Chris Farlowe: the story of Stormy Monday Blues

[oldbump]

Soul has no color. If you think it does, you're the worst kind of bigot.

Just discovered Chris Farlowe!!! Awesome!! Seems like he should have gotten even bigger in the music biz. Such an incredible voice!

[BulldogStGeorge]

Great voice. Chris never was known for his looks, but now he looks like Regis Philbin.

[RensStella]

Brilliant! Love the song, love the singer... thanks!

[theyoungharris]

Great vid! An interesting insight into one of the greatest English blues records committed to tape from the man himself. Thanks for posting this gem.

Litle Joe Cook is alive and well and living outside of Boston. I just called him and he remembers some confussion about this a few years back. I'm sure he would have loved to meet Chris Farlowe. "What a recording those 2 would make". He's now 86 and still performing a few times a week. "Real Nice Guy" who has been in the music bussiness sence the early 40's "He has some Great Stories"

Big Tim.

There is another story he tells that was in that tv blues documentary that someone came up to him and said you are not chris farlowe chris farlowe is black.

[jemf999]

That story is included here and starts at about 2:35

[Yonze43]

@jemf999 It was BB King - he told the story too. 

[gamoonbat]

Is that Albert Lee playing with him?

[jjmc60]

Sure looks like him, cheeky smile and the same runs (IMHO)... (but where's the Telecaster?)

[gamoonbat]

Gibsons are more suited to that old folk blues sound, aren't they?

[progjazzfusion]

Albert Lee is playing his Music Man signature model guitar, made to his specs just for him.

[jencomackey]

I'm embarrased to say I haven't heard him until recently. I feel like I've missed quite a lot and hope to fill that void. This cat can wail. Wow. He makes the rest sound like immatators. And not good ones either

Thanks so much for posting this. Great memories of early mornings at The Flamingo and punch-ups in The Scene, just off Gt Windmill St! Still got my original Sue vinyl.

[door2yourheart]

Little Joe Cook, lol! I had an LP in the late 60s "Here comes some soul from Otis Redding and Little Joe Curtis" Litle Joe was reputed to be, and certainly sounded like, Chris Farlowe!! I have just been trawling Google, and other than that album, i cant find any info on litle joe. Chris still has a great voice tho!

[reckonman]

[comboman]

[0xym0r0nized]
