    I asked Chaka to sing this LIVE at Ronnie Scott's this week........she was just 30 feet away from me........my whole mind and body was transfixed. I love this woman. RIP George

      ... and, did she ...?

    • @martinplatt5928
      @martinplatt5928 10 років тому +2

      tonartification YES. She sang it un-accompanied.......incredible. Many of the audience shook my hand after the performance. It was on 13th May early evening session. Tracey and I paid £275 each to see her....worth every penny.

      ... come on - London is expensive, but 275 Pound for one show @ Ronnie Scotts is REALLY strange, isn't it?! Years ago I used to see Roy Ayers there. Ok I was on the guestlist, but the ordinary entrance fee was much much less ...

    • @martinplatt5928
      @martinplatt5928 10 років тому

      tonartification Yes, 275 was well over and that's obvious. BUT I guess because it was SOLD OUT after a week it says it all really. Incognito were also amazing.....I'd love to see Roy live....perhaps prices have just gone up.

    So moving, so classy, so splendid and eternal. Legendary Chaka Khan: as magnificent as always. OMG she is so beautiful dressed like this (I mean she's always sexy and gorgeous, but that suits her so well). Great voice and talent. Very touching tribute.

    You may indeed be the only one who is posting the whole memorial service and for this we are all blessed.....Thank you so much. Indeed....God Bless George for his life long gift to us....!!! I did live in Cali for a long time (in San Diego) and then have moved on to New Jersey and now in Midwest in Kansas City. My eyes are filled with tears and joy for all the wonderful people who came to memorialize "The Duke"......I have photographed most of them over the years.....

    Thanks for sharing. These memorials videos gave us all some insight into George Duke's legacy. We see and understand that his net-worth is this network of musicians he touched in the most soulful of ways. With love, warmth, smiles and understanding. Gratitude.

    Thanks again for your comment! I only did that 'cause I was the biggest Duke-fan "ever" and I still am today!! His early legendary stuff for the German MPS label and of course his Epic albums etc. Man, I'm telling you he was a genius and a funny and humble person too with a great charakter !!! Just like Herbie H. ...

    Like to help. It was interesting - Chaka is great as always; but the keyboardist is clearly
    off topic.
