It was one of the greatest honors in my life to visit , play my harp and leave it at his grave among others. R.I.P. Sonny Boy

[PelayoVial]

[mora714]

Shit, this is real music....

[GinoSonnyBoyMarra]

the king

[theVonverde]

[Deanbass77]

No, he's says it right in the song. His teeth and tongue got in a fight.

[TheSaam1]

he puts his soul into words. it's beautiful

[alexpuku]

PLEEEEAZZZZ!!!

[dressagegal]

[warprodigis]

He's got his teeth knocked out by the sheer epicness of his playing

[45288]

[ironskull57]

[WhaleboyProductions1]

Love this :)

[hpolastrini]

This is the 2nd time I hear SBW...Man, he CAN play and sing...uhh-ha.

[TheSkcusasu]

No! Don't bring your pop music propaganda here. I don't care which artists you hate, Just smoke and get lost in the shuffle.

[1MAAD1]

Much soul power!!!

[gothictany73]

I can't stop listening to this song ....in love!! Sonny does it oh so well! Oh yeah!

[higorbeadyeye]

brutal real blues

[sdc888t2]

I'm buying Sonnyboy's special harmonica. That's an honor for me to have His name on my harmonica!

[pladuk68]

if I read too many youtube comments - i feel disgusted, and i can't sleep at night.

[taekonetko]

@pladuk68 2true mate 2true

[miguelcontrol]

beautiful!!! this song I need for relax and enjoy it

[scntlessapprntis]

Sonny Boy tells it how it is. Girls listen up and take notes your Justin Beavers and Lady GuGu's can't teach you this shit...

[superdarkmario2]

@scntlessapprntis ...

[m74074]

he was a lonely man...cause his teeth...lolololol...

but WAS A GREAT BLUESMAN!!!

[chichotaregay]

I wish nowadays music was played with real instruments like these musicians.

Great baby, this is what I call being musician

[lillan180]

esto si es música caray!

[Gardiroth]

it must be rather hard for him to use the harmonica(is that a harmonica?) when he is also singing. He could be out of breath rather quick.

[TommyTheNerdFighter]

@Gardiroth yeah that's a blues harp, harmonica, mouth organ.

[Tobytwirl1000]

Nice music. Thanks for posting.

[suckmytits1]

@hc0411 I'm 26, like the blues, and you are a serious chopper

[TommyTheNerdFighter]

24 people are dentists

[DPlusStudents]

Hey hc0411, if it matters, im 14, and that's how i live my life. Working my ass off, watching a black and white TV. The works. Why dont you shut the fuck up?

[rachelfishfry13]

[SUNNYRHOADES9]

Court Jesters Music was The Blues bahahahah..

[Smauce31]

[PyrateRyder]

MARVELOUS!!!

[10051993M]

Whisky, Cigar & Jazz'n'Blues.

[RealFunnyShiz]

ive never played the harmonica, i realy want to teach myself this sort of blues, could anyone give me suggestions on what harmonica to buy...

[MrBerbenson]

@RealFunnyShiz Standard Hohner Marine Band should do you great, that's what Sonny Boy uses here. I suggest starting in the key of C major. It's a great instrument to learn. It's not too difficult, and you can take it with you anywhere.

[definiteNZ]

@RealFunnyShiz Lee Oskar';s are very good quality and relatively inexpensive . The best 'cheapie' imo is the Hohner Blue Band

[pajerodemela]

UN MAESTRO CON LA ARMÓNICA

[andreaca1990]

qualsiasi cosa succeda.....suona del blues...e sarai libero!

[waltinhopai]

Sonny Boy,é fundamental...Fundamental!!!!E­ssencial,sim,é essencial!!!!!

[charcuterocbog]

[pat721128]

[TheJohn845]

This Performance is Legendary!



[alejandrosuckmy]

WE WEREN'T BORN IN THE GENERATION, I'm sure no one would listen to blues if we were born in Blues Era.

[Mike20041701]

i just found my new favorite musician! blues rocks!!

[waltinhopai]

Puro deleite "bluesistico"(?)

[Cointwo]

@waltinhopai sabes

[yungsu100]

IF IT WASNT FOR BOYS FROM EUROPE WE WOULD HAVE NO VIDEO FOOTAGE OF RICE MILLER AMERICA NEEDS TO FEEL ASHAMED FOR NEGLECTING THEIR OWN NATIONAL TREASURE.

[besamemucho5]

@yungsu100 not only we wouldn't have footage of something as beautiful as this music, we might not have the blues, and if it wasn't for the other Europeans like the french we might not have jazz either...b.b. king wasn't known until the English bands started coming to USA ....

[mustabrink]

working our butts off, and feeling the hard work on the skin, made us have compassion at the time. i think that´s why music was so good. today everything it to come to you fucking house. ipods, ipads, tv...the less you get out of the couch the better. how are you suppose to give life and music a meaning letting all this government and system takin over you??

[Lapelu9]

I AM A LONELY MAN AND I DON’T LIKE BEING BY MYSELF (2) IF YOU CAN’T BE WITH ME BABY I’M GONNA FIND MYSELF SOMEBODY ELSE I AM SO DISGUSTED I JUST CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT SO DISGUSTED BABY THAT I JUST CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT I GO TO EAT MY BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING AND MY TEETH AND TONGUE BEGIN TO FIGHT YOU DON’T HAVE TO TALK I WILL TALK FOR YOU YOU DON’T HAVE TO WALK THAT GOOD, Y’KNOW I’LL TAKE TIME AND WALK WITH YOU LET ME HOLD YOUR HAND

[Sprechdog]

I wish I was born around 1470 somewhere near the spot that Christopher Columbus stumbled upon America so I could inform him that you can't "discover" a land that is already inhabited by others... also "internet tough guys" are always laughable, but I think you took it to a new level by picking a fight with a 13 year old... classy

[7gtscapi]

ahahhahha without internet, practically you wouldn't listen to this music

[Diogenes1360]

Hell . . I'm 51 and when I was 9 years . . I wished I was born 20 or 30 years earlier too . . I can dig-it . .

[alejandrosuckmy]

I'm 13, and I don't give a shit if you are 13 or 14 too, I'm HAPPY that I was born this generation, 'cause I don't have to search far and wide for a record, I just look for it here and I can listen to it the times I want, also, blues makes me and every kid different from commercial listeners suckas', and that, THAT is cool...

[busbaker]

im 23 years old.. and frankly< i dnt give a fuck about your comments...

[roostersbyroland]

Im 17 and im happy living in the generation I live in today. People need to stop taking what they have been given for granted and be happy with what you have because somewhere in this world people are killing each other just to survive on a daily basis

[4relopez]

I'm 1000 years old, I was born in medieval times, and your precious blues can't hold a candle to the court jester's music we had back then!!!

[MegaTorontoRaptors]

@4relopez ahahahhaahahha

[aceshighsays]

love that hes multitasking... that's a real musician right there

[inthewind8181]

do any of you know what key he playing in?

[SuperWilyum]

@inthewind8181 Sounds like key of G played cross-harp on a C instrument.

[saavedra29]

@inthewind8181 It's in the key of G. He begins with a C harp and in the middle of the song uses also a low C. That's what i can figure out.

[hc0411]

And for the rest of you that would argue todays age is garbage... Would you rather live in the 60's and be shipped off to vietnam? Maybe you'd like to live in the 40's and try to live thru WW2. Maybe you'd preffer the 50's and have Korea going on, and the threat of a communist nuclear holocaust without warning. Dont forget opressive racism. Fear and terrorism is nothing new. Music is not a good reason to hate the year you were born. Its extremely stupid. I assure 2011 IS WAY better than 1955

[LykosLykos]

@hc0411 Even if, in Italy, history hasn't been so harsh on us as in America (no wars, racisms not so oppressive even if we had it problem too, but we had political unrest and mafia problems throughout the last 50 years), if I really think about living somewhere in the past I can't help admitting that you're right! Good music was one of the fierce feedback against rage, oppression, need. If it lacks now, maybe it's because the situation is somehow "better": don't know for how long it will, though

[hc0411]

@scooma1 the music isnt trash, sure some is, but then back 50 years ago there was trash music too. and the good stuff is still around yet too. if anything that makes this generation better. And I assure the food back then was not better. take the 30's for example. Ever had nothing to eat but a lard sandwich or nothing to eat at all? And freedom is a relative word. you think things where more free when everyone was scarred of the communists and the gov was rounding people up for questioning?

[hc0411]

I'm tired of all these "I'm X years old" comments. Guess what idiots you're born in the best generation yet, Everything is given to you. If you'd actually been born back in the 40's you'd probably not have a TV, if you did it'd be one and be black and white. You'd goto school then come home and work your butt off till dark. No video games, internet, fast food, modern medicine, and you'd damn sure probably not be exposed to this music. So STFU, stop crying, oh and you're stupid!!!

[chikletas5]

me thinks its good we can watch these videos

but for learn something we best get away

this has been a youtube comment

[southsaturndelta220]

@hc0411 are you kidding? life is better w.o TV and fast food, people back then had morals and respect, today's generation is by far the worse.. But I do dig the internet, for education purposes.

[MrESC831]

@hc0411 You get me! I totally agree. BTW im 9 years old. LOL joke.

[ravinggranny123]

@hc0411 Wow dude that's so fucking true i feel like shit now.

[herbigame]

@hc0411 You can't deny that it would be a pleasure to get awfully drunk when hearing this live

[86sith]

@hc0411 took the words out of my mouth!

[tomonmug]

@hc0411 Yep, And no youtube haha..... even if we dont like the actual music (my case) we still are in the best period because we can discover the music of every year, from every country and in every style. It would be impossible in the past.

whatever....Thank for your music Sonny.

[DocSicnarf]

@hc0411 blues comes from the soul, if you lived in those conditions the music would flow through you. You wouldn't need to be exposed to the music, you would be the music. so STFU, stop talking like you know what's going on, oh and you're stupid!!!

[hc0411]

@DocSicnarf wtf are you talking about? Your reply makes no sense given the context of what I said, or the topic in general. The last 2 words of my comment, and yours as it were, fits you to a T. As Nancy Reagan put it "Just say no to drugs"

[xTheGreenLightx]

@DocSicnarf completly agree with you :) 

[MetalAndRockGuru]

@hc0411 Modern day is the WORST as far MUSIC goes. So I will sit here and whine to you about that.

[FurryGir]

@hc0411

damn right,so all of you stupid kids stop with thouse dumb im 12 years old comments

nobody gives a shit about how old you are=\

[someftw]

@hc0411 Peace of spirit man, that we don't have today.

[l2udolph]

@hc0411 Good job. :)

[xTheGreenLightx]

@hc0411 fuck off you cunt, having everything handed to you isnt a good thing, thats why we cant fully understand what the blues is about, we never truely had it hard, we were born in a spoilt brat generation. And what people mean by wanting to be born in these times is to be able to listen live to awesome music. Now please fuck off go try to get top comment on another video

[hc0411]

@xTheGreenLightx Wow such hostility. I suggest you wash the sand out of your vagina. It's making you irritable. Have a nice day.... moron.

[xTheGreenLightx]

@hc0411 ... you know idiots like you shoudn't be allowed to watch these videos, yea i agree these kids keep writing these x years old comment thinking they're cool, but the point is to be able to really experience and understand the music of that time as well as seeing the bands live, is that too hard for you to understand?

[SleeperInTheShadow]

@hc0411 The 40's? Radio(Playing great music LIKE THIS). TV, true, B&W not a problem but very little to watch. Kids in the 40's went to school. When they came home they went out and played with their friends. No video games = True(But we were more social back then, we actually spent time together "IRL"). "Fast food" existed in the 40's. Also, they had a deadly amount of ice cream shops(Yummy). Medicine wasn't as advanced as today, but good enough for most med problems. WWII on the other hand...

[soultrader7380]

@hc0411 I could not agree more about being in the best generation, I LOVE having all this music to enjoy from the comfort of my home, it is one of life's great pleasures.

[skaterockerloc]

@hc0411 im 23 and i like the blues. thinking about starting to play harmonica. heard an individual play it while waiting at the train station yesterday and i was hooked on how good it sounds in person.

[3pigpen]

@skaterockerloc you should give it a go. you can teach yourself and it's a great way to express yourself good or bad. i've been playn for almost 20 years and it helps me everyday.

[nontalented]

his tongue won

[resptodd1]

Oh yeah Baby. Bring it on down.

[detroitthebaptist]

[DeanoPiano]

Must get a blues harp soon.. :(

[darrenjgraham]

sweet



[amrahc3232]

I wish people would stop saying "I was born in the wrong generation". Bullshit, this music still lives, and there is plenty of great new bands out there. It just requires actually looking for it.

[Guitarverb]

what key is this in?

[P1B1U1H1]

Did this guy sell his soul to the devil to create this stuff?

[freewheelinQ]

@P1B1U1H1 Don't you know there is no Devil, that's just God when He's drunk!

[kojocel]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the king of the harmonica, Mister Sonny Boy Williamson.

[MegaTorontoRaptors]

the BEST music ever..screw commercial music

[yordi193]

@MegaTorontoRaptors euhm... almost all music that has been recorded is commercial and it doesn't affect the quality, the music of today is full of performers (not musicians) who get payd for looking good and having some skills in dancing

[MegaTorontoRaptors]

@yordi193 that's true...

[karadjo1]

Now this is real music...yeeaahh....mmmmhhhmmm.­...

[snivlem1]

@PayoFyah key of G (Cross on a C). he switch to F at one point..

[surrealIdeal]

@snivlem1 low F? rather a low C. 

[ShiroKazuki1988]

He is the true Blues legend. Even I who played music doesn't know Blues, and how Blues really sounds like until I came to know Sonny Boy Williamson

[TROMBONEBADASS]

God damn, I'm 18 and this music gives me goosebumps! I love blues!

[windydoughnut1]

bob dylan coulda taken some lessons from sonny boy

[okishai1987shulsen]

[yungsu100]

ROBERT LOCKWOOD SAID THAT BIGFOOTED MOTHERFUCER COULD FUCKEN BLOW THAT MOTHERFUCKEN HARP LIKE NO OTHER FUCKS THEN OR NOW

[MegaTorontoRaptors]

@TheZacek thanks

[SaaraBande]

@MegaTorontoRaptors you are right, blues is the real music, its the root of all, sometimes you may look at other music, but you ever come back to it

[avaice]

@MegaTorontoRaptors keep listening to good music and spread it around.. i feel like im born in the wrong generation as well and im 28

[trowua009]

I just can say this men goes straight to you soul and not you ears and yes i am a lonely man

[r0ninKai]

[JesusLikesBreed]

I just fucking love the blues.

[lostintheblues]

i used to be lonely, but sonnys harp will always be my best friend.....i will never be lonely again

[StanleyJ99]

Does he switch to a low Bass Harp in C for the middle solo?

[gez1232123]

@StanleyJ99 i think he changes to a F harp

[hotrodnjarmo]

Thanks for the info! That makes a lot more since to me now that I have been playing around with it!

[hotrodnjarmo]

does anybody know what harp he is using? To me it sounds like an A? I would like to know. Thanks.

[STEFANOS604]

@hotrodnjarmo

It is for sure C played in Cross Harp (G).

After the words ''I don't like being by myself'' follows warble between the B and D (holes 3 and 4 draw) then a full step bend (F) on hole two released back to the G at the end.

[CelsoZanini]

[STEFANOS604]

I want to thank Mr StreetPlayerDude from Harmonicaclub/forum who worked and phrase out the lyrics .I beleive is the base for the harmonica begginers of Blues.The harmonica is C key played in Cross Harp(G) .

[mortaggi]

@STEFANOS604 ciao stefano, intanto grazie per aver condiviso il testo e grazie ovviamente anche a chi te lo ha scritto, volevo chiederti una cosa se posso...che significa che l'armonica è in C suonata in Cross Harp (G) ?

Io non ne so ancora niente di armoniche ma mi sto cominciando ad interessare, grazie e ciao.

[STEFANOS604]

[STEFANOS604]
