The trio started as primarily a jazz unit and released their first album, Ramsey Lewis and the Gentlemen of Swing, in 1956. Following their 1965 hit "The In Crowd" (the single reached No. 5 on the pop charts, and the album No. 2) they concentrated more on pop material. Young and Holt left in 1966 to form Young-Holt Unlimited and were replaced by Cleveland Eaton and Maurice White. White left to form Earth, Wind & Fire and was replaced by Morris Jennings in 1970. Later, Frankie Donaldson and Bill Dickens replaced Jennings and Eaton; Felton Crews also appeared on many 1980's releases.

That bass player is insanely good.
-
Mad respect to the engineer on this recording for that bass, simply incredible sound presence for an acoustic upright. 👍
-
Bassist knows exactly what he's doing. So fucking good.
-
This is what happens when three great musicians come together. They don’t try to overshadow each other. They do exactly what is needed. Their timing is impeccable.

Some people may not realize that Ramsey Lewis was just as responsible for "electrifying jazz" as Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. We have lost one of the greatest but we are blessed for having him for just a little while. May the Lord bless you Ramsey.

I think that bass player was born with that bass in his hand.. greatness
-
Cleveland Eaton on Bass. Extraordinarily good!
-
Greatest upright bass pickup tone that's ever been recorded. Somehow he turns the nastiness, gunk, and limitations of the pickup into strengths. Simply amazing
-
Cleveland is a killer bass player !
-
Gone but never forgotten. Rest in peace Ramsey Lewis. 🙏🏽

I'm 297 years old man living in the future and this song still sounds as good as it did back then. The bassman is grooving tight and playing right in the pocket. Absolutely killing it big time. Awesome!

These guys played at my high school back in the mid 80's. Small Catholic school in Arlington Heights IL. None of us had ever even heard of these guys. I remember the performance as one of the best live shows I've ever seen. Extremely talented musicians. Why they were playing my high school I have no idea but they were fantastic.

Saddened by the passing of Ramsey Lewis this week, sadder that it hardly reported in the news. Such a great talent, Rest In Peace and condolences 💐 to his family.

Rest in peace Ramsey, along with drummer Morris Jennings and bassist Cleveland Eaton

The interplay is just mind blowing. These men find space where it doesn't exist.

If you’re watching this in 2022 I want you to take a moment and realize this performance is 50 years old. (To some of us this still feels like yesterday 😅)

Rest in Paradise to Composer, Pianist and Jazz Extraordinaire Ramsey Lewis (1935-2022). Thanks for adding greatly to the soundtrack of our lives and for introducing us to the legendary Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire. You will be sadly missed, but your music will endure forever.

I'm almost 55 ... it's hard to explain the distant memories of childhood. Sometimes I forget, but this reminds me.

These are real musicians with real talent. Thanks for posting.
