@bobreaves6804]

Wow! Another song that I did not remember by name and artist but as soon as it started, I remember it well. I loved this song when I was young. Thanks again for another memory!

[@SpiderMcGee]

Lee Ritenour “Is It You”, also from 1981.

[@stevenblock9712]

Love this song and am so glad to hear it again. Along this vein, I would suggest that you hear George Benson's This Masquerade, his first big hit from his bestselling Breezin' album. I think you will both love it. You listened to his Give Me the Night sometime ago, but Masquerade is something special.

[@RabbiSteve]

Agreed. A Leon Russell song, but Benson’s cover is maybe the definitive version.

[@hervehightower2364]

i haven't heard this in many years these two were some biggest song writers and producers ever they written produce some biggest artists geroge duke written one two theme's for soul train the 1980's and some and stanley clarke they were singers and did really every thing rest in peace george .

[@niquette65]

Two of the greatest to ever do it! Legends!❤

[@crbr1432000]

Thanks guys! You both make me smile every time I watch you. Bless ya'll..

[@JohnPhillips-uy2pk]

George Duke is my all-time favorite individual performer. I have everything he ever put out. Watch his live performances from jazz festivals and you'll see a guy having a blast with his exceptional talent.

[@stack_of_records]

Have many OG albums from his 70s period. They are all amazing.

[@bobpetereson5177]

Guyd i just discovered your led Zeppelin reactions this morning. And watched all of them back to back! You two are almost spot on and it's so nice to see you appreciate what they did. Now, we must have more zepp! You haven't even touched on a quarter of their songs. And id say 70 out of 85 ish songs are fire. May i suggest live versions. Before that's where they really showed out. The concert you did with stairway to heaven is amazing on every song. Royal Albert Hall in 70' was also great. More raw and young voice. Other than those, songs to check next are in my time of dying, the light, the rover, tea for two, i can't quit you baby ( from coda or live), the lemon song, Achilles last student.. i could go on and on.

[@ericsinger2692]

If you guys hear George Duke do "Reach for It", you'll never believe it is the same guy. Serious Stank Funk.

[@memorylane7068]

Sounded like an electric Sitar solo by George.

[@mathewwallis2863]

GREAT classic! Came out the year I graduated high school. Listen to Stanley Clark's Quiet Afternoon.
