Man...SO MUCH SOUL! It makes me want to pray! How come the stuff on the radio has no soul?
-
This man had a very viable soul!!
I think it might still be rockin' to his blues patrol!!
-
Every time I hear this song it goes right through me, touches the soul, ..incredible, I have been asking that question most of my life :-)
-
An amazing song; an amazing life
-
the real soul of a man

The photo is actually a 'still' taken from the scene where he sings this song in that brilliant film. So that's the connection. This is a photo of that scene in the film.

Willie Johnson is still waiting for an answer.
-
man, there were so many incredible blues artists during first half of the 20th century, but Blind Willie Johnson was The Greatest

i live in England and come from a different time and place,if this music touches you like it did to me many years ago then that's all that matters.im a keen guitarist and its only when you learn and play this kind of thing do you realize the depth of these poets of old,but yet still more amazing is how it resonates and is still very much relevant today...long live the BLUES...

This reminds me of the little churches my momma used to take me to. I used to wear those little Mary Jane shoes. Boy were my shoes mighty shinny.

@Fr3etd4nc3r No, we hate Nickelback and their mindless, soul-less, sellout, lame-ass, overproduced, whitebread cracker music.
And the system. Yeah. That, too.
