THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS - UPTOWN (RARE VIDEO FOOTAGE)

[@kurtbogle2973]

The Chambers Brothers are wonderful to me. The song Time Has come Today was the best escape I had from my Mother's Mother's psychological torture. To be able to escape the barrage of insults and hateful statements and find peace and mind travel in a song was a blessing from the Universe that we all are. Love Peace and Happiness

RIP Betty Davis, who wrote this classic for the Chambers Brothers under her maiden name, Betty Mabry.

[@Johnnycdrums]

I was unaware of that, hail Betty Davis.

[@nyronut]

saw them live in 1967.........killed it

[@michaeldias3983]

I was 16 in 1969. weaned on the Beatles, the Stones, Cream, humble Pie, ect. and of course Jimi. I first heard The Chambers Brothers on WNEW FM, in N.Y. "Time" had hit the air waves and that was all she wrote. The Brothers opened the door to R&B for me and greatly influenced my playing. I bought all their albums and playing then until the grooves wore out. not many bands can effect a guitarist like that but the Chambers Brothers could and did, I can not thank them enough for the pleasure and enjoyment they gave me and the rest of the world through the years . Now at age 67 I still jam with them. They were fantastic musicians who's talent never grows old

Chambers on bill with jimi n soft machine.i have a poster of it.

[@DJGG8205]

Summer Of Soul brought me here. The drummer is the funkiest white guy ever. Tight in the pocket and then some!

[@mickeysmind5789]

Two words: BRIAN KEENAN!!! Storming it behind that kit! So much force and finesse.

[@muskymcg]

[@nickharris9761]

Wow - what a drummer !

[@nickharris9761]

Give the drummer some !

[@petercotterill5105]

Just heard a radio interview with his English daughter who, with no prior knowledge of her father's background follwed a near identical path into becoming a percussionist and gave her first public performance on his birthday

[@shabadoo24]

I don't remember seeing Brian Keenan on any lists of the top rock drummers..

[@imnokid]

Love to see more live Chambers Brothers if you have any. Thanx for this.

[@_Peremalfait]

If I were suddenly young again, I'd study this group, copy the way they stand, the way they hold their guitars, the way they move to the music, and I would learn to sing with as much soul as I could muster just like the singer here does, and I would get me a band and show them this video and tell them, "that's how it's done."

[@indiesindie1984]

I had the greatest experience seeing them live at the Los Angeles Street Scene in the 80s! They totally stole the show! It was one of the most incredible performances ever!

[@cedricpeabody265]

Fantastic!!! Try to find anyone as soulful as that these days. Unlikely, I'm sad to say.

[@43vert]

love it, had to buy the album three times, just kept wearin it out

[@captainamerica331]

One of my all time favorite songs!

[@charlesr5849]

Song written by Betty Mabry who married Miles and became Betty Davis, the funk artist.

[@yoyo103queenan5]

@charles r I loved me some Betty Davis back in the early 70s. she was the original wild and crazy nasty girl. she also named the cover title to her husbands great jazz album "bitches brew". its a shame she didn't get the recognition that she deserved. she was a sister ahead of her time😄

[@jafajo]

Betty Mabry (Betty Davis) has writen this musicpeace for them in 1968 . . . . . . . . please, write it in the description

[@MsAppassionata]

Thanks for posting this. I never got the chance to see them live and I love this band.

[@alanpowell9369]

Damn these boys were funky!

[@domino353]

Still remember them playing live at the old Cheetah Broadway NYC during Christmas time.

[@Johnnycdrums]

I like the studio version.

[@daviddoyle4516]

[@jimjackson4111]

Yes!

[@theboyfromxtown]

Not familiar with their work but I did buy the 45 Time Has Come Today which I loved. I remember seeing their album on the Direction label and contemplating whether to buy it. Never did though

[@radasanything]

If you see it again, GRAB it!

[@MsAppassionata]

You should have. It’s a great album.

[@Dougdenslowe714]

I love this drummer,but what was he thinking........?

[@captainamerica331]

He nailed it. Tempo is close to double time of the original recording on their album. Sometimes live is just that much more adrenaline driven!

[@Dougdenslowe714]

Sam Mann Von,no,no.This is a funky ,broken beat.This is shit.Dont take it personally,I'm talking about the drummer.Im a drummer,so take my word,he fucked it up on EVERY LEVEL.

[@captainamerica331]

listen to the original, then get back to me....

[@Dougdenslowe714]

Sam Mann Exactly.....listen to the Time Has Come Today album version.......if you think they're the same,then there's no point in arguing!wow!

[@captainamerica331]

doug denslowe where did you get the idea that I thought they were the same? Best to you. I'm not here to argue!
