I'll Be With You - Bernie Worrell


A friend of mine was talking about the Bernie Worrell documentary this weekend at my BBQ. I always think everyone knows who this dude is, and am shocked if someone doesn't. I guess not everyone knew how important this guys was as he's mainly been "behind the scenes".  Almost more like a studio musician that can turn a good track into a great one on occasion. He is the reason I wanted a keyboard to begin with, hearing Parliament's Flashlight as a kid. It's on Netflix, you can buy the DVD. I just watched the trailer for the doc and think I'll watch it right now...
