I am new to this, SORRY, I've been listening to this since the 70's believe me it's been a long hard time any good blues bars left in Detroit let a po boy know. Thanks
well without people like Elmore James , Muddy Waters Dinah Washinton , Robert Johnson and many more. The muzic of today would be so diffrent. The formention form many kinds of todays muzic. well from the late 50's , 60's and 70's From rock & Roll to Southern Rock Bands. They influenced the likes of Chuck Berry , Otis Redding ,The Allman Brothers to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Sadly i dont see many to carry on after these bands are gone on to the next world.

Too many blues players will not play this. I don't know why. Maybe it is out of respect to Robert Johnson, but I think they are afraid they will not do it justice. Thanks for sharing.
Epiphany! I am a white Brit bought up on Clapton et al and often wondered what George Harrison meant when he mentioned Elmore in a famous Beatles song; now I know. THIS IS THE BEST. All western musos been copying this stuff - and others - forever more and selling it albeit watered down, to us. Now I know the real thing I love it .. gotta have more, gotta have more, more more more!!!
I was a teenager when Elmore was in his prime and you could hardly find his music on the radio. Luckily there was one black station that played stuff like the Chicago Blues with Elmore, the Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Slim Harpo, Muddy, Lightning Slim and a host of others. I dug the Wolf but I loved Elmore. I still have my 45 of Dust My Broom. It is a treasure. Only some white folk now like this kind of music but in my day the black community ate this stuff up.
UNBELIEVABLE! only ONE comment here ! This is about the very best blues songs of all time and only one bugger ( ME) is commenting ! This is an HONOUR for ME! Apparently the world is more interested in DAVID CARRADINE masturbating himself to death or if BRITNEY farted! BUT I DONT CARE! I care about ELMORES MUSIC and WHOEVER put this video in here, may GOD BLESS HIM FOR A LOOOOONG LOOOONG TIME!!!!
Blues as a genre isn't very popular at the moment and Elmore James isn't as well-known bluesman as say B.B. King may be. I'm just glad that people, like you, can enjoy this music and I hope that Youtube doesn't take it down for infringement or something like that.
BB admits that he got the vibrato that he uses from Elmore! Elmore is my favorite blues player/singer of all time. Not to take anything from Robert Johnson, though.

Elmore James is one of the major bluesmen of all time, and a joy to listen to, with style and fabulous voice, phrasing, and feel.

Elmore James - in a class by himself entirely - no other blues singer comes even close to that man

@psychiczebra I don't think Youtube would do that. Most of my videos don't over 1000 views ( :'( ) But they don't remove them.
