I see that Mr. Bradford passed away in September from complications with the Covid. I pray that his family finds comfort and peace from the Holy Spirit and that they know how much Terry's music (and in particular, this video) has touched others. God bless the Bradford family.
I'm Jewish and I would go to that church instead of my temple every day and pray there just to hear this genius on the organ. Mr. Bradford is insanely talented. I mean I am in SHOCK!!!> INCREDIBLE.
I've never seen anyone turn the organ off for a moment then back on... What a wild effect. Also, you really have to be wailing hard on a Hammond to make them move like that organ was near the end. Amazing talent!
You can do that with the later model self-starters...NOT with the original start-run drive motors. You try it on those, you gonna get yaself a really sea sick mess! Terry one HOT player, frfr.
WoW ! What a super fined today. As a fellow Hammond owner I really appreciate his expertise not just on the keys but also using the foot pedal...which "ain't easy". Merry Christmas & thanks for the entertainment using your God-given talents.
Wait a minute, wait a minute😱 the guitar playing in the beginning sounded like the great Wes Montgomery!! They rocked the church, the house, & the block 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🏼👏🤚🏻🤚🏻🤚🏻😊
As a young white American of Irish, Scottish, and German descent who plays jazz, thank you so much to black culture for your incredible invaluable contributions to American music. It's my honor to play and listen to your music.
Frankie Fish. You can actually install a potentiometer that controls the megahertz without affecting the voltage. That allows you to slow down the tone generator. Original idea wasn't so much for pitch bending. It would allow you to adjust the overall tuning as compensation. I have one on one of my Hammond x77s. The first one I ever saw was installed on a B3 about 40 years ago.
There's a start switch that you have to hold on until the tone wheel generator starts to rotate. Pressing that switch while it's running will cause the motor to slow down.
Loving it from Glasgow to st Louis, from Scotland to you and yours truly in your dream miraculous beautiful sound TQ fingers stay cool brothers and sister from moi and may god bless all❤
You got to wonder how this happened... Mr Hammond wasn't happy with the sound of his organ and Mr Leslie wasn't happy with his rotary cabinet... yet here we are with a sound that in the right hands never fails to make you grin from ear to ear
Steve, you've got that backward. Leslie wasn't satisfied with the sound of the Hammond. Hammond was absolutely aghast with the sound and use of the Leslie speakers on his organs. He only gave in because of popularity.
Laurens Hammond, inventor of the B3 despised Donald Leslie's rotating speaker and initially forbid Hammond dealers from selling them. He never gave in - the Hammond organ company did not start selling Leslie speakers until 7 years after Laurens passed away.
This brother is too much...This what u call a sure nuff master of the hammond b3 organ...He made it holler, shout, scream...You betta play that organ man....God has blessed him with an amazing talent...If I didn't know any better, I would think that Jimmy Smith was sitting there...Just awesome......You have truly encouraged me to master the hammond b3...God blessed me with one last week....
@@deborahevans2985 You're welcome. I will be calling Gregg. He was indeed one the sweetest guys I ever met. So humble. Blessings & comfort to his son, Michael. Comfort to you also Deborah. Man, I just played Terry's music on my radio show last week, not even knowing.
@@tonysmithonsax Thank you Tony. You are so kind and gracious. Sounds like it was a prophetic move for you to play Terry's music. Please send me the link to your radio show if it is online.
SURE WANT TO DANCE AROUND OUR CHURCH . WE DO WHEN THE SPIRIT MOVES. MUSIC MAKES US ONE I GO TO A MIXED CHURCH BUT GOD MAKES US ONE UNDER HIM AS IT SHOULD BE. YOU ARE FANTASTIC. I BET GOD ROCKIN THE CLOUDS RIGHT NOW. WOW WOW WOW. BLESS YOU BROTHER. PLAY FOR HIM FOREVER. POLYWOG690 INDIANA,PA. 60 MI. FROM PITTSBURGH ,PA.
I only wish I could play this well , I love the sound of the B3 and this man is right on , it makes one want to cheer out loud and dance , makes one feel very good .
Just got an opportunity to meet & to him via phone. He actually took time to answer my questions & give some direction. What a nice guy & a monster on that ther' organ.
I cant understand how that choir can just sit there while he is playing his heart out to this song. would they react like this at a basketball game..I'm sure they wouldn't....I dont get it
Maybe they just take it for granted. Perhaps they haven't been exposed to other kinds of churches and worship styles, so their perception of this is like a norm. Whereas for us, who grew up on hymns or contemporary worship styles(or any other style) we can really appreciate the musical artistry and praise that goes into their worship sessions.
He didn't cut it off. Lol. The Newer B3s have pitch bending capabilities. I have one that does the same thing. Its the Mark 2, and also notice, He pulls the START switch back, which is Impossible to do on a regular Hammond. Which I think is a MAGNIFICENT feature.
A side bar for a few of you out there. When Suzuki bought the Hammond and Leslie names... a lot of us thought that's sick, and not in a GOOD way. But they proved everyone wrong. They shipped dozens of originals over to Japan ranging from bone stock to warmed over to full out modified distorted rock jobs. And then they flew players from all walks of music over to demo them. They listened... and they learned. Everything is digital now, but still based on the old tone wheel tech. The small single keyboard 'bar' units have a few drawbars are pretty close... closer than any of the clones, and still include the piano and synth sounds. But the big double keyboard full bass pedal 'pro' jobs... man they are Hammond all the way. The original sound, and the warmed over and distorted sounds, are switchable at a touch of a button. They look and feel and sound exactly like an old B3, except it don't take four men and a small boy to move it. And yes... I do know what they weight. Back in the 70's our band had a B3 and a custom made split six foot high Leslie complete with blue lights in the horns so you could see them spinning in the dark. Oh, and a Vox organ... and a Fender Rhodes 73. All that plus a huge drum kit for the day, a full horn section, a bass, and me with five fricking guitars and three insanely heavy amps. Plus a sound system that was huge. It took three 8X10 trailers behind vans and pick-ups and even a stationwoogan to haul. BUT... with a new Leslie the big job easily costs twice to three times what you can get a real genuine B3 and Leslie for. So the lightness must be one of your key requirements.

That’s horrible cause he could play that organ
🙏🏾
Gone too soon...
I always liked his organ playing. He can play!
God bless the Bradford family. His fingers making the music talk. Walk with me Lord.
Take me to church baby. The best organ ever made, and the best organist ever made. Love ya.
I would go to church every single sunday if this guy were there
202DHB you not there for the people you come to church praise the lord
Andrew Crane the lord moves through the fingers of men like this - to love this music is to love the divine talent imbued in us all by our creator
I’d go every day!
go to church for God
If only black people liked working as much as they liked dancing like wild animals playing rock and roll and dressing up fancy.
If you love Jesus "LIKE" this message...just as Jesus has "LIKED" you... AMEN
I chose this performance for our wedding as my family took their seats. Thank you Terry Bradford! CHURCH!
That organ is saying, " Bro, give me a break! Let me catch my breath." 🤣🤣
Right he tearing that organ up 😂
Go head mr. Lead guitar man. Wooooow priceless.. Yall did yall thang sho nuff sho nuff.. Lord have mercy... sho nuff
I'm Jewish and I would go to that church instead of my temple every day and pray there just to hear this genius on the organ. Mr. Bradford is insanely talented. I mean I am in SHOCK!!!> INCREDIBLE.

Lol we all know who’s the REAL Jews are an if your not black then well nvm

@@chieftp ...huh
Next to the internal combustion engine, the Hammond organ is the greatest invention ever ! WOW. And on the seventh day God listened.
Wow, just wow! Just what I wanted to hear, and the Lord delivered! So glad for technology
Guitar player is awesome. Let's give him some love. God is good
Yes playing jazz guitar.

Everything about this is spectacular. Fantastic talent and music making. Rest In Peace, Mr. Bradford.
I love people who play not just with their hands, and their heart, but with their soul 👏🏼🙌🏼
I've never seen anyone turn the organ off for a moment then back on... What a wild effect. Also, you really have to be wailing hard on a Hammond to make them move like that organ was near the end. Amazing talent!
Thanks, I was wondering how he did that!
when he cut the organ off and cut it back on... omg I've never seen anything like it.
Keith Emerson used to do it since the 60s (with The Nice).
But I am sure he had learned from some earlier Hammond player...
You can do that with the later model self-starters...NOT with the original start-run drive motors. You try it on those, you gonna get yaself a really sea sick mess! Terry one HOT player, frfr.
First time heard that was on Green Eyed Lady by Sugar Loaf
@@SandrOliva yo bro hit me up with some great hammond players I can listen to
Kendall, Darnell Keith Goudy Johnson (RIP) did it too
I'm an athiest... but I still love JUST listening to these videos of these great performances on the B3. I just love them... Much love to all!
I'd go to church every morning and night to hear this.

anthonyspare seriously
This isnt church...its musical heaven...fantastic, well done guys
WoW ! What a super fined today. As a fellow Hammond owner I really appreciate his expertise not just on the keys but also using the foot pedal...which "ain't easy". Merry Christmas & thanks for the entertainment using your God-given talents.

A great person and a great musician.

Rest In Peace! this man needs to be remembered for what he did. amazing stuff

God made those fingers to walk that keyboard with hallelujah style!
Love how he just turns off the organ to get that Pitchbend..
Frankey Fish tight
Definitely a Og move 💪🏿💯

Searching for Hammond organ and found this on UA-cam. This man is amazing. What a legend. You will be missed sir. Bless your heart and talent.
It's Fantastic. Thank you very much for your performance. GOD BLESS YOU.
Bro!!! this is on my morning playlist. It is sooo anointed indeed. May he fly free!!
Mr. Bradford, from one musician to another, You have GOSPEL CHOPS written all over you...! There is a true blessing what you have!
This is how every worship of our Lord should be like. Hallelujah!
What a sadness, our great Mister Fingers is gone, thanks to the videos where we can remember his great talent dedicated to God.

This man is an amazing creation of the almighty Father! Thanks for sharing.
The anointing is flowing all throughout those fingers - grace & mercy - thank you! Peace & Blessings Symone
I have always just LOVED the sounds one can get out of the B3. Mr. Bradford put her through the paces for sure. Hats off to you man!!!

Good thing you can read their minds
That's my dear friend and good buddy, "Mr. Fingers!" All of this gifting, anointing, and talent, and you will never find a more humble man!
that's the Show Me State at its finest that's how we play out here boy!!!absolutely ridiculously good god bless and keep killing that Oregon fam
This music is inspired by the Lord, it demonstrates that our God is groovy!
I'm listening again. SICKENINGLY OUTRAGEOUSLY ORDAINED, TALENTED MR. FINGERS!!!!!!. I had to comment twice!!! :)

BREATHTAKING!!!!!! LOVE, LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!! VERY ANOINTED AND BLESSED TERRY!!!!!
God blessed with with a wonderful talent. Keep playing for the Glory of God!
PS.. That tone bend was...AWESOME!
Rene Ramirez he just switched the power off and the generator loses power thus the bend.... it's genius
Dang! Who is playing the guitar with him! The whole thing was Spirit filled!
I'm not sure, but I think it might be Greg "Happy Guitar" Haynes... but don't quote me on that! :-)
@@deborahevans2985 You are correct. Happy Guitar himself.

I only wish I could play this well , I love the sound of the B3 and this man is right on , it makes one want to cheer out loud and dance , makes one feel very good .
Man ...going to church is like going to a concert!🙏
I loved every note of that. Wish I could go to church there!
I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO WITH A FLYING PASSION.. YOU GUYS WERE EXCELLENT!
Wonderfully performed and captured on video! No one walking aimlessly back and forth in front of the camera holding his/her cell phone.
Look at everybody smiling on that grand finale🙂😀😄👍👍
when God touches your soul theres nothing else to do but perform at the highest level
I'm so in love with Gospel music it makes me feel good when i hear it!
That's what I call making the organ preach! , excellent ministers of music.
The organ needs a lie down after that workout! :)
Lol
Yes it does
😂😂😅
Well, damn 🥰
I meant hallelujah 🙏🏾🤷🏽♀️🥰😍
A HAMMOND B3 was built in heaven. Designed by the Holy Spirit, funded by the Father and built by Jesus Christ (The capenter)
Very true
So so very true then make All the sense in the world to me
Yep
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏼
If YOU DONT SAY THAT!!!!
I loved that!!!! thats what im tslking about!!!! Thank You!!!!
Bradford you and Mr Happy guitar killing it I love it yes Lord
Thank you so much I am just now reading this , I am Terry’s mom
Boy do I miss you playing The Hammond. Continue to RIP.
I’ll never forget 11 years ago terry Bradford sowed one of his cd’s into my life.... I went home and learned sooooo much!!!
when he cut the organ off and cut it back on.. AND THE CROWD WENT WILD
Ecco quello che puó dare un Hammond suonato come si deve. Bravo !
He played the pentatonic scale so nice up and down... a marvel, these moves...
This brings me back to my childhood. We used to love attending musicals, and there would be one organist who killed the I organ. This man is too much.
Being a Hammond player I know just how skillful Terry is. amazing! Thanks for posting.
WOW!!! Terry is no only a great player but he is a Great Person!!! Much Love to you my brother...
take me back to church ......needed that
Glory to you LORD!
God Bless you your heart!
I see why they call him "Mr. Fingers " he is truly awesome.
I can't I just can't . . . . . Amazing got me over singing tapping and clapping!
If only the music at my Church was like that! whoa... Sooooo good!
I love to watch you play, makes me play harder. Thank you.
Rip terry Bradford you will be missed
Noooooooooooo!!!! Man, sorry to hear this.
What?? No!!!
oh jesus 😥
I love that pitch bend "fall asleep with and on the organ and then wake back up!"
Just got an opportunity to meet & to him via phone. He actually took time to answer my questions & give some direction. What a nice guy & a monster on that ther' organ.
Thats some crazy skill, truly amazing, play on man
YES Lord -- inspires me to put put together that "chuch" music gospel jam session i've always wanted to coordinate.
What an awesome rendition of I Want Jesus to Walk with Me. Fantastic!!!!
Most of the choir looks so bored --- they have no idea how much work goes into that kind of skill. God is Amazing!
If you go to a black church on a regular base, you know you get some musical blessings !!!
I cant understand how that choir can just sit there while he is playing his heart out to this song. would they react like this at a basketball game..I'm sure they wouldn't....I dont get it
Maybe they just take it for granted. Perhaps they haven't been exposed to other kinds of churches and worship styles, so their perception of this is like a norm.
Whereas for us, who grew up on hymns or contemporary worship styles(or any other style) we can really appreciate the musical artistry and praise that goes into their worship sessions.
When you keep hearing it EVERY week for the past seven years...it gets boring🤷🏿♂️?
That was a live recording at Friendly Temple MBC. So you can't have the choir over shadowing the music.
Loved his talent, and the band!
Carlos Hernandez!! Hello My Brother from another Mother.
Same Heavenly Father!!
He didn't cut it off. Lol. The Newer B3s have pitch bending capabilities. I have one that does the same thing. Its the Mark 2, and also notice, He pulls the START switch back, which is Impossible to do on a regular Hammond. Which I think is a MAGNIFICENT feature.
I'm a fan of the Hammond organ. I play drums and I would love to play with him I can only imagine what his praise dance sound like
I meet Terry Bradford a few weeks ago in Napa. Great guy and a great musician
This guy is the man. …. and knowing him man of God my God he’s the best!
A side bar for a few of you out there. When Suzuki bought the Hammond and Leslie names... a lot of us thought that's sick, and not in a GOOD way. But they proved everyone wrong. They shipped dozens of originals over to Japan ranging from bone stock to warmed over to full out modified distorted rock jobs. And then they flew players from all walks of music over to demo them. They listened... and they learned. Everything is digital now, but still based on the old tone wheel tech. The small single keyboard 'bar' units have a few drawbars are pretty close... closer than any of the clones, and still include the piano and synth sounds. But the big double keyboard full bass pedal 'pro' jobs... man they are Hammond all the way. The original sound, and the warmed over and distorted sounds, are switchable at a touch of a button. They look and feel and sound exactly like an old B3, except it don't take four men and a small boy to move it. And yes... I do know what they weight. Back in the 70's our band had a B3 and a custom made split six foot high Leslie complete with blue lights in the horns so you could see them spinning in the dark. Oh, and a Vox organ... and a Fender Rhodes 73. All that plus a huge drum kit for the day, a full horn section, a bass, and me with five fricking guitars and three insanely heavy amps. Plus a sound system that was huge. It took three 8X10 trailers behind vans and pick-ups and even a stationwoogan to haul. BUT... with a new Leslie the big job easily costs twice to three times what you can get a real genuine B3 and Leslie for. So the lightness must be one of your key requirements.
very nice broham. To God be the glory!
