A big thank you Mr Ragtime Dorian Henry for you magnificent piece of blues history and sharing with me and many others. A reason for making the internet so powerful by sharing true Blues knowledge. It's much appreciated and inspiring to my research.

Yes. Charley Patton Boweval is considerably different from Bessie Smiths as well! Oh well. Don't know how or why artist see something in a song that isn't so great(Bessie Smith's Boweval) and do something with it. Led Zeppelin did a lot more with Memphis Minnie's "Why the Levee Breaks" than Minnie did. I didn't bother checking out Memphis Minnie because her Levee Breaks is kindof weak; recently, I've found lots of good stuff from her!

@oker59 I think Cream was much more influenced by the Willie Dixon penned for Howlin' Wolf version of Spoonful, which is quite different then the Patton recording.
Charley is easily my favourite bluesman of all.

Got to meet him in Indiana in '67 and play his guitar. Thrill of a lifetime. Nice guy too
