On February 21, 1975, Herbie Hancock and The Headhunters brought pure funk energy to The Midnight Special with a blistering performance of their hit “Chameleon," and Herbie's "Watermelon Man." Hats off to Bert Sugarman who produced "The Midnight Special" and presented such great music for so many years, on network television.
Herbie commands the keyboards,
Paul Jackson lays down the deep, elastic bass lines,
Mike Clark drives the groove on drums,
Blackbyrd McKnight brings the funk on guitar,
Bill Summers adds his percussive magic, and
Bennie Maupin delivers soulful, razor-sharp reeds.
