BADD ASS LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS

These type of Black men are long gone. We heard their names when we were growing up and when we got older we checked them out.
Then we discovered all these Black Blues men were Badd Ass.
You learned a lot from listening too them.

Shalawam / Asalam Alaikum My beautiful ppl I just want to let yall know that this Bad Ass Man here is my Great Uncle Samuel by marriage He was married to my Great Aunt Ms Elamer Lacey they had several children but the only one I meet is their daughter named Bertha Lee Hopkins in The Houston / Centerville/ Crockett area. I never got the chance to meet him but my Grandaddy use to tell me stories about when My Great Grandmother Ms Nannie Middleton use to have parties he would hold him on his knee while playing the guitar and call the sets. Thx Brotha Omar for posting this it really picked me up

That's great to hear Charlie, he was awesome! I used to see Blackmen who looked like him when I was a kid here
in NY walking and talking on the street, I could see the wisdom in their faces, though I was only a kid, I could
still recognize. Now it's all explained in his great music! Black people are some powerful people. He captured
Black history our people's moods and ways. I know you are proud.

When we were young here in the Northern cites we would occasionally run into these
type of Southern Blackmen on the streets and they always said some very wise things
to you, many times what they said were to deep for you to understand, but somehow
later on you'd catch it. What a helluva musician.

Thank you omar 😊 I grew up on music like this this is the only kind of great music my dad played would you please do one with bobby bland and lightnin Hopkins and howlin wolf would love this selection

[@omarshabazz9610]

Margaret, I hear you loud and clear. I tried to put up Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker only yesterday and UA-cam wouldn't allow it. And speaking of Bobby Bland! He was the man when we were coming up when he had hit after hit on that orange colored DUKE Lapel. I learned a lot about male and female relationships simply listening to his music, in fact we both were/are Aquarians. I'll soon try to get my favorites of him
up very soon. I have dozens of his old albums and compact disc. I really dug him with his big band. Be on stand-by Margaret, apparently you have great taste in good music.

[@omarshabazz9610]

Yes P. Whales, these type of original Black men were the real deal, they all had lines of wisdom etched into their faces, when they spoke they all had something important to say from years of absorbing the pain and joy of the Black Experience here in America.
