When I was in school, I'd go see him whenever I could in Chicago at various blues clubs. Always mesmerizing. I once got up the courage during a break to introduce myself to him & tell him he was the greatest bluesman of all. He took my hand, kissed it and said, "thank you, little lady." I floated out of the club that night on a cloud of joy.
❤I met Memphis Slim , piano player with Willie , on the England 1963 tour , at rehearsals , my dad knew him , never met Willie Dixon sadly , this is great
I met his wife before she passed away at the blues fest here in chicago Mrs Marie Dixon was a very down to earth lady and a sweetheart I bought Willie Dixon’s book from her The book is called I am the blues
If you got a weak brain and a narrow mind The world gonna leave you way behind Your woman gonna quit you and, leave you cryin' You can't keep your woman 'cause you are watchin' mine If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad You gonna have more women than a train can hold You won't have to worry 'bout nothin' at all If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad The strong overpower the weak The smart overpower the strong And if you're gonna be my baby Only one way we can get along Cause if you got a strong brain and your mind is broad Ain't nothing in the world is gonna be too hard You'll be long gone when the others start If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad
If you got a weak brain and a narrow mind The world gonna leave you way behind Your friends will deceive you, leave you cryin' Can't keep yours 'cause you are watchin' mine If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad You gonna have more friends than a train can hold You won't have no trouble or worries at all If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad You know the strong overpower the weak And the smart overpower the strong The clever are the only ones enjoyin' the world While the greedy save all and enjoy none If you got a strong brain and your mind is smart Nothin' in the world is gonna be too hard We gonna keep on goin' before others start If you got a strong brain and your mind is smart
Chris Lawton Some of us have played blues for years have known this since Zep came out with album 2. But for a youngster like you: Just watch the videos on Zepplin plagiarism here on Tube. Plant and Page have no shame.

Just a special songwriter. The more I learn about this man, the more I'm amazed
Beautiful.
The one dislike must have a weak brain and a narrow mind.
his mother entered too :p
Even though often painfully difficult, what a rich tradition America has led thanks to men like him. ❤

Hey , my Mum & Dad toured with Memphis with Champion Jack Dupree around 70,71 in England.
🙏🙏🙏
What a great song, and what a great baritone voice.
This music speaks to the deepest depths of my soul.
God I just love this song

Willie are the legends we need to follow. they made the pattern. There ain't nothing like the Blues!
Willie Dixon and W.C. Handy are the two G.O.A.T.s of Blues songwriting. Hands down
Legend
I saw you in St. Paul Minnesota I know you’re dear but I love you
If you got a weak brain and a narrow mind
The world gonna leave you way behind
Your woman gonna quit you and, leave you cryin'
You can't keep your woman 'cause you are watchin' mine
If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad
You gonna have more women than a train can hold
You won't have to worry 'bout nothin' at all
If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad
The strong overpower the weak
The smart overpower the strong
And if you're gonna be my baby
Only one way we can get along
Cause if you got a strong brain and your mind is broad
Ain't nothing in the world is gonna be too hard
You'll be long gone when the others start
If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad
Wow. Words to live by always ❤
Even Better than remembered !!!~Rare Treat/Thanks

Damm... this is gold. I never seen this clip. Played this song for decades really cool to watch Willie picking it out. Too cool.

You can hear his influence on Leonard Cohen.

The late great
Somber and reflective on this, ribald on "Built for Comfort," scary on "I Got a Razor."
😊😊😊

If you got a weak brain and a narrow mind
The world gonna leave you way behind
Your friends will deceive you, leave you cryin'
Can't keep yours 'cause you are watchin' mine
If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad
You gonna have more friends than a train can hold
You won't have no trouble or worries at all
If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad
You know the strong overpower the weak
And the smart overpower the strong
The clever are the only ones enjoyin' the world
While the greedy save all and enjoy none
If you got a strong brain and your mind is smart
Nothin' in the world is gonna be too hard
We gonna keep on goin' before others start
If you got a strong brain and your mind is smart
Thank you for the lyrics xxx

Stolen isn’t the word. The blues cannot be owned to begin with. The blues owns you

Not stole Robert plant loved this guy I think more tribute to him ?
