If you want to see where SRV and even George Thorogood got some of their influence, check out Albert Collins. More great blues. I have never heard a guitar sing, like guitars sing when someone is playing the blues on them. SRV was a blues master. If you ever watched the movie Crossroads, there is no denying SRV is a bluesman. If you know what I mean. Thanks.
Yes, he had an unique voice and nobody could copy that. Same with Nina Simone. Nobody can sound like these two singers. There are many great singers like BB King, Little Richard or Elvis and other skilled singers can copy them. But nobody ever was successful doing that with Hooker & Nina Simone. I saw Hooker live in 1979 when I was a teenager. The first bluesman I ever saw live!
@people who gave thumbs down to my comment about SRV being a better (great) guitarist than singer: You should be able to respect this without feeling offended. Just listen for example to the original of TEXAS FLOOD by LARRY DAVIS & FENTON ROBINSON and you proably know what I am talking about. Problem is only few people know about them. Check out if you can their late 50's early 60's records. SRV would be proably the first to agree with me.
I agree, he's a much better guitarist than a singer but that's alright because his skill with the guitar was so great that everything else was simply secondary.
and there were so many unknown blues singers (from the 20's to the 60's) who were very good with original vocals (and much better than SRV :-) - not to mentione people like BB King, JL HOOKER, RAY CHARLES or Pop- and Soulsingers like Elvis, BEATLES, JAMES BROWN, M.JACKSON, O.REDDING etc. or lesser known artists.
Would have been great when he concentrated on guitar only. His vocals don't hurt & are ok but not much more.JIMI was a much better singer with an interesting voice&own style
vocal range is important for singing opera but not blues. If you consider his vocals that good you must be an over-enthausiastic fan of his but not interested in blues at all. I have to admid I can understand the frustration of many original bluesmen and -women of being overlooked while somebody like SRV is considered a god :-)
It is not SRV fault but the fault of all the "music journalists", media etc. Check out the older original (black) musicians (on my playlists) as well. Bye
@2009framat Stevie Ray Vaughan was, without a doubt, a guitar god.
He was an extremely technical player, a true master of the instrument. Sure, the older blues musicians get overlooked. But none of them had the mastery or the technical knowledge or ability that Stevie Ray Vaughan had.
If it hadn't been for Stevie Ray, there never would have been a Dimebag Darrell Abbott.
Get your petty fucking deaf ass outta here: we don't need you around.
Watch your language :-) Teenie bopper - SRV does not need boys who are childishly trying to "defend" him. He was a man but you are a immature boy who idolize him. Time to grow up for you
@2009framat Who the fuck are you to tell me to watch my language? "It isn't Stevie Ray's fault..."
No, but it WAS his talent, dickwad.
If you're going to bitch about Stevie Ray Vaughan or his fans, then stay the FUCK away from the goddamn Stevie Ray Vaughan videos. Common goddamn sense.
It honestly amazes me at the audacity of motherfuckers like you: you come here, KNOWING that you don't like the music/video/whatever and then you BITCH like a man with a cactus up his ass.
Gentlemen calm ! :)

Albert Collins I love, is real good. Confusion exists in the film Crossroads, the guitars were recorded by Ry Cooder and Steve Vai.

John Lee Hooker: "To me, hes one of the greatest blues singers there ever was. Im very sad because I wish he
were here. But his music will never die. Hes one of the greatest blues musicians that ever
picked up a guitar." Hooker
