Elmore James died in 1963

[LizzyDouglas]

May 24 !! Born January-27-1918.

The most influential (slide) guitarist, with a tremendous impact on many others and almost every supergroup from the sixties & beyond. Stones/Clapton/Fleetwood Mac/Johnny Winter/ Jimmy Hendrix/BB King/Jimmy Reed/JB Hutto a.m.o.

I didn't know that bees could slide the blues.

@cooltooth112 The artist were often underpaid or cheated, an its gon a be difficult to pay the heirs out, if they can even get close to provin their relationship. Yes the writers should get a credit, or a payment if some modernversion makes dough.

@gitfiddlejim Sorry folks I must correct myself, the above comments re BH LP should be under FeminaDaza 24 posting which i believe is the vesion on this LP from1962/3 just before Elmore passed.

@LizzyDouglas According to Mike Leadbitter who wrote sleeve notes for Blue Horizon LP To know a man Elmore was born 1910 in Canton Miss, The above LP was recorded in 62 or 63 shortly before he died 23rd May. Heart attack.

@Quite correct,as there was no sax on first version.

This version which I have on a double 1967 LP on Blue Horizon label was produced by Bobby Robinson, and I have neve really liked it. Not as good as most of his other tracks made earlier.False starts chat between tracks, live not good sounding recording.

Elmore born in 1910 Canton Miss. LP Title is "To know a man"

@gitfiddlejim Borrowing is different than using a song and claiming it as one you have written. I don't know how royalties worked backed then. But Led Zep is current enough that that song should show Memphis Minnie as the writer and she or her heirs should be receiveing royalties. When Led Zed borrows they "steal". It is fine and great for the old delta blues people when big groups borrow a song, but credit should be given to the real writer even if the are no longer alive.

@cooltooth112  I agree.

@gantock

To be fair no one was the greatest, but oh what a hell of a lot of talented people were around, then.

@cooltooth112

Well cooltoth we have to accept this, many of the Black artists borrowed or whatever you wanna call it from other artists. Muddys "Catfish" wasnt the first version, a fair number did it earlier.

What was good about this "borrowing" was how they put thir own unique talents to make it their own excellent version. I have no interest in Ledzeps etc. Or most of the Brit blues boomers.
