One of my favorite Patrice Rushen songs!!!! She is criminally underrated as a musician and composer!!! It's so cool to hear Marcus playing bass on this song!!!

Underrated by whom, Sir? People that don't matter. Not that I matter in the argument but I got my money on Patrice 7 days a week!!! Twice on Sundays.

Who doesn’t love Patrice?!

Patrice is one of the greatest pianists, composers, arrangers. and singers.

Patrice is soo under rated... 🌹

Man, Patrice, Marcus and Paul all in the same room together. Now that makes for magic!

She has always been an incredible artist

A true artist!! I love Patrice. So underrated, but we fans can enjoy and celebrate her greatness.

LOVE YOU PATRICE RUSHEN!!!! Big fan from afros & blue jeans, through micro braids & beads, to now! BRILLIANT artists are often under rated because they are committed to the art, not being a celebrity.

Badd!! The funkiest lady on the black and white keys..."forget her not" folks RESPECT always ..✌🏾

A star, a former neighbor, underrated but highly appreciated by many

Love Patrice her past present and future LA throughout Lock SC etc yet worldwide wish she was my neighbor vibe of a person super talented and always giving back to everyone just a beautiful Spirit ❤️

This is my favorite song by Ms. Rushen. I remember dancing the night away to this very jam at the SuperPort Night Club in Freeport,Texas. It was pure magic.

I always take Patrice Rushen's music with me whenever I travel.

I'm 45yrs old and born and raised in LA, and I love hearing me some Patrice Rushen....

The original album was in the car stereo for months and months and months ..... She is a master and we loved her music.

I so fell in love with Patrice Rushen when she played with Jean Luc Ponty almost 50 years ago. Amazing.

Straight from the heart was the best and still is I love LA musicians

PATRICE Rushed performed at Johnson c Smith university home when I was in college never forget that great band and musicians. Music good for the Soullllllllll

Patrice Rushen is a very Charismatic person, and a pretty good keyboardist. yess !

THERE ARE FEW WOMEN IN THE INDUSTRY, THAT CAN AND HAVE MASTERED THE KEYBOARD: QUEEN PATRICE RUSHEN, HERE'S TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFT◆◆◆◇◇◇◆◆◆

As a bass player, I would start at track one, practice every song on the album ( I'd repeat 'Forget Me Nots' a few times before going to the next song), and then start over again...

Paul Jackson Jr.🎸👍‼️

I have fond memories of Patrice with Jean-Luc, go'in back almost 50 years ago now.

Patrice Rushen always been badd and Marcus Miller on board is wicked funky. The band is slamming

Who would have ever thought Marcus Miller & Patrice Rushen she's such a great composer Musician singer and entertainer and I really love her and her music Go Patrice Go.

Just love this gal and what about the level of talent on that stage is just awesome 👏👏👏👏👏👏

There's that 80's feel. Light funk.

Marcus is my man, but I love me some Patrice Rushen!!!! Come to Cleveland and perform!! Nothing but love here.

May God in Heaven continue to bless her

Marcus and his original Jazz Bass. Nice!

My goodness. Love you Patrice. So talented and yet extremely underrated

Looking sexy as hell still ❤.

Patrice has jazz chops for days!

This performance made me forget all of my troubles.

Saw Jeff Lorber a number of times over the decades-and I have a number of his recordings-he is one of my all-time favorite jazz/funk/fusion artists-but when I saw Patrice playing the keyboards about ten years ago(from a recorded video performance of her in concert; where and when I don't remember), I was blown away by the level of ability she had attained to on the instrument-she was even better than Jeff Lorber-and I don't think I had seen anybody better than him for quite a while! No doubt about it-she is definitely one of the most underrated keyboardists/pianists of our time(could it be because she's female-and Black?)...mad props to Patrice Rushen! 11-8-23.

She makes it look so effortlessly easy. Thanx for this groove….

Wow what an allstar lineup Patrice on keys Marcus Miller Bass Paul Jackson jr guitar and Eric Marienthal on sax

As soon as I heard the guitar I said somebody been listening to my uncle Wah Wah Watson and then I see Paul Jackson Jr!!!!!!!! Great groove some of favorite musicians on this video!!!!!

I think I remember you posting about him on some other videos, right? And you should, he was awesome. Having a guitarist who can really groove elevates a tune so much. Listen to how much the groove on this changes when she starts her piano solo, and all that’s missing is the guitar part. As soon as he comes back in, it starts bouncing again. Very cool. And any video or anything you have on your uncle, post it! Would love to see it.

Badass musician she is

Saw her in London last week and she played this.

My Guitar Hero Paul Jackson Jr

I still listen to this song 41 years later

That bassline is off the chain.

Saw Ms Rushen perform last night in Camden, London at Koko's. Superb.

I give you a secret. Few people know that first the iconic Patrice Rushen is jazz woman. Yes she grow up and play jazz. But at the time jazzman didn’t give her the place she deserve in jazz music. With these strong bases she composed an wrote wonderfull modern jazz, jazz rock, and jazz funk. It’s how her music is so good.

Don't make stuff up. She has been at the forefront of music since she was 17. She's an ambassador for Berklee and is the first woman to become director of music for the Grammys. She's been a solo artist with hot songs, film scores she's done it all.

I first gain knowledge of Patrice when she was one of the session players on Jean Luc-Ponty’s album Aurora…then later on Lee Ritenour’s sophomore album Captain Fingers. Fantastic artist!

And this just goes to show how brilliant she is❤

Look at Patrice- still lovely ❤

Yes, yes Ms. Rushen is fantastic and has always been fantastic!!! 🎹 🎶 ❤
