    I really, truly, don't even think we know, not the black community, not the music community, not the United States, and certainly not the world as a whole, just who & how much we lost when we lost George Duke! The level of musical commitment and the genius of this man CANNOT be overstated! Whenever I hear him doing what he so passionately loved to do, I feel like God is near...and smiling! Brother, You are missed by so many!

      Such a beautiful comment and eloquently said. He played with such understated elegance and could be @ home in any musical setting. We miss his music but thank The Good Lord that he allowed Mr. Duke to leave us with so many great albums, collaborations, (such as this stellar one with the irrepressible Kirk Whalum) and interviews! God bless the Duke family. Thank you and God bless you & all!

Thank you for perfecting and offering life through your gift. With such humility... What greatness! Love you forever. Thank you also to Kirk Whalum for setting this up, and to all the precious musicians for making this unforgettable experience possible! Love you all!

    After having gone through a very painful separation last year in which my daughter was temporarily taken away from me -- which undeniably was a life-changing year for many -- hearing this song makes me realize that one of the best moments in my life was when I was able to make her love George Duke's music and songs when we were still together.
    You're in the Good Lord's kingdom now, Mr. Duke, and keep playing those lovely piano tunes with the angels.

    I'm a grown adult man. Stong. Director of people. I give strength and encouragement to as many as I see. But I weep as baby, listening to this soul-moving music. I cry. Not for George, because he did his job ! I cry for the spiritual connection I feel to God, when I hear this gripping soulful spirit touching communion with God Almighty, Almighty God. Thank you George.

      @tenintldirector9031 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @ John, thank you for echoing my thoughts. This composition went beyond what man could bring to the table. The message is for every heart, God doesn't love us because of how much we have or how much we can give Him. His love for you and I are without price. George did what he was called to do that day; His heart and focus was towards God, its like being privy to a personal conversation and the people were more than blessed.

    This song speaks to the heart and soul of those who have ears to hear, hear the seer spiritual content of its message. Indeed no vocals are necessary; for the Lord is the lyrics! Thank you Abba Father for sharing this "Divine Gift" (if only for a short time) which we have come to know as George Duke...and thank you George Duke for legacy of great music that you left us...Rest in the Perfect Peace of the one who gifted you...Because He Loved You.......Selah

    History will forever remember you this way, Mr. Duke. Thank you for truly touching lives with your playing. Over all my years of playing keyboards, seeing people come and go, going through the different stages of life, this work of art remains one I continue to come back to. And I always, always leave teary-eyed and inspired to keep going. Thank you. Just thank you. 🤍

      Song written by Diana Warren

  • @rogercook8277
    @rogercook8277 4 ปีที่แล้ว +166

    One of my favorite songwriters wrote this song. Diane Warren. It is amazing how you can write a song and can turn out to have more than one meaning. She said in a interview, that she wrote this song about her father. Her father told her to follow her dream on being a songwriter. Her mother on the other hand was thinking about her career in more of a practical way. You know, playing it safe when it comes to making a living. Celine Dion was the first one to record the song back in 1996. I wonder if Miss Warren ever dream that a master musician like Mr. George Duke would take her song and take it to a level beyond this universe. He was telling God with his fingers that he is everything he is because he loved him. Amen Amen and Amen. R.I.P. Mr. Duke.

    George Duke connects to an audience in an incredibly powerful way, yet it's never the cheap victory, he wins them with pure musicality. He showed them something in music they didn't know was there, not by showboating, but finding the purest notes that connect straight to the heart. It's nice to hear him on piano here, he's usually the funk master of the Rhodes. RIP great one

    On August 6, 2013 we lost a Great One. I was fortunate to grow up in the era of George Duke. I remember the projects he used to do with Stanley Clark. The way he plays that piano, you can not teach that. Need I say that again? THE WAY HE PLAYS THAT PIANO, YOU CAN NOT TEACH THAT. That is a God giving talent. One of my all time favorite songwriters wrote this song. (Diane Warren}. I know when she wrote it, she had no idea a legend like Mr. Duke would take it to heights she couldn't have even imagine. My Lord My Lord My Lord. R. I. P. my brother in Christ.

      David Faulks Jr as a musician (not nearly as good as these masters though), I'd be offended if someone said to me I have a "god given talent". I worked for it. I practiced for several hours every single day for it. And then someone says that my skill depends on god? No way dude, I respect religious people, but I had such a long and hard time practicing, I won't let someone give to god the credit for the way I play my instrument.

    I echo all of those positive comments on this magnificent playing by all, but certainly and most importantly, George Duke. George was clearly inspired by the Holy Spirit in his playing. I love how Kirk Whalum just watches and marvels at the crazy great playing by George. Thank you George for your amazing talent, but thank you most of all that on this day, YOU immersed your playing with the Holy Spirit, and the results were a once in a lifetime performance with an audience completely tuned in to what God was saying and doing! May God truly rest your soul. For those of you that chose to respond negatively to this performance, I can only say that one day, I truly hope you will come to understand and revere what was really going on in this video.

    Whoever tuned that piano needs a medal. Classical pianos get even tempered but this is tuned to a key centre - George and the audience know it and he's truly inspired to his greatest recorded performance. I cried tears of joy and pain throughout. I praise your lord, and know that I will find mine again. I will spread kindness because of your music today. Thank you Mr. Duke and all the musicians and that beautiful audience for their pure joy and love that they gave part to me. Peace, and bravery to my father and everyone in a dark place today.. Sincere love for posting, amen.

    This is so totally beautiful to say the least and i´m sure that the most who sees/hears this starts to cry just like George himself did. You can only play this emotional when God is present. Maybe he somehow knew that his belowed Corrine would pass away a few years later never the less this is the most beautiful piano solo i´ve heard for a very very long time. R.I.P. George we will miss you forever and ever like crazy but we know you are with the Lord now.
