I haven't heard this for 40 years. Just love it. Duck Dunn on bass I believe.

A true pioneer, and funny as he'll.

Absolutely on both counts. I didn't know just how funny he was till I saw a clip from the talk-radio show he used to do. it was from the excellent documentary "Only the Strong Survive", which unfortunately went a little under the radar as it was released in the same year as that other great soul documentary, "Standing in the Shadows of Motown".

Omar Hakim lending a hand too, there.

Yes.
Actually, that TV series co hosted by Sanborn had some great artists on it.
For the life of me, I can't understand how Jools Holland was co hosting it as well ?

Bumped into him in Centennial Park Nashville back in the eighties. Only this time he was wearing a paisley pattern powder blue matching shirt and bermuda shorts!
What a character & a real nice guy. And yes, funny as hell.
Beck then I suspect he spent as much time in Nashville as he did in Memphis.
And let us not forget Carla, is no slouch either.
