  • eddy was like no other in his time and ours,his showmanship remains unmatched,and his antics,have been copyied by j.hendrix albert collins t.bone walker,and to many to mention..said to be the most preformin man in new orleans..walking down the bar out the door into a car zipped away,,all while soloing and the band played on til the cord ripped from the lg.pa. he used

  • This song caused outrage when it was released in 1952 cos it was definitely more gospel than blues - that's using the Lord's music to do the devil's work! In October 1953 Slim recorded in New Orleans for Speciality Records & brought in Ray Charles for the session. Ray did the arrangement for Slim's biggest hit 'The Things I Used To Do'. Ray was very impressed with Slim's blues, gospel style & in 1954 recorded his first overtly, gospel based single 'I've Got A Woman'.

    The Rest is History.

  • Actually, Ray Charles originally released this on Atlantic around October 1953.

  • can't stop listening to this

  • wow Ray can really emulate.

  • what a great feeling
