Holy shit, two national treasures playing together.

You hear the term 'female vocalist' every once in awhile. Rachel Price is what they're talking about. As a singer she is a powerhouse.

Rachel Price is the real deal for real, truly.

Jon Batiste + Rachael Price + Prince's song. What a treat!

#RachaelPrice brought me here..glad I got to see them in Baltimore a few years ago thanks to #WTMD @ their hosted 'first Thursday ' concert series..missing the good times! Fuck Covid💯🖕🏾

Rachael is amazing! Her vocals have a way of melting your soul.

So glad we still have (real) amazing singers, and who don't act like they're above the rest of the world. Love you Rachael!

I love her voice!!! She can carry a not into the stratosphere. And, mister fingers hit the notes. The group deserves several Grammys.

A good ear you have! This was the house band for the radio show Live From Here on NPR, with special guest Rachael Price and special guest host (on piano) Jon Batiste. Jon is nominated for eleven Grammys this year.

She is amazing. Doesn't have the fame she deserves.

OMG! Rachel Price, I just can’t get enough.

Oh.my.god.rachel.is.a.queen.

I think Jon is probably the best Jazz pianist of his generation, and his band on the Colbert show is the best live band on TV. This performance also highlights what a great jazz singer Rachel is. A masterful performance from both of them, and the band do an amazing job of keeping up!

It's hard to imagine how, and Rachael Price keeps on getting better!

Rachael has a tremendous voice, truly talented.

Wow. Late to this. Listening to Prince tracks. Her voice lifts this,what a beautiful creation his sounds were. Miss him beyond words….

This woman is simply astounding. She's got her own sound, but she's a mixture of Aretha, Winehouse, Joss Stone and god.

I never cry about anything, just musical performances likes this. By the end of the video I realize the tears and think "what just happened?"

This is most excellent. RIP Prince!

Excellent human beings in every way

Love that Rachel and Cory Wong are both present. What an amazing collaborative performance. Would have loved to attend this concert. Thank you Mr. Baptiste for putting this together

You Give me Butterflies in my heart Rachel. My thanks and admiration. Not for your Beauty but for your soul.

Damn it! I miss this show! Such a damn shame its gone.

Was next on my play list...Prince ANYTHING. Good Gawd!❤

Insanely fabulous! Rachael's voice never disappoints, and that was some of the tastiest blues/jazz piano playing I've ever heard. It's easy to be disgusted by the current musical landscape, but the silver lining is that occasionally a show like this rises up and becomes a musician's (and listener's) paradise kind of thing. This caliber of musicianship is relatively new, even if the great stuff has mostly already been written, and it's a joy to hear.

Ms. Price, simply a joy listening to your instrument.👏👏👏

This is heaven, guys. Almost tearing. Congratulations for this gem. A big hug from Brazil, and thanx for helping me to keep dreaming. ;)

She's got such a smokey sultry soul reaching voice!

Loved when I saw LSD cover when you were mine, this is amazing too. Great cover. Always happy to have more Prince interpretations in the world.

Rachel Price peut tout chanter. Voix magnifique. Grande sensibilité. Bravo. La prestation du pianiste est grandiose.

Beautiful duet--his keyboard, my oh my, lovely pairing of voices.

Love her voice

Rachael + J. B. = PURE JOY

I love her so much.

Rachels voice goes down smooth.

Old school with feeling music !!!

Wow & wow...Thank-You !!!

Жыл бұрын

The show plug was weird. Kinda removed me from the magic of the song. I definitely wish that didn't happen. Judging by the body language of the band tho, I'm almost positive that this was not the only song they did together and she got introduced earlier. I went to a taping before they changed the name and the guest bands played multiple songs "off air". It was pretty awesome but also wish those performances were taped too, lol

​@@Rhythm04 Listen to what Jon Batiste says at the very beginning - "Now it's time for our local break". The show and its predecessor PHC would take breaks for the local radio stations to do their thing, and play music for the duration just for the auditorium audience. That's why Rachel Price says "Welcome back..." at the end. The sad part is that the radio audience never got to hear this gem.

Just Wow! Does she ever turn in a bad vocal? Jon Batiste excellent as well. Much better than on Colbert. That NOLA flavor. Great performance by all.

This is one of my favourite under-rated Prince songs and part of the grief of losing Prince is that even Jon Baptiste cant play piano with the same musical swagger and cadence that Prince did . - Alicia Keys cover is closer. Rachels vocals were effective. But Im glad that decent musicians are including more Prince tracks in their repetoire, hopefully not just when in Minnesota.

Rachaels doin some different stuff and these guys are good but somehow I get the feeling she could be doing much bigger things

You guys betta stop playing mmmmmm

Okay I've certainly a few of the coming and it's time for you to play devil's advocate! Can she sing yes, is she original NO!!! She reminds me of Tina Marie, no disrespect Christina Marie was much better!!! The confederated scared trying to be too politically correct because she's a white girl who sounds like she's black! Teena Marie was genuine this girl I'm not feeling it at all! And if that offends anyone, put on the big boy big girl pants it's not racist it's factual!

Agreed ... a surprisingly weak song. I hung in, knowing the artists would salvage that poor material ... and of course they did!

I guess the piano player is Chris Thile? His vocals were horrible. How did he forget the piano stabs and percussive bass notes in the left hand that anchor that song. Come guy if you're gonna do a Prince tune its got to inspire. Rachel tried to salvage the song. The original just had more personality. Great job Rachel. Nobody can sing like PRINCE!!!!!

@roytee3127

Жыл бұрын

Nope. Anybody who knows anything about this show would immediately recognize that the piano player wasn't the twitchy white mandolin genius Chris Thile. As it says in the top notes, it's Jon Batiste, a premier jazz pianist. As any jazz pianist worth his salt does, he's making his own version - a gospel/blues with an incredibly sweet piano opening.

Yo bro take back bein a baller brag and I would have somthin for ya. But even sp this is a joke. Its one thing to see it its one to be it and ya aint got bein it

I think John Baptiste is a great musician. But he sounds horrible singing this song and so does she

Song has no energy.

What shocks me is your success. This is by far the worst version of this song. I feel confident Prince would dismiss a fool.
