My taste in music was influenced by my father. Whenever we go out to groove with my siblings, we can't wait to go back home to play this kind of music... the only music we resonate with❤❤❤❤. Thank you dad for teaching us real music😍
My little sister passed away in March for cancer but everytime I hear this song I know she's back home no more cancer no more sickness she's home with the Lord
Got ya beat by ah little. Listened to it for years. Like yourself, I'm an old man now. I've been blessed with the talent of playing the bass guitar, and hook this up many times, gab my bass, & play right along with them. I'll soon be 76 yrs old if I'm blessed to see that day. Love it.
Only 31 now, I was introduced to this song back in 2005, I was to play it in a solo competition playing the Flugal horn for the Cullinan Fieldband. My dad came to watch me rehearse, and that afternoon remains a key memory in my life.
I live n Stockton , 209, I just Love D Jazz Crusaders, at that time,I was teenager, now, I'm. N early 60, & from H- town,just Great. memory, Action. Jackson, PESCE
Same here bro...55yrs old, St. Louis in the house with you 2021, and yes..it still sounds real good, beautiful music indeed and truly talented musicians !!
Simply awesome! Smooth jazz at its finest! Joe Sample, Wayne Henderson, and Mr. Gerald Albright in honor of Mr. Wilton Felder -- they couldn't have gotten a better tenor saxophonist than Gerald! Joe Sample....what can I say....they absolute best on keyboards!! LOVE THIS!
Just bought my first soundbar. And I played 'way back home' to my grandfather and man he just went crazy over it. He even told me about their album/song 'Pass The Plate'. That he has been looking for, for the decade plus years. Salute to the Jazzman. Mr T.D.M
Deeply in Love with this group, it brings back the nostalgic memories of my childhood, my late uncle used to play it on the LP, while busy polishing his two - toned flosheim shoes...
Oh yes those good old days.. On a sunny Sunday morning children wud be playing joyfully in the garden,mothers preparing lunch in the kitchen...nice smell of good food in the air...or those days are gone ...ja neh
When I was young my Auntie Leen would pop on albums like this. This was not only her method of teaching me but also enjoying great music with me. I'm glad she left me with a diverse knowledge and great legacy of music. RIP AUNTIE LEEN.... LOVE AND MISS YOU!! 😚😚😚
I listen to this song all day in almost all possible versions, I listened to other songs by other artists, and I realized that there will no longer be such great performers and authors. The world of music has changed drastically.
Very real talk, but there are still Real Good players out there, but the Music industry is preoccupied with Beyonce, kanye west, nicki minaj, cardi b, and folks who know nothing about MUSIC.
I know that's right! But all those greats are not gone because I have a strong feeling that God received them with open arms and the most brightest smile any of us could ever imagine. Playing those Heavenly Songs!
This piece has a special place in my childhood my dad use to play this on his trumpet and that's when I started to love and appreciate Jazz! My favorite Jazz group💯💯💯
All the original Crusaders are gone now except Stixx and Hubert Laws. One of the all time great soul-jazz-funk bands. This song makes me feel nostalgic.
Anthemic!!!!!!! A great delivery by The Mighty Crusaders of a Wilton Felder standard. Paul Desmond gave us Take Five and Wilton Felder gave us Way back Home. Timeless classics for both Brubeck Quartet and Jazz Crusaders.
Will never -ever be anybody better than the Jazz Crusaders. First heard them when I walked into Discount Records in Harvard Square in Cambridge, Ma. back in the late 60's, changed my life forever. These guy's will alway's be the very best in my book.
This was part of the soundtrack of my childhood. Even in the midst of change and turmoil. I believe music helped keep me sane and connected to my feeling body.
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
My first great jazz encounter was with The Crusaders music in 1973 - my uncle still has their LP’s and a great jazz collection. The Crusaders would become the epicenter of jazz music for me.... so melodious so complete so smooth Their music has always made sense for me 💖🙏🏻🌟☀️😘
+mack jenkins , I'm with you about the Crusaders. Jazz will never be the same without them. When I first heard "Those Southern Knights" in the early to mid 70's, I went out a bought all their older albums too. It saddens me to know Joe Sample and Wilton are gone. Let's not forget Wayne and Stix who had their talent too. I was fortunate to see the Crusaders play live in the late 80's.
This song reminds me of back in the day when my brother's and cousin used to have jam session at home in the basement we used to jam everybody on the block use to love us
You will never! And, and they said never say never, but I'm we will NEVER EVER hear sweet music like this again,, so glad we have youtube. PEACE for 2021!!
Oh My Oh My ... Sweet Memories ... What's it with song and Sunday mornings ... Literally brought tears to my eyes after hearing this again after so many years ....
I've love this song since my youth 16, growing up in Detroit, Michigan, in the Jeffries projects, playing chess, sipping some wine, toking on a few joints, and baby it was on relaxing my mind, body and soul as I dreamed my way out of there. Now I'm 64 and back where the ancestors started GA and farming just like them. Way back home and still listening to the World Famous Jazz Crusaders' timeless music. Thank you Jazz crusaders for the wonderful memories
Gerald Albright - A superb player, a consummate professional in concert, and a really really nice man. In '94 I had the privilege of seeing him in concert...I still remember the night and his performance of the classic, Georgia. All hail to the Crusaders!
When i was a little girl my dad used to play the Crusaders religiously. this song particularly reminds me of home. Everytime i play it my heart, mind and soul go South... "Way back home". love you dad.
We've been so very lucky to have been blessed with their music for so long. I hope those new to The Crusaders do some history homework on these cats. You'll see just how influential they were (and continue to be!). Incredible talents and good people. And...as great as he is, it must've tough to take on Wilton Felder's role. He is one of the greatest sax players to have graced this world.
Yes on the piano one of my favorites Joe Sample. This group helped me find the jazz world way back home. So many have passed RIP innovators not imitators.
I can remember as a kid my father would love playing his Crusaders records. At the time I wasn't really into it, but as I got older both my brothers and I took a liking it. This cut "Way Back Home" has always stayed with me. So much that when I had a son I played it all the time and now it's a part of him, deep inside his soul. When ever he's sadden or down he plays this in order to help pick himself but up (as well as God himeself). R.I.P. Joe Sample you will be well missed my friend. Trust me, I know your up there making sweet music in God's Jazz band. Thank you for posting!
Ain't it the truth! Joe Sample and the (Jazz) Crusaders will forever hold a special spot in my heart reserved just for them. The best of the best of the best. Don't know what else I can say.
February 1st: Happy birthday keyboardist Joseph Leslie "Joe" Sample (1939-2014)-co-founder of Jazz Crusaders / The Crusaders. Thank you and God bless. RIP....Thanks for the upload, David. Blessings...
I am old now, the father of the two sons.i used to play this song in the early 90s. I used to enjoy it a lot with my friend while we doing grade12. Way back sweet memories
In the late 70's my best friend Hemphill Campbell introduced me to Jazz. Then Frechie Nash introduced me to more. I am very grateful for them. Best FRIENDS truly
It's such a great music, The Crusaders have been one of my favorites band for decades and I agree, the Japanese audience is so attentive and eager to listen to this type of music... Really a great combination.
Joe Sample ,Wilton Felder ,Wayne Henderson....Just another way to show us our Lord's Love ...like a comet here & gone . Joe you could lay it down no other. Amen
My favorite jazz group all-time when they left us a part of me left too,I don't think Joe was from this planet miss them so much,still grooving with Larry Carlton keep it going on Larry much love
I was introduced to the crusaders in high school. my band director gave us some jazz albums to listen and keep and I took the last of the pile the crusaders. I did not think much of the name but I heard it. and played it often. very very often. love these guys. still love and always will love that trombone tenor mix. its purely crusaders.
My favorite Jazz band! Saw them in 2004; Wilton, Joe, Ray Parker Jr and some young guy on the Trombone. One of the best concerts I've ever witnessed. Oh, Randy Crawford stopped in and sang three songs. Her voice was amazing, sounded better than the recordings. That young guy on the Trombone, got three standing ovations. Love and miss them. RIP Joe, Wilton, Sticks, Wayne
Just found out The Mr. Joe Sample, the Outstanding Jazz pianist with the beautiful touch on the keys, has gone on... Loved his soulful renditions... One of My favorites while a college student at Southern Illinois Univ., (Carbondale). R.I.P. Mr. Joe Sample... And THANK YOU for the Great Music!!! God's great peace to his family... -The Lord's PCP...
I can't get enough of listening to such a very beautiful soulful song. Great job by Joe Sample, for I have missed his genius playing the piano. Wayne Henderson is great as always on trombone. Gerald Albright has been around and did a great job filling some really big shoes. I haven't shared this performance with one single person without having all of them saying nothing short of a beautiful song/cut. I kid you all not, I listen and watch this performance daily as it touches my soul and heart with joy. I mainly listen to it right before bedtime. May you continue to rest in peace, brother Joe Sample...✌🏾✊🏾❤🙏🏾
My My My....I thought I knew the "Jazz Crusaders"& "The Crusaders". It was 1968 when I found out about the CREW......while studying at Findlay College, Ohio..... Then on to the University of Pittsburgh. Ride the Wind Brother Joe Sample. The Starfoxx. Joe Sample, the Outstanding Jazz pianist with the beautiful touch on the keys, has gone on... Loved his soulful renditions..
When my friends cousin & I perform in talent shows my sister & I wrote the words to this song. This Jazz has powerful meaning to it as they played the awesome jazz we got a standing ovation my Dad loved jazz my dad played himself he can play every instrument you put in the hand the same thing with my brother my brother still blows his sax 🎷 music is beautiful 🎧🎤🎼🎶🎵🎷🎺🎸🪕🎻🥁 awesome! Yes indeed 💯❤️🌟 our group was called something special.
My older brothers and sister put me on to jazz in the early 70's especially The Crusaders and I've been listening ever since. But once I found out some of them were members of my wonderful Fraternity Phi Beta Sigma I knew they were one of my favorites. Plus this cut is still 🔥 in 2023. May your memory live on forever as good music never dies 👏🏿🙏🏿💙🤍

They’re one of the greatest regardless of their race.

This song brings back old memories of my late elder brother John Magic Stuurman who introduced me to jazz. Nice melody and very instrumental.
Great song indeed

Such a soulful tune, a truly timeless tune……
The Live at the Roxy in LA album, "SCRATCH" with this cut is the best. It's been in my rotation since 1974. Those Southern Knights...awesome.

My older brothers and sister put me on to jazz in the early 70's especially The Crusaders and I've been listening ever since. But once I found out some of them were members of my wonderful Fraternity Phi Beta Sigma I knew they were one of my favorites. Plus this cut is still 🔥 in 2023. May your memory live on forever as good music never dies 👏🏿🙏🏿💙🤍
