Albert King was my very dear friend, all of my life. He knew my mom, and my Beautiful Aunties, and my Beloved Gram, Ruth H Orr. Albert, was a big part of our extended family. I never missed an opportunity, to hang out, with him. Often as a boy, He would, stop outside of Boston mass , in Suburbia. To visit my family. Albert had known my mom Doris Orr-Tessier. Since her girlhood. He adored, my mom's Huge pans of Baked Stuffed Pork Chops. Which she made Special for Albert when he came thru East Weymouth Mass. To visit. He taught me so much. How to conduct, and carry myself, thru this life. With class, and greatest distinction. Music has been my life 60 years. All because of Albert King, and Robert Lockwood Jr. I was so very very blessed in my life I miss my wonderful mentors. God Bless The Dead.....
He came across as a lovely caring man and you would know🤗You are fortunate to have know him. He inspired so many, SRV in particular and of course our own British Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Irish Gary Moore. You are blessed indeed💙😚
My Uncle Earl upon finding out I was a fan of Albert King let me borrow the album this song is on. He also copied his personal collection CDs of Sonny Boy Williamson, Bobby "Blue" Bland,and BB King to help me expand my knowledge and appreciation of the blues. He passed away unexpectedly earlier today but my memories of him will always remain. RIP and thank you for the musical knowledge you shared with me.
He is one of the rare, if not only musician that never gets me bored or tired of his music, if I would have to choose one album to bring with me on deserted island, would be one of his records for sure... and even though I play guitar for decades I would never get tired of trying to dissect his licks, so simple, yet so magical and so difficult to mimic...
wiki says he died in 1992. i saw him on the bill with bb and booker t in sanfran in the late 60's, but there is nothing you can do about when you were born.
Albert King has grown on me so much in the last 5 years. I've gotten to a point where I can spot his music on the first note! I love Albert King. Kickin myself in the butt for not recognizing his talent while he was alive!!
If this was indeed recorded at the Fillmore in '68, I was there. We never missed Albert, or any of the other blues kings. Albert ruled that Gibson Flying V, baby.
This is some kind of awesome guitar stuff. I've always loved this song and the lyrics are really cool too..."don't throw your love on me so strong".....sets me to thinking about the kind of woman you would write that about! Can't figure why SRV gets a million hits and so many AK songs get 30,000.
John, yes, yes. I found him in the 60's on an Album called 'The Sky is Crying' when I was 17, I love him still! 💙 so did SRV☺💙 that inspired Texas Flood👌👍you can hear Albert in a lot of SRV's music.
Albert king is who most influenced my guitar playing. No matter what I play, it is kinda has the Albert king brand stamp on it. He is invasive in your soul and you can never shake it out. Whether I'm playing blues, rock, jazz or metal.... It has idiosyncrasies that I developed from becoming obsessively engrossed with Albert Kings phrasing and his long bends that are pushed until it's in the higher key and held there and punctuated at the end with his signature double hammer-on/pull-off. It's no wonder that he is such a big influence on SRV and it's obvious that SRV is this freak hybrid of Jimi Hendrix and Albert King, who are the two he shows the most influenced his playing. Albert is almost like a savant of blues guitar feel with his expression and phrasing. I'm glad that I got so much into him when I was first learning to play because now I can't ever be taught jack shit. My playing is infected with Albert and even tho I can't do many genres, other players hate that I can play that kinda blues because it's not something that can be learned it is just part of you that comes with birth. They spend decades to still sound like a hack trying to cover Albert king and can never get it right. Versus I started off playing like Albert King and could never quite get pop and R&B type chords very well. But, a wise old blues man i met and jammed with at a music shop said that Albert gave me a mojo hand, don't know how exactly but I guess I'm thankful. It's one of those things that maybe it just took absorbing it to release a talent I didn't know I had or was so rare. But, long story short, Albert directly affected me like no other person without ever meeting him and that is how power the blues are and how powerful Albert is for broadcasting it.
I think you'll find that EVERY rock guitarist at some point plays an Albert King lick and if he doesn't he has "'a hole in his soul"". David Gilmour and Robin Trower even admitted this. The one person who rated this thumbs down has NO soul.
Yes, there was a dignity that Albert displayed. Likewise I knew Robert Lockwood too, and he was a real gentleman. I think Bluesmen get a bad rap, but there were some nobility among them. Indeed, Albert was a good man and had his own style. There was no need for him to overplay, be too loud, or use excessive distortion, he got his point across.
Before I read your comment I was writing cri-teek in my head myself on the opening strains and 'slides straight up and grabs notes by the neck' came to me.
Playing that Flying V left handed- so the treble strings were on the bottom side. Heard Albert live maybe a dozen times. He ruled that stage- and the best I ever saw Hendrix play was when Albert opened for him at Hinterland, early '68. Jimi knew it was time to do business, not hump and jive. A great night.
Albert King is one of those people from whom eric clapton stole. He also tole from Freddy King. He stole "Have you ever loved a woman", note for note, and didn't even give him credit. Albert, BB and Freddy - they all had different styles. All were great. We are deeply indebted, all of us who play MUSIC, the world over, for their having lived.
You're wrong. At the time, everybody knew the song title was a tribute to Freddie King. Unlike Jimmy Page and Co, Clapton was stone cold fair with artists credit.
Sat right next to him at the bar in the Fiilmore during his break at this show. First thing I noticed before gushing that he was my hero was that huge ring on his pinky finger. I said like wow, I'm sitting next to Albert King and he said "yeah that's me son" "how y'all doin' tonight" I didn't like how I handled that encounter!

Great bluesman
Had a few words and shook his (massive) hand once....he seemed to exude warmth and feeling
My Uncle Earl upon finding out I was a fan of Albert King let me borrow the album this song is on.

i love Albert King, quess he would smile if he would know young people (i'm 29)
still love him today :)
Me Too I Were Raise On Listen To Him
I'm 60
I found him in the 60's when I was 17, I still love him now I am in my 70's, maybe you will🤞too💙
Pro tip: you can watch movies on kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Alex Layne definitely, I have been using kaldrostream for years myself =)
He is one of the rare, if not only musician that never gets me bored or tired of his music, if I would have to choose one album to bring with me on deserted island, would be one of his records for sure... and even though I play guitar for decades I would never get tired of trying to dissect his licks, so simple, yet so magical and so difficult to mimic...
What's great about Albert is that the first couple notes you can just tell he's beast..
First time hearing Albert King... DAMN... had NO idea what I been missing!
wiki says he died in 1992. i saw him on the bill with bb and booker t in sanfran in the late 60's, but there is nothing you can do about when you were born.
Nothing cooler than being cool
He sweated a lot for a cool dude, but he sure was coooooool💙
Legendary. RIP Mr. King.
I can listen to the blues all day
SAME! and I often do lol
The more I listen to Albert the more great he gets
Truly a talent that you don't see in the music of today.
that´S WHY IT IS ART WORK
Albert King has grown on me so much in the last 5 years. I've gotten to a point where I can spot his music on the first note! I love Albert King. Kickin myself in the butt for not recognizing his talent while he was alive!!
I met Albert in Osceola, Ar. I was 18 yrs old. We became good friends. Miss him so much
OMG SENSATIONAL AWESOME HEAVENLY!!!!
I wish music was still to this standard.....
I'm 22years old guy from italy, and I LISTEN ALBERT KING IN 2013ad!!!!!!!!!!
I was 17 when I first heard him in 1965, I still love him💙
Albert was in a class all his own.Often imitated, never duplicated.Long live his memory and his musicality......!!!
this is my favorite albert king song..it was released in 1961 on bobbin records and was on alberts first album.
Often imitated but never duplicated.
If this was indeed recorded at the Fillmore in '68, I was there. We never missed Albert, or any of the other blues kings. Albert ruled that Gibson Flying V, baby.
how come the new generation of blues musicians can't write songs like these????????????
I love Albert King one hell of a guitar 🎸 😍 ❤ 💙 ♥ player love his songs 🎵 ❤ ♥ 💙 💕 😍 🎵 ❤ ♥ 💙 💕 😍 🎵
true king of the blues , thank you for sharing with us
This is some kind of awesome guitar stuff. I've always loved this song and the lyrics are really cool too..."don't throw your love on me so strong".....sets me to thinking about the kind of woman you would write that about! Can't figure why SRV gets a million hits and so many AK songs get 30,000.
caljam west Me either
it's called gresham's law in economics. the cheap drive out the dear.
Albert King, soulful blues master.....what a sound.......
Truly the greatest bluesman
Oh My God..... Blues just doesn't get any more Blue than this..... and Albert say's..Come On
John, yes, yes. I found him in the 60's on an Album called 'The Sky is Crying' when I was 17, I love him still! 💙 so did SRV☺💙 that inspired Texas Flood👌👍you can hear Albert in a lot of SRV's music.
haven't heard this kind of playing from albert king. e.g. major pentatonic lick here and there.
proves he truly was worthy to be called a king.
u have to feel the blues. it,s a feeling u cant describe,
40 years listening to this song and is getting better all the time...unique and genuine Mr Albert King !!
Sensational

Wonderful comments Bryan, he had blues stamped inside his heart and it sounds like you have too. 💙
nothing too complicated about Albert's playing, yet he's the only man that can play it and sound like he does.
It's best to keep your mouth shut and not show how ignorant you are the blues is surely complicated and and how Albert King plays it is even more so
I was in a total blues mood today.:) never heard this guy before...hes great!!
What! Where have you been🤔 it started with Albert and BB IN The 50'S & 60's, now you have found him try Freddie King 💙
Reminds me of my mom's 1st cousin. They jammed this when I was a kid. I love the blues.
Thank God for Albert King 👑 #teacher #king
this is too good, can't breathe, help.........
some of the best guitar I ever heard him do....MAGIC!
he just blowa me away Blues class Professor
My Daddy Love Him Self Mr Albert king And You Both RIp
Newsflash!! B.B. ain't the King, ALBERT is, was and will forever be! Period!
TexasRebelOne personally I think all them 3 kings (bb Albert and Freddie ) were great on their own way .
You are right bb. King could not touch Albert King period
Don't forget Freddie, you have missed a treat if you haven't heard him (The 3 King's of blues)
Ain't nothing better than Blues. Well, except Psychedelics ;p
The Real Deal living the Blues in the late 60's
Thankfully..yes indeed. I saw him a few times.
Much obliged for your video.
I think you'll find that EVERY rock guitarist at some point plays an Albert King lick and if he doesn't he has "'a hole in his soul"". David Gilmour and Robin Trower even admitted this.
The one person who rated this thumbs down has NO soul.
On top of his guitar prowess, as you pointed out, his vocals were also STELLAR.
Check out his "Blues at Sunrise" recording where he introduces (and plays with) young SRV!
Yup, that's Blues Power!
Yes, there was a dignity that Albert displayed. Likewise I knew Robert Lockwood too, and he was a real gentleman. I think Bluesmen get a bad rap, but there were some nobility among them.

Fabulous ... Dont Throw Your Love On Me So Strong ...
Sensational awesome!
he left a lot of good music :)
A blues master
Yeh, that's a great session.
King of kings!!!!
What can you say? He was one of the best!!
I met Albert at a small club in the burbs and took some pics. if they turn up i'll post them. Thanks dude.
WOOOOOOOO
Hey baby! Love the blues.

Bello ascoltare Albert King in questa domenica sera !!!!

Albert King don't throw your love on me so dtrong
@RemoKinga You are most welcome. There can't ever be enough Albert King on youtube.
20 yrs to the day (Deecember 21st 1992) since he died.
Doesn't time fly?
Irreplacable.
@grosper Albert King is always great!
Oh yeah.
The "Velvet Bulldozer" was also known as The "Indianola Killer", because he was from Indianola,Mississippi..
Albert didnt bend strings. He didnt pull them neither.
The strings saw his fingers coming and obeyed his commands.
AWESOME AND HEAVY
Fender Bender my my my, and that settles it, love you man for a observation no other have expressed
Before I read your comment I was writing cri-teek in my head myself on the opening strains and 'slides straight up and grabs notes by the neck' came to me.

This song reminds me of my Father.
@Yolandaria You are welcome. I'm glad you like it.
AFTERNOON DELIGHT ANYONE 2023 Enjoy,,,,,,
...stop throwing your love around ;)
epic bends

I'm glad you like it.
melhor musica pra se relaxar, nada como ouvir um blues com o king
Sat right next to him at the bar in the Fiilmore during his break at this show. First thing I noticed before gushing that he was my hero was that huge ring on his pinky finger. I said like wow, I'm sitting next to Albert King and he said "yeah that's me son" "how y'all doin' tonight" I didn't like how I handled that encounter!
soooo bad-ass!
B.B. is the King,...but on his ass running a strong @nd place is Albert.
