[ednoisin]

Praise THE MOST HIGH YHWH for revealing HIS AWESOME ESSENCE through such talent. This is too Awesome ... crying out from the Land of captivity. Blessings & Shalom,

[lilmssfit]

[007clooneen]

Pure poetry - if there's a heaven this is the music the angels will play.

[wickirsinn]

Awesome...

[henryv8]

Happy Birthday Sonny.



[Bstannard]

That's the real shit right there.

[busessuck1]

Great playing

Does anyone know where I can find the complete footage from this... drama... production?

....Is it part of that "American Folk Blues Festival" series?

[SkeligMichael]

I´ve seen them Live and they were just fantastic!

[BarerMender]

It's a shame they stuck the dancers in front of him. Half the fun of Sonny Terry is watching what he does with his hands when he plays.

[soueuangelaum]

Amazing!

[MsAnna0]

I used to dance to this song with my sister when I was a child :-) It was our favorite...

[Kotuzow21]

Because of stamping to the rhythm my legs hurts

[kenkneeb]

[19legionista16]

Niggers feel the blues!

[PHJimY]

@19legionista16 I wish people would think before they hit send. This is ignorant.

[welk2703]

another version of this song was deleted by youtube recently only private download will save it do it now

[huicho99]

I'm Mexican too and I will always say it. The best musicians in the world are our black musicians. Mexico, Columbia and Cuba are countries very, very rich in musical talent, but the best in all three has black roots.

[TzzX78]

No doubt about it music transends ethinc barriers I am Mexican and I love these music is so rich in culture...Black people makes the world go round.

[casu3]

sonny got the most hard to imitate harp style

[caskeez]

What a great video! where did it come from?

[lobizoon1]

´From the American Folk Festivals made in Europe during the 60's. I think this particular show was made in Germany.

[kenkneeb]

[gunnydogs]

Anyone know what harp he is using for this? Key?

[PHJimY]

@gunnydogs Sonny used Marine Bands at this time.  He was using an A to play in the key of E. Sonny played with the harps upside down (the high notes on the left)

[jycochondeterre]

Super !!

[GonzoJournalist84]

sonny terry is the GOD of all harp players (chromatics excluded)

[MrBiejos]

@edavisdavis it an't how hard you play it's about grabbing the blues and makin it your own, put your soul into it and let it pour out cause you will never play like another but you can play like your great self

[edavisdavis]

@MrBiejos True that bro,people love my playing but deep down Sonny Terry will always be the harp player I could,ve been

[drainspout]

I Love the train rhythm! on the cd i have its called Sonny's Thing" but i like "HOOTIN' BLUES" better

[creole58]

I can't explain it but when I hear Sonny and Brownie play I feel good about life...how's that for the blues.

[JSarmbru]

Oh yeah, that's right.

[TzzX78]

@creole58 I hear you I also feel so happy when I hear like this one so rich in content and delivery.

[Rosseh1]

@creole58 Cause blues is about letting your hurt fly outta your body into music and relieve your soul from it's burden baby.

[deKadt15]

@creole58 As Howlin Wolf once stated.. the Blues is feeling good about feeling bad!
