George Duke was a genius. In love with Rachel and Johnathan, too!
I love good old grown black people
lol. I hear that
Absolutely.
At a performance a while ago, a young Brother asked, "Man, why don't you sample? - that's what's up."
I told him, " 'cause I can play, Brother. That's what's up!"
I bought him a drink, and He & his Lady, and I jammed for the rest of the Show. We had a ball.
This is a fantastic song! It's still on my playlist. Jonathan Butler is Amazing in his own right & performing with George Duke & Rachel Ferrell is icing on the cake. 💖
The artist here are true "Great Ones" The music touches the soul to bone. There such a beautiful combination including Patti Austin
Patti Austin? That’s Rachelle Farrell
when music was still music
darn right
This is true
Fire,Fire,All the FIRE 🔴
Absolutely
For sure
I've played this song over and over again. It never gets old...Brilliant groove!!!
this is the best live performance of this generation man. Its no surprise all the legends are on top of the game and have a chemistry like never seen before. I always come back to this. Sad George Duke passed on but we have his music and his signature to remember him. Legend.
All the greats
Jonathan Butler (Lead singer)
George Duke(keys-PBUH)
Rachelle Ferrel(BGVs)
Brian Simpson
Larry Kimpel(Bass)
great statement
saw this man live back in the early 90s ...his voice is crystal clear .
Saw Jonathan as a young teenager performing in front of a "white only" audience in Jo burg South Africa, he was amazing then and more so now… he makes me a proud South African… awesome musician!!! Brilliant!
mark store I saw him when I was a youngster in those it was called pep stores and 1/2 price stores with Ronnie j
mark store Ronnie Joyce and Richard Jon Smit
Where and when last time you saw him in concert? Sadly to say I dont think he has been here in Northern Cal for awhile.
Hearing this music makes me jump for joy what can I say all of great musicians like this
With jazz I'm never alone, and Jesus, there's no end of beauty and sound, just keep the faith 🙏
Wonderful, I miss you George Duke.
Jonathan Butler exploded on the scene with the show Video Soul on BET featuring host Donnie Simpson. Donnie was a cool green eyed brother with that smooth deep voice. You just trusted his judgment on the video coming up. Well Jonathan was guitar vocalist extradonaire reminds of George Benson with that amazing vocalist singing at the top of his range.. How can you not enjoy this performance especially with George Duke and other fine musicians.. He’s going all out on this one for us to enjoy.. and the singalong absolutely brilliantly done .. Rest In Peace George Duke.. LB October 2021..
And let's not forget Rachelle Ferrell on the background vocals. 🔥
What a LINE UP !!! Imagine being in that room!! The energy! The Duke brings masters together ❤❤❤
Back in South Africa, Jonathan Butler was actually more known for his singing ability. Its only when he moved overseas, he became known for being a great guitarist as well
I can't stop listening to this!!!!! Over and over and over. Sing Jonathan!!!
fantastic people I miss George big time a great human being this song is amazing ! love them all
Rest in Peace George Duke

The precision of Lil’ Jon Roberts’ drumming…MAN!!!
I had the pleasure of seeing him live at the city of refuge Los Angeles/Gardena CA a few years back, and he was magnificent and this is where I began to enjoy his music . And as for the George Duke and band....I've enjoyed his music whewwwwww

Two of the best musicians in the WORLD, right here! George, we miss you; your funky side, your groovy side, your soulful side, your jazzy side; your ability to shine through no matter who's set you were playing. God bless, and thank you for posting this gem.
Simply a Full Course Meal 4 Two.....Mind Body And Soul

That voice of his is timeless
I love how JB was a marvel so early and the globe embraced him, really proud that a man from South Africa did so much back then....
Best live version of Sarah Sarah
Heavenly..... sublime..
LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE! Jonathan and Duke was Dynamic!
I luv it! Nothing like great music. Still sound good or even better when it first came out, now that's what u call a classic!
what a voice
A cool smooth track on a hot evening
Jonathan Butler gives a Great Concert, I was totally Mesmerized, I Appreciate his Talent❤!!!!
What a luxury to have Rachelle Ferrell singing BACKGROUND, while NOT PLAYING PIANO!!!!
Just as badass as when he sang it for the first time in 1988!! :-D
One of my favorite brothers in the African diaspora!!!
Real Music, thank you.
Saw J.B. in the '90's at several clubs, music halls🎶🎵, etc...with Najee once, David Sanborn...had to have that sax for the Sara, Sara solo. He's just as good if not slightly BETTER!!! It's like his voice is much more honed. GREAT Performance all around.
I had a chance to see he Boney James, Al Jarreau and Wayman Tisdale so many greats came through our tiny Akron Ohio.
In my humbled Opinion, this is the most fun and the MOST CHALLENGED JB has ever had in his entire career. He looked like he ad too much fun on this tour! John, Larry, Rachelle, George, & Brian tore that entire, ENTIRE SET UP!!!!!
Wow wow wow very very beautiful 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
They put some " stank" on that thing towards the end. Man that was hella tight !
This is killing me! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!
Wow Johnaton butler is really a good artist.. one of the most talented artists .
Great Artist
Jonathan Butler is a singer-songwriter and guitarist who leads a life few can imagine. Born in South Africa under the shadow of apartheid and raised in poverty, Butler was the first non-white artist to be played on South African radio and appear on national television. Though his musical abilities would take him away from the world he grew up in, Jonathan would neither forget the plight of his fellow South Africans, nor the man that led them to freedom. It is for this reason Nelson Mandela credits Butler’s music as having inspired him during his imprisonment. In more ways than one, Jonathan Butler is representative of South Africa.
- Jonathan’s story begins at a very young age when his father presented him with a homemade one-string guitar. Little did his father realize that he was giving way to a musical phenomenon. From then on, Jonathan’s musical gifts grew by leaps and bounds. In his early teens Butler won a local talent contest, affording him the opportunity to perform with a touring musical company throughout South Africa. On occasion he would perform at lavish concert halls for whites only, where he would not be allowed to use the bathroom, and the very next night he would perform in a dilapidated local township. Ultimately, his ticket to a new life was music...
[Verse 1]
Saw her across a crowded room
And she looked so good
Memories came rushing into my head, mmm
There was a sparkle in her eyes
Was it for me
Or just my imagination running wild? Oh, yeah...
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I see the more things change
The more they stay the same
Thought I was past the pain
But one thought of you (thought of you)
And it's back again
[Chorus]
Sarah, Sarah
What happened to you and I? Sarah...
Sarah, Sarah
How did the fire die? Sarah...
[Verse 2]
This time I said I would be strong
Though emotions rush in
Swore that I wouldn't fall apart, no way
[Pre-Chorus 2]
How could we watch our dreams
Crumble into dust? Baby...
There's so much more life has in store (in store)
For the two of us
[Chorus]
Sarah, Sarah
What happened to you and I? Sarah...
(Sarah, Sarah)
Oooh, how did the fire die? Sarah...
Yeah, girl...
[Bridge]
I must admit, baby
That love never died (love never died)
'Cause deep in my heart, girl
A bit of you still survived
[Sax Solo]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
How could we watch our dreams
Crumble into dust, girl (ooh)
There's so much more life has in store (in store)
For the two of us
[Chorus]
(Sarah, Sarah)
Oooh, what happened to you and I? (Sarah)
Tell me, tell me... tell me, baby!
Sarah, Sarah
How did the fire die, baby? (Sarah)
[Fade out]
Yeah, yeah
I'm crying out for you
Said I love you, baby
I'm strong out on you, baby
Girl, don't walk away
Don't turn away
I need you, honey
