I love that it's not only Freddie on bass, but that is the same 1973 Precision bass he recorded the track with. Absolutely perfect, crushing, endless groove. This band is fantastic!
Freddy Washington on the popping and slapping bass guitar, ladies and gentleman! a Living Legend right there! Look at him....thats a man that loves the hell out of his music even after all the years!
YESSS!!! That is Mr. Fred D. Washington Jr. aka Ready Freddie playin that bass!!! He walks that groove EVERYTIME!!! ..he has played with just about everybody..
The guitarist is Paul Jackson Jr. - most people watching this will have no idea how many records they have heard his playing on. His CV is like a 'Who's who' of pop and soul.
Good point but also the bassist is “ready” Freddie Washington who also has a huge list on his CV ! Toured with many greats including Micheal Jackson ! 👍🏽
@@ameliopompeo5722 Yes of course. And, lets be honest, this is a catchy song but we are talking about it in 2022 because of his bass line and it's umpteen samplings.
That IS the band! Paul, Freddie and Patrice. Patrice is the greatest! Also one of the kindest and cool people you could ever hope to meet. Heck, when I was a kid, she took the time to hang with me, and to this day I appreciate it.
I’ve always felt Patrice is one of the most underrated artists of our time…however, her fans and certainly fellow artists know she’s magnificent!🕶🥁🎶🎼🎵🎤🎹🎸🎭
Freddie Washington is a legend! Huge session player, but also a long-time live bass player for the stellar Steely Dan band. Truly the backbone of their sound today
This bass line mezmerized me as a learner bassist when this song came out. Just had to learn it and still play it today. And here's the man himself playing his own line. Go Freddie.
What a classic groove that was co-written by living legend bassist Freddie Washington!!!! Patrice is soooo underrated as a musician and composer!!! Paul Jackson Jr. is a studio legend!!!
Giant of the genre! The Patrice and the band - superb. I remember this album and played it constantly in the vehicle. Remember when people played instruments?
Wow, what talent on that stage. Didn't realize that Patrice was SO versatile and talented until I started listening to more of her music in addition to "Forget Me Nots". And that bass player, LORDY that bass player! "Ready" Freddie Washington. SO solid and his timing is impeccable. And yup... that's one of the baddest bass lines to ever hit the airwaves! Love watching this performance. Sure wish Patrice and this band was touring. Wife and I would drive several hours in order to hear them.
laming2006 Check out not just Patrice’s albums but also her keyboard work on Jean Luc Ponty’s fusion albums ‘Upon The Wings Of Music’ and ‘Aurora’.....before she became a hit, she was already a serious virtuoso playing with ex-Frank Zappa musos and smashing it up with her solos and jazz voicings. She got da funk, yes.....but she’s a player, orchestrator, arranger, songwriter. And an inspiration frankly.
OMG Mike I'm with u all the damn way 💯👌Str8 FIRE 🔥🔥🔥I had to call the FIRE DEPARTMENT 🚒🚒🚒I know u heard them coming LOL!!!🚒🚒🚒Mike I grew up on this magical sound so grateful to have lived through this era of beautiful music this kind of music will never go out of style 💃💃💃💥💥💥💥💞💞💞👌Still listening how about March 03 2022
Talented and sexi as " all get out" .... this song was a beast in during the amazing 80's... what an amazing performance, I had to watch this 3 times.... The band is spectacular....
Wow I just realized thats Paul Jackson Jr. on Guitar! Freddie is such a great player saw him last year with Steely Dan , Paul,Freddie, Patrice , Warren Hill, Michael Paola incredible Jazz Giants what a band!
Qué recuerdos pues esa melodia me encantó desde que la escuché en jazz fm stereo cdmx, y se convirtió en una de mus favoritas,tiempo después la volví a escuchar en otra ciudad despues de muchos años, y casi lloré de la emoción ...bellos tiempos !
Such a great Performance of this Amazing classic! And topping it off with Lenny Castro on congas, one of the most recorded and sought after percussionists in the business..🎶🎼🎵
Well done Lady! You soldiered on even though unable to hear yourself through the monitors! Maybe muscle memory or key memory! Hit every note regardless! Brilliant, thanks, great song. love it! Such a talented Lady. Thanks for sharing the video!
Paul Jackson on guitar, he was the guitarist of Michael Jackson....only legends on this stage :)
And Freddie Washington on the bass guitar 😍
Knew he looked familiar!
Wow! With Paul Jackson Jr.!
I love that it's not only Freddie on bass, but that is the same 1973 Precision bass he recorded the track with. Absolutely perfect, crushing, endless groove. This band is fantastic!
Yes Mr. Freddie 'Ready" Washington he has one fantastic solo album titled "In The Moment" He also co-wrote this classic with Terri McFaddin.
THAT IS FREDDY HUH?? Dopeness 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great bass line on this song! Freddie is great!
I just watched a video interview with Freddy and he is still as relevant as decades ago. Plays perfect on that 1973 bass.
@@michaelweymouth4015 I saw that interview on Vertex Effects, amazing interview.
What a bassline. 40 years old and perhaps the best R&B bass line. Ever.
Freddy Washington on the popping and slapping bass guitar, ladies and gentleman! a Living Legend right there! Look at him....thats a man that loves the hell out of his music even after all the years!
👍🏼Then that must be Paul Jackson Jr. playing guitar.
Any idea when this live performance actually took place? Thanks in advance!
Steady Freddie 🔥🔥🔥
drummer is doing exactly what the song needs. shout out to him
Yep! Solid pocket..
You mean not a bunch of chops, fills and "flurries" to show that he's there!? 😂
Thank you!
people don't realize how "BADASS" Patrice Rushen really was.. She could play everything..
Nonsense -- she's still a badass, better than ever !
amazing... this is the first time ive seen her perform .... WOW....
What do you mean "was"?? She still is.
That’s why Prince admired her !
Yes she's one of my favorites
Paul J. is such a Humble Beast...I met him about 3 years ago at Gary Taylor 's concert...Soooo Sweet...♥
Incredible. Great singer, and that bass line is absolutely killer from Ready Freddie!
Someone that finally sounds good live
bass player working by far the hardest!!!
YESSS!!! That is Mr. Fred D. Washington Jr. aka Ready Freddie playin that bass!!! He walks that groove EVERYTIME!!! ..he has played with just about everybody..
Ah great. I must follow him then as I appreciate a good bass line. And that is a killer.
that bro is concentrating real hard !!, cuz Patrice can play that bass line just as good as he can lol..
Can you sing that high Simon Jones? :)
As Always. 😂🍺
That bass is the best!!! ❤
Freddy Washington on that bass... How he slaps it with such easiness deserves a whoole documentary on itself
I just so appreciate the drummer just locked in!! Music is not the same anymore.
Dem treez are dancing
The guitarist is Paul Jackson Jr. - most people watching this will have no idea how many records they have heard his playing on. His CV is like a 'Who's who' of pop and soul.
I like 'Personal Touch' from his solo album. Like to listen to it while I'm travelling.
Love that you bring light to the guitarist I will look into him
Good point but also the bassist is “ready” Freddie Washington who also has a huge list on his CV ! Toured with many greats including Micheal Jackson ! 👍🏽

That's a nice memory to have
Prince was crazy about Patrice!
My boy Paul J jr always jamin!!!!
This song is gold. The bass player is 👌, Patrice is queen, and of course much love for the Guitarist and drummer!
1982 40 yrs. Ago .
Iconic bassline played by the main man. Awesome
This is music! Back from the days when singing and being a good musician mattered.
I’ve always felt Patrice is one of the most underrated artists of our time…however, her fans and certainly fellow artists know she’s magnificent!🕶🥁🎶🎼🎵🎤🎹🎸🎭
Wow Freddie Jackson with original fender bass. Sounds amazing. Great Legendary line up.
Freddie Washington
Freddie Washington is a legend! Huge session player, but also a long-time live bass player for the stellar Steely Dan band. Truly the backbone of their sound today
He's also a really nice guy!✌️
This bass line mezmerized me as a learner bassist when this song came out. Just had to learn it and still play it today. And here's the man himself playing his own line. Go Freddie.
Remembering when that song first came out....
Did you guys even notice Paul Jackson Jr on the guitar??
That small stage is full of legends😳
one of the greatest rhythm guitar players of all time. insane lineup.
Lol...most musicians know who’s on the stage.... music lovers in general won’t know.
The first guy i recognised.
Then it pans across to Lenny Castro!

A great singer but also an absolute killer keyboard player. Super talent!
She is still beautiful 80’s memories with my mom 😢
Gotta love Freddie Washington's bass playing on this hit. They're all GREAT! Lots of health and good things to all of 'em especially Patrice.
