lol i just noticed that before i posted there were 1337 comments... anyway, how about you all stop arguing about who stole what from who or if at all and enjoy this fine mans music. demanding an apology from an entire culture, race, whatever wouldn't mean anything if it was granted because in all likelyhood it wouldn't be sincere. Just forgive and forget and let the music bring us together.
Im just glad to know africans from the jungle came out the bush knowing how to bake cornbread cook grits,, fry up some country breaded chicken and such...or them poor ol white folks would've died of starvation..lawd knows they didnt cook and eat before the black folk came,,,hahaha
hahaha....and u are african? and didn't know africa has jungles?... where did u think all of africa's primates lived? ya know all the Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Gorillas, Mandrills, Baboons, and all the other tropical birds and animals that africa is known for. on .00000001 percent of the country?.....u need to go educate yourself.. hahaha
@RippleEffectWanted You're really lack intelligence my friend...seriously. No one is saying Americans of European descent didn't cook before they stole Africans. But clearly, the vast majority of Southern foods were influenced by the way the African slaves prepared their food. For example frying meats and seafood is an African custom; also the way the food is seasoned. Don't play yourself and think that Africans were lost in the "jungle" before white people came along.
@RobbyMarshal hahaha u lack intelligence my friend...frying food is every ones custom..white...African , native American ect. ...and u saying southern food was influenced by africans but not the whites they cooked for?? Slave owners wouldn't have eaten food prepared as jungle food...slaves were taught to cook how the slave owners wanted them to.... Now..don't play yourself and think white people were lost before blacks came along...hahaha
@beejay42 Yeah, I only know about him because of that Cadillac Records movie but it got me really into people like Muddy Waters and Little Walter. They really did revolutionize the music industry. It's sad to see what music is like nowadays because back then it was so interesting and amazing.
FYI if blacks invented soul food blues music and such...why were they not doing it before they were brought to america.they didnt just jump off the boat knowing how to pick cotton and cook soul food play guitars and speak english,they were taught to do the work that whites wanted done,the food they wanted to eat,,the music they wanted to hear. to claim soul food or blues are black culture,,is like saying tap dancing a picking cotton are too..cause they were taught that too.
@RippleEffectWanted I beg to differ, for the most part, Africans did hop off the boat knowing how to cook "soul food", run, jump, pick cotton, sing, dance, and all the et ceteras. I could spend all day trying to educate you, but you should just take a look at the similarities between African-Americans, continental Africans and other members of the African diaspora. You will notice similarities in how food is prepared, in the music, and everything else.
@RobbyMarshal ,african music and food is nothing like southern blues and soul food..r u 4real? Blues and Soul food is a "Southern" thing not a black thing..
all this talk bout elvis stole this and that from blk folks he loved black music went2blk churches listen to them sing. what white person would do that? hewas good friends with jackie wilson n said he was the greatest singerand when jackie wilson had a stroke elvis in the 70s elvis paid his medical bills. little richard said elvis always loved and admired black music listen2little richard he would know he talked bout white people stealin his songs n he spoke well bout elvis says something
@runxz1 you know, only songs aren't culture.. :)) think about it.. maybe songs (good songs blues rock rock n roll) comes from black people but, white people had, have and will have bigger culture.. (in real life, i mean look around, physic, chemistry) i'm not ashamed to be white !!! but in conclusion i want to say that i love black people especially their music !! only blues... not rap :\
@MrTbeli No we stole that from other races too. We were the last race and only here for a thousand years or so. Everything we know, we got from Africans(they have been here for millions of years)and other cultures. Logically it doesn't make sense for us to think history started with us because it did not. It is also unintelligent to think history started with us.
@runxz1 Dude you really need to recheck your history... and your science. Whites were not the "last race", and Afros have not been around a million years lol. A million years ago we were ALL in Africa. Some humans left the continent and they branched out to become Euros, Asians, Polynesians, Austroloids etc. Today's Africans are those who stayed. Race itself is a social construct. Also, if by "whites" you mean Europeans, then your way off with us being around only a thousand years.
@elevatorisland man, just chill . We haven't been here long. Africans have been here for millions of years. I've read about it. Many skulls found in East Africa are millions of years old. Pretty amazing. We aren't even a true race because Africans are the only authentic race. Some Africans left Africa and some stayed. Many believe that the ones that left changed in appearance over time. How it happened is still debatable. I also read we are all genetically linked to a African woman.
@runxz1 u're right man but u're confused. u seem 2 think white people are a new race born of black ppl. u can't say "africans have been around but not whites" cuz those million year old skulls are OUR ancestors TOO. HUMANS have been around. y do u think we're all related to this "african woman"?? cuz she's a proto human. yes, people from africa left and changed over time. it's evolution. that's y we're actually 1 race, 1 species. sorry 4 being harsh b4 but I hope 4 ur sake u can understand this.
@elevatorisland no, man I am not confused. You are the one who has got it mixed up. I do believe we came from African albinos and we all have dna from an African woman.

@runxz1 yeah, history didn't start with us but we made it better.. okay we stole music but only blues n' rock n roll.. led zeppelin, AC/DC , deep purple.. is there anyone else better than them? no ! ... but we didn't steal physics right? chemistry? engineer? there are a lot of things that blacks did.. and love them cause they gave us real music, but look around what we white people are giving to whole nation.. (:
@MrTbeli Europeans did not create "medicine" or "technology". Mathematics, science, philosphy and architecture were all in existence for thousands upon thousands of years before the first white mutant was even born.
No other group of humanity has the urge to steal and claim all these things, as they see no need to prove themselves for what they have had and are. Racism is also a new concept, spread by the mutant whites to create false superiority and cover up their inferiority complex.
@takesun2 Everybody builds on the backs of what came before. We all started in the Great Rift Valley. But nobody stole; it just continues on sometimes by pillaging & raping and sometimes by cooperation.
@MrTbeli I don't think anyone remotely intelligent can tolerate today's rap music. But before you start thinking that Africans contributed nothing to science, I just want to enlighten you to the fact that Africans understood "the germ theory" long before Europeans "invented" it....And let's not get started on math, I'd be here all day.
@runxz1 People are equal and each race has benefited each other in some form, this comment is just absurd you KUNT HAHAHAHAH! you thought i was a calm and collected person didnt ya? fuck maturity
@runxz1 So you're part of a group called "whites" who have no culture? Speak for yourself asshole. Plenty of Europeans have stolen and done bad things. They dominated the planet so what do you expect. Human beings are greedy, and capable of great good or horrible bad. All races have proved this to be true. You ever heard of science? Philosophy? Socrates? Democracy? Just cause you come from a pasty empty white family with no culture don't try and act like that's every other European.
@elevatorisland and no dude, everything we learned has been from Africans from science to math to language. What a prick. I come from a decent family but I'm not going to make up shit and lies to make myself feel better at night.
I don't need to steal other peoples things and culture and claim it as mine to feel important.
@runxz1 pff. "we have no culture, we stole everything, at least I can admit it". You're not admitting shit you're just a self-loathing idiot who thinks pretending to hate white people makes you more hip and progressive. I've seen a lot of whites like that in America. It's fine to be apologetic for the crimes committed. but don't be blind. Nothing is so "black and white". excuse the pun
That said I fuckin love this song. that's actually why I came her. What a shame people are obsessed with race.
@runxz1 Not like we ever created grand masterpieces played by huge orchestras that still after hundreads of years reach the very core of human emotion or anything......
@runxz1 Whites in the US might not have culture. But whites in Europe (which is most of us) have culture, like any other country, like the Japanese, like the Vietnamese, like the Mozambicans like the Italians etc. etc.
@pinglauwa After all the above nonsense, i almost cried after reading this, there are still people with a brain on the internet! Thumbs up for Mozambico XD
you should paint yourself black or yellow and wait for white people to steal you...you're just admitting, that you don't know anything about music or cultures.
@runxz1 "Everything we have is stolen from blacks or another race." Yeah your right, except for the wheel, literacy, maths, science, music, roads, farming, schooling and a whole lot of other stuff. Haha. I agree every bit of MODERN music and MODERN culture comes from African-AMERICANS, but you shouldn't make such bold statements. Everything we have is stolen from Mesopotamians (white people with a slightly darker skin tone), look it up.
@VotumPhotographer Oh god stop being so american... Europe had a thousand of different kind of cultures through his whole history. American ppl needs to understand they aren't the only one with a culture in this world
elvis sucks now...the true musicians couldnt get on t.v and perform because of their skin. without these artists, elvis wouldnt be anything...damn honkies...
we can't reject Elvis' talent just because there were other artists before him....for god shake!the point is to appreciate everyone's contribution to the music and not trying to find out who is first and who is last......that is my opinion!
Elvis borrowed from everywhere. Oh, Sole Mio became "Its Now or Never". Compare the 2 melodies, they're the same. There's another tune he stole from either folk or bluegrass tradition, I don't remember the name of that song.
They say good artists borrow, great artists steal. I was never a big Elvis fan. I just want it known that the guy stole from wherever he could--or at least those who wrote his music borrowed liberally from everyone.
@xciteful Elvis was an amazing artist. One of the best singers ever. I loved all of his early music and most of the later commercial stuff. But Elvis never wrote a note of music. He opened up the R&R era for other singers but he didn't create the music that got him on the road to being a legend. He presented it in a package that was acceptable to audiences of that era. He did open up the market for Black music. We all owe him for that. Elvis owes Walter. We owe BOTH of them.
Jesus, everything came from SOMEWHERE ELSE. Unless Little Walter was around at the dawn of time inventing musical instruments, he got his inspiration FROM SOMEBODY ELSE. So who cares if Elvis did, also? And every other artist that exists steals from what's came before.
@shelovesthewayyoulie Yes, but I think the fact that elvis didnt actually invent rock n roll/anything really whereas all the black guys at the time were doing new progressive stuff. Elvis only became famous because a record producer figured if he could get a white guy to sing black music it would be marketable to the poeple who had all the money at the time. So elvis was a posterboy - yet he gets the name of King an d all the other credit
@ArcaneFaith I'm going to have to take a guess here (seeing as I wasn't alive through Elvis' reign) that any title bestowed on him was well earned. It doesn't matter if Elvis didn't invent the style of music because what he did, he did WELL. A lot of black artists at the time who were known didn't write their own music either but they EMBODIED the songs and that was the greater accomplishment. Which is exactly what Elvis did.
all this talk about one guy creating this genre is bull. It is true however that due to the segregation at those times elvis became popular with what was essensialy stolen music. he couldn't do it justice though, this song is sweet!
Rock'nroll is but a minor deviation in the greater story of black music. Or rather Western popular music has been borrowing from black music in one form or another for over 100 years now. From Al Jolson to Eminem - for better or worse!.
@RaeeFaSho Sure he had a good voice, but that was NOTHING compared to his pioneering efforts as a blower of the blues harp! He was one of the first ever to play into a mic and amplify it so he didn't get drowned out by everyone else in the band. Then he was THE very first to get effects and distortion into it. Sad he died so young - 38 years old. Like Lennon, dead at forty 31 years ago today, it makes me weep to think of the music left uncreated by their departure...
No, music, no dance, no funk, no pizazz without the Africans roots of Black people. It's all versions of true inner Soul! God's got to give it! It CANNOT be imitated!
the 'Elvis stole from blacks'' bullshit story is wearing thin at this stage...The simple truth of the matter is, Elvis loved black artists and grew up surrounded in black music, he lived and died in memphis for christs sakes...and he does a fine version of this song live from 1969 credit were credit is due, he stole nothing just carried things on to another level
@008maguire if he didnt pay for it then he fuckin stole it, the only thing wearing thin is the lies from people that still want to claim that he was in love with black people. promotion carried him to another level as the foot of the nations racism of the day on the neck of recording artist of those days kept those artist on the level they were at. As per american usual when most are dead and cant enjoy it it been so called re-discovered. ....thanks. but it never left.
@DONNIMETROPOLIS313 ...........Well your clearly a person that know's Nothing about the subject and know's Nothing about Elvis presley ...where talking music here
HE & SAM FUCKIN STOLE IT. Were the originators of his black music covers paid properly? I know all about elvis, the Rollin Stones that tell you in a heartbeat who their influences which led to fame were. They saw to it that the blacks they re-recorded songs from got paid. Presley who observed, studied black music &dance which is fine, a compliment & to be expected even today, did he pay them like men?. And trust me im a true Elvis fan, but a honest one. Study rock n roll music history
@DONNIMETROPOLIS313 ....Name one black singer that was moved on stage to music like Elvis...before Elvis??????......................ehh None is your answer..
@008maguire that dance was completely lifted and inspired by black performers. why do you think they gave him such a hard time in the beginning? Its a another flattering compliment to the unsung things that black culture added to the american landscape. The way he worked his guitar on his hip is completely stolen from Bo Diddly. the black dance the hully gully (not the stolen white version of same name that popped up in early 60s), is in his unseen before movements as well
@008maguire Earl snake hips Tucker , you have no clue about true american culture because its onesided and its not your fault. im not mad at you, you are just wrong. just like elvis didnt invent rock and roll. he was a talented and gifted performer and a great commercial success. a superstar. But he didnt invent shit.
@008maguire "Name one black singer that was moved on stage to music like Elvis...before Elvis??????" First of all Elvis danced as if his hips were broken and was doing bad imitations of the dances he copped from Black dancers on Beale St.
Cab Calloway, Wynonie Harris, Muddy Waters and others actually did the dances much better, with rhythm long before Elvis. He also "borrowed" heavily from Jackie Wilson.
little walter originally wrote and preformed this song. and personally for me this one bombs on the elvis version. shits got SOUL. and im white this isnt one of those kiscks its just the truth
Ahhh - this reminds me of my mom (RIP - mama) - Friday evening fish fries (every Friday) - house filled with her friends - this song was among the many they played.
Black started this terrific music. Young white boys just took it to another level and they were totally respectful of their influences and all the old blues masters.
The other thing is an article in Jet Magazine had a quote from EP said "A black man is only fit to shine my shoes". WAS BULLSHIT. He was not in that city at that time and was proven a lie. Elvis grew up around black people and was not a racist. If he was, explain friendships of BB King, James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Muhammed Ali. Explain his songs IF I CAN DREAM and IN THE GHETTO. Why would he have The Sweet Inspirations, all black women in his band 10yrs? They ALL LOVED HIM. This is stupid.
This whole EP stole from blacks is ridiculous. A musician/singer steals everything he hears and makes it his own. Yes EP cut a lot of black's songs but compare original to him they are always drastically different. Do some research and you must listen to original version then listen to original Elvis version. Songs: That's All Right, Baby let's Play House, Mystery Train. Elvis had a country side and he was marketed as a country artist then. Side A was R&B, side B was usually country.
Elvis was not the first white to record MY BABE. Ricky Nelson did it in 1957 with teenager James Burton on guitar. Elvis returned to the stage in 1969 and had Burton in his band. The fact that Ricky's record had James on it and that Elvis I'm sure grew up listening to Little Walter's version probably caused him to do it ON STAGE. He never made a record of it, just a concert and it's an album cut. Plus it is different than Walter's. He NEVER did it on TV. Completely made up to play race card.
Here is the deal. Little Walter was no doubt a badass. My Babe is a GREAT record. The only thing the movie Cadillac Records got right was the music. The timeline is all screwed and they are leaving out important facts and people. Where the hell is Bo Diddley?? Where is Leonard Chess's brother? They make it seem as though Elvis came after Chuck Berry. Elvis first record 1954 1yr before Chuck. Listen to original THAT'S ALL RIGHT by Arthur Crudup then listen to Elvis, EP is country style.
You forgot something important.. It's the white guys like Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis who got the black guys (Out of appreciation and their love for music), on tv and radio...
I have often wondered just where the music biz would have ended up without the influence of Elvis.
And how high would Buddy Holly have climbed?
And what if the Beatles had stayed in Liverpool and gotten jobs on the docks?
What about Motown?
What would have happened if transistor radios hadn't come out at about the same time the Baby Boomers were getting hungry for something besides Perry Como?
A lot of "What ifs"
History is not carved in stone until after it happens.
@hammerogod Good summation, dude. Elvis had a great voice and was hugely over-endowed with charisma, no doubt about it. He was also lucky enough to have been very cannily and cleverly managed. But musically speaking, my band have written better songs than Elvis ever did. C omparing him to the likes of Little Walter (the Les Paul of the blues harp), or Willie Dixon, it's apples and oranges.
@MrForeyblue Nice one - wish I'd been there. I used to go to the Ricky Tic in Windsor. Saw John Mayall with Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor. I saw John Lee Hooker in High Wycombe with the Groundhogs. Good times.
How can any of you compare Elvis to Marion Jacobs? Elvis is the King of Rock and Roll, while Marion Jacobs aka Little Walter is the King of Chicago Blues. They are from two very different genres. Elvis is a singer and guitarist, while Little Walter is a singer, guitarist and harmonica genius.
Truth is ya'll , all the white artist of the 50's and 60's stole their music from black artist , due to the lack of ineffective copyright laws . Plus many black artist did not own the rights to their music . Now if those same artist owned their music masters , many artist such as Elvis Pressley , Pat Boone and the Beach Boys would not exist . now there is . NO NEED FOR THE CUSSIN THO . WE KNOW WHAT THE TRUTH IS .
Okay.. i just listened to the elvis presley version for the 1st time.. it kinda sucks.. just my opinion. Well, it sucks compared to this version anyway :)
Elvis was okay, but he didn't make it popular, it made him popular. I don't think the world would be all that different if he had never existed. I do think the world would have been a better place if artists like Little Walter were given their due in their day.
@travelerx I whole heartedly agree that Little Walter is a fantastic artist and am not a huge one for Elvis but I don't think people can discredit the huge contributions of Elvis's popularity to our culture. He played a huge role in bridging the racial gap in the 50s/60s. While not intentional, it's still a big step forward and I don't think American culture would be the same at all without him. Musically, I'm not big on Elvis but his role in American culture isn't something to be dismissed.
I'm 14 years old and i even know Elvis Presley stole music from #Chuck Berry, Lil Walter, Big Mama Thorn etc. And i just don't understand why he get all the credit but the originals who were african american s don't get the credit. Come on now..., ya'll know it ain't right. If it wasn't for those songs he covered elvis presley wouldn't be nothing because those were the major hits. That's why when i become a famous singer ima make sure everybody know the originals. # Elvis Presley Whoooo???

@MrTbeli Europeans did not create "medicine" or "technology". Mathematics, science, philosphy and architecture were all in existence for thousands upon thousands of years before the first white mutant was even born.
No other group of humanity has the urge to steal and claim all these things, as they see no need to prove themselves for what they have had and are. Racism is also a new concept, spread by the mutant whites to create false superiority and cover up their inferiority complex.

They say good artists borrow, great artists steal. I was never a big Elvis fan. I just want it known that the guy stole from wherever he could--or at least those who wrote his music borrowed liberally from everyone.

shelovesthewayyoulie 1 month ago 3
@shelovesthewayyoulie Yes, but I think the fact that elvis didnt actually invent rock n roll/anything really whereas all the black guys at the time were doing new progressive stuff. Elvis only became famous because a record producer figured if he could get a white guy to sing black music it would be marketable to the poeple who had all the money at the time. So elvis was a posterboy - yet he gets the name of King an d all the other credit

@ArcaneFaith I'm going to have to take a guess here (seeing as I wasn't alive through Elvis' reign) that any title bestowed on him was well earned. It doesn't matter if Elvis didn't invent the style of music because what he did, he did WELL. A lot of black artists at the time who were known didn't write their own music either but they EMBODIED the songs and that was the greater accomplishment. Which is exactly what Elvis did.

@RaeeFaSho Sure he had a good voice, but that was NOTHING compared to his pioneering efforts as a blower of the blues harp! He was one of the first ever to play into a mic and amplify it so he didn't get drowned out by everyone else in the band. Then he was THE very first to get effects and distortion into it. Sad he died so young - 38 years old. Like Lennon, dead at forty 31 years ago today, it makes me weep to think of the music left uncreated by their departure...

Cab Calloway, Wynonie Harris, Muddy Waters and others actually did the dances much better, with rhythm long before Elvis. He also "borrowed" heavily from Jackie Wilson.

The other thing is an article in Jet Magazine had a quote from EP said "A black man is only fit to shine my shoes". WAS BULLSHIT. He was not in that city at that time and was proven a lie. Elvis grew up around black people and was not a racist. If he was, explain friendships of BB King, James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Muhammed Ali. Explain his songs IF I CAN DREAM and IN THE GHETTO. Why would he have The Sweet Inspirations, all black women in his band 10yrs? They ALL LOVED HIM. This is stupid.

This whole EP stole from blacks is ridiculous. A musician/singer steals everything he hears and makes it his own. Yes EP cut a lot of black's songs but compare original to him they are always drastically different. Do some research and you must listen to original version then listen to original Elvis version. Songs: That's All Right, Baby let's Play House, Mystery Train. Elvis had a country side and he was marketed as a country artist then. Side A was R&B, side B was usually country.

Elvis was not the first white to record MY BABE. Ricky Nelson did it in 1957 with teenager James Burton on guitar. Elvis returned to the stage in 1969 and had Burton in his band. The fact that Ricky's record had James on it and that Elvis I'm sure grew up listening to Little Walter's version probably caused him to do it ON STAGE. He never made a record of it, just a concert and it's an album cut. Plus it is different than Walter's. He NEVER did it on TV. Completely made up to play race card.

Here is the deal. Little Walter was no doubt a badass. My Babe is a GREAT record. The only thing the movie Cadillac Records got right was the music. The timeline is all screwed and they are leaving out important facts and people. Where the hell is Bo Diddley?? Where is Leonard Chess's brother? They make it seem as though Elvis came after Chuck Berry. Elvis first record 1954 1yr before Chuck. Listen to original THAT'S ALL RIGHT by Arthur Crudup then listen to Elvis, EP is country style.

Little Walter almost single-handedly created a genre.
Little Walter pulled together and preserved several traditional musical styles and made them glow and burn.
Elvis only put it on the Ed Sullivan show.

He played a huge role in bridging the racial gap in the 50s/60s. While not intentional, it's still a big step forward and I don't think American culture would be the same at all without him. Musically, I'm not big on Elvis but his role in American culture isn't something to be dismissed.
