Cornell Luther Dupree (December 19, 1942 -- May 8, 2011) was an American jazz and R&B guitarist. He worked at various times with Bill Withers, Donny Hathaway, King Curtis and Steve Gadd, appeared on David Letterman, and wrote a book on soul and blues guitar: Rhythm and Blues Guitar ISBN 0-634-00149-3. He reputedly recorded on 2,500 sessions.
Biography
Dupree began his career playing in the Atlantic Records studio band, recording on albums by Aretha Franklin (Aretha Live at Fillmore West) and King Curtis as a member of Curtis's band "The King Pins" (having grown up with King Curtis in Fort Worth, Texas). He appeared on the 1969 Lena Horne and Gábor Szabó recording, and on recordings with Archie Shepp, Grover Washington, Jr., Snooky Young and Miles Davis.
Cornell says more with one note than these shredders say with a thousand!!!! R.I.P.!
Fucking truth!!!
This man is the absolute master of rhythm guitar!
"As the Years Go Passing By"............You're sorely missed Mr. Dupree!
What a sweet guitar tone. He puts the soul in the blues.
Cornell Dupree. Never heard of him until I bought a record "King Curtis Live at Montreaux." MAN HE BLEW MY BRAINS OUT and there were all sorts of edit to his solos but how he comps. Man, he comps so damned tasty. His solo work is the tastiest stuff to this day I've ever heard. Utter warmth. He talks, man, so eloquently! So strong, so Gospel Church! I want to testify!
Thing is you’ve probably spent most of your life “hearing him”…you just haven’t “heard OF him”. Brother played on LOADS of smash hits!! Killer!!
@@tombstoneslim7070 If you're addressing my comment, I have no idea what you're saying at all. Lots of jerks like Clapton played on loads of smash hits. Why were they hits? You'd have to know the suck-ass nature of the business. In the day Curtis was the hitmaker, the business for all those great Texas players. When he died, things went downhill markedly into poseur Clapton rubbish.
I’m saying just like all the great studio cats of the day you heard them playing on everyone’s stuff but nobody knew who they were because they didn’t receive they’re just dues.
@billkarmetsky4003 - Cornell Dupree was/is one of the most-recorded guitarists in history, and if you have listened to popular music on the radio in the last half century or so, you have almost certainly heard him without realizing it was him. He played in the road bands of King Curtis and Aretha Franklin for many years, and then on the band for 'Saturday Night Live," called "Stuff" back in the 1970s-1980s. He also worked as a first-call session guitarist for decades playing behind everyone from Brook Benton to Madonna.
All of his work was very tasteful and often brilliant, but he really topped himself on his first LP as a leader, "Teasin'" which was done in 1974, if memory serves. All instrumental, using the cream of the NY session scene, plus the King Curtis and Aretha Franklin bands. David "Fathead" Newman, tenor sax; Bernard Purdy, drums; Jon Faddis, trumpet; Richard Tee, keyboards; Ralph McDonald, percussion; George Stubbs, piano and keyboards; Eric Gale, second guitar; Chuck Rainey, bass, and a bunch of other heavyweights. Do not walk, run - to order this recording! You will be very happy that you did. It is an absolute classic. Nothing like it has been done before or since.
And naturally, Dupree plays the heck out of his guitar on the album. It is just an absolute classic.
On the merits of his work besides this album, Dupree ranks as one of the most important and best electric guitarists of the 20th century, but this record really cements his status as an all-time great. Simply superb.
It is a particularly important recording since nothing like it could be made today. For reasons of economics, but also simply because the talent and experience level isn't there anymore. That whole music scene back then is gone for good. Even Dupree himself couldn't make lightning strike twice; he tried and the results were nice, but not up to the level of that 1974 classic.
great!!!!!!! that's the blues. Cornell Dupree is a giant.
Let the Shredders all go where they belong...to the real Shredder! Soulful playing beats any shredder.
Now we who struggle so long for so many years & so tears, hear👂🎶 the 5 tone Pentatonic Scale in his music 🎶👍thanks for sharing 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Tho I played with Stuff in the early '90's (At Tatou)- I met Cornell through Buddy Miles a couple years later...A wonderful man & a truly soulful musician!
Very very underrated guitarplayer. A peer to famous guitarplayers
Genio Cornell ídolo total !!
Holy s***. I worked at the bottom line from 1999 to 2002. I can't remember if I was here this night or not.
JUST FOUND THIS !!!
THANKYOU FOR POSTING .
MY FAVORITE GUITAR PLAYER FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS.
NO FLASH,NO PRETENTIONS ,JUST SOUL.
Just soul and heart!!!
His hands and their positioning really reminds of watching Jimi's, ....really big, look at that thumb, looks like it can bridge 3 strings!
I just love Cornell. SO MUCH soul .....have mercy!
been a blues fan for 40 year and just recently found this guy.....man I missed a lot. What a great player.
Don't forget his famous dad Champion Jack Dupree cause that's where cornell got his soul from.
@@paullevine1813 Not true...they make a joke about that at the '71 Montreau festival, but his father was Cornell Dupree, senior.
@@billkennedy8379 Guess i was in the wrong it seems. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I guess one should never assume things.
A fine gentleman. R.I.P. dear friend.
The perfect antidote to the "Blues Hammer" guys out there. The real thing.
agree 100%
2000 recording sessions with R&B legends or some rediculous number.
I Met Cornell In 1994 At CARAVAN OF DREAMS In Fort Worth , Walked Up During Break To Stage And Thanked Him For The 30+Years
Of Immense Pleasure He Had Given Me At That Point , Told Him I First Fell In Love With His Leads With Brook Benton , Then Aretha Franklin and KING CURTIS , STUFF , But That My Favorite Was WHATS UP ( Originally LIVE AT THE BUDDAKAN )With SADAO WATANABE --He Asked Me To Come Backstage and Visit With Him ...That Was the Beginning of a 17 Year Friendship
With “ MR. 2500 “ , RECORDED OVER 2500 Sessions With TheAforementioned , STEELY DAN , JOHN LENNON , THE SOUL SURVIVORS ,
BOOKER T. JONES , Far Too Many To Mention !!! INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT , KIND , DEEPLY SPIRITUAL BROTHER , And Blessing
Of A Wonderful Friend !!!? R.I.P. CORNELL DuPREE.
So much genuine finesse
Cornell had every bit of Texas Style Blues and R & B music in his soul . The Good Lord Blessed him ! he was so freakin ' talented
Looks like Jerry Jemmott on bass and Bernard "Pretty" Purdie on drums.. two legends in their own right and a part of one of the baddest rhythm sections of all time.
Pure, true and perfect 👌
Thanks for posting
we're still friends. にやられたままです。
Nice to hear blues without a guitar turned up to 12.
The most recogniseable sound of any picker. All that shredding stuff is soooo boring this is the boss cat. God bless you Cornell - I bet all them angels up where you are now are just having a ball.
Daniel Mendoza, amen to your comment. Having personally know, AND to have actually played with Cornel Dupree AND Eric Gale. It's NOT how many notes you play. It's what one does and the emotion behind each note. ONE note can mean MUCH MORE than a thousand.
Keith Loving did he always sing the notes when he played...
I just learning about Cornell. He played with Paul Simon and is famous for Rainy Nite in Georgia. He played with many great people.
Thank you for this!!!
Curtis knew how to pick ‘em
My Hero. He inspired the in the late 60,s and today.
reminds me of that joke about the old bull who walks down the hill and gets'em *all*
Brilliant! Thank You for posting that!
Cornell was a friend of Jimi Hendrix , they were the same age and even their bithdates were close )))
He played here a couple of riffs in Jimi style
Master of solo, i like the way he leads the melody.
Nevertheless he was a great sidemen too!
What a unique gitarist!
R.I.P.
Jimi and Cornell where together in king Curtis band for a few months
go ahead and listen
,,, the blues says more than most wise men..
.
Yes, indeed mate!!!
love how he sings along...
Cornell is the Man....i still have one of his early guitar tuition videos on VHS.
Masterful....
THE man!!
real blues, not a circus act, barbecue and beans, an intoxicating swing, straight arrow into your heart.Not show biz, churchy.
Joe Bonamassa got nothing on Cornell. So much to learn from this guy
If you are a fan check out videos of Dupree and Eric Gale playing together in the funk band Stuff.
My friend mitsuya marshall oyamada brought me here and he is indeed the Japanese jimi Hendrix
YOU are the lucky one!
absolutely perfect
This should have 1M views, whos the Alto player.his tone is nasty, very Marc Russo ish.
Excellent!
Great !!
Great !
Extraordinary. Thanks for sharing!
GREAT VID LARRY ! Yum ! Man, I miss him. Only 19 views ?.....come on people listen to the phrasing of an American Original !
RIP
Mr soul! Great
awesome
Had his own unique and instantly recognisable sound. He just coaxed and squeezed notes out of his guitar - he vocalises a little off key, and his fingers take over. There will never be another.
Sweet
He was careful to use a rhythm section that knew its place and remained there. No showboating or sudden leaps in volume - bass and drums knew the value of honoring the leader by holding steady.
El Señor...
He or Slash back in 1988 ??!
Whose Da Sax Man?
How blue can you get?
Seems like Jimi got some riffs from Cornell?
They played behind Wilson Pickett together, among others...so yeah, I'm sure you are correct.
he was the anti-Clapton.
his mouth :D
