Wyclef Jean & Rachel Brown ‘Redemption Song’ – LIVE @ The Darby, NYC
Wyclef Jean “crashes” Rachel Brown’s Show!
Rachel Brown’s May 9th, 2012 show @ The Darby, NYC was nothing short of an “eventful” evening! Everyone got a huge surprise (Rachel & her band included) when Wyclef Jean joined them on stage during the last two sets. The night was full of surprises as the out-of-this-world Elew would later jump up and join in on the piano too!
The event got a nice write-up in the New York Post!
Rachel Brown Connections
This Wyclef Jean – Rachel Brown duet was a small part of history relived.
Wyclef’s rise to stardom was with the Fugees a Haitian-American hip-hop group that formed in the mid-1990s. They gained attention for their cover versions of old favorites, with the group’s reinterpretations of “No Woman No Cry” and “Killing Me Softly with His Song” becoming massive hits. The aforementioned songs were part of The Score (1996), which became one of the biggest hits of 1996 and one of the best-selling hip-hop albums of all time. The Score went multi-platinum and had Grammy-winning success. The group disbanded in 1997. In 2007, MTV ranked them the 9th greatest Hip-hop group of all time.
The other two members of the trio were the amazing Lauryn Hill, and rapper Pras Michel. “Fugees” derives from the term refugee.

UZIMON sings New York City by John Lennon.
Legendary C-Notes on Guitar. Video by Jon Legere.
John Lennon gave the world so many gifts in the form of music and art, he was a warrior for peace and justice, and I heard he once smoked a spliff at Buckingham Palace. UZIMON couldn’t ask for a bigger hero.
Standing on the corner Just me and yoko ono We was waiting for jerry to land Up come a man with a guitar in his hand Singing, have a marijuana if you can His name was david peel And we found that he was real He sang, the pope smokes dope every day Up come a policeman shoved us up the street Singing, power to the people today!
New york city…new york city…new york city Que pasa, new york? Que pasa, new york?
Well down to maxs kansas city Got down the nitty gritty With the elephants memory band Laid something down As the news spread around About the plastic ono elephants memory band! And we played some funky boogie And laid some tutti frutti Singing, long tall sallys a man. Up come a preacherman trying to be a teacher Singing, gods a red herring in drag!
New york city…new york city…new york city Que pasa, new york? Que pasa, new york?
Well we did the staten island ferry Making movies for the telly Played the fillmore and apollo for freedom Tried to shake our image Just a cycling through the village But found that we had left it back in london Well nobody came to bug us Hustle us or shove us So we decided to make it our home If the man wants to shove us out We gonna jump and shout The statue of liberty said, come!
New york city…new york city…new york city Que pasa, new york? Que pasa, new york?
