December 3rd 1976......The world lost the baddest, meanest, and best bluesman that has ever lived. With the intensity that he played, it is no surprise that he died of a heart attack....Every time I listen to Freddie, or Freddy from the sixties, my heart skips a beat or two......Yes, he is the best King of them all.......Long Live Mr. King....
@cdevers100 the texas cannonball.. may he rest in peace. such command of his guitar. even at top speed he was in low gear.. effortless. slicker than gooseshit. what a loss. today, he would stand at the top of the world. it's the ultimate compliment when the best players of today jeff beck, stevie ray, KEITH RICHARDS.. THEY ALL PLAY GOING DOWN. and the kick in the balls is.. NONE of them can stick with the texas cannonball period
Oh man,wow,wow,wow!! I love how he shakes that guitar and manhandles it! Nobody does that! It's like he is squeezing the blue notes right out of it. Love it! Thanks for posting! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"
Dallas, TX - The BEAT - legendary radio personality, Mr. Hoss Allen. Billy Cox (band of Gypsies) playing bass. Freeman Brown on drums. Legendary Johnny Jones (standing next to Billy) on rhythm guitar. He taught Jimi Hendrix how to play the blues! I was fortunate to play bass behind Johnny Jones a few years back on a midwest tour. Oh yeah. Freddie King is the real deal! More soul in his finger tip than most of us have in our entire body. Thanks for sharing this clip.
hey, wooah freddie rules! how dared the presenter step in in the middle of the solo. tv timetable over art?!? ugly...
