Last year I attended a tribute to the music of Miles Davis/Gil Evans “Sketches of Spain” the line up included great artist, Ronnie and his brother Hubert Laws we part of the band and needless to say it was a great night of music.
The laws bros left their initials all over the cti.lable back in the 70s along with all the other great players in the Era kudos and thanks so much for all the tunes. Godbless.
One thing I really love about Ronnie is he has the same personality as before he was famous. Looking at this clip is like going back in time. He aged well, good lord! Though my earliest memory I was about 6 in his living room and my last time I saw him I was 18 at Dodger Stadium. The Laws Family, bros and sis.and his kids(our families have the same name sakes, talk about friends) My Ma still see's him occasionally and his Wife beautiful, still the same loving wife probably over 43 yrs!!! Cause Im 48 now. I last saw his namesake 2009. Good Lord! Ronnie Jr. is his fathers son. True men of Jah!!
As I listen to his horn he transports me back to the first time I ever heard Ronnie Laws and it's timeless. Thank you for this, I really needed it this morning.
One thing I really love about Ronnie is that he still plays ALL of the horns that made him FAMOUS! Many sax players PAY THEIR DUES on "one" horn and then begin working with another one and just leave their real love behind! I just don't understand!
I'm feelin' you Ronnie!! I hate playing by the water cause it will affect the way your axe sounds, responds and even feels. I can see what's going on with his soprano and I can actually feel it cause It has happened to me not a good feeling, especially with my sopranos. But, once the tune starts, as a pro, ya just gotta work through it. Do your thang Ronnie!!!!
I don't know who that kid is on the keys, but I do know that he's a force to be reckoned with. Do you guys remember Greg Phillinganes. He did the CD Fairy Tells for Anita Baker. Well that's him on the keys & needles to say that the man is a cold piece of work & so is this kid. Whatever his name is, we'll be hearing him again. Big ups kid 🖤...
OH RONNIE I MISSED YOU AT THE DAKOTA LOUNGE (IN MINNEAPOLIS) THE OTHER DAY. Didn't know you (and TOM BROWNE) were in town till I heard the DJ announce it, AFTERWARDS! aaaaaahhhhhh!
If the term 'smooth jazz' has an existence, then its embryonic life must go to Ronnie (and, of course, Grover Washington).listen Ronnie's 'Fever',1973 -there about. Najee, Beasley,Kim Waters,Boney James, ...are soprano influencees OF Ronnie's (and Grover's.
Ronnie laws was the Style of 20 Centry as Ryme and Blues saw most applicable among people of Color gave use Selfest and focus on relative in and recreating wisdom in Idea of living for future Growth !
True story: Ronnie is so great that he made my hysterical girl dog calm down after seeing other dogs!! Ronnie is a.MASTER bcuz My Precious ( my dog) is s.HELLION! 😆
Great Jazz performance of the classic and realistic more than just a song "People make the world go round." However, Goddesses and Gods make the earth fly, spin and move through the universe with a counter revolutionary spin.
The keyboard player is AMAZING! I enjoyed this entire performance but Mr. Gerard Gibbs is just giving it up! That's a badddddddd man!. Thanks for the post *goes right into favorites*
Saw Ronnie Laws & Angela Bofill double bill in Chicago years ago. Wonderful concert. I feel that RL never truly got the accolades. Nothing against Kenny G but that's where the hype was directed.
@livegigvideo1 Thanks for the info...God willing..I hope to attend a Smooth Jazz Festival concert....looked like everybody had a good time. These cats were OFF THE CHAIN!
He got me through my stint in the US Air Force where I was miserable in an isolated area.. Ronnie Laws saved my essence.
AIM HIGH! airman

Are we just going to ignore the drummer!??🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow! Yes! These guys are so tight!
My thoughts exactly. Cat killed it! Wish I knew the band's names at least
@@BGdrummer Gerard Gibbs on keys, Perry Hughes on guitar, Karl Holmes on Bass and Ron Otis on drums. Phenomenal musicians in Detroit.
Ronnie Laws' version of "People Make the World Go Round" is MESMERIZING!
Before Boney James, before Kirk Wylum, and these new cats it was Ronnie Laws and family 👪 Man!.......
Everyone in the pocket, letting the soloist do his thang.💥🔥💪🏾😎👍🏾
2021 AND GOING INTO 2022, INFINITE DOPE SOUND FROM ONE OF THE GIANT KINGZ OF ALL JAZZ HISTORY100! #SIRLAWS👑 #COMPTONCALIWESTCOASTLOVE💙
Music makes the world go round
Very well put. Great comment.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Lovin' that too🌿💚🫂💛🌿
Ronnie Laws is like vintage wine... he just mellows through the years... Go one with your bad self, yeah!
My favorite sax player of all time in this world.. Thank you Mr. Laws for your work.
It may be old school, but it's oh so sweet, sexy, & soulful. Today's youngsters should learn to appreciate music like this.
+Skip Hedgepath oh believe me im one of the ones who really do.
Some have no idea....but this video is a major clue...of what REAL SMOOTH JAZZ should sound like. This is my ROCK Music baby!

Una musica così l'ascolterei tutta la notte.
E molto bella ,ei componenti musicali sono molto bravi 😊
These guys are truly awesome, I can't find the words. I guess, enough said.
Last year I attended a tribute to the music of Miles Davis/Gil Evans “Sketches of Spain”
the line up included great artist, Ronnie and his brother Hubert Laws we part of the band and needless to say it was a great night of music.
Wow! Who else in that lineup?
The piano player's solo is dangerously brilliant.
Bless you!!! Thank you for your kind words!!!
The laws bros left their initials all over the cti.lable back in the 70s along with all the other great players in the Era kudos and thanks so much for all the tunes. Godbless.
tight, smooth, and absolutely delicious. these are some flat out masters right here.
I'm still thinking but I can't find the words to describe the beauty of this rendition.....
One thing I really love about Ronnie is he has the same personality as before he was famous. Looking at this clip is like going back in time. He aged well, good lord!

Stevie Ashley: True sister thats what happens when we live good,Ronnies music is great.
Kim Me BEAUTIFUL
I love Ronnie Laws' music !!!! He is so underrated to me. His pandora station is amazing. He has so many hits 🤩 This is timeless music
Classic music like this, makes the world go round. Nothing better than great jazz to relax the mind, heart and soul.
I'm also an USAF.veteran and my HS band rocked "ALWAYS THERE" before I went to Lackland in 1979.Thank you for your service.✈✈🛩🛩
Saw Mr. Laws play this live in Columbus, Ohio a few years back. Jean Carne was with him.....a great show!!!
Jean Carne!
As I listen to his horn he transports me back to the first time I ever heard Ronnie Laws and it's timeless. Thank you for this, I really needed it this morning.
Top quality stuff; now that's what I call a keyboard solo
I didn't know what I was part of during the 70's, but all l can SAY is WOW
Ronnie is was and always will be the man!!
He learned well from his older brother Hubert.
...simply amazing!
Great music music Play by musicians
literally, music to my ears
Ronny Laws sweet then and even sweeter in 2020 take notes youngsters.
I love old school. Music
BIGG SHOUT OUT TO ALL MY FELLOW BABY BOOMERS OUT THERE.

One thing I really love about Ronnie is that he still plays ALL of the horns that made him FAMOUS! Many sax players PAY THEIR DUES on "one" horn and then begin working with another one and just leave their real love behind! I just don't understand!
I miss my Detroit Brothers.
Rip Carl Holmes.
Ronnie The Man. So Talented and Respectful to Others and "HIS" Music.
Peaceful Soul Sound at this Time of The Morning...
excellent background to great music
I'm feelin' you Ronnie!! I hate playing by the water cause it will affect the way your axe sounds, responds and even feels.

Ronnie you are the greatest. And I love you on sax..when can I see you in concert..I have most of your C D,"s

💜💜
Right on Ronnie not only do I love that song by The stylistics but now man you you made it the Ronnie laws way

I thank the Universe for you and thanks for sharing your smooth jazz with us.
Absolutely Amazing ; )
Incredible ! The Brother on keys, I'm speechless...
Thank you!!!
I have several "vocal" settings on my Kurzweil. His playing has opened up many new ideas for me. thanks.
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove this.
Ronnie Laws Number 1 Number 1 Number 1 From The Beginning UNTIL Never Ending Just Turn Him On and Party 💯💯💯💯💯💯
People Make the World Go-Round....Every Generation....
Serious business. Mr. Laws is layin' down the law here real nice and refined. The entire band is pure punch and harmonic dynamite.
Richard D. Ruttenberg well put!
Brillent. Drummer has played for Mr Earl Klugh
that explains it. That the tightest drummer I've ever seen play.
I don't know who that kid is on the keys, but I do know that he's a force to be reckoned with. Do you guys remember Greg Phillinganes. He did the CD Fairy Tells for Anita Baker. Well that's him on the keys & needles to say that the man is a cold piece of work & so is this kid. Whatever his name is, we'll be hearing him again. Big ups kid 🖤...
The drummer...wow! tasty and in the pocket!
Beautiful
Crisp, funkedelic. Drummer is the Pits. Korg guy is again pretty inventive..Best rendition of the Stylistics classic I've ever heard
How is the Drummer "the pits"? He's keeping the pocket tight & adding flourishes.
@@jonsmith848 the “pits” means he’s really good;; he’s “down “. Get “with it” , Jon!
@@jonsmith848I guess now 'the pits' means like 'badder than bad' lol!!
See what happens when we are on the same note,so good.
Love this -- Awesome!
You Betta Play That DAMN Piano!!!!!!!!!!🎶🎶🎶🎶💋💯👓💜🍻
Execellent quality!!!
Love the couple Chicago stepping in the audience!!!
This song is crazy just from them!!!!
Grover Washington , David Sandborn and Ronnie Laws....need i say more...
OH RONNIE I MISSED YOU AT THE DAKOTA LOUNGE (IN MINNEAPOLIS) THE OTHER DAY. Didn't know you (and TOM BROWNE) were in town till I heard the DJ announce it, AFTERWARDS! aaaaaahhhhhh!
Wondeful post.....You get the feeling your really there just by watching your vid,
...WOW!....That piano playin....lovin it..
Thank You :O)
To me, Ronnie Laws can make a soprano and sopranino sax talk!!! He is like Gene Ammons/Johnny Griffin on the tenor
WestSide Connect Gang Dropped the Sample 😉
If the term 'smooth jazz' has an existence, then its embryonic life must go to Ronnie (and, of course, Grover Washington).listen Ronnie's 'Fever',1973 -there about. Najee, Beasley,Kim Waters,Boney James, ...are soprano influencees OF Ronnie's (and Grover's.
This So Smooth~ Playlist add ~ Patio&Wine

Thank you very much!! I guess those "50 cent" piano lessons worked out after all!!
This sounds great. I wish the audience wasn't so loud.
Music that’ll make ya start a conversation with that beautiful lady seated across the room. She knows...
