This is what music is all about. It's not about a flurry of notes or who's the best or someone trying to one-up someone else. No, no. Music is supposed to reach into your soul. These two musicians know exactly how to do that. Damn!
Ruth Brown's comeback is one of the greatest. She was literally working general labor jobs from the 70s to the early 80s. It was red foxx, whom she'd worked with in the 50s, help her kickstart her comeback, and the rest is history.
Isn't it wonderful to see pure, unassisted (no auto-tune) talent. It's no wonder that Ruth Brown and B.B. King are legends and we "old school" fans (I'm 62) find this new crew of singers and musicians in 2016 an absolute BORE. Thank God for TH-cam. I start my mornings with a big dose of music history. Thank you Ruth Brown and B.B. King for being there for all of us!
Can't get any better than this. There are very few performances that I can listen to over and over again but this is one of them. We've lost two great ones. This warms my heart. RIP Ruth and B.B. You will be missed.
+barbara Massey No way Barbara, this will keep us young. Yes we will all have to go eventually but when we do I'll be right there with ya! Blues heaven!!! Thanks for your comment short and beautiful. you've got it goin on, thanks.
Ruth B brings the energy that b.b. can meld with. Ruth Brown is the rhythm queen that built Atlantic Record's. Two legendary performers bringing the 🔥 for us to see.🎶
This woman was a LEGEND. LOVED her. Saw her many times over the years, and she was always phenomenal. BB, of course, is AWESOME. Wish I'd seen these two together!.
WHAT AN AWESOME TREAT !!!!! TAKE HEED YA'LL YOUNG SINGERS ..THIS IS REAL MUSIC , TRUE ENTERTAINMENT, THESE ARTIST ARE FEELING WHAT THEIR SINGING...ITS GENUINE NOT ARTIFICIAL
Thank you so much for this video it touches my heart and my soul and yes this is brown liquor drinking and baby making music ohyeah to of one kind thank you again Justified
15 thumbs down? What the hell is wrong with these people, no taste, no class. Two legends, great every time they went on stage. There needs to be a thumbs down police, thumbs down on this, is a crime!
Ruth sings out that first "LORD" note, I'm already mashing that 'like' button.
What a woman. What a voice.

"Don't touch me like that. I can't stand it." Perfect, absolutely perfect.
OH Lordy Lord this should be REQUIRED listening for EVERYONE alive
This is one of my favorite BB King performances. His personality is on display. We shall not see his kind again. R.I.P., King of the blues.
Hi! can you tell me what key this is in pretty please!?

Eternel
Un grand moment
Beautiful. Genius. Timeless. But am I the only one here getting a bit teary-eyed. Thanks for posting. RIP Miss Ruth & The Master.

+Rockabilly Strangers Just ignorance times 15 Rockabilly!
I miss that generation of musicians terribly. I got to know Big Jay McNeely pretty well.
toda vez que assisto isso choro,de inveja dos que viveram nos anos 50 e 60 o misto de essência e romantismo do blues.
