    Man I miss him. I remember old Beale street. The Daiquiri Works. Greasy pizza and the blues. Man, we don't know what we've lost. It's not what it was. Rum Boogie, Ruby Wilson.

    This right here is nine minutes and fifty nine seconds of some of the best blues ever put to video. A few million more views might do it some justice.

    I was in the Rum Boogie on Beale St. one night, knocking a few back while listening to Don McMinn and his house band. Don recognized someone walking in, and he stopped the song and handed his guitar to Little Jimmy and he flipped it over and proceeded to wear it out left handed. Literally, one of the most amazing shows I've ever saw. RIP, Little Jimmy King, thanks for blowing this guy's mind and giving me a memory I'll never forget.

      Nogueira - lopes Alexandre most people don't understand Albert and it seems to me he took some Elmore James lucks and turned it into a deep understandable musical language that he used to tell complete stories with. Albert King is a language and the stories are nothing but blues.

    The guy that came up with the term "Killin It" must have just watched this performance. When he walked out of the concert someone must have heard him say "Man, he was Killin It!" And that's how it started. Little Jimmy King was Killin It!

  • @user-oz5wv6wr2n

    We grew up together a couple of streets apart. We called them Manny and Danny Gales, he has a twin brother and Manny became Little Jimmy King. His older brother Eugene was around my age and he started the guitar tradition and Eric was youngest and didn’t see him much. We grew up in Memphis, the Pine Hill neighborhood. They lived on Rosewood street.

  • @johnhrock1009
    @johnhrock1009 5 років тому +10

    His guitar style reminds of Stevie Ray Vaughn, I hear some Albert King in there too. Little Jimmy King killing it. They should call him Big Jimmy King because there's nothing little about this guys playing. I see where Eric Gales gets his guitar prowess, looks like it runs in the family.

    I was lucky enough to be in Memphis back in '99 or '00 and went into BB King's to catch Coco Montoya and sitting at a nearby table was Manuel, Eugene and their wives. I approached them to say hello and that I was a fan and had "Left Hand Brand" in my collection. They were all so incredibly nice and asked me to sit with them and chat for a while. I have a napkin signed by "Little Jimmy King" that I keep in the LHB jewel box. Was shocked when he passed but am thankful for such a sweet memory. Thanks Gales family.

      This man was way ahead of his time. I accidently stumbled onto this video looking for some Albert King music and had never heard of Jimmy king. He straight blew my mind. I've never heard anyone come close to his style of playing although I do hear some Albert King in his style, which makes sense now that I know a little bit more about him. This eventually led me to Eric Gayles, who is also a blues beast. They really should make a movie about Jimmy King. You are the daughter of a Blues Master! Stay proud always. This video is legendary in my opinion. The purple suit, the red strat, and the jherri curl makes it all work:)

I always looked to people who played in old blues style but playing from the heart more than anything, Manuel Gales was definitely one of them ,my hats off to all the blues lovers and more so thanks so much for the posting of this gem of music that will forever give me what I need when I hear the blues.

    I don't think many understand just how talented this guy was. He had that undefinable 'magic trait' that only a lucky few are born with. He had the voice, the finger work, and the rare ability to express the emotion in every strum while live...
    Gives me the chills. SRV did the same

    thank you Eric for re - mastering this. this was @ the center for the arts in Lou. Ky. @ a series of visiting professional musicians special, called "the lonesome pine special. i had been in Memphis that winter & your brother & i had made friends from 1989 down there as i would come down at least 4 to 5 times in the winter months to jam ah little & make friends a lot.we made plans to hook up at this event, but you surely know how that goes. but your brother being how he was, found me, nough said till we meet. except it was a great & very humble thing on your brothers part! actually, i think you are the only brother i haven't got to meet UN - fortunately. anyway, i hope to meet you the next time i come to Memphis, as this concert has a great story of your brother & me during the concert in 93. Memphis, your brothers, Beale st. & a lot of other musicians there hold some of my greatest memories. Peace, and may God Be with you all, Kent Myers

But we never missed a gig..what great memories! love ya my friend Archie.

    • @fukhue8226
      @fukhue8226 Рік тому

      Archie. I play some of Emmanuel's songs. I'm still working on the solos. When your right handed with a standard guitar trying to copy someone that flips it upside down and backwards it changes the mechanics of what he did and I have to do to match his phrasing. This guy had it running through his veins. I don't get lost like Emmanuel when soloing but if I sometimes play something a little better than usual I can tell I did better because I don't remember what I did (that's when I get applause and complements). But if I think about it too much I get in the way of myself. Just let go and the Blues will do the rest.That's why Emmanuel was so good. It was in him and he didn't have a music college education getting in the way of some of the most emotional Electric Guitar Blues ever recorded. He just let go and let the Blues do the rest.

    This is one of the tracks from that show but I wish I could watch the whole thing. I can't find it.
    I didn't know that he passed and was very sad to hear that.
    I send my condolences to his family.

Parties of music mostly, with famous people. Man I miss those weekends. Sometimes one of the Jazzy Blues Performers didn't sing, they just played their music. Only my Kate Mom and Her late brother seemed to totally sing jazzy blues lyrics or bluesy jazz lyrics really well. Mmmm. Hmmmm nice💕
