Wilson Pickett - Funky Broadway -Live -Unseen before 

HI DAVID ...SEE MORE OF THS WP SHOW ,I HAVE UPLOADED EVEN HIGHER QTY AS THIS CLIP SEARCH ON MY YT CHANNEL THIS....WILSON PICKETT - HEY JUDE +FUNKY BROADWAY LIVE NORTH SEA JAZZ 1995 -STEREO

Hey David, what year was this? Was Crusher with Wilson in 1967? There is a 1967 performance of Funky Broadway with the same drummer because he is playing traditional grip with his left hand.

@@plungerrecords1270 This was 1995. I don't know for sure but Crusher could very well have been in the earlier one you saw. The trumpet player/bandleader Curtis Pope was definitely in the one from the 60s. He was with him a long time!

@@dutchsoulman I'm definitely going to check that out today!

Fairly sure the '67 drummer with "Wicked Pickett" in available videos from that period was Elbert "Woody" Woodson, alive today, check "Drummerszone" for info. All of the few of us remaining "ole school" drummers played with a supinated left hand on the snare! No more! (@@plungerrecords1270

bigtime !

Johnny Long is a great sax player from DC. He was always ready to wail! Played with him in a few bands including the great Jimi Smooth. Curtis Pope is one of the best trumpet players in the world. He was Wilson Pickett's band leader since the 60s. He also played on records by Isaac Hayes and the Isley Brothers (It's Your Thing) along with his long time buddy the late great Skip Pitts. Skip was the best and most innovative guitar players in R&B music. He should be a household name. He went on the road with Gene Chandler when he was still a teenager. He came up with the funky lines in It's Your Thing but he's best known for inventing the wah wah guitar in Isaac Hayes Shaft. I would go see him whenever he was home in DC and TRY to copy what he was doing. Anyway, Skip and Curtis were with WP for many years. Curtis also had a great band called the Midnight Movers. I played gigs with them once in a while. So in 1995 when Isaac Hayes called Skip to leave the Pickett band and come back with him, Curtis needed someone to cover the position. Out of the dozens and dozens of fantastic funky soulful guitar players around DC, he for some reason called me. I'm forever grateful for that! Artie Sherman is a great jazz organ player in the mold of Jack McDuff and Jimmy Smith. He was a fixture on the DC circuit and played with the Midnight Movers. Whenever I got a chance I would play small trio jazz gigs with him and it was always fun and educational. Last but definitely not least is my great friend David Akers on trumpet. As good as he was on the horn, he was an amazing singer who could go from Louis Armstrong to Prince to James Brown to Dean Martin. And he was a great entertainer who could win over any crowd. He and I went on to co-found the Mustangs Band, one of the best bands out of that area. We played Colleges, weddings, and concerts up and down the East Coast for nearly 20 years. We had 4 of the best singers I have ever known. Besides David there was the late great Skip Mahoney who with his group the Casuals had many hit records, the late Barbara Malone who was the number one soul sister out of DC, the all around master performer Ignatius Mason, and the powerhouse Patricia Amaker who could go from Mavis Staples to AC/DC. We always had at least three phenomenal horn players, sometimes five.
