@Oldspirit189 Yeah Buddy you're a musician allright. Of the organ. Up&Down all night long. Ask Santa for a dictionary before you put your ballet slipper back in your mouth.
@Oldspirit189 Rudeness is what got you where you are. You need to think about that more than you need to think about the junction of Blues and Soul Music.
This is just so sooooothing. One of the songs I always turn to when I'm feeling down. Soon as i hear that 'easy baby' and I'm half way there. The blues sure does hurt so good.
that 'Black Magic' Delmark LP is still up in the loft somewhere, but I never bothered to get it out after about 10 years ago. You just become a digest of the music. This was one of the better tracks on the album if memory serves. He never used picks and played with his fingers. Also not a bad singer.
@amiseyts1 I feel this need to correct myself so please read what I have written twice already. Bobby was young when he met Sam but he went to Chicago to meet him before he passed. Google Bobby. All I was trying to do is to turn younger Blues Lovers on to Bobby Radcliff who learned alot from Sam and I know that from Bobby himself. We have been friends since early 70s and I have yet to find anyone come close to Bobby Radcliff's style. Sam was his mentor so let Bobby carry on LIVE. My Best to you
how is bobby radcliff an old friend of Magic Sam's? He was probably in grade school, if that, in the mid 60's....not meaning to put the guy or you down, but I think you are stretchin....
@nystan1 "old friend" is stretching it for sure. I believe Bobby went to Chitown as a teenager and soaked up all he could from Sam as a disciple. Bobby has said Sam taught him the importance of getting the vocals right. Bobby is highly recommended whatever the accuracy of the story.
@Fatshead Sorry for the mistake in how I honored their friendship. It was my mistake as Bobby is a very good friend of mine since the early 70s. I found out the story through Bobby. Forget and forgive my mistake. My point is simply that I hear many Blues players and NOBODY can nail Sam like Bobby Radcliff. While that is not all Bobby can do we are very lucky to have him still playing and just gets better each time. Google Bobby Radcliff for the exacts.I will just listen to him.
@pattynVABeach didn't mean to be negative just accurate. I adore Bobby, I've seen him numerous times in NYC and enjoy all the vids here too. His vocals are dead on and guitar work phenomenal. They call him the NY chainsaw. No need for me to Google him.
@pattynVABeach more interested in the history of great blues artists like Magic Sam and Earl Hooker and the rest, than hearing about 'friends' and promoting them. I don't go along with the basic philosophy.Simple. Nuff said.
@nystan1 I am a personal friend of Bobby's and yes, while he was very young he did go to meet Sam. Maybe I threw everyone off when I used the term "OLD" when I should of said "New" friend. I meant they met and became friends a long time ago. @ Fatshead, again, the same I say to you. I noticed both of you jumped to the negative. I am not about trying to rewrite history. What I am about is how Bobby Radcliff can carry on Sam's style. How lucky for his fans.Google them for the info.
Probably bumped off by one of his rivals as he obviously would have been huge had he lived. His talent and appeal is absolutely stunning. One of the greatest bluesmen that ever lived. These recordings are treasures, thanks!
MAN.. you are TOtally right. I knew he was a hot guitar player.. But I think his singing is just inCREDible.. you can hear the influence of Otis Rush on him.Thanks for the post ...great stuff.
Blues, especially as presented by Magic Sam, bridges the race gap.

One of the best of the blues guitarists which we lost 40 years ago today on 1 Dec 1969. Magic Sam would have been a young 72 years old.
