i'm glad you mentioned about his guitar because many don't know that he "literally" played upside down. he didn't play conventional chords, many, 9ths, 7ths, and majors,but his "pulldown" was the average axe man's "bend". he was able to do some fantastic things with that . as a guitarist i ca...

albert was one of the many "ole founding fathers of the blues", and stevie and MANY others have gottend SO MANY licks, etc, from this master and others.

thouse that are just learn'n about this, especially guitar players, better recognize the folks that laid the foundation for the sounds you enjoy today...

thanks "ryan sandler98" for allowing us to see this. buddy guy's one of the living ledgends...

buddy guy wasn't "dog'n" clapton or anyone else out, he TOLD THE TRUTH, and that hurts a lot of "non people of color". there was nothing he said that wasn't factual. many of these black blues, r&b artist, etc, went to their graves without ever getting proper financial compensation or regognit...

you're right rbyrd1000, he definitely hasn't gotten that recognition.

@readeronke; you've got it backwards, chuck was the originator, buddy and other's covered it.

pt.2) weeks later, she comes back down to the studio and this attractive woman was with her. she said, "this is my friend, claudette robinson". we hugged, etc, and talked for awhile.

a well known radio comic by the name of Kevin Woodson does the voices. He's a friend of my father's . He's been in the business a long time.

country artist T.G. shepard recorded a country album on the motown lable, and he's white, in case you didn't know.

black cowboy here; we're always trying to get that information out to people.

one of my ALL TIME FAV artists...anything i hear from his reminds me of "back in the day". i use to always tell folks that "even the crackle of smokey's records sounded good!"

that's soul...you can't teach it, it has to come naturally.

one of my all time favorites...it was a MAJOR hit when i was a pre-teen, and a soul classic .

one of my favorite songs of all time...

one of the true legends that many have borrowed and even stolen from.

it's a cultural thing...i understood every word

this was one of those classsic songs of the 60's. it definitely reminds me of my childhool. great stuff !

@190imediva: kevin woodson is a friend of my father's , and he's the guy that does all the voices in heaven. h e does stuff for many stations, and is very funny.

@sodamnhappy26: the guy doing the variety of voices is a radio comedian named kevin woodson. he's too damn funny !!

Radio comedian Kevin Woodson does all those voices, he's so funny! My father knows him well.

yes, this is a fantastic piece that i've been listening to for more than 40 yrs now. it's blues influence is so evident...one of my favorite jams.

one of my favorite songs on the planet, and has been for MANY years. God be praised!!!

GREAT stuff! This is "full ride" material, for sure!

Not only does this guy have hands, speed, and grit, but he's a fantastic human being to boot.

Signed Mr. Woodson

P.S.: great block near the end of the reel! "If you "ain't" catch'n it, you're help'n to move it".

it's only natural that we as mortals attempt to use our logic, reasoning, etc, in dealing with issues, but we MUST know how to "let go and let GOD".

bless all of you all on here , whoever you are, wherever you might be, and whatever you problems , issues , and concerns are.

@coltssuperocean: i guess it always boggles my mind when i hear people say "they can't believe". we're still dealing with bigotry of gays, blacks, hispanics, etc. it unfortunately, never left.

simply one of the musical classics for the ages...

hey phillip,

your mother was one of the female "hearthroubs" with a golden voice and hits, back in the day. she had the right name "swan" , because she conveyed total elegance, for sure. she CERTAINLY put many memories in people's lives with her music that we'll NEVER forget. you can't discus...

one of those golden hits again, from back in my childhood! FANTASTIC!!

if there are any other guitarist out there that like this song, here's the chords to it:

Gm- Fm the bridge is Bb and he chorus is Gm-Fm (repeat twice) end it with Cm

it's a simple song, but DEFINITELY a great one.

i use to love that commercial as a kid. "madam how do you do", use to kill me...

thanks tommy blue, for taking the time to send the information. i will certainly try it.
