      Well, the roots is the African music of the Africans brought to America from mid-16th to mid-19th century. They used to sing and play on the plantations, keeping their traditional African music alive. And in the early 20th century black musicians developed blues, rhythm and blues (R&B), jazz. But Muddy Waters were a great influence in music history.
      And they had class.

    I saw Muddy Waters do this at the first ever Blues Festival in Chicago in August of 1969. A great one day free festival. Willie Dixon, Big Mama Thornton, Koko Taylor, Junior Wells, Luther Allison, Sleepy John Estes, Little Milton and more. It was incredible. Muddy Waters ended the day with this song and had the crowd in such a frenzy, he did the song twice.

    This is the best blues performance I have ever seen. You can understand why the Stones admired him. The performers I can positively identify are:
    James Cotton (harmonica), Otis Spann (piano), and James "Pee Wee" Madison (guitar)
    That the camera only panned to Waters and Cotton is insulting to the amazing talents there. Because they didn't get closeups, I can list the members of the band in 1966, who might be performing:
    Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson (bass), and Francis Clay (drums)

      We may be 46 years young , but we sure know the difference between the blues and rnr. Without the blues there'd be no rock n roll. I meant that this is the true spirit of rock n roll, and that to me transcends all barriers. If this is so important to you, then yes ofc this is Chess Records Chicago blues, along with Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley etc.@@johnknott6539
