      Well anything live adds to the texture with all the musicians watching them. The original does sound the same I agree. I don’t know when this came out but I’m 63 and graduated HS 77.

He was the first black man to do a complete major motion picture who controlled his publishing...he has so much money my friend. He was giving a away licenses on word of mouth. He was a giver and he did music for free in a lot of cases over the years. FACTS! Another person is Kevin Bacon - he is doing everyone's sessions with guitar work.

      They all have no clue about reaching down, pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, putting one foot in front of the other and walk on over to that big box store where they have that sign saying "Hiring Now"
      They will have their opportunity to hear the music as soon as they walk right over to that big store, get down and fill out that simple application.
      And when they / you do the time, stay with that big store (Kroger, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.,etc., you will be rewarded by those at corporate.)

    It’s 20 years after this was done, and it just goes to show that great music never dies! It sounds as good today as it did back then, and while many of the talented artists from the past have passed away, thanks to the technology we now have, we’re still able to watch the videos of the performances! It’s a shame that many of the ‘younger’ generation doesn’t seem to appreciate this type of music.
