So happy for these recordings. They did this man dirty and you can see it in his song writing. One of the OG MVP’s of modern music. Fuggin Legend! RIP Lead Belly.
He’s actually scary in every way. Just an American treasure but I wouldn’t want to be in the same room. Absolutely unbelievable and really fantastic. If this isn’t blues roots, what is.
"I used it on somebody that'd bother You , boss" Or "I used on somebody then I brought it to you, boss" The old low quality audio makes it difficult to hear him properly, but I hear "I used it on somebody that'd bother you, boss "
There’s another video of him playing Goodnight Irene. So make this 3. Still really fucking depressing. How did an absolute legend like this get such little video footage of his existence
Not fake but it’s thought the audio recording of the last three songs was made the day before in the studio and then Lead Belly lip synched to these recording when they filmed him playing and singing the following day

Seeing him gives me goosebumps but also left with this sad feeling.
Love all of this I’m 74 and grew up listening to lead-belly woody Guthrie sonny Terry thanks 🙏 for sharing
I’m just happy that we have live footage of this legend.

I’ve been listening to Lead Belly since 1994 thanks to Kurt Cobain. Thank you Kurt and Lead Belly for a lifetime of incredible music.
Such deep sadness 😢
Leadbelly and Kurt are Jamming out in Music Heaven right now ❤
And they listenin to William Burroughs' spoken-word performances
Who ever sang their way out of prison twice? Nobody except this big bad man
Ledbetter was a music machine. Surprise we have some footage and pictures of him as in his time it was rarely hard to come by!
What did he say up to 2:26?
What a great contemporary witness of the blues. RIP great man!

Or

The old low quality audio makes it difficult to hear him properly, but I hear
"I used it on somebody that'd bother you, boss "
It's disturbing how people treated their fellow man.

LOVE Leadbelly! Genuis Musician!🥀🥀🥀
A genius the original og rapper
How wonderful.
Leadbelly was a legend and the true founder of rock and roll as we know it. However, I feel he was done dirty. He deserved more respect
Glad we have those
"Two known pieces of footage"
Shows multiple pieces of footage lol
I'm not mad hahaha
What a big bad man
A good man
Medicine Man 🎵🎶🎤

What a patronising sod! "Yes sir, boss!" Poor Leadbelly to have to talk like that, in order to crawl above the position society had shoved him into.
Fake
Which one do you think is fake?
You're fake

@@christophervaughan2637 Leadbelly done went Millie Manillie on dem crackers?!?!? Lawd lawd, say it isn’t so!
He wasn’t innocent of murder but I believe the men he did kill instigated it and he ended it. I wish him peace in the afterlife. I wish him well.
