plus Gene Harris, Ray Brown and Superband too!))) Music, style, charisma, FUN - like Rat Pack with Count Basie Orchestra, Quincy Jones arrangements)) I got to see Ray Charles in concert with the folks when I was 13 in 1978 with the Rayettes. We need a Mt Rushmore for all of them))
I saw this in Melbourne Australia: Gene Harris, Ray Brown, Harry Edison, Like Faddis, Kenny Burrell, BB King, Ray was breathtaking and a full orchestra - and I had front row seats.
My heroes..Two legends..If only Prince and Micheal could have done something like this.... This is legendary ..... I love you Ray, Love you B.B. .... 🎶
One thing I'll always admire about Bb is his ability to play so well with other musicians. It's like he's got this whole other level of groove and he brings every last person he's preformed with up to this level because well let's face it... Bb King is in fact the King.
This is so true. I also noticed evertime bb works with other musician, what he plays fits perfectly with the song. One great example is the song covered by BB with Ray Charles, "sinner's prayer"
When the collaboration was first proposed, BB said that the thought of playing with Ray Charles would be like dyin’ and waking up in heaven. These men were Giants of music-unique.
"The Party's Just About Over - it's just about time to close this joint!" -- Ray Charles with B.B.King and the Gene Harris Big Band. "The Blues Ain't Nothing But A Woman Crying For Her Man." -- "When I Get The Blues, I Sit In My Rockin' Chair!"
OMG, what a pair!!!! I loved them both so much! This is the REAL THING and what shouid count in this life. Heart and feet-moving music that melts your soul. RIP, Ray and BB....I miss you both.
You should have been at the rehearsals. Gene Harris gave me the gig. It was the first time that I had worked with most of these giants of soul. I had the real front row seats...I never got to go on that trip with them, but my charts had a great time.
I think this is October 1990. I worked at the old Asahi Evening News, an English-language newspaper in Tokyo. Toward the end of the day one day a Japanese co-worker asked if I wanted a PRESS PASS to the BB King/Ray Charles concert. What a deal, total access! But suddenly I remembered: My girlfriend was already on the train from Osaka and expected me to meet her at the station. This was before cell phones so I couldn't reach her on the train. Couldn't very well leave her waiting at the station. So I missed it. 😫😫 Thanks for posting, so I can see what I missed 30 years later!
Thank you for your comment. At that time I was working for a sports newspaper. I could see the concert with the press pass. Later, there was a broadcast on TV and I recorded it. All the songs that were broadcast will be uploaded to UA-cam in the future. Thank you.
HUGE. (And this word is so inadequate, I'm embarrassed to use it, but I have none better.) Brother Ray and the King of the Blues had careers of almost identical lengths, starting at almost the same time, and taking very different tracks, but look at how they ended up in the same, celebrated place. EPOCHAL. (Nope, still not enough.) I am so glad that the great soul-jazz pianist, Gene Harris, is leading this amazing band, and getting total props for doing so, and, I implore you: Read the credits, see the names of the musicians, and if there are any you don't recognize, please Google them, so you can marvel that they got all of these giants on the same stage at the same time. (I mean, Kenny Burrell on guitar? "Sweets" Edison on trumpet? PLEASE.) APOCALYPTIC. (Maybe...)
@@RanBlakePiano Read the credits-crawl at the end, they're all there, and they will amaze you... Ray Brown on bass? Harold Jones on drums? I'm swooning.
I know people will disagree but love the blues guitar seen most of the greats including BB but to me BB just plays the same few licks all the time. It does little for me as a guitar player.
Mr. B.B. King had to drop out of school in the 7th grade to pick cotton in Mississippi. He had to educate himself. He would learn shot sentences in French. Spanish, Italian, etc. A lot of this are in a museum in Mississippi.
King of Soul and King of Blues together! Such a legendary collaboration. A true masterpiece!!!
plus Gene Harris, Ray Brown and Superband too!))) Music, style, charisma, FUN - like Rat Pack with Count Basie Orchestra, Quincy Jones arrangements)) I got to see Ray Charles in concert with the folks when I was 13 in 1978 with the Rayettes. We need a Mt Rushmore for all of them))

I agree but I mean c'mon Ray Charles is most definitely on BB's level
When the collaboration was first proposed, BB said that the thought of playing with Ray Charles would be like dyin’ and waking up in heaven. These men were Giants of music-unique.
Absolutely stunning. The heart and soul these masters put into their music. No words.
Thank you for your comment.
I could actually see the performance of the day with my own eyes.
What I wouldn’t give to see this live.
Two Geniuses !!! My heart is so happy!!!!
This orchestra is Killer !!! The whole thing is!!!
Ray Charles response to BB King, that guy loved them muziks, love his vibe
"The Party's Just About Over - it's just about time to close this joint!" -- Ray Charles with B.B.King and the Gene Harris Big Band.

シドニーでもこのメンバーで演奏があったのですね！
知りませんでした。貴重な情報ありがとうございます！

この2人のステージを代々木競技場で見る事ができて良かったです
90年代のＢＢはホーンセクションを従えてサウンドもお洒落でかっこいいですね～！！
1993年だったかなぁ～？大阪は福島のブルーノートにＢＢが来たとき奇跡的にチケットが取れて
2列目のテーブルでまじかにＢＢを観れて嬉し過ぎて涙が出て来たのを思い出します！！
コメントありがとうございます。
B.Bかぶりつき良かったですね〜、羨ましいです。
私は何年前か忘れましたが、日比谷野音で観たのが最初でした。２回目がこの動画の時です。
その後ＷＯＷＯＷが放送したのを当時録画したものです。
Avec Ray Charles et B.B. King nous plongeons jusqu'aux racines d'une musique qui ne sera jamais égalée.!

このレイ・チャールズのコンサートはテレビ朝日系全国ネットで放送されたのですか？
コメントありがとうございます。
はっきりとは覚えてないのですがWOWOWだったような気がします。
間違いでしたら申し訳ございません。
@1967es335 別チャンネルのこれと同じコンサートの動画で提供にパーラメント(フィリップモリスジャパン)が付いてましたね。テレ朝ローカルの可能性も高いですし、WOWOWでも放送されたのは意外ですね。
@@0424takacho 実際にこの日、この場所で観ました。
プログラムも買ったのですが、近年ヤフオクで売りました。
パーラメントって煙草ですよね。
私のアップ動画の中にWOWOWで録画した物、提供が専売公社だったのもあるので、ごっちゃになっているかもです。
@@1967es335 現在もですが小売業で働いていて、勤め先で煙草を販売している為、パーラメントとの付き合いは丸14年目になりました。幼少期の頃は夜中のテレビで煙草のCMめっちゃ流れていたのが懐かしいです。因みに全く煙草吸えません！
PLEASE NAME SONG?????
Thank you for your comment.
The telop seems to say GOOD BrE, but I'm not sure. sorry.
@@1967es335 thanks for your answer .can you write better please? I didn't understand 😅.
The telop on the screen seems to be displayed as [GOOD BrE]. However, as a Japanese person, I did not understand the meaning of BrE.
@@1967es335 thanks for your kindness!
Gene Harris couldn't be elsewhere that night.
