Freddie King Ain't nobody's Business

[iaskedforwater24]

@kanolemaster actually, Freddie King is behind the guitar and the microphone

[tet1703]

Maestro! Capo , hermoso! sí este hombre permanece para siempre en la historia del mundo! tal es el tamaño de su arte y sentir!

[kanolemaster]

heart and soul healed :)

[Videodude1939]

Great! What else can I say.

[Chrigi4223]

@Videodude1939 AWESOME!!! ;)

[kalken000]

Fantastic !

[gondi4707]

Got to see him play at his daughter High School in around 1971. Made me a patriot of the Blues King from that day on!

[gupper83]

Wow, thanks for sharing, he was Amazing. RIP Freddie

[chrisdgoldie]

Ha ha ha, four dislikes, how rediculous!!!

[loneranger3169]

WOW!



[DirtyDeck]

This reminds me of Streetwood Mac,

great soul and nice bassdrumming, long livePatrick Green

[guitzillatar]

it's like going to church



[clarkewi]

That's the real stuff right there. Pure America.

[phototroon]

There is always some dickheads who dislike greatness. I wish they would get some taste in there lives, before they go up to meet the man in person.

[ShellLee81]

Oh LAWD yesssssssssssss! :D

[someguy3600]

there are 4 trolls in this room.......BANG........BANG...­.........BANG BANG......dont worry, they wont bother us anymore :P

[franz909]

Blues Fans don't worry about "pick ups" ..reversing the phase" because it's all about the FEELING and FREDDY KING owes NOBODY , ANYTHING ! He was one of the greatest Blues man EVER !

[LisaVeeMusic]

Oh bro..... givin' me the chills! every single note........the chills!

[FlipsidesBand]

Almost 300 comments and not one of you noticed that he's doing what Peter Green did - reversed the phase of one pick up and then plays with both pick ups selected. Freddie King is great but you have to acknowledge that he's hugely indebted to B.B.

[tataso]

Este grodito era un puto geniio !!

[cdevers100]

there is no blues guitarist dead or alive that has this level of intesity, and Im just talking about his voice, same can be said of his guitar playing. Devastating....

[Harleydom55]

All dem bluez man....it just gotta come out! God bless Freddie King!!

[tolanwann]

How many great and unique versions of this song is there?

[splaskon2]

if you don't dig this call 911, cause you don't have a pulse.

[semitar6]

Never remove this video....amazing...

[fraterlucifer888]

FREDDIE FUCKING KING!!,HE RULES IT,OWNS IT,BAGS IT TAGS IT AND GIVES IT CABFAIR HOME,JUST LISTEN TO THAT VOICE ,HIS GUITAR RIPS YOU APART AND HIS VOICE COMES IN LIKE COOL WATER OVER THE WOUNDS,THEY NEED A HELL YEAH BUTTON

[Gordfather74]

[elesgabor]

It's not business, it's music . . . very deep.

[cdevers100]

THE BADDEST BLUES EVER......

[TracyFClark]

dear god....YESSSS!!!!!!!

[yungsu100]

THIS MAN TOLD ALL SOUND CATS TURN ALL OTHER MOTHERFUCKERS DOWN

JUST TURN MY SHIT UP

RIP FREDDY KING

[metart93]

This was the first man who's guitar playing Eric Clapton ever tried to emulate,

This video shows us why

[rocknrollhoochiekoo1]

All i can say is Freddie King must have really endured some pain in his life to be able to express it so well in his music

[vacuum]

3 people hit the dislike button by accident

[panchovillasan]

I'm not a very religious man, but if there is a God, he is somewhere between that guitar and that microphone.

[cdevers100]

@panchovillasan You aint shittin brother. That tone cuts like a Rambo Blade... If your lookin for trouble you come to the right place.....Nothing is over. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[cdevers100]

@panchovillasan Amen Brother

[roadappleband]

@panchovillasan And his name is Freddie King !!

[thedawgshow]

Thanks for the post. What a great cover!!!! No one played it like Mr. Freddie King!!!!!

[catssniffs]

Man that dude is flat out rippen it, WOW, A real blues master. R.I.P. Mr King.

[rluffman99]

Wow! Freddy is the king.

[rollingstopp]

Nobody could say anything against Freddies music,,Thats for sure

[straydogbluesman]

Some guys have great vocals and so-so guitar. Some guys have great guitar and so-so vocals. But Freddie King, he had it all.

[IOYC]

This is just the best god damn clip on youtube. I keep coming back to it.

[youroldsweetie]

daayyuuumm Freeedddiieee Baaabeeee where u been all my life????

[fenix9885]

I love Freddie King. He is one of the most underappreciated guitarists out there. Otis Spann's version of this song was the one that really got me into this song. I like the piano a little more, but this is one of the best guitar versions out there.

[bigmudge]

FREDDIE BABY!!!!!

[Battohan]

Some videos shouldn't have a dislike button

[toadfrogblues]

Freddie King was cold.

[mingledust]

Great great version. Sounds like church is in session and Freddie is preachin with guitar in hand. People just don't capture that feel anymore.

[gmagalios1]

Music coming straight from the heart! very pitty he died so young. He deserved a better recognition in general!

[shrubhater]

His magnificent guitar playing was a compliment to his beautiful vocals.

[sphinx77449]

I wonder if he could have put just a LITTLE more feelin in to that one.

Fuckin 'ell .....

[TTmaniax]

@sphinx77449 You gotta be shittin me...lol

If you ain't, you ought to clue me in as to who I missed.

[semitar6]

Wow....a great song....

[GFunkIsHere2Stay]

man this really comes from the bottom of his heart man..

timeless sound

R.I.P. freddie king!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[131313899]

No cabe duda que el sentimiento se apodera de uno. Es una chingonería deliciosa escuchar el alma de estos cabrones negros. Ante su supuesta adversidad va siempre una propuesta. Tenían muchos pedos, pero también lo mejo de la vida. Que video e interpretación tan chingona. Los felicito por tener tan buen gusto por el blues.

[modir91]

that lick at 0:42 gets me every time

[leonel95]

@modir91 UR totally right on that Bro............ Were the hell can i at least find a lesson or tab for that lick...

Common with SRV also. PEACE@!

[SkyDogJunior]

I've seen many guitarists play with their axe slung low....but I have never seen a bass player play a bass slung that low...damn it looks uncomfortable!

[ScreamingTubes]

gimmee Peter Green any day....

[Danjd1]

@ScreamingTubes there would be no peter green without guys like freddie

[tedwardly]

What the Brits did in terms of "re-inventing" the blues was, in my humble opinion, twofold. They created a version of the real thing, which despite not being quite true to the genre, was good in it's own right. More importantly, they reminded the majority of musically inclined Americans of the treasure trove they had hidden away in their own back yard.

[MrBUBBABENNY]

In the early 70's Jimmy Witherspoon had a radio show in L A - And played all the Greats -Freddie ,BB,Albert,Buddy Guy,Otis Span,Shuggie Ottis w/Johnny Winters,Billy Holiday & many others @ this Time around 1974 - Clapton was hanging w/ Freddie King ask Eric what he thinks of Freddie he will tell u - he was The BEST !

[Rukasu182]

escucho esto, y lo escucho a pappo napolitano!!

[mbrme]

Wow got to see Freddie open for Grand Funk Railroad 1970 at the Forum in Los Angeles I was 13 my very first concert. Price for that show $3.50 had to mow 2 lawns to get money for a ticket.....

[NavyDan2009]

Raw feeling! I love it. No over worked crap just pure tone and voice! Music at it's finest right here, Thank you Freddie.

[W3PO]

I love you Freddie!!!King lives on in my heart, damn this is the blues at it's finest!! K time to take a shot of some fine bourbon.

[bluefishbnb1]

I will say that he is a king of this realm but no need to insult other great guitar players to make a point. Clapton is brilliant and is doing more than most to keep this music alive and kickin! Me and Mr. Johnson anyone?? Come on people! Theres room for everybody and I would have to say that Clapton has earned the right to play the blues!! Not really a life of happiness and joy!! Freddie's blues will live forever!

[bigge0369]

Can any of his stuff still be found today????????????I need this in my truck.

[mariapitkavish]

I used to play this tune giggin' and I still love every note, Freddie sings it way better than I ever could... oh yeah, he also smokes my guitar>>>

[Dankshasta]

Something about Freddie stage presence....everytime I see him on stage he looks 15 feet tall.He's just such a giant personality.

[onthebus17]

@Dankshasta Well, wasn't he like 6'6", not quite 15, but still pretty tall, and one great Guitar player.

[JartBansen]

Anybody say Eric Clapton? lol

[kay3765]

@JartBansen YEARS BEFORE THERE WAS A CLAPTON, THERE WAS A KING

[jiveyallen]

beautiful music man. wish he was still kickin it.

[armandobroncabonet]

este y albert los mas grandes!!!

[saltcreekphil]

even B.B. said he was 'the best' of the Royal King family

[ca34jun]

Words fail me in a good way! Amazin'

[illyaz187]

I'm really pissed that I recently just found out bout this brotha. I think this guy is amazing.

[bluesman690]

what ever happened to the people that dress up to perform their music? show some class, pull up your pants and stop showing your a_ _!!!!

[duckyduckmanduck]

feels like he's being stabbed by the music! so much feelings....

[lenahjonsson]

I can feel it....

[Mammasbajskorv]

Man, you just have to love. Can you feel it??? Can you feel IT? and then best guitar thing in history! 0:45 can repeat it for days!!

[blueeyedbluesboy]

I had ham and bacon today ;) So tomorrow nothing shaking. But it ain't nobody's business if I do :) GREAT SONG! The way FK plays and sings... Every note with emotion...

[LovesTrueSoul]

Dig his bassist! I love how he plays his electric bass like an upright.

[JCiz73]

the REAL king of the blues!!!

[pedrocucam]

@JCiz73 the real king indeed!

[weshkyfran]

what a voice, such kind of feeling ! Amazing guitar ! Damned, he knows how to make his Gibbie es345 crying and screaming her best. freddy is my favourite !!

[DrTahanBlues]

he is pure feeling

[breeze3003]

Looks like 3 people were drunk, had bad aim and missed the "like" button.

[josefolter13]

2:38 se equivoca?

[donadthegonad]

@josefolter13 fuck you

[ramiz110]

amazing man, amazing band as well, fantastic performance

[diamandat]

The fact that it has been views so few times could be because the spelling of the song title is wrong...it should be "business" ........ Freddie is damn good!!! Really love his passion....

[latinoyam]

pure feeling!!

[pinkysgrl]

Could the bass player be wearing his bass any lower?

Great, great stuff. He is missed.

[ralorpa]

@pinkysgrl

haha, I laughed when I looked it up after your comment. Lower is impossible...

[BeauB66]

Only 96,500 views is a joke, especially considering I account for roughly 200 of them. Freddie King is the best. ever.

[EZIOTHEMASTER]

This is playing the guitar!!!!

[murc2691]

Love when he comes back in at 2.37 in the wrong key but corrects it without a smile. Proper blues

[therealraybaby]

Holy Ghost blues!

[Uggybow]

Goosebumps allover. What a performer, what a guitar player. When talkin about the blues people bring up Clapton(and srv but especially Mike Bloomfield, Roy BUchanan and Peter Green are lightyears ahead of Eric as far as them blues are concerned)....he ain't a god not even a KING...Damn Freddire you touch me to my soul. And what a voice...This is a fuckin standard for music, this comes from the heart.

Bravo Freddie, that's the way it should be done.

[bluescruiser]

Quite a lot of fuckin' thefabb, are you american? Cause that folk fuck a lot, whereever they go or whatever they do, they fuck up a lot of people and things, real fuckers I would say, fuck'n! Still, Mr. Freddie King is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest. Need no fuck to say that!

[allanandjana]

Freddie,

Texas 8-5A can FEEL IT ! ! ! ! !

You are the KING Freddie!

RIP baby !

[barzatops]

Just incredible..... am gonna get me measured up for a blue suit just like freddy's

[stylejunkiex]

Watching him perform is like someone reaching down into your soul and pulling out these deep and powerful emotions you never knew you had. I am fascinated by Freddie.. he's so amazing.

[MrSugarharp]

Fredie King is a Bluesmaster!

[baileyblake1]

freedie king is the buisiness

[bigmudge]

freddie baby!!!!!!

[aprop544]

immenso Freddie con il suo blues da "mordere"......shiver

[chasewerty]

freddy king is the greatest of all time!!

[bbb2blues]

DAT'S Blues!!!!

[Guitarkingcharly]

Grande entre los grandes !!

Una bestia del sentimiento y el buen hacer, irrepetible.

[yukmouththaregime]

always always tears comin when i feel his voice an guitar playin through my body. it is soooo intense..

[ppericodelosppalotes]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alttuning]

Brother, turned that P-Bass into an upright!

[clehneis]

Freddy King is the Pinnacle of Blues guitar and singing.

[rildo730]

Antigamente não tinhamos tecnologia, por isso era fácil de escutar e identificar uma voz maravilhosa e o som de uma guitarra bem tocada, hoje a midia encobre muita porcaria, ainda bem que existe o you tube e outros recursos assim não precisamos nos sujeitar a qualquer musica

[bloosdoode]

Is this vid from an available DVD...? Love Freddie doing this, he was one of the true greats of Blues.

[PatClapp]

I understand if there's some people that can't feel this (the blues). Then again I can't. If you're human you can feel this. AMAZING.

[turbines123]

One up to you 'thefabb. We let the greats struggle all their life but when we feel them touch our lives, they are already gone.

[soulsurvivor5555]

freddie taught clapton well

[bbb2blues]

@soulsurvivor5555 thank U and other too!!!!!

[txlastrebel]

@soulsurvivor5555 Clapton sucks.

[stonedpimpdaddy]

@txlastrebel LOL Yes Clapton sucks compared to the old Blues Masters. As they slowly die off and are gone forever. Guys like Clapton are trying so hard to keep alive what these guys did so effortlessly. It's a sad thing that when all the old masters are dead and gone, all we will have is guys like Clapton and Jack White to carry on..........................ve­ry sad indeed..............

[theshowmecanuck]

@stonedpimpdaddy Clapton does not suck. And yes the original masters are missed. But don't deride anyone because you are sad that we cannot see the originals. That is less than just not being cool. I had a chance to see and play with a couple of the unsung blues masters who had 50 years or more of playing under their belts. There are many who just didn't quite catch the fame boat but played day in and out and kept the blues alive. I miss them just as much. Chicago, Saint Louis, Memphis, K.C. :(

[pekoe67]

@txlastrebel

Who ?

[Apathesis0]

@txlastrebel He is probably beside himself that his fellow Yardbird Jeff Beck got nasty on the guitar. That dude is still getting better and he is already a master.

[thefabb]

They call him him the Texas Cannonball but when he was 16 in 1949 he was on stage with Howlin Wolf, Little Walter, Muddy Waters and all the Chicago Blues greats. He is raw Chicago Blues and the creator of Blues Rock before the british came along and took the crown because America is fucked up when it comes to it's own artists till they are dead, then everyone says some Bullshit how great the cat was but not in his lifetime oh no, cant do that we might fucking offend someone in nashville, fuck

[playloud666]

so godamn true. I'm from Greece but I've searched the blues to the bone.

Hey, nobody's business if I do.

Otis Spann's version is also great

[SugarXMind99]

LMAO...Amen! Ain't that the truth.

[zlatz1]

Agreed!! love to build a person up, when its popular and the 'in' thing, tear em down even faster when it becomes popular...then build em up again after they die....claimin they loved em the most...ex. michael jackson....if tiger woods died tomorrow or even britney spears, millions would claim they always loved em, and they were they're biggest fan, even though now they treat em like shit...IMO of course

[BigRooster82]

@thefabb that is true

[BigRooster82]

@thefabb that is true

[jinav62]

@thefabb So Well said/written. Clever comment !!

[calwaite]

@thefabb The British musicians never took any crown for any type of music, and most certainly not for anything related to the blues. There were some great British guitar players, but the rest of their bands and the overall sound of their attempts at blues music were not what I would call "great" or "sensational" in any sense of the word.

[lolgellor]

@calwaite I'm presuming you are a septic (slang -look it up) Freddie was indeed another of your unappreciated gems, for me one of the most emotive, guvnor bluesmen your country ever produced, with regard the other comments you really are a silly boy and we have a saying that covers it "shut up and sit down".

[bluesbhoystu]

@thefabb I get that mate .Got into him late on 20 years ago ,seen a bridge between him and the old school and the Brittish blues explosion {can hear a bit of Greeny in there also}

[gypsy469]

@thefabb i am actually impressed with your knowledge....

[geordie54]

@thefabb You're right for the "British Blues Boom", I agree !!

[Detman101]

@thefabb Now that's the truth!!

Dm

[TheAmorican]

@thefabb there is nothing wrong with nashville its just the no talent bullshit vultures that live there...

[ibeyoutu]

One of the few postings on youtube that hasn't turned into a slagging match. Thanks Freddie.

[TapeMeasureandhair]

spoke too soon...

[ppericodelosppalotes]

this guy is a wild animal, he's a machine

can you feel it?? Looooord lord lord lord, totaly awsome raw power!!!!

[solinjar]

a religious experience

[solinjar]

damn!!!

[solinjar]

The Blues,gotta love it...

[Tzaosirus7]

Amazing.

[ryanakababyface]

Amazing guitar playing especially at 3:48, Great tone and style, and stage presence, the mans a legend!!!!!!

the rhythm player is great aswell, does anyone know his name?

[bloosdoode]

I agree with ConcreteLake about Freddie's voice -- one of the best in blues.. but coupled with his tremendous guitar ability, it made for a killer combination that I never tire of. He made this song his own and it's a great example of how the spaces between the notes are just as important as the notes themelves. He also gets a fantastic sound out of the goldtop Les Paul he played on his older recordings.

[Sarcasmo48]

Agreed. It's cool that this song starts with just a riff. Which is awesome. And then he opens his mouth... Badass.

[1957Stratman]

WOW!!! I wish I had seen him live.Ya know somethin, that's why he was such a big man; it takes a man of his size to house all that talent. Why is it all the great ones die young??

[tomitstube]

wow.

[blattspitze]

Thanks from Germany for uploading, Freddie sings and plays so ... right, can`t get enough of this vid ...

[horaceize]

He was the KING of KINGS and if heaven does exists he must be there busy playing and singing the blues to GOD.

[luit13]

The King is dead, but shurely: LONG LIVE THE KING!!!

[beatlesfan129]

its as if the holy ghost merged with his fingers

[Parmella]

This man played from his heart and soul. Wish I had seen him live.....RIP

[ConcreteLake]

Even if he didn't play guitar, he would still rank as a blues legend based on his singing alone.

[TRBUFF]

I love everything about his playing in this song. RIP.

[mljansson]

Sooo GOOOD i shivers i´m from Sweden A Blues, soul Girl

[michaeljamsmith]

I use to wear my guitar of the right shoulder after I broke my collarbone. I don't know why I switch back. Oh, and Freddie's guitaris screamin' on this cut!

[Falcon1956]

This man is a legend.

[soutltank]

hi, you´re not very busy on YT, right? But so do I and I´ve found you and your vids - great vids of Freddie King!

The version of Eric Burdon is diff. - of course - but have you heared it?

[Guiche50]

Can you feeling?

[YoGroucho]

Yes the are the three Kings but in this way

Freddy King

Albert King

B.B. King

[nebadon]

With Freddie . . . passion rules the BLUES. Pure Feeling.

[CFMPmadSfX]

My God... This is the most phenomenol playing of the blues i've ever heard... Im completely speechless...

[kingstumble]

I guess my user name is a bit of a giveaway!

I first saw Freddie King play in a tiny club in Wolverhampton UK in '68 or '69(this was before the Shelter era).

To say that he blew me away is a huge understatement.I had never seen the blues played like that before.

I met Freddie in the bar after that gig where he was more than happy to chat at length about guitars,amps,technique etc.

I don't think we will ever see his like again.

What a player.What a man.

RIP Freddie.You WERE the greatest.

[trustratplaya]

That song hits me deep inside. Kinda like the holy ghost!

There are three great Kings,
