where in the hell is this Talent . as a black woman I feel so cheated we never hear about these great black women who played guitars or sang beautiful songs until they die I hope Miss Barbara Lynn is living I need do more research on her.👍👍👍
As a white man, I'm kinda pissed off with the history book writers too! We should ALL know about this great stuff!! Have fun with your resarch, Tracy 😃
John Lee Hooker alone wrote most of the popular stuff in the 70s and 80s a decade or two prior and people don't know the name. Lightning Hopkins, Buddy Guy......names go on for days. The color of skin doesn't mean anything unless you want it to and most people don't want it to.
Today is 3/18/2020. I am a Black American woman & did not know there was so many Instrumental Black Females. Tonight, I also just stumbled on a video of Beverly "Guitar" Watkins. I was blown away with Ms. Guitar Watkins. Then I saw Big Mama Thornton. Most of all I sure would have LOVED to sit in a set Ms. Beverly "Guitar" Watkins was jamming. God bless our Black Female Instrumentalists.
There are MANY Black women musicians, composers and producers, and Big Bands going back to the earliest days of recorded music. They got no money and no attention. Big Mama was ripped off by Elvis. Black music was covered by white artists all the time! I wish someone would put out a collection (several volumes!) called “The Black Originals Covered by White People”. Total rip off! You might want to check out Sister Rosetta Tharp and Memphis Minnie. Some fantastic music.
@@spirosmpramis9380 Hello to you, and I hope things are going well in Greece. Keep listening to great music- especially the ones who’ve been forgotten 😍
Sister Rosetta Tharp played a mean Gibson SG . Memphis Minnie , may not be video however she sang a nd played guitar and wrote some hot blues in the thirties . Chofer
Nick J Yes! Sister Rosetta Tharpe who influenced many male musicians/ singers. She was finally inducted into the 2018Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, it was the same weekend as Beyoncé made her appearance at Coachella so it overshadowed it. So sad...style over substance.
Wrong! Shirley Brown ruined Barbara career by making an entire song about how she slept with her man! Just research "Hello Barbara, this is Shirley". She was blackballed as result
@@jimmy5391Thank you! God was good to me and watched over me. Too many close calls being a Marine in a weapons squad. Luck? Skill? God? Not sure why 58,000 died and I made it home. My nerves are shot, and enough survivor guilt for 10 people. But here it is, Christmas 2019. I am blessed to have a nice home in NH and one here in South Florida. Just gonna chill with my big cat '"Blue." She was a stray who needed immediate medical care. I saved her and she saved me. Funny how that worked out. Like I said, God watches over me.
bluelipbeaver he sure does watch over us and I think it was a mix of all. You lived a wonderful life in place for those who lost theirs. I’m sure they would all be proud of that. My great uncle was a marine Lt. Col in Korea and Vietnam, 1st Tank Battalion bronze star recipient and one of my good friends just signed up and is shipping to basic soon. I would follow your steps but I’m a diabetic, god has other plans for me.
@@jimmy5391 To show you how simple minded I am: seven years ago this month was the Sandy Hook school shootings. I was so jacked up. I was mad. i wanted to kill someone. A bad person. Just go and find one. They are easy to find here in Florida. I jumped on a plane and flew back to Boston. I put a battery in my 2010 250 cc Vespa GTV and on Saturday morning December at 5:30 A.M. I started a journey south. It was 5 degrees F. I did not stop until I reached Parris Island. I stayed there for two days and completed my trip to West Palm Beach on Christmas Day. It helped get my head right. But I still cry for those kids. It hurt me really bad.
bluelipbeaver on a Vespa!? That’s crazy! Sounds like the perfect way to calm down though. What a tragedy, I was too young I think I was 11 so I don’t have much memories of the shooting. But I always thought if one were to happen at my school I wouldn’t mind trying to stop it. If others are going down, I might as well go down with them trying to stop it. But thankfully I’ve never been in a tense situation like that, besides seeing my brother bleeding out on the kitchen floor from being stabbed when I was 9 or 10, but I had a wicked feeling he was gonna be okay. And he is still here today.
She WAS a star; she had a big hit called "You'll Lose a Good Thing". It was a great post- drive-in movie date make-out song with a sexy bad-azz sax. Even our transistor radios seemed to get turned on when that record played! I'm sure she had other hits on the R+B charts but maybe not as much on pop radio as that one, not sure.
Steven Kerry ... often wondered if She played guitar on this song. Doesn’t have the Fender Esquire tone but who knows? You’re right, that Sax puts it over the top.
@@dgrantha The Esquire's pickup is under the chrome cover (nicknamed the 'ashtray'), which most players removed. The Telecaster (2 pickups) also came with the cover.
It's unbelievable that so many here don't know or never heard of this giant. It's like the little white boy when he was asked about Aretha Franklin in "The Blues Brothers". He replied, "Yeah, she was discovered by the Blues Brothers." Barbara Lynn wrote "If You Should Lose Me" and check out her answer to Motown back in the day, "This Is The Thanks I Get", a solid smoker. My wife was employed at the same corporation as her daughter. When Ms. Lynn found out I was a big fan, for my birthday, she gifted me with a collection of all her recordings and a ticket to see her perform live! (Ms. Lynn is a left-handed guitar player who actually started out playing piano)
THAT is a great story. You're a very lucky person. I imagine she was brilliant live . Someone asked me once what my favorite tune of hers was once . I just said YES !
@@claydobbins9342 This Is The Thanks ... Is a GREAT Soul tunes . Its been covered so many times ... I think Joss Stone covered it in the mid 2000s , 2005, 6 maybe feeling too lazy to verify lol
When I discovered Motown music and the Golden Era of Soul Music this woman immediately stood out. Beautiful, left handed guitar playing like the great Jimi Hendrix, with an incredible soulful voice. I really dig it.
This. Is. AMAZING!!😲 What a talented, badass woman! I'm sitting here wishing I'd known of this lady my entire life; as a singer/songwriter/guitarist, it means everything to me to know the stories of the greats who helped birth this genre. What a gem of a random TH-cam find! Rock on forever Barbara Lynn! Respect🤘❤️
I love everything of Barbara💖....her spirit...her lovely appearance...her kind of playing, singing, her little moves...her wonderful, easy coming voice....so cool but engaged....a dream...for your ears....for your eyes...just absolutely wonderful...🤗😍🤩 Music is, in all kinds, "speaking out of her", so naturally....fantastic....🙏🏼💗🌟🎶🎵
Great eye. I didn't even check out the rest of the band because I was stuck on Lynn and Gatemouth. I live in Nashville and got to see Johnnie play around town when he was still alive. I also remember him back in the day with Bobby Bland. Of course we also know Billy Cox of Band if Gypsies fame too. It would have been cool hanging out on Jefferson Street in Nashville back in the 60's watching Jimi and Johnnie battle.
@@OriginalOldSkoolFunk I have also lived in the area for over half a century. I have known Billy Cox for 35 years. In 1986 I introduced him to Stevie Ray Vaughan and they jammed at the Opry House. You can hear the whole story here: th-cam.com/video/qhdaeZYTDZQ/w-d-xo.html
Ms. Barbara Lynn has NEVER received the recognition she deserved for her artistry. We are the influencers of ALL music. Period! The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Elvis, etc, would be nothing if they hadn't emulated the styles of these amazing artists.
notable black female guitarists: memphis minnie, sister rosetta tharpe, elizabeth cotten, barbara lynn , norma-jean wofford, aka, lady bo and etta baker.
She’s Barbara Lynn Ozen from Beaumont Texas. Her 1963 R&B Classic “You’ll Lose A Good Thing” remains to this day as one of my all-time favorite songs. Interestingly Dr. John was the piano player on the recording.
This woman could get down on that guitar, no other female r&b singer like her, I 've always felt she doesn't get the recognition she deserves, i luv Ms.BarbaraLynn
Where have all these women been hiding!!! Phenomenal talent!! Got me rocking. I'm going to search where they are today. Worth a shot!! Great video BarbarA!!
These are the giants that bring tears from your eyes, they were fantastic and many like my self have never heard of them even though I was a teenager in the 70's. I do thank God for this giant lady
Oh, gods, Gods ! I played this initial riff. From this great culture. I adore, I admire, there is no name for it ...cool!!! Why is it no longer there ?! Why are these people, these musicians in the "past"?! Why are diamonds in the past ? Where is the source of this movement ?! Sadness......
What a pleasure to watch and hear Barbara . She has a lovely voice and gets a great sound out of her guitar with a light and effortless touch. And she does it with a wonderful smile too!
I don't understand how all these people on hear never heard of the great Barbra Lynn. I am 44 yrs old and my mom played her music from her youth aka Oldies and I grew up knowing Barbara Lynn, Barbara Mason, Merry Wells, D, Ross and the supremes. Dig that music!
@@PtolemyJones That is NOT what you wrote originally! In that context, 'passed' is incorrect! You wrote,' How did it get passed me?' That is incorrect! 'Passed' is a verb. You SHOULD have written,' How did it get PAST me?' Past:noun! That's the English lesson for today!
Surprise. 🙄 I'm a professional historian... took lots of music history classes for fun while completing my degree and i just learned she existed today. We also didn't learn about Big Mama Thornton or Sister Rosetta Tharpe. How embarrassing.
I was only lightly familiar with Barbara Lynn, through mom's record collection growing up. It's wonderful to catch her performances, along with other women guitarists on TH-cam.
Ray Charles' "What'd I Say". I'm from Houston....I met BL years ago at the now-defunct Jack's Sugar Shack in Hollywood,CA.,when I was a music reviewer.
This is excellent . African American rock n roll needs to come BACK. Please kids , of all races and colors .. Put the iPads down and ask for a Drum set or a bass guitar for Xmas.
@@jimmy-zr1bt it's amazing how many kids are taking up musical instruments these dsys, look round TH-cam and see. There are young folk doing fabulous things.
She's badass.... awesome guitar player fantastic singer....and this is the first time I've ever seen or heard of her! Now I've gotta go find more of her music.
I'm seeing Caz Gerald and the other replies and thinking about what isn't Hendrixian about her. It's the bridge cover. She can't handle the bridge pieces and isn't picking at the end of her strings. You've got to be able to beat up a guitar to get all the sounds that Jimi did. She's a polite musician.
@@NottMacRuairi - Yes, and I'll add my agreement to those others who see a comparison and its because that's what people do when an animated or inanimate object reminds one of similarities to another someone or some thing. No one is talking in absolutes here.
Go Barbara Lynn go. That was a great performance by Barbara Lynn. Playing that guitar (🎸) like that fantastic. You'll Lose A Good Thing (The Beat, 1966).
where in the hell is this Talent . as a black woman I feel so cheated we never hear about these great black women who played guitars or sang beautiful songs until they die I hope Miss Barbara Lynn is living I need do more research on her.👍👍👍
Just Tracy Just like Sister Rosetta Tharpe, a music pioneer.
Didn't you know this is America they wrote a song about it.
She is still alive and if I'm not mistaken still touring at jazz/blues festivals.

Barbera Lynn brings a form of sexiness to playing the guitar that's unique.
This is my grandma yall

She was actually playing guitar.

Talented lefty that can sing like that. Never knew she existed. I feel so cheated. Why do people like this not get recognized? She's fantastic.
Because she's black. Duh.

Not even close to Hendrix.
@@TEXASFENDERBENDER Rough analogy. Just similar style. And of course no one can come close to Jimi!
I come back here from time to time just to see her play and sing again. Amazingly talented guitarist and singer.
Just got introduced to her watching "I Am The Blues"! Awesome!
... SHE´S JUST GREAT ... THE WHOLE BAND IS ... Martin, Derry, Northern Ireland ... God bless ...
She most certainly has GOT IT!!!
Gaaaah! My brains are splattered all over the walls. Once again TH-cam throws something godsent your way.
Wow. Nice find by You Tube. Nice work by the musicians!
Research TH-cam Sister Rosetta Tharpe....the Godmother of Rock and Roll🎸
So right Matt never heard of her till today YT always gives me something new.
Ikr? The awesome side of social media.
Certain songs from that era could be released today and be a hit , this is one of, we loved this song at time in south London
Blues and surf mixed together I love her!
Gifted and talented black folk. No one like them. 👏 Bravo
@Magister Ludi Agreed. And depending on whether Sharon is black or white, either defensively narrow-minded or virtue-signalling and infantile.
The people who gave this a thumbs down were upset when they found out that it was a black woman who created this awesome Groove
@trufiend138 When will they learn?
@David McDonald EMOTIONAL WHITE GUY ALERT!😭
The guitar playing was great, but when she took to the mic - WHOAH!!
She tears up the Esquire, lefty, and I’ve never heard of her? My god. Forgotten Fretmaster right here!
Wow. Such stage presence..pure talent... killer voice too... beautiful 😍 lady..with blues power...
A Fantastic Guitarist, Vocalist, Performer...
She can really sing and play guitar. What more can you want? Thank you.
She is amazing! Much admiration for her!
Why haven't I heard of her until now... !!! I've got find a way to relive 50years of my life all over again!
Your Grandma can put it Down! She's always been one of my favorite performers 💯😎👍🏽♥️
I like her cousin, Barbara Lewis’ song HELLO STRANGER.
She is awesome! Makin me smile
I got chicken skin when she started singing, what a voice!
I never knew. So glad I found her! Slay, Barbara Lynn.
She's badass.... awesome guitar player fantastic singer....and this is the first time I've ever seen or heard of her! Now I've gotta go find more of her music.
Damn, a bit more distortion and a few more years maybe there coulda been a Barbara Lynn Experience.
Caz Gerald and a few years after that, a true Band of Gypsys...
another comparison with Hendrix? Is it because she's left handed and black? She's got talent for sure but nothing like Hendrix's level.
I'm seeing Caz Gerald and the other replies and thinking about what isn't Hendrixian about her.
It's the bridge cover. She can't handle the bridge pieces and isn't picking at the end of her strings.
You've got to be able to beat up a guitar to get all the sounds that Jimi did. She's a polite musician.
@@NottMacRuairi - Yes, and I'll add my agreement to those others who see a comparison and its because that's what people do when an animated or inanimate object reminds one of similarities to another someone or some thing. No one is talking in absolutes here.
@@mija288 but the question is, *why* does it remind them. It certainly isn't her level of technical and creative ability that's for sure.
She was so talented. Legendary🎸
I remember going over to a Childrens black friend's house in South Norwalk, Connecticut listening to this 1967.
Go Barbara Lynn go. That was a great performance by Barbara Lynn. Playing that guitar (🎸) like that fantastic. You'll Lose A Good Thing (The Beat, 1966).
