Good Morning Everyone
Here is Aretha Franklin at Montreux with what may be the best band she ever performed with.
King Curtis was at the height of his saxophone powers here.
Sadly he would be killed by a drug dealer he tried to kick out of his apartment's entryway just a few months after this show.
Cornell Dupree was BB Kings favorite backing guitarist and an outstanding soloist in his own right
Jerry Jemmott is a bass legend who has recorded and performed with - well, hell pick an R&B or Jazz legend from 1968 until today. Jerry worked with 'em.
Bernard Purdie is the drummer.
If you need told about Bernard I ain't the one to do it. He may be the most recorded drummer of all time.
So enjoy the show. Music starts at the 1:44 mark.
