Amazing!

Two or three weeks from the jazz fest, everyone in Manhattan had no idea what was going to happen.

I can listen to this all day❤❤

This is for: Ken Everts- ( St. Reeves)////. ua-cam.com/users/shortsb-DWYTU5TcU?si=tWlN8Js_PYHFya19

I still have the t-shirt. Best free jazz festival ever.

Wow this is amazing. I found it by accident. Thanks so much for posting it Bill.

THANK YOU for making aware of this great painter.

Awesome!

Play it Bill. Sing Francine, Sang, girl! Wonderful concert! Norina David

Wow, I was thinking of you. Haven't seen you since Stories About the Old Days. Remember? I met you as a comedienne, but I never you sang but this is wonderful! Bert's place, yes, that was the place.

Leroy Foster was and is, absolute brilliance.

LOVE this! Tom is my grandfather :)

Thank u

This is Barbara still at her zenith and sounding stellar

Hubie used to sleep on our ping pong table in our basement in brown deer Wisconsin,first bass I ever heard thru a fuzz tone never wore anything but green,we all new he'd make it in music what a talent

I may visit a week or so to hang out..

Hey Bill the music sounds great. Missing the big "D".

The Detroit Jazz festival needs to program more music like this from local artists playing traditional jazz rather than that "Far Out" stuff that no one understands!

Thanks for posting, this is GREAT!

Thank you for sharing this Bill!!!

Thanks Bill from all of Francines Family in Ohio! Fran is Loved and Missed!

Beautiful melodies and shakere . Excellent

Go ahead Dent....you baaad!!!

Awesome! I know her as Ms Dent, when I went to Mumford High School. One of the greatest educators. She was a substitute teacher. But it was always great to have her as a teacher. I remember looking out the classroom when it started getting hot. The school was like a sweat box. Look out the window and it was a group of guys who drove old box Cadillacs they called the Cadillac boys. She’d look out the window and say that. I remember like it was yesterday. She was in the seat and started lifting and turning like she was hitting switches in the car. Those are the good old days

They passed away two months apart. My aunt barnie was 96

This is my first cousin whom I never knew. Her mother Barneggo Defreece is my favorite aunt on my dad side. She was also a dancer, writer, composer, and she sang. She has a small book of poetry. When I hear D J Holiday sing she sounds like my aunts.

Francine, i was an underclassman to you at Wilberforce. I remember when you graduated and I would hear about your singing exploits. You have indeed perfected your craft. You are and always have been an inspiration to me.I have played this video over and over again. You brought every song that you sang to life. What a powerful and emotional concert. I love you, my Wilberforce University sister!

Fran, You are so wonderful. Thanks to Bill and all those who helped put this together. You are still one of my favorites. Remember I always wanted you to sing IMPOSSIBLE DREAM. You are that Dream in this mini concert. Wilberforce is in the house.💚💛

So special, Bill! Thanks for sharing. Music heals!!

That's from WJBK FOX2 in Detroit.

Hey Bill, thank you soooooo much for hooking up with Francine. She and I went to college together at Wilberforce University, in Ohio. I have sent this video to all of her classmates whom have been asking about her for a while. She was always a good singer on campus, and a comedian who won many, many talent shows at school. It is so good to see her and to know that she is ok. So, thank you, thank you as that was a very kind, thoughtful and generous thing you did for her and the folks there at the facility. It made her happy to be in front of an audience again! May God Bless you! And when you see Fran again, tell her that Johnny Tolbert from Wilberforce University says hi and that I love her...all of her classmates love her too!! God Bless you! Johnny Tolbert

I'm loving this concert by Fran Dent. Awesome!

Too bad you had Galeski, the scumbag, working on it.

Just sooo wonderful to see Fran singing, tearing up watching. We 💘 love you Fran, do your thang!!! Thanks Bill you are just the Greatest!!!

WOW, just WOW! What a beautiful and emotional performance by one of my favorite singing friends. Fran looks wonderful, absolutely sounds fantastic, and of course, accompanied by one of the greatest pianist ever. I was moved to tears at how beautiful this performance is. This is truly a treasured performance that I look forward to watching again.

Marvelous on so many levels - Blessings Francine

Ok School Made New and I LOVE IT

Yes Dent!! Gawd I’ve missed your voice. And Bill you’re playing your ass off!!

This is so so so COOL!!!

So wonderful and heartfelt

Ohhhhh I loveeeee this and I have tears just streaming because I miss her sooo thank you thank you for this.....

Bill, this song puts me in “the Zone”. It’s part of your griot-hood, world citizenship and points to how you speak truth to injustice. ‘United States of Africa’ makes me proud of you.

Very happy I could be a part of making good music with great people. This was a fun song to play with so much lyrical meaning. Thanks for sharing your talents with the world Bill. Love you much.

Hubie! So great seeing him here. One of the great all-time bassists. He did an album for me back in 1979 called Betty Lou It's being re-issued in June.

OMG....look at Hubie , look at you Bill... this is so awesome Thanks for this ❤

It was my upmost honor to know and be a friend of DJ's and to be able to talk and share our life's struggles with and I dearly miss her...

I found one of The Great LeRoy Foster's drawings rolled up in the storage room of my new job. The Drawing is of a mother holding her child.

Great work, Bill Meyer!! Thank you.

Loved it!

Lovely presentation Bill .Brought tears to my eyes.
