A truly sad day for the blues & music as the great Hubert Sumlin passes away at the age of 80. The blues has lost another legend but his music will live on. Rest in peace Little Hubert; you've earned it mate.

Hubert Sumlin: November 16th 1931 - December 4th 2011.

Clip features Robert Cray & Jimmy Vaughan.

  • The smile on Robert Cray's face at 00:24 just says it all about Hubert Sumlin & what a privilege it must have been to have played with him.

    I'm picturing him jammin' with Wolf, Muddy, Albert King, Robert Johnson & Stevie right now.

    Christmas has come early for the Lord.

  • Rest Mr. Sumlin....you will be missed

  • Truly one of my guitar Gods. Who says you don't get the blues in heaven.

  • RIP Hubert.

  • rest in peace.... mr hubert sumlin

  • So sorry to hear that Hubert Sumlin has passed away. He was one of the best. Just listen to his solo on Wolf's 300 Pounds or his playing on Down in The Bottom - just brilliant!

    I met him at a concert in London a few years ago and he gave me his plectrum (not that he used one). On the back it says: I ain't done yet!

  • I religiously listen to metal music and have only just heard of this guy. Seeing an 80 year old rock out like that, I respect the dude so much

    rip stranger

  • tnx for sharing

    we will remember him here in the netherlands.

    the don.

  • epic.

  • First heard Hubert Sumlin many years ago. The lines he was playing were so frenetic, heavy, and out there that it made the Sun Ra stuff sound like common time pedestrian sunshine. It was one of those moments where you're thinking if this DJ doesn't say who this is... Well God smiled on my ears because the man finally said "that was the great Hubert Sumlin folks" thus my introduction to a lifetime of extraordinary guitar. RIP Mr. Sumlin. My ears (and fingers) thank you for a life well lived.
