People Get Ready, 1989 Curtis Mayfield, Taylor Dayne, David Lindley 

I totally agree. That sucked.

Which is also why you shouldn't have David Sanborn's sax spoiling the moment again.

!! agreed

@@anodyne57 eh I disagree. I definitely love the song without anyone featuring in it but that sac solo was sweeeetttt!

Agree

and musical director... George Duke!

thanks for the musicians line up 👍🏾👍🏾

I recognized David Sanborn immediately!

@BiggDogg . And not Curtis

🙏🌸🌺❤️

I thought a light rack fell on him.

it wasn't a tree branch

@@DjangoThunders Sadly, it happend🌸🌺❤️

The girl singing with him is Taylor Dayne (a powerhouse voice as well!) Awesome song, so much truth behind these words!❤❤😢

Brilliant musicians respecting each other, that was awesome.

🫅🏾🎤🏆🥇❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

Kelven! So very true 👍 this level of talent is sorely missing in today's so-called entertainment industry 😢 And I had never heard Curtis' voice( and I just turned 63!) This is absolutely 💯 generational, You simply can't improve perfection, Taylor is amazing as is David Lindley, he was much loved by my friends in the '70's- if memory serves he played on many LP'S such as Jackson Browne ,Linda Ronstadt, many others 💙

@Richard Barrick ...I have the double album Curtis Mayfield Live at The Bitter End in 1972. Just amazing!! They play this and it's incredible! They also do The Makings of You...OMG!! If you can find it I highly recommend getting it.

@@kelvendyson1508 l'll definitely pick up a copy, surely Amazon has it, again-- much appreciated 👍, Richard

It would excellent if you can get the younger generation to listen and understand the meaning 😢

It's right here..

Taylor Dane

Taylor Dayne was a major voice of 80's pop music..but there always seemed to be more to her than that. I wish we'd heard more from her..but we have this gem, here. & Curtis? He's just on a whole 'nuther lvl! Amazing..music exudes from his soul through his voice & hands.

Yes she does a great job on the songs she sings on this Sunday Night..one was a Stevue Wonder song...but can't name it tonight...😅

Her voice is strident and theatrical. Maybe fine fine for vacuous pop, but not this song.

❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

It’s a ticket to be in heaven with Jesus. God bless you

She never got the respect she deserved.

She's awful.

You spelled her name wrong. Smooth move.

​@@OMGWTFLOLSMH come on that was 5 years ago. He was only in 3rd grade 😂

​@@Blue_Dun: Stop being an ageist. 😂

david lindley...right behind the great curtis mayfield passed away recently and can't go unmentioned. i remember david sanborn on late night television but i never got to witness curtis who of course is an all time great so thank you.

That naming detail is so sweet!

oh yes bro

Right on brother

Thanks, Scott. That was good background. I thought it might have been a somewhat impromptu performance. Lindley's opening to the song is too loud, which is easily done when there isn't a proper sound check (perhaps it's that way on YT only, or perhaps it was the mixing). I agree with some who think the sax solo had too much vigour, but I also agree with those who think it was good. He certainly goes for his solo, but what else was he supposed to do--play it blandly? I don't agree with those who dislike Taylor Dane. I barely know her music, but she sang sympathetically, with feeling and restraint; she felt it. She didn't detract from Curtis; she added yin to his yang. In this video, we have the privilege of listening to one of the most beautiful, singular voices (and guitars) of Soul music, singing one of the great peans, which he also wrote. Curtis Mayfield was Great. It's understandable that people don't want to be distracted--they want pure Curtis. I'm grateful to be able to see a hero perform.

I lucked out and was invited to a taping of the program. It was quite eclectic with Sonic Youth, Indigo Grils, Diamanda Galas, Evan Lurie and the stellar regular band. Sonic Youth was LOUD.

All today's TV sucks

We all need to get on that train - together once again - as a model for the rest of the world. Show was called Night Music, produced by SNL’s Lorne Michaels.

@@geoCow Ahh, gotcha. I saw the Sanborn sax dude & Lorne Michal's name and that logo at the end..figd it was SNL, lol. & hallelujah on THAT train!

I first heard it in 1972. Rather cool isn't it?
