Preacher Jack
Here's the great Preacher Jack from the 1970's.
I worked on the same bill as Preacher Jack a few times when I worked for J.B. Hutto and John Forward. He was a wild man.
Here is his very raw talent and musical knowledge on video from a local Boston TV appearance from about 1979 on channel 5 WHDH.
He once commented on my harp playing with : "When DJ is playing harp he goes into his Ted Williams stance."
For some reason that has stuck with me all these years.
And I still go into my " At Bat Crouch " position when I play harp today.
Anyway I have had this video since way back then and it should be on U Tube and seen by all...
I miss you Preacher Man....Bright Moments Brother...:) DJ

We stayed at a bed & breakfast when my sister was visiting Mass Gen'l for an interview...I strolled down the street to Newman Square in Cambridge, and went in to have a beer. Preacher Jack was playing. You would have thought there was an auditorium of thousands, instead it was me, my sister, and perhaps a dozen others....It was probably the best concert I've ever been to, and I've been to plenty...I bought two albums, had them signed, still have them and still listen to them, and that was decades ago at this point.
Preacher Jack is the man. I found 'Return Of The Boogie Man' in a record store in Berkeley 12 years ago, bought it without knowing a darned thing about him, and most definitely didn't regret it. He is electric.
I soo enjoyed his energy was awesome thank you♥️🕊♥️
Underrated, great rock 'n roller!
Played with him while I was in prison! Yup, he came by to play for us and I got to sit in with other members of my band. He was fantastic! He killed it and tore the place apart. Prison is a tough group to play for!

Замечательно!!! Почему я раньше не знал об этом талантливом человеке...
Wow 🎹✨🎶💃 Awesome 🎹✨
Super Talent IMO
I hired him to play my piano on the front stage at Dodge st. bar&grill...He is a interesting cat, he had issues and is on the level 3 records. I tried to help him and paid him well. He is hanging on by a thread at Tewksbury state hospital. God bless him he is a talent.

Preacher Jack needs to get over to the Catbird Cafe on Sat afternoons ..at the NewEngland Wildlife Center..he os great!
Back in the 80's we had Preacher Jack at our bar in Truro, N.S. on a couple occasions . It was an event like the Stones had come to town. His energy was a little unpredictable and unstable, but entertaining for sure.

A todo el público, leo aquí, naturalmente en inglés, agradeciendo a este genio. Yo soy argentino, tengo 74 años y... este hombre me alegra las tardes. No está, en consecuencia, atrapado por el presente, aquí habemos gentes que valoramos su capacidad, su vuelo, en el mundo de la música y de la individualidad que cada uno sabe involucrarle. OJO: ¡SOY ARGENTINO!

He may not have known what an adjective is, but the man knew Boogie-Woogie, and you DAMN well know, for sure, that he knew was a woman is!
Cool
Loco lindo jaja Que epoca !!!!
Great
This was done at WCVB ch 5, not WHDH. WHDH went off air and WCVB came on in spring of 1972, However, "Five All Night, Live All Night" did not air for about a couple of years later. Nonetheless, Jack is a Boston treasure and I for one am grateful this has been uploaded.

I see him wandering around Salem occasionally, looking homeless (which, as I understand it, at times he has been in recent years). Very sad to see him in such a reduced state. Although as I understand it, and as he's intimated in a couple conversations, he brought that on himself in large part.

+pike606 If that's what you take from what I said, then you've misread the tone of my comment entirely. He's an extremely talented performer, and a nice man. If I had the means to help, I would, but I don't. And in the few conversations I've had with him, without my prompting, he has, half-jokingly, talked about how he's gone through, and is still going through, a lot of hard knocks, and that nobody's to blame for that but himself.

Where is Preacher now? I really want to see the great man play piano rockerof88s@yahoo.com thank you
Where's this guy been? I'm probably a few years older, and never heard him before. I saw a comment down below that said "this guy could run rings around Jerry Lee"....I agree!

Who, just seen someone say he’s not in the same class as Jerry Lee! That’s right, the preacher could play circles around Jerry Lee! The preacher was a phenomenon! Could play in his sleep! It was nothing for him when he played, like breathing! He would have Smoked Jerry Lee Lewis! Watch his hands. Some of the musicians that play take time off there reg gigs to play with the preacher for 15 min. When these are top shelf players.

Lest preaching, and play some rock and roll
he may have talent playing the piano a little but as a singer...no way.....The Killer has no worry here, as this is not in the class with Jerry Lee Lewis.....

For me he is even a class higher then Jerry Lee Lewis
Wish he would shut up and play.
Very energetic and franetic but not quite as good as JLL.
