Bernie Worrell interview at the ASCAP Expo for Songwriters Vantage 

R.I.P. Bernie Worrell. Thank you for your wonderful world of music.

I've never seen Bernie speak or be interviewed before.. Very cool guy seemed very down to earth.. RIP, sir!

Bernie Itruly thank the Creator for giving you life , you have increased my joy for being able to hear. Keep on creating ...

Excellent interview. Bernie was a beautiful musician and an humble,intelligent man.

I feel such warmth from him. He's been the voice behind so much music yet somehow he's stayed out of the limelight. Much love for Bernie!!

RIP bernie a true musical genius and its criminal he ended up broke after all the hits he helped create

Truly a instrumental, talented genius whom I enjoyed listening to since the seventies. This man is a joy to listen to no matter who he plays for or with. When I listen to a song that he is playing, I tune out the other instruments and close my eyes just to hear his keys talk to me and put me back in the past when I was hanging with the motorcycle clubs. He was and is a golden child ever to grace this planet, I am a female and I love you always, blessings to this "Genius"!

Legendary Purple Woo Woo Warrior mr. Bernie Worrell, thanks 4 sharing this footage..much respect to the legends!!....

Miss you bernie. Love 💕 you always.

Bernie was A Musical Genius! RIH♡

I saw Bernie and Bootsy in Toronto in 2012 I think it was, best show I seen ever!!!!

Goodbye sweet genius! May the funk be with you

thanks for posting all i can say is Bernie thanks for such great inspiration,advice and great music I love you bro......

Bernie was an absolute genius and was cruelly uncredited for the compositions that he wrote!!!

Like your style on how you play the keyboards. You are a true blessing to the funk genre!!!

Great interview! Bernie is my main inspiration!A true legend!

There will never be another Maestro like Bernie ☺️

Bernie Worrell great Legendary Musician!! I’m just learning about your greatest!! But grew up on your music with Parliament Funkadelic album!!🎹🙏🏽 Thank You!!🎶🎶

VERY HUMBLE TO BE SUCH A GREAT ARTIST RIP👍

Bernie was a personal friend of mine...we'd hang at my house and shoot the shit....I'm just a normal everyday kind of guy and so was Bernie. He NEVER talked about himself and believed in his "Higher Power"....Bernie you will be missed my friend....I can't call you anymore But I will see you again

great interview!

Loved hearing this,, so glad we have the web,,,take care Bernie, hey, my parents were strict too,,but the 1st funk I heard was sly stone's stuff, the late 70's was the first and the best funk time for me,,,,

What's incredible they had 7 straight years of dominance... just before Rick James, Michael Jackson and Prince broke out.. P-Funk was the dominance band before the 3 big superstar exploded. People waited for P-Funk's songs so they could run on the floor to dance. They were must see TV... with Mothership Space tour that broke all records. I so happy, we grew up during the greatest era of music to see vocalists groups, bands and mega solo superstars one after the other. Among my favorite eras are E, W & F, P-Funk, Cameo and Dazz Band, among others. And, my second were the vocalist era Spinners, Dramatics, Four Tops and then Temptations etc.

Gentle soul

givin' it up to the higher power

I'm a funkateer, thank you Bernie!

The man behind the man staying up front man.

this is the man behind the greatest p-funk song ever made: *FLASHLIGHT* 🔥🏆👍👏👑💖🔥🔥🔥

Woot Humphrey's Mcgee! I didn't know he played with them

wow

When bernie was at the music conservatory school in boston, best beknown he was the ghost director behind musicians at pops classical theater which was basically just across the street. He had the whole boston rocking P-FUNK at franklin park concerts back in early 70's. That was the first time i witnessed a cop busting someone in the head with a billy club. Unfortunately it was my p-funk fiend uncle that was the family stereo technician for the family.

My Plainfield NJ brethran!

Bernie please do a kidd funkadelic part 2

Hey Bernie. I want to know how you guy came up with Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk? What was the process, who did what, is that a guy or a girl doing the Sir Nose part? How long did it take? I do know a pitch shifter, flanger and delay was used, but who's idea was it? I'm curious about the strangest song in funk history.

Dope ass hat rip the coolest key man ever

Lovely man. Who is interviewing him?

seeing dude for the first time tonight down the street at a tiny little hippy club. its going to get weird

His style was similar to Andre 3000 when he was young.

I hope his family are getting some of the payback that Bernie should have gotten long, long ago. You know who you are. If you can't do it, then get your people to. #PaypackBernieWorrell. (Yeah, I know. But better late than never.)

When non oldschool people hear his P-Funk music today. They think of g-funk dr.dre. Hear that Andre? If you didnt break him off, it would be good on the heart and soul if you did.so. im just saying.

bernie your horn arrangments made me Ronny Reed ;a better trumpet pleyer and arranger,thank Jehovah God The Almighty for Bernie Worrell,play on bobba pee master

Yes, let's discuss sampling (or the lack thereof) in Hip Hop over the last several years. Hip Hop or at least the best selling Hip Hop sounds like 100% crap minus samples from the best musicians in the WORLD! Oh well... I'll just keep sitting around here on youtube listening to kids tell me how "good" that music is that they're doing. What's really HAWT or the chord progressions and key changes in it... (rolls eyes). #Reaping what's sown...

I've never sample Bernie worrell tracks I actually learn he's Style of playing

YEP-YEP! MISSING THE HUMAN TOUCH. NOTHING LIKE THE FUNK THE WHOLE FUNK AWAY OF LIFE!

READ THE SONG CREDITS ALL THE TIME HIS NAME WAS ALWAYS ON THE WRITER OF MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE ALBUMS

He made so many of us dance and have fun but this interview WOW Bernie much respect for you, his health is taking its told on him GOD bless the Worrell family !

The GREAT Bernie Worrell.

One word... HUMBLE.. RIP BERNIE

Please tell me what illness was he living with.

Funk u.f.o. Forever Bernie !

Andre 3000's style is similar to Bernie Worrel
