I wrote “You’re Everything” when I was sharing an apartment with Neville Potter in 1971. Neville had a day job, and I’d be working at night. So I’d write melodies and leave them for Neville on a cassette recorder. And I’d tell him “See if you could put some lyrics to this…” And he’d come back with a set of lyrics. We did that with a lot of tunes: with “Sometime Ago”, “500 Miles High” — other tunes of that era. It was a really good working relationship. We’ve remained friends through the years.

Good stuff 👍
Yes, sir. This is really tripping me out, because I watched The Fabulous Baker Boys (It's like Purple Rain to me) for the first time in like 20 years last night…
Thank you for the performance!
Chick is (for me…) the best complete and creative pianist of the world😎💜
Sou fã, és o número 1❤️👏👏👏👏👏
Wow
It was a turning point for Chick to move from the Steinway to Yamaha back in the late 80's or 90's? It fits his style. It's not as visceral, liquid and warm as Jarrett playing on a Steinway. At the same time it's incredibly crafted, everything in it's place, like a perfect puzzle. A profound musical intelligence.
Nice touch.
Legendary maestro.
… I'm an "ambassador" of Chicks music… every Saturday in my music room in Poschiavo, Switzerland runs pieces like Song to the Pharaons Kings… Mad Hatter…a vynil.. 1982 Munich, 2Pianos with Nicolas Economuo… I have seen live the concert at "Festival da Jazz, St. Moritz" with "The Vigils" great!.. and in the eighties first time with "The Chick Corea Electric Band"… in Riccione, Italy, International Jazz Convention… My mother Colette played Church Organ an classic piano,.. and I give her vynils of Chick to listening, she said.. that is a thing she's missing very much!…. yeah so.. thanks for the videos… very magic.!.. from Poschiavo, GR, Christian Hasler

Bravo🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼your playing is so inspiring, I can’t wait to go to the piano
Thank you
Chick, we will miss you at the Hollywood Bowl this summer. Thank you for so much great music you have given us. I have almost all your recordings. I must have listened to 'Friends' more than any other till, 'Three Quartets', which I've listened to hundreds of times and still counting. 'Three Quartets', is my number one 'desert island' record to take with me. I saw the original Three Quartets band perform the entire record live at the Hollywood Bowl, which was an epic event. I hope to see you with Vinnie play live in concert some day before I die.
One of my all time favorite songs!
Speechless……
Amazing music from the Master 🙌🙌🎵🎹
You're my everything is one of my fav pieces from light as a feather, wait who am i kidding, every piece from that album is great and they are all in my favourite list!
Lumineux. Comme toujours.
Merci Maître.
Thanks Chick!
I remember Neville Potter as the creator of the great poem in the jacket of "Where Have I Known You Before?".
I loved this version you performed with the Elektric Band and Gayle Moran Corea: https://youtu.be/z37KbDsPsBg
