  • Happy BD Elmore (27 Jan), thx fr the music

    this one's my favorite

  • All the friendzoned guys can relate to this.

  • Comment removed

  • It's funny how my cat meows at this song.

    Weird though.

    Blues is divine!

  • This is Elmore James! Now you see why he is GREAT ELMORE JAMES!

  • The Best!!!! Go Elmore

    

  • This is heaven. This is music.

  • Elmore got the real spirit!

  • 8 dislikes is just embarrassing

  • Si señor, un sonido buenisimo. Gracias.

  • That's the real hully-gully

  • @mlparker1061 Spot on!

  • Wooee, that piana drives me cra-zay!

  • @BabyPuma124 that's Ike Turner!

  • @lovechild89507  Is it? Somewhere I heard it was Little Johnny Jones on piano, not Ike Turner. (?) Whoever it is, he does a fine job. Steals the show IMO.

  • @BabyPuma124 You are right, of course. What was I thinking? Ike Turner was on the Mississippi sessions, but not on later ones.

  • If your here you know where its at...Screw the masses let em turn into sheep listening to autotuned music

  • This sends shivers down your spine and lifts yiou off the floor. The simplicy of his style hides the genius from the ignorant.

  • here,here in my heart..................

  • love the blues

  • so glad this guy shared his talents

  • I don't understand why only 387k views?

  • @Thorogood94

    It's a pity, but the vast majority prefers to listen to modern talentless pop-music instead of such a great talents like Elmore James. When I compare number of views of this song and similar ones with the number of views of say satanic clips by Lady GaGa I start to feel despair

  • Seems all Blues are a rip off of the early greats. At least a few (Clapton) give them credit

  • So good it made me chuckle :D

  • Good beyond words!

  • 2:10 onwards, my soul actually shivered

  • What a voice! One of a kind.

  • @TACarhart ,,thats a good description TACarhart,nobody can do it as good as elmore !!,he owns this song and just about every song hes sang,i just love that twangy guitar when he says'''''when thangs go wrong'''',,,hey!!!! now thats some blues for ur ass!!!!

  • much imitated - never reached

  • How could anyone dislike this???

  • fab

  • AWESOME OLD SKOOOL KOOOL BLUES JAM!!! THNX!! RESPECT!!!

  • Those dislike must have come from Yngwie fans who don't know real blues when they hear it.

  • that is pure pleasure...!

  • known as the king of the slide guitar, ''elmore james'' lives up to his reputation here in ''it hurts me too''...al

  • THE Perfect blues song, right 'ere.

  • I love blues and almore james he is shit and legend

  • Come on Now....Elmore was a god. But Hendrix was the pinnacle of Dealta, Chicago, Piedmont, Dallas, jump, you name ir - BLUES. Hendrix his the champion of a 50 year era. He was great because of greats like Elmore. But no-one has touched him since.

  • I hate it when someone dislike the blues

  • @mig29su27f16 don't hate. It's hard enough for them not to have a soul.

  • @mig29su27f16

    Me to.

  • @mig29su27f16  "Forgive them for they no not what they do."

  • @mig29su27f16 Me too, pal, but not everybody's got the blues

  • @mig29su27f16 Whenever someone dislikes the blues, it's not a bad thing lol. It's the one thing that when you dislike it, you're actually happy ;)

  • the art for the artists and the shit is for the shiters

  • @mig29su27f16 I know, it's like disliking the natural, infinite flow of the universe.

  • Comment removed

  • How did a great song turn into a big dick contest ? Stop thinking in "Black and White" and you might get somewhere in life or at least enjoy it more !

  • Comment removed

  • Hey, can you guys keep it down? I'm trying to listen to Elmore James here . . .

  • @mando3b Hint: use your ears.

  • "I am convinced that the future music of this country must be founded on what are called Negro melodies. These can be the foundation of a serious and original school of composition, to be developed in the United States. These beautiful and varied themes are the product of the soil. They are the folk songs of America and your composers must turn to them." [3]

  • hahahah @ "obscure website" rofllll the truth hurts dosent it?

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Yes, obscure website. I KNOW the truth hurts you that without the white devil's influence in Jazz (Classical & the instruments which Jazz relies on), Jazz wouldn't exist. Fucking LOL

  • @qushrad65 Truth hurts.....non whites were responsible for the guitar lmfaoooooooooooo

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable An obscure website is all you have. Hahahahaha...

    Virtually all the instruments which Jazz relies on were invented by white devils. OUCH! LOL

    Also, how does it feel to be using the PC, internet & world wide web? They were all invented by the white devil too. LMFAO

  • @qushrad65 A black man was instrumental in building the computer :

    Mark E. Dean (born March 2, 1957) is an inventor and a computer engineer. He led the team that developed the ISA bus, and he led the design team responsible for creating the first[citation needed] one-gigahertz computer processor chip.He holds three of IBM's original nine PC patents. In August 2011, writing in his blog, Dean stated that he now uses a tablet computer instead of a PC. [2][3]

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Nope, he wasn't. I KNEW you'd mention Mark Dean. That's what EVERY Afro-centric does. They always bring his name up lol. He had absolutely no significant influence on the creation of the computer. (cont)...

  • @qushrad65 Hmm lets see, my PROOF vs your claims

    i think i know whos winning this argument , rofl

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Google the long list of people I just listed. Mark Dean is a nobody.

    Yes, it's VERY clear who's winning this argument. LMFAO

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Research these names - Konrad Zuse, Douglas Engelbart, Alan Turing, Howard H. Aiken, J. Presper Eckert, John Mauchly, Maurice Wilkes, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Christopher Strachey, J. C. R. Licklider, Gordon Moore, Alan Shugart, Robert Noyce, Jack Kilby, Paul Allen, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Christopher Latham Sholes, Chester Carlson, Allen B. DuMont, Philip Don Estridge, Ivan Sutherland, Leonard Kleinrock, Bob Kahn, Chuck Peddle, Vint Cerf.

  • @qushrad65 Dr. Philip Emeagwali

    Inventor of the World's Fastest Computer

    Dr. Philip Emeagwali, who has been called the "Bill Gates of Africa," was born in Nigeria in 1954. In 1989, emulating the bees' honeycomb construction, Emeagwali used 65,000 processors to invent the world's fastest computer, which performs computations at 3.1 billion calculations per second.

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable How Philip Emeagwali Lied His Way To Fame

    Philip Emeagwali stirs up diverse emotions in Nigerians, Africans, and black people around the world. His claim of being a father of the Internet, of having invented the Connection Machine, of possessing 41patented inventions, of winning “the Nobel Prize of Computing” and of being a “doctor” and/or “professor” have been conclusively debunked with widely documented evidence.

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable The fastest performance of a computer application in 1989 was 6 billion floating point operations per second (6 Gflops), achieved by a team from Mobil and Thinking Machines Corp. on a 64,000-processor "Connection Machine" invented by Danny Hillis. That was almost double the 3.1 Gflops of Emeagwali's computation. Computing's Nobel Prize equivalent is the Turing Award, which Emeagwali has never won.

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Debunking the many myths of Mr. Emeagwali’s “achievements” is one the easiest things to do on earth if you have a computer with Internet access. Let us start with his claim of possessing 41 (32 by some accounts on some hero-worshipping black websites) patents for various inventions. A simple search at the website of the US Patent and Trade Mark Office reveals that Mr. Emeagwali has only one registered patent, for Emeagwali . com, his website.

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable He has no other patent listed against his name. It is the same patent that most owners of independent websites apply for to legally protect their proprietary rights over the website and its contents. We can state conclusively then that Mr. Emeagwali has no patented invention of any kind, contrary to his and his supporters’ claim.

  • @qushrad65 You mean the instruments that were influenced by non whites (e,g arab influenced spanish guitar)

    LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable No, I mean the piano, saxophone, double bass, bass guitar, electric guitar.... LMFAO

    It must cut you so deeply, knowing that without the white devil inventing all these instruments, Jazz (and virtually all the music you listen to) wouldn't exist. Hahahahahahaha

  • @qushrad65 Not all jazz relies on some of the instruments youve just mentioned

    fail again rofl

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Take those instruments away from Jazz... what's left? Not much. LMFAO

  • ROFL you are grasping for straws

    In the end , who cares where the instruments supposedly originated? It was the blacks who took them,mastered them,and created just about every genre of american music.

    Same things witht he blacks throughout latin america , rofl

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Because without them, they wouldn't be able to make the music... DUUHHHHHH LMFAO

  • Are you shittin me1 Elmores the best

  • can you dig it man.

    

  • Can't beat that with a Stick ! that is Music .

  • jennique + boydy por vida

  • Amazing!

    

  • been listening to as much blues as I can for about 5 years now... and I thought Hendrix was at the tip of the top. Boy was I wrong.

  • I love blues and have listened to blues all my live, including uncountable live blues performances, but my fall back guy is always Elmore James. He is the classic.

  • is it right that there is no live footage of the great Elmore James in existence ??

  • I thought FLEETWOOD MAC wrote all these songs!!! - or was it EC - HA HA FUCKING HA. - or was it EC!!!

  • I thought FLEETWOOD MAC wrote all these songs!!! - HA HA FUCKING HA.

  • I'm gonna break my mouse and the F5 key replaying this

  • this is the shit....A+ shit

  • To Benedict05: Black "dudes" have been creating all the music in the U.S. People like you attacked blues when it came out, jazz when it came out, doo-wop when it came out, rock n roll when it came out, soul music when it came out, funk when it came out, and now rap.

  • @willetlineroad god finally someone else who thinks like me. i'm not a huge rap fan but i just hate it when people hate on it just cause its not what they like. it causes a shit cycle of hate.

  • Hey black dudes, this is music, not that shit you call, rap or hip hop.

  • @benedicto605 your a piece of shit because if it wasn't for alot of black music man of the white artist would not have a career...rock, rap, hip hop, jazz and blues ..all come from the blacks...grow up

  • @skyiscrying53 Why even bother with that white trash ignoramus? We know what's right and he's just here to rile us.

  • @skyiscrying53 we'd best thank the white man for inventing the guitar, electric guitar, double bass, bass guitar, piano, violin, saxophone, trumpet etc etc

  • @noticityrealicity The guitar has its original origins in the middle east , nice try

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Why'd you think they call it the 'Spanish' guitar? You're talking about some other stringed instrument. The GUITAR is European. Every instrument I listed has its origins in Europe. Your attempt at trying to re-write history was typical of anti-white racists. I do enjoy laughing at you people. :-)

  • @noticityrealicity I enjoy laughing at you people too :)

    There you go with your euro centric,white-washed mentality

    The Guitar does not have its early traces in Europe, but the Middle East. Look it up

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable As I said, you're not talking about the guitar. You're talking about another string instrument. Why do you think the classical guitar is also called the SPANISH guitar? Musicians are not using this old middle-eastern instrument you keep mentioning. They're using the SPANISH guitar which comes from SPAIN (a EUROPEAN country).

  • @noticityrealicity I think you are the anti-black racists. Your kind come on old blues/jazz videos like this and interject the MYTH of these instruments being European in origin , when presented with the fact that these genre's of music are part of the Afro American tradition

    Not my fault you all are insecure.

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable "RacistS"? That's plural, dopey.

    You haven't come with any facts. You're just churning out the same old afro-centric nonsense. Why do you think the SAXophone is called the SAXophone? Because it was invented by Adolphe SAX (a Belgian). Would you like to deny who invented the Piano, too? Go ahead. I DARE you. Jaja... :-D

    Would you also like to deal with the fact that Jazz wouldn't be what it is without its Classical music influence? No, of course you don't. Jaja... :-D

  • @noticityrealicity lmao @ "Afrocentric nonsense". Please tell me what ive said thus far that would be considered "Afrocentric"? You are grasping for straws right now

    I didnt say anything about the Sax dummy , i was talking about the guitar and some of the other instruments you named.And are you inferring that classical music has no non european influences as well? ;)

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable You said what I'm saying is "euro centric" and "white washed", when I'm simply just stating facts. If I'm "euro centric", then you're Afro-centric. You're saying the exact same things Afro-centrics say.

    The guitar comes from Spain. Fact.

    Individual composers may have non-European influences, but as a genre of music, a non-European influence is virtually non-existent.

    I didn't say whites invented Jazz, although they have had a HUGE influence on it. It's still shit though.

  • @noticityrealicity The guitar comes from the middle east - FACT."The term is used to refer to a number of related instruments that were developed and used across Europe beginning in the 12th century and, later, in the Americas.[2] These instruments are descended from ones that existed in ancient central Asia and India."

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable That proves me right you MORON. lol... I said EXACTLY what you've quoted. You were referring to another stringed instrument. Modern-day musicians aren't using these stringed-instruments that existed in India & central Asia, are they? They're using the GUITAR, which comes from SPAIN. LOL

    I have to laugh though... you think India & central Asia are the Middle-East. LMAO

  • @noticityrealicity I said the guitar's earliest orgins lie elsewhere than Europe and it turns out i was right. Nobody in particular can take full credit for the guitar,period. Also , west african ethnic groups wernt novice's to string instruments.The banjo is west african which comes from the akonting.

    Lets not forget the muslim influence that persisted over centuries on spanish culture LMAO

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable No, you said the guitar comes from the middle-east, dopey. You're talking about another stringed instrument. The guitar comes from Spain. Now you're trying to say Muslims invented it... Hahahaha... I'm still laughing at how you think India & central Asia are in the middle-east. LMFAO

    Take the piano, saxophone, double bass, electric guitar, bass guitar away from Jazz... what is there? This isn't rhetorical... I actually want you to answer. lol

  • @qushrad65 "While northern Europe was still emerging from barbaric hoards dressed in animal skins, the Islamic world surrounding the Mediterranean was developing different fabrics of cotton, wool and silk; cultivating new crops such as eggplant, peppers and asparagus; and composing music with a delicacy made possible by the evolution of the lute into the guitar that we know today."

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable It's funny, you mentioned Claude Debussy in regards to what you claim was his "Jazz inspired music", then when asked to name some pieces which were Jazz inspired, you couldn't answer me. lol

    Here's some actual facts for you - "During this period Debussy wrote much for the piano. The set of pieces entitled Pour le piano (1901) utilises rich harmonies and textures which would later prove important in Jazz music." (cont)...

  • @qushrad65 "Debussy probably heard ragtime when the famous band led by John Philip Sousa appeared at the 1900 Paris Exposition as part of a European tour. The crisp clarity of the idiom must have appealed to Debussy’s growing sense of anti-romanticism, and he went on to emulate the ragtime style in three piano pieces"

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Okay, so you have absolutely no evidence that Debussy's Classical music was inspired by Jazz.

    And wasn't John Philip Sousa a white devil anyway? Oh yes... yes he was. LMFAO

  • @qushrad65 I didnt say all of his music dumb ass

    Buy Debussy WAS influenced by Afro american spirituals which can be CLEARLY heard in his new world piece

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Debussy's New World piece? What on earth are you babbling on about?

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable (cont)... "He also influenced many important figures in Jazz, most notably George Gershwin, Bill Evans, George Shearing, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Herbie Hancock and Jimmy Giuffre."

    LMAO... you are destroyed, once again...

    I'll be waiting for you to list all these pieces from the composers you mentioned which you claim were influenced by Jazz. :-)

  • @qushrad65 Now you are posting with alternate accounts?

    LMAO do you have a life?

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Wasn't it you who searched me out, to reply to me on another video? And you're accusing me of not having a life? lol

  • @qushrad65 If thats what you want to believe, that i actively searched you out , then so be it lmfao

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Oh yes, just a massive coincident, I'm sure... lol...

  • @qushrad65 Ziryab is recognized as the person who modified the lute by adding a fifth string, thus creating what developed into the Spanish guitar. Through his music he became an Arab superstar in Cordoba and created a music school that continued 500 years after his death

  • @qushrad65 Therefore the ARAB MUSLIMS in Spain are ultimately responsible for the creation of what we today know as the "guitar"

    lmao destroyed yet again

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable LMAO... you find some obscure quote from some unknown website and that's your proof?

  • @qushrad65 Phillip Sousa was a white devil who learned Ragtime from the Blacks and was famous for playing Scott Joplins (father of ragtime) music ;)

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable And here we have some more white devil influence.

  • @qushrad65 The best known of these is "Golliwog’s Cakewalk" (part of his Children’s Corner suite, completed in 1908), which includes an incongruous quotation from Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde. Debussy returned to the ragtime style in two later piano preludes: "Minstrels" (1910) and "General Lavine--excentric [sic]"

  • @qushrad65 Yeah there were a slew of jazz musicians who were partly influenced by impressionist artist,so what? I just posted proof that JAzz (ragtime music is an early form of jazz) influenced some of their work

    lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable What I posted (Debussy's influence on Jazz) is just a drop in the ocean in regards to Classical influence in Jazz. Without Classical, Jazz wouldn't exist.

    I just posted proof that Debussy influenced Jazz. I also asked you to tell me what would Jazz be without all the instruments which were created by white devils. Could you answer that? Come on... :-D

  • @qushrad65 I noticed how you didnt respond to the proof I posted about the guitar being greatly influenced by the arabs in spain , lmao

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable I DID respond to it. You posted some quote from some obscure website. LOL

  • @qushrad65 on Dvorak - "He found the inspiration he needed for American music in the melodies of Native and African Americans. In his opinion, these were the melodies that would contribute most heavily to the foundation of an American musical style. Dvorak was introduced to African American spirituals through his friendship with Harry Burleigh, one of his students who later became his personal assistant"

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable : the guitar was brought to Spain by the Arab moors of north Africa.

  • @noticityrealicity Whites have not had a huge influence on Jazz, sorry. The overwhelming majority of Jazz musicians spanning the 20th century have been black. Buddy Bolden , a black man, is credited for the invention of jazz. Duke Ellington is considered in many circles to be the greatest American composer.Sorry

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Whites have had a huge influence on Jazz, and many other genres of music. No need to be sorry. :-)

    For example, Jazz wouldn't exist without Classical. Whites had a huge influence with early Swing & Dixieland bands. Then we have the actual musical instruments which Jazz relies on. Take the piano, double bass, electric guitar, bass guitar & saxophone away from Jazz... what do you have? Exactly.

    You actually searched me out to reply to me on that other video. Wow... lol...

  • @noticityrealicity Yes obviously jazz has classical influences.It also has the influences of various African ethnic groups....your point? It was blacks who picked up those instruments and merged the two , not whites.

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable (continued)... Point is - Jazz wouldn't be what it is without Classical music.

  • @noticityrealicity Jazz wouldnt be what it is without the African elements.Neither would the majority of American music genre's

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable Jazz wouldn't exist without Classical music.

  • @noticityrealicity Jazz wouldnt exist without African music.

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable I don't deny that. But the fact is, Jazz wouldn't exist without Classical music either.

  • Comment removed

  • @noticityrealicity The trumpet goes back to antiquity ...so does the violin which has its earliest origins in central asia

    sorry but whites wernt the first to "invent" many of the instruments you've named

  • Slide guitar master!!

  • This is the real King of the slide guitar.

  • pure inspiration, spirit and feelings...

  • Thank Gawd for youTube. Where are all the cats who can carry on like Elmore James. Damn, but the guy was amazing!

  • Crimen Sollicitationis

  • Really ?? 6 morons hit dislike button ? what kind of music are you listening to ? the jonas bro ?

  • mein gott kann der gut singen!! wo ich herkomme ( Bosnien ) gelten eben solche Sänger wie Elmore , die dieses Zittern am Schluss ^^ beim Singen können, als die besten Sänger !! siehe Miroslav Ilic oder Safet Isovic , die beherrschen auch dieses verdammte Zittern !! hhehe

  • One of the best singer/songwriters ever to be known in the blues industry...my idol

  • KICK ASS!!!

  • The most wonderful song i ever heard...

  • love the drumss

  • @6t4eldo no video of Elmore. He died just before they were gonna film him. Pity. You can see video of his son though. EJ Junior.

  • MADISON BLUES WAS HIS BEST HIT MY OPINION

  • @assedup88 On the LP Record named Story of the Blues noM 63573 CBS stand a track named Sunnyland Train and it was prevously never been on record before and Homesick James the nephew of Elmore told us years ago in Amsterdan that he was playin'on the record,wish to know more pleas inform me

  • Actually Elmore didn't write this song......When things go wrong(it hurts me too) was recorded in Chicago in 1930 by Tampa Red

  • Nobody played that slide guitar like Elmore!!

  • very cool.

  • any live video of this cat???

  • One of my FAVOURITE songs of all time... John "Whiteboy" Walden.

  • You can look for the Trip Record number TLP 8007/1,2,3,4, named History of Elmore James for further information about the time they recorded Elmore

    By the late misterBobby Ribinson for he was the producer

  • @bobobekker Yes it was Robinson, but there is an earlier better version of this, this version here being from a session close to his death issued on Blue Horizon LP762230 late 60,s remakes with live chat by elmore, Bushy Head on piano.

  • What a Sound!

  • True enough, Dylan was an influence on Jimi as a LYRICIST. But way before Dylan was on the scene Jimi was listening to & being influenced by Albert King, Muddy Waters, B.B., and ELMORE JAMES. BLUES GUITARISTS. Look it up. Read a bio on Hendrix.

  • Don't overlook the piana crying too.

  • I'm experiencing my first taste of unrequited love, unfortunately this song now makes sense to me in ways it never did before. Thank god for the Blues.

  • And Jimmy Page most of Zep's are oriented around this type of tuning

  • Jimi Hendrix's hero.

  • @Pumarisi124 Jimis hero was Dylan!

  • What a wonderful song!

  • This is my second most favorite song of all time. It has been recorded by everybody. This is o
