Joseph Leslie "Joe" Sample (February 1, 1939 – September 12, 2014) was an American pianist, keyboard player, and composer. He was one of the founding members of the Jazz Crusaders, the band which became simply the Crusaders in 1971, and remained a part of the group until its final album in 1991 (not including the 2003 reunion album Rural Renewal).
Beginning in the 1970s, he enjoyed a successful solo career and guested on many recordings by other performers and groups, including Miles Davis, George Benson, Jimmy Witherspoon, B. B. King, Eric Clapton, Steely Dan, and the Supremes. Sample incorporated jazz, gospel, blues, Latin, and classical forms into his music.
On September 12, 2014, Sample died in Houston, Texas, of mesothelioma at age 75.
Sample was born in Houston, Texas on February 1, 1939. Sample began to play the piano at age 5. He was a student of the organist and pianist Curtis Mayo.
In high school in the 1950s, Sample teamed up with friends saxophonist Wilton Felder and drummer "Stix" Hooper to form a group called the Swingsters. While studying piano at Texas Southern University, Sample met and added trombonist Wayne Henderson and several other players to the Swingsters, which became the Modern Jazz Sextet and then the Jazz Crusaders, in emulation of one of the leading progressive jazz bands of the day, Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Sample never took a degree from the university; instead, in 1960, he and the Jazz Crusaders made the move from Houston to Los Angeles.
"Woke Up This Morning" is a song by English band Alabama 3 from their 1997 album Exile on Coldharbour Lane. The song is best known as the opening theme music for the popular HBO drama series The Sopranos which used the "Chosen One Mix" of the song.
Described as "a propulsive hip-hop song complete with Howlin' Wolf samples and a swelling gospel choir", the song has been cited as a paradigmatic example of a "great theme song", which "generates anticipation, immediately puts the viewer in a focused frame of mind, and creates the kind of sonic familiarity that breeds audience loyalty." Alabama 3 frontman Rob Spragg wrote the song after hearing about the 1996 murder case of Sara Thornton, who stabbed her husband after 2 years of abuse, mistreatment and neglect. The song is co-written with Piers Marsh, Simon Edwards and Jake Black.
"We started with a Howlin' Wolf loop, but a lot of blues lyrics are quite misogynist," Spragg observed. "So I turned it round to be about a woman who's had enough and gets a gun – it's quite ironic that it's become a New Jersey gangster anthem."
“Woke Up This Morning” is a freedom song made as a revamp of the old gospel song “I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus” in the 1960s. It is one of many similar songs during the civil rights movement. The song was created by Reverend Osby of Aurora Illinois in the Hinds County jail during the freedom rides.
Woke up this morning with my mind stayed on freedom
I said I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on freedom
Well I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on freedom
Hallelu, hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, hallelujah
It ain’t no harm in keep’n’ your mind
-Your mind stayed on freedom
Ain’t no harm in keep’n’ your mind
-Your mind stayed on freedom
-It ain't no harm in keeping your mind stayed on freedom
Hallelu, hallelu, hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah
Walking and talking with my mind
-My mind stayed on freedom
Singing and praying with my mind
-My mind stayed on freedom 2•
Hallelu, hallelu, halleu, hallelu, hallelujah
You’ve got to walk, walk
You’ve got to walk, walk
You’ve got to walk with your mind on freedom
You’ve got to talk, talk
You’ve got to talk, talk
You’ve got to talk with your mind on freedom
Oh, oh, oh you got to walk walk, talk talk
(Additional verses may be added when the song gets going, as was typical for freedom songs.)

The Crusaders were one of the pioneers of Jazz-Funk music in the seventies and have made a number of visits to Montreux over the years. This DVD focuses on their performance from 2003 when the band were touring in support of their album "Rural Renewal". Founder members Joe Sample and Wilton Felder were joined in the line-up by long standing friend Ray Parker Jr on guitar and by the inimitable Randy Crawford on vocals. They delivered a set that spanned their career from early days up to their latest album capped with a stunning nine minute plus performance of their classic "Street Life" and finished off with a fun rendition of Ray Parker Jr's "Ghostbusters". 2003 Montreux Sounds Montreux Sounds: https://www.montreuxsounds.com Mercury Studios: https://www.mercurystudios.co/distribution/ (...

I make it alone
When love is gone
Still you made your mark
Here in my heart
One day I'll fly away
Leave you love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me
When will love be through with me
I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin
My life again
One day I'll fly away
Leave you love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me
When will love be through with me
Why live life from dream to dream
Dread the day that dreaming ends
One day I'll fly away
Leave you love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me
When will love be through with me
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day that dreaming ends
