      Well, the roots is the African music of the Africans brought to America from mid-16th to mid-19th century. They used to sing and play on the plantations, keeping their traditional African music alive. And in the early 20th century black musicians developed blues, rhythm and blues (R&B), jazz. But Muddy Waters were a great influence in music history.
      And they had class.

Willie Dixon, Big Mama Thornton, Koko Taylor, Junior Wells, Luther Allison, Sleepy John Estes, Little Milton and more. It was incredible. Muddy Waters ended the day with this song and had the crowd in such a frenzy, he did the song twice.

      It seems like when they are givin their best they have to look their best. Plus I have never seen a colored man or woman NOT dressed up 'tight' at one of many serious gatherings, such as church, holidays, births and death gatherings, unlike the 'white' gatherings of the same types it's not at all unusual for t-shirts, sweats- etc. to be worn and thought nothing of those doing so.

    One of my favorite things about Muddy is that he’s not just a great guitar player, but he has other fantastic musicians with him, and he really lets them shine. He played with some of the best harmonica players ever, Little Walter in Junior Wells being my favorites.

    This is where it all started...The Blues....I love the Stones and when I went wherever I could to see them play back in the 70s...They copied this sound as did many other UK bands and then they sold it back to the US....But like I say this is where it started, Muddy and his superb musicians killed it naturally cos it was always theirs from the start....Outstanding musicians and way ahead of anything the Stones or any follow up band could do ...and lets not forget that it was tough times back then if you were black so all credit to all of those guys and all of the others that followed and got up on the stage and just stunned the world ... amazing stuff... God Bless all of them...xxx

    • @MishaHendrix
      @MishaHendrix Рік тому +1

      We may be 46 years young , but we sure know the difference between the blues and rnr. Without the blues there'd be no rock n roll. I meant that this is the true spirit of rock n roll, and that to me transcends all barriers. If this is so important to you, then yes ofc this is Chess Records Chicago blues, along with Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley etc.@@johnknott6539

    This is the best blues performance I have ever seen. You can understand why the Stones admired him. The performers I can positively identify are:
    James Cotton (harmonica), Otis Spann (piano), and James "Pee Wee" Madison (guitar)
    That the camera only panned to Waters and Cotton is insulting to the amazing talents there. Because they didn't get closeups, I can list the members of the band in 1966, who might be performing:
    Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson (bass), and Francis Clay (drums)
