Rest in Peace, Ms. Jean, and thanks for all the grooves! In 1973 I was a white kid attending a majority minority middle school (Col. Josiah Belt Jr. High) in Glenwood Maryland and after the bell rang we'd all race over to someone's house to catch Soul Train on the box and we'd dance and laugh and have a grand old time. Some of the best lessons if my life were learned then and there, especially that while I wasn't anything special, many of my friends were, and that's where I developed my lifelong love of '60s and '70s soul music. The power of music to bring people together! 💕🙏
So sad she's gone! But she was great she was one of my disco ladies of the 70''s like Donna Summer, Sue Robinson, hot Chocolate, Shaka Khan, kc and the sunshine band and others, I' watched soultrain, solid Gold all the time😢😢😢
I'm sure that you are special too. Please do not underestimate yourself. If you were to ask your friends and family what they most admire about you, the truth would come forward & hopefully you could accept it. ❤
That's fantastic ! And thank you & your mom for instilling in you an open heart and mind ! God Bless You Sir !😊😊😊
I'm sure in those days women needed to have a song anthem. This is one of many we should cherish our days 💕💕💕 on Earth with our loved ones
BIG! BIG! OUTSTANDING! Memories of OUR past life with this Spectacular Amazing music 💞
A voice of my era now gone physically but her voice will last forever! RIP Jean Knight.
Definitely
She had a song on 1985 it was way too simple sounding the words are too simple it doesn't have the good sound that 1985 dance music had
Rest in peace, my beautiful Black Queen. You will always be the real, ( Ms. Big Stuff ) !!!!God bless you always in all ways.
Thank you, JEAN KNIGHT for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. "MR. BIG STUFF" will always continue to be part background soundtrack to our lives. May GOD bless your legacy and surviving family.
Absolutely 💯, May she Rest in Paradise., a beautiful soul Queen👑❤️
Absolutely
You'll never hear music this good being made ever again!
She passed away today, age 80.
You are so absolutely right
@@bsmith5304 There is lots of incredible music being made.
I certainly hope not.
@@unicornmadness6286: her obituary was published in today's copy of "The Times". She is recorded as having died on 22nd November.
Even as a child in the 70’s, I appreciated the fact that even though everyone was dancing differently, they all kept the same groove.
Fantastic
They were all dancing together.
Yeah you could even dance alone or with other chics it didn't matter as long as it was a stone grove. ✌🏼
Im gonna be 60 years old in October. I think i was 8 or 9. When i 1st heard this. NIGHTFENCER
2:00 Dang....check out Lopez before she was famous! Correction....meant to say Rosie Perez!! 😂
Love her, Rest in Peace beautiful woman 🙏🏽

💐💐RIP Jean Knight (January 26, 1943 - November 22, 2023) ( aged 80) you will truly be missed and my prayers go out to you and your family. 💐💐
Amazing seeing this because my great grandfather is Carroll Washington and he co wrote this song. In fact sued to have his rightful credits to help writing this song. Your legacy lives on Gramps ❤️
Really? I heard my grandma was apart of this song.
Your grandfather made a great song and it's a classic
Gramps is a jam droppa & party rocka - Props.
Mad respect tho your father.
Amen..one of my favorites of all time!
Huge props to the late, great Mr. Don Cornelius for creating these incredible moments in music and television history!
Amen and we are all thankful for his vision of his and better for it
He was so great!!!
What You Said!! Right On My Brother! I came up in the 70's
preach it
Amen, may he rest in Paradise.👑❤
"Mr. Big Stuff" was one of the songs played on our brand new record player my parents purchased for my sister and i back in 1971, nostalgic memories.
We were in the clubs dancing constantly in the 60s & 70s. When this came out in 1971 we crowded the dance floor. Each dance tune had it's own moves.
Exactly 💯
i was born in 1971, i guess this was before my time, lol
4561z my number i hav a grandson hendrix life is sweet not mud peace
Timeless. RIP Jean. You're music will live forever.
When mrs big hair sung that, we didn't have a care in the world and everybody was happy. Good days
Rest in Peace Pretty Lady. Thank you for the music🕊️✝️
RIP Jean Knight... we've all sung Mr. Big Stuff a time or two!
Now this is the original Diva song! What attitude and sass! I could groove to this all night! 😍👍❤
April 2019 and still watching and still enjoying it. Anybody out there feeling the same way.
Oh yeah, 10 / 01 / 2020 covid tell us who you are, cause we the people are tired of this shit.
I love this song also
Still listening in 2020! Thank God for music in this horrible year of the pandemic.
You bet, reminds me of when I was a kid! 🙂
Hello QUEEN 2020/12👑. Enjoying it and it bring sweet memoeies of my childhood and my MOTHER 5/06 RIP💔👑🌹. STAY BLESSED and SAFE ALWAYS 💜. GOD BLESS YOU QUEEN SISTER 👑💎
Who's here in 2024 still rocking to Mr Big Stuff over 50 years later? If you are, mash the I❤️Jean (RIP) button:
👇🏾
She is now resting in heaven with whom I like to call my big guy in the sky.
I wasn't even born yet. I love all this stuff
There ain't no music like CLASSIC SOUL MUSIC and I was only 12 years young when"MR.BIG STUFF" by "JEAN KNIGHT" hit the air waves and I remember watching her perform the song on "SOUL TRAIN" and "AMERICAN BANDSTAND" and I absolutely loved the song and now that's she's gone this soul classic will always stand the test of time because they sure don't make music like this any longer...R.I.P. Ms.Knight🙏🙏🙏
You hit the nail on the head with your written words of never again. This is a classic song that will live on forever.
*This song is super groovy and get's me in a good mood EVERY TIME*
😂😂❤
@@bettypayne8652 :(
Even your dog wears shades!
@@robertthacher2660 Indeed!
I remember hearing this record on the radio so many times back when I was a kid in the 70s. RIP beautiful Jean Knight. ❤🙏🌹
Whom else out there was fortunate enough to grow up in the 60's / 70's ??
69 Thankfully.
I was born in the 50s. I was 21 that year, and I remember this song well. Reminded me of a guy who was a' Mr Big Stuff'
Rest in peace Jean Knight! Your song brought a lot of confidence in my heart. Thank you!
Love that hair! That voice! That groove! Those lyrics!
OMG, Used to absolutely love this song when I was a kid!! How I miss the 1970s!!! Not to mention watching Soul Train as a kid with all those great artists and dancers!!! I doubt very much the kids of today will miss the 2000's.
Soul Train was fa shits..
I wouldn't miss not a one show lol miss those days..💋
Well us 90s kids miss the 90s haha😅
@@AndrewWhite6969 But if you grew up in the 70s you'd be missing the 70s! LOL Much better times!!!
Loved to watch Soul Train every Saturday Afternoon growing up in the early seventies!!!
Look how beautiful our people look back then. And even more beautiful today.
Preachhhhhhh this woman is gorgeous
A terrific song recorded in 1970 at Malaco Studios in Jackson, Mississippi, arranged by New Orleans producer Wardell Quezergue (who plays organ on this track), joined by studio musicians Vernie Robbins on bass, James Stroud on drums and Jerry Puckett on guitar. The unnamed horn players and backing vocalists are also great, the whole thing is so tight and funky. If you like this, check out King Floyd's "Groove Me" which was recorded at the same session and was also a big hit.
Hey great info thanks! After 9 years are you still there?
Jean Caliste Knight 1943-2023 Iconic
Her words to this song let me know fancy cars, money, diamonds & stylish clothes wasn't the only thing in life. Love means more.
The #1 R&B song of 1971 RIP Jean Knight
Thank you for making great music back in the day,Rip Jean Knight
I am old school and I was born in 1959. When I first heard this song, I knew that she was taking about a Man who thought that he could have any Woman, just because he had a nice looking car and dressed real fine. Yes the beat was great as well.
I came from the generation in the 1970s when everyone watched Soul Train regardless of what race, color or background you came from. We also went to clubs in Midtown Manhattan and uptown, Harlem, Lower East Side that were Black owned and Salsa Clubs, we went to soul food restaurants, we went to gay clubs, underground clubs in NY Chinatown and everyone got along and had great times! Miss those days!
Rest In peace.
This song brought me great memories dancing with friends as a teen ❤️🙏

Hello Colleen
How are you do
Tic TOC! Tic TOC;
I was an adolescent in the 70s. Didn't know anything about a "Mr. Big Stuff" trying to get my love... only know that it had a great beat and we used to dance to it.
Donna Shinall Same here baby girl!I couldn't have been more than 5 and I remember my mama playing this on her (Hi Fi)!LOL Good memories, quarter parties and all!✊😁
Donna Shinall Me too!
Same here..my Mom/and lil sister would dance to all of the Motown songs..loved it and had a blast! Miss those days!
Still dancing in 2018
Donna Shinall Fairplay to you for that i love it i was under 10 in the 70s but I was brought up with music and I used to love dancing and especially when I was young in my bed room with my friend thanks for reminding me of that mindyourself be happy
Great song from my youth...RIParadise Jean 🕊️🕯️🎶.
Hello Barbara
How are you doing today?
I remember playing my record player with Mr Big Stuff and dancing Rest in Peace Jean Carne😅
Hello Annie
How are you doing today?
Can you believe that this was the biggest selling record on the STAX label? Bigger than shaft and that won an Oscar! Look it up.
that be hard to be believing
Every jukebox in Louisiana had Mr. Big Stuff 45 on it, she was a great artist with good music. RIP
We lost another legend today. R.I.P., Ms. Jean Knight. Keep giving "Mr. Big Stuff" some hell!
11, and a R & B lover, the songs goin' through my head: to the tune of Aretha (All the kings horses), Staple Singers (I'll take you there), Jean Knight (Mr. Bigstuff); at a time when I would sing on request;
Loco motion, Little Eva;
Donny & Marie, Puppy Love; Gladys, Midnight train to georgia; Jackson 5 (Rockin' robin); To all the ones we've lost so far,... you are forever ingrained in our hearts!
Love this! Didn't know Soul Train aired this long back. I knew it in the 70s with Dynasty, EWF, or the Commodores. So glad to embrace it now❤
Put a smile on God's face Jean 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿.
Rest in Power lived that song as tot. Those old folk would be turning up with those Christmas house parties. Every cookout had crabs, and every Friday fish. This song brought us so much joy and fun. Now I know who made the song, but never forgot the hook. Rest in power. Your contributions made joy , laughter for so many. 😂😂😂😂😂🦋🦋🦋🙏🙏🙏🙏💕🌹🌹🌹🌹
was in 6 elementary school in Kenya listening to local bands covering these and JB..those were the best years
I've been listening to this song ALL my life (I'm 42). I have FINALLY found out what Jean Knight looks like.
THANKS, UA-cam! And THANKS to the poster!
RIP Jean Knight (January 26, 1943 - November 22, 2023), aged 80
You will be remembered as a legend.
RIP Jean..grew up with this song ..never even knew the singers name till now..condolences to her family
This is one of the best rhythms I've ever heard in a song!
Loved watching Soul Train!
The clothes, the hairdos, the DANCING!
I just love the 70 songs on soul train
Hello Sarah how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Bought this record as a nine year old with my weekly allowance...at Johnny's Record Shop on the corner of 157 street & Amsterdam Ave. All those that still survive from that hood from those days know what I'm talking about ! Nothing these days can compare !
E-I had family that grew up in that area not too far from you. Did you know that the famous rapper Kurtis Blow also grew up in that area?
@@curtisjones400 yes, I did. Still can't get his first hit out of my head either, after all these years .. lol
The FLY SISTA dancing on the platform with the blue shorts and white shoes @1:01 was gettin' it! 💜
Poxa que musica... nossa!! isso sim que deveria estar nas radios!!! melodia!!! letra! poxa tudo de bom!!!! AI QUE TEMPO BOM!! BOM DEMAIS,A PREOCUPAÇÃO NOSSA ERA CURTIR ESTAS LINDAS CANÇÕES !!!! COMO DANCEI ESTA MUSICA!!!! ABRAÇOS A TODOS!!
Rest in peace mama...❤
Quem desfrutou , desfrutou , quem não desfrutou não desfruta mais . Anos 70 a música soul emperou durante 10 anos aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷 estado de Minas Gerais na cidade de Belo Horizonte. Bons tempos.
No RJ, também.
Nasci muito depois dos anos 70, mas sou muito fã do R and B clássico. Por exemplo, Sam Cooke, The Temptation,Gladys Night and the Pips
The original "playah slayah"...good Knight the lights Miss Jean. Thank you for this classic from my youth and for all time!
In the long hot Soul summer of 1971, there was a brief moment when the Queen's throne was occupied by this badass broad from New Orleans named Jean Knight. With this one little ditty, she lays waste to generations of Mack Daddy's and Sugar Daddy's alike while upping the ante for strong women everywhere. And the carnage continues to this day. You go, Jean!
I was around nine years old when this came out and I was rockin' it! I'm Mexican American and I didn't care!
Those beautifully trained voices we used to have. Wow! We've gotten so lazy :-(
robots
It's all unintelligible rap now...nobody can really SING anymore.
Oh, you're a singer? And you used to train your voice, but now you've gotten lazy and don't train anymore? That's so cool, who did you used to sing with?
@@btinsley1 what's all unintelligible rap?
@@liamjagoe260 🤣 LOL! What, you haven't noticed?🤣 that's rich in denial if you choose to defend.
I have this 45 vinyl record! Loved the song & still do! Rest in peace Jean Knight.
Hello Cheryl
How are you doing today?
As a white boy growing in the 60’s and 70’s I loved all music during that time but always leaned towards Motown. Great song.
I can't believe that old school videos don't have as many views as new school videos. This is inspiration. People should watch this more than Beyonce and Nicki Minaj. My opinion.
You know their mama listened to it, or surely watched it on soul train. whoo hoo! 💕💯
I, Agree.
Nicki has my vote along with Aretha Franklin child of the 70s and raised by beautiful people of all colors
this is pure talent. no bs, no electronic crap. just talent.
No comparison, this blows away any songs today.
October 2020. They don’t make music like this anymore. Lord, could you just pls bring back this era of good music where people just enjoy and have fun. No such things as RACISM.
Awe, RIP, 2023 we loved these tunes during the roller skating erra 70s!!
Rest in peace Ms. Knight. Mr. Big Stuff was one of my family's favorite song when I was a kid.
People of color loved themselves and so proud being of color. We knew who we were... others wanted what we had. thank God for great parents.
The people of Motown and others had such soul, beauty, and class.
You mean BLACK PEOPLE not people of color, don't see any Hispanics or Asians there and for the most part, those two group would rather associate with white people
@@jayxtacee5695 I don't know where you hang out, but in my life, everyone is mixed and get along.
@@michaelwhite2823 I dont where you from either?How about Fantasyland!!
That's great, but does that have to do with this song???? Does race have to be always rammed down everyones throat? Give it a rest....
RIP Miss Knight, You'll by missed.
oh hell yeah...I watched Soul Train religiously. GREAT show and format. back when music was music and groovin' was groovin'!
A classic that we will never forget,R.I.P
Thanks Jean for Inspiring me to become the nurse I am today ♡♡♡♡♡
Amanda Jackson's
Nothing like good old school soul music!
As a white kid living in the suburbs I loved watching The Soul Train.
RIP to Jean Knight,this was hit still to this day
R.i.P jean knight ❤❤❤❤❤
This is SO GOOD!! Jean Knight puts Dolly’s hair to SHAME!!
JEAN KNIGHT PURE CLASS FROM WIGS TO CLOTHING AND VOICE..REMEMBER IT WELL..MUM &
DAD DOING THE" TWO STEPS"..AWESOME...AS WE SAY IN JAMAICA " OLE TYME SINTING COME BACK AGAIN "..MEANING CLASSIC MUZIK NEVER GETS OLD..HOW RIGHT THEY WERE..
Yep. I remember this one. It was my favorite at one time. My Dad bought the single and we played on the record player until it got scratched.
takes me back to when I was a 14 yr old in London absolutely lapping up this kind of music. love it!what a song
a soul classic, and a classic live performance from the wonderful jean knight. and on soul train. who does not know this song, a timeless soul classic.
Scallywag is definitely right!
I have heard so many people no longer with us.
They had never danced until they were able to get messed up.
Then walk on any dance 💃🏼 floor and move any way they wanted.
Just like the rest of the club without shame or embarrassment.
We need so much of our older culture and influence today.
R.I.P Ms.Jean Knight,didn't know she had passed!! Legend..
STILL ROCKING IN 2016 !!!!!
... and funky :-)
mark miller No! Mistake! FOREVER!!!
what a fine looking woman Jean knew how to project her baddest attitude & hold the microphone while everyone did the breakdown in their finest poly threads LOVE IT :) :) :)
This song was popular in 1974 here in Cape Town South Africa.
Rest in peace darling. I'll never forget the first time I heard this song as a child.
Thinking about this song last week, it hurts I didn't get to listen to this song one more time recently, while you were alive...💔
Remember hearing this song back in 1974. Still a great song.
I thought it was earlier 72?
@@SuperCaliforniaBarbi Yes it was.
There was this one radio station that continually played this song back in 1974.
Does the song sound any different today than when you heard it in 1974?
@@timsteele123 This song is still as great as it was back then.
I had aspirations as a teenager to go on "Soul Train and "The Price is Right...back in the 70s...as well as mimicking the dance moves from the Soul Train dancers.😊❤😂
The best of the besties!! Never get tired of these awesome jams!!!
Thank you, Jean for this great dancing song of my youth. This is a big hit and lasting one.
Que maravilha. Ouvi esta música no final da década de 70. E só agora é que pude reencontrá--la.
Pure love and joy to listen to you, Jean. Shine on forever! ❤🙏
