Imagine how strange this must have been for the Wolf, and yet look how totally comfortable he looks out there on his ONLY US TV appearance with these mop haired white kids in the audience staring at him and everything. The consummate performer. Sad that none of these guys ever got to Madison Square Garden or Shea Stadium. They Deserved it.
The grt Howlin Wolf thakes center stage as the Stones sit behind him in ore as he is backed by one of the worlds greatest guitarist James Burton even an honner for him to be playing with the grt man.
The day that white American kids were introduced to black american music; courtesy of the Rolling Stones. We didn't realize how good this music is until the Stones brought it to our attention.
This is fantastic that the Rolling Stones requested THE WOLF to be on their show! These are great things to know! I love THE WOLF and the THE STONES ! I wish the video was better but, I would have never have seen this footage if, it wasn't posted . THANKS!!
Screw Cadillac Records, that was the worst piece of crap movie ever to even try to depict the legendary Chess Records, which cannot be defined by the only 6-7 artists portrayed---Chess had well over a200 albums released before Etta cracked "I'd Rather Go Blind." The events were out of sequence and there were so many other great blues artists on Chess-Checker-Marterry-Argo-Cadet that were not mentioned. The bastard filmmakers could not even show original Chess-Checker 78 rpm releases!
@KojiRecords Talk to Beyonce Knowles - she commisioned the whole thing in her own image, made herself "executive" producer and made a TON of money from it. Not bad for an already super-rich pop singer.
@slideharp1 At least she was easier on the eyes than Etta James really was. :) I thought the Brit actor who played Howlin' Wolf in the movie was good.
@MultiKanut I didn't. I don't think he was very good at all - if you've ever seen the Wolf. If you haven't then I guess it wouldn't make any difference. I saw Etta James in '79 and she tore up the house. BK could never do that - she's All MTV.
Great performance you couldn't believe a word I say ...

jj10princess 2 years ago
This is the TV appearance that the Stones agreed to make ONLY if Howlin' Wolf would be the special guest.
He was their blues hero, and he never forgot the respect paid him, as they sat behind him as he performed.
Classy move from the Stones, definitely.

That's because he IS the bass player with Bo Diddley.
He is none other than Willie Dixon, songwriter and bassist extraordinaire.
