His singing is so incredible and it is amazing how effortlessly he make it look
That paired with his immaculate guitar playing puts him in a league of his own.

Old music> new music is so bad.
This is why i love youtube. So many musical gems and brilliant talented artists of the past who get little or no radio-play can be enjoyed by the many of us who crave real talent and artistry. Excellent.
We're lucky to even have what we do. The depression killed record sales. If the blues revival hadn't happened and hadn't been helped by the English bands of the 60s, we wouldn't be able to enjoy performances like this at all
Very very true!
Well said.
I agree with you, Eric.
Amen
I want this man announcing me every time I enter a room
😁😁😁😁😁
I hope this man announcing you when you enter at the heaven ....

Before my grandpa passed away he discovered TH-cam. He told me how much he loved being able to jam out to his oldies in his living room❤️ he said, “can you believe I just saw Elvis and The Beatles on my screen, those younglings”☺️
That’s so sooo sweet. What a beautiful memory to have. God bless you & I hope your week goes amazing.
Aw, thanks for sharing that.
i often thought yt would have helped my Father thru healing
Yes

Another night to cry over you
You hurt me so bad and so long
And there's nothing I can do

And you know it, and I can't help myself
Yes, I'm so in love with you
And you know it, and I can't help myself
You laugh at my face when I say, I love you
And walk away with somebody else
You can't keep on hurtin' me
Unless you get hurt yourself

On the screen only? :(
And that, ladies and gentleman, is the epitome of style, class and genuine talent.
You know you’re about to see something special when Sonny boy Williamson, one of the best harmonica players ever, introduces someone.
I wouldn't have thought _you_ knew that, Mr. Churchill.
If he introduces YOU then you're not going to see something special, you're gonna do something special.
MALZZZZification Yeah the grammar didn’t make much sense but I fixed it.
how about Willie Dixon on Bass!!!!!!!
Right on Winston 😉thanks for letting me know 💜
You might be cool but you'll never be as cool as Sonny Boy Willliamson doing that intro.😎
That is so true that cat was smooth as silk..
Yeah you're right. That dude was cool as December wind........
If you even try you'll end up being half as cool as you thought you were when you started..
he is cute
Until Lonnie comes out silky smooth and steals the show.
Real music by real people. Unforgettable. Thank you Mr. Johnson and TH-cam.
Probably the most underrepresented father of modern guitar playing ever. He played jazz in the early 30s. He played with Eddie Lang and Joe Vanute. He played with Louis Armstrong.
This is my great grandfather and I’m JUST learning about him. Cool to see back in history.
@@TheJ2effectOne of the true
greats and by all accounts a
very fine gentleman
The much more often
celebrated Robert Johnson, a
more aggressive musician,
often claimed to be related to
him to impress people but
though a Delta Blues icon, the
two Lonnie imitations fall very short of the mark. The
old Blues and Jazz cats I jammed with (b.1910/1923)
told me : "Remember: you can't
beat a man at his own game!"
You must be proud to be related to such a giant. Tell
those who don't know him to
check out the man who inspired B.B. King. His early
stuff like Blues for the West
End Is sublime. 😮❤😊
@@TheJ2effect a real pleasure to MEET HIM if only if it is on THE TUBE ,,,A VERY SAD ENDING TO HIS LIFE,,,RIP
He also played with Duke Ellington in The Mooche and Hot and Bothered. 12 string guitar no less!!! Not to mention his duets with Eddie Lang. Dude was a menace
I'm impressed by the quality of the footage. Those are the wrinkles of a man who been hurt and has become wiser for it.
Lonnie paved the way for folks like BB King and Muddy Waters. Such a natural talent at both vocals and guitar. Makes it look so effortless.
I did hear a little BB King there...
That's sonny boy doing the introductions and the amazing Lonnie Johnson on guitar jeeeezzzz I'm in Heaven music History Right Here ! Thank You !!😊
I thought that was Sonny Boy. I was just listening to this incredible song and it hit me, that sounded like Sonny doing the intro!😂

he was a crook
@@bassreeves2410 damn straight, he steals my attention whenever he hits that harmonica

The man in the beginning has the coolest walk
The man in the beginning is the coolest guy I've ever seen
And the bigest hand😂
Man makes ice melt just by a simple 'hello how are ya?'....
Great. What ist the name of this man in the beginning?
Sonny Boy Williamson
This song is as smooth as silk.
What a wonderful voice.
TH-cam is the only time traveler. I love you TH-cam
Lonnie Johnson is not just an incredible singer & songwriter, but watch how he plays his guitar... smooth and flawless. The mark of a true artist!
When he was soloing; i was wondering if Jimi really listened to him and was influenced; i see some similar tricks/style...
@@wheninroamful Jimi WAS influenced by him...at least indirectly through Albert King. When I interviewed Albert I asked him who his influences were. Lonnie Johnson was the first name he mentioned.
He's a 💎
his guitar is his air
Not a wasted move
So many great things about this video for studied bluesologists.
Moon landing? Sure. But of all human achievements, without a doubt, TH-cam is the greatest, by far and away.
Lonnie Johnson was the father of virtually all modern blues, rock and jazz guitar, way of soloing, single lines and all. He recorded With Louis Armstrong in the twenties, toured with Bessie Smith and a lot of other stars, influenced Django, Charlie Christian, T-bne Walker, Robert Johnson... in his early records Elvis Presley imitated his way of singing and took a lot of his gestures, inflections, vibrato...
Respect.
First to use a pick too.I think
That might be Eddie land.. not sure
Lang
One of the songs Elvis recorded at SUN records but never released was a version of Lonnie Johnson's original "Tomorrow Night" - you could tell that Elvis heard Johnson's version when he lived in the Lauderdale Courts in Memphis as a young man.

Ahah lol not everyone can afford to be introduced by Sir Sonny Boy Williamson II :D
It's right
Tha ol’ G’s soul was hiiiiigggghhhhhhhhh
Not to be confused with uhm soul music
Gosh damn !!!! Those were the days!!!! Absolutely Beautiful!!!!
Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan... Stay Safe!
Sonny Boy is an amazing artist in his own right on harmonica, love his voice too, unique and unforgettable! God bless these amazing Blues players gone but not forgotten. Our broken world needs them to return and teach today's lost youth what real music and artistry truly is.
Good morning 🌞 Wishing you a blessed day.
This man is more talented than 99% of main streem music today.
Had surgery 3 days ago..hearing this...I KNOW IM STILL ALIVE..and so happy now toi
With Goddess speedy recovery
What a starry night, Willy Dixon, Ottis Spann, and the real one and only Sonny boy Williamson to introduce Lonnie... WOW ❤️!
Don't let me forget this music...
This is downright surreal. The intro, the phantom vocal start, his playing, the camera cutting to the band, his abrupt finish, the all white audience in formal attire, the thank yous... I am baffled in the best possible way.
If Lynch did music videos...
Doesn't he though?
Trevor Robinson you can't keep on hurting me unless you get hurt yourself--think that audience got the point?
Trevor Robinsonoo
Trevor Robinson o
Audience has no idea it's Willie Dixon on bass, Otis Spann at the piano...man!!!
Got to see Willie perform back in the 80's.
Well spotted! Love me some Otis.

Dude no kidding I had to repeat that a couple time. I like to think it was a happy accident that the engineer had the EMT 140 reverb tank cranked and quickly cut it down with perfect execution
love it too

😂I can't believe I really thought am the only one who fell in love with this opening,
Rock and roll owes its legacy to pioneers like this
I from El Salvador 🇸🇻 but I really love classic music for USA! I’m 36 years old but I really like this music
Lonnie was my first houseguest in London Ontario ( I bought a nice yellow brick home at 177 Central Av in 1966 $ 13,000 bucks) I think it was 1968 and Lonnie was the darling of the folk music set in Toronto. He was playing a very odd gig at a fleabitten old country/Western Bar. The audience was very unsure of what was happening on stage as Lonnie obviously had nothing in his repetoire to suit their tastes. The closest he could come was a number called "My Mother's Arms" (which he performed in every other set,I think. Noone there had any idea that this fellow was a living legend of the Jazz Guitar,having virtually invented it along with his friend Eddie Lang. Lonnie played with The Duke way back in '27
nice story glad you could share it thank you
mectron63 ... I agree ... I wish I could have been there for breakfast ... and hang out with a legend ...
Keith McMahon Stories like this are gold ! Thanks... you can see he is playing a really cheap Kay guitar.. which would probably shred the fingers of most of the players watching this !
Capt Larry
Kay, wow my first ever guitar was a Kay, bought it from a jumble sale for about £3 back in about 1985, I remember being surprised when I went to buy strings and they were more than I paid for the guitar :) it was an utter piece of shit, but I was so happy to have it :)
+zachary smith that is what Kay was famous for... utter POS.. but like all cheap guitars, if you work them over, and most poor players had to do it themselves... you got something you could play.. that was yours, and like nothing else. I had a string of Harmony guitars.. a cut up from silvertone or kay.. but not much... but we made those old boxes play... and damn if we didn't love 'em
When this dude announces you ... you must be a legend!
Imagine the honor to be presented by Sonny Boy Williamson
Holy shit the reverb on the vocals!!!! Way ahead of it’s time!
Glad you noticed it; quality reverb over a beautiful voice.
This is an analog verb. Either spring 'verb or possibly a plate reverb. I know the plate verbs are usually used in a recording studio...springs are portable. They can be now, I don't know about then.
Can't get around that nice analog sound.
America turned a blind eye to this heritage, took brits to awake interest in it.
That's why I like listening to Indian old is gold pop music - same reverb vocal secret
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 100% thats a spring reverb no doubt. I'm so used to that sound.
his voice sounds just as beautiful and smooth as his guitar playing. Lonnie, guitar and soul all melt together.
also the boring crowd doesnt deseve him.
Hello nice meeting you
@@SP-mf9sh absolutely❤❤😊
An amazing smooth voice and great guitar playing too = awesome!
A truly amazing artist and showman. It was so stragic he was hit by a car in my town Toronto, was badly injured and his life was cut short by it. Can hear Chuck Berry in his playing who got it from T-Bone Walker who was a disciple of Lonnie.
the host's movements and facial expressions impressed me as much as the beauty of the song. I felt like I was at the Oscar ceremony.
Mr. Sonny Boy Williamson II !
@@harryduck1 thanks bro for information
There were no smartphones, they paid fully attention and enjoy music.
This whole video looks like a scene from the best movie about blues ever made
I'm throroughly surprised at how awesome this quality is. I've never heard a live performance be better than a recorded performance. This is top tier.
sHUT UP MORON MY SCROTE HAIRS NEED PLUCKING
I hate YT at times and most of the content is ripping the world apart for clicks and a check. But when I do come on here, more than usual as I am recovering from bad hiking accident and bored lol, videos like this make me happy we have a place to data dump all these old clips.
They say Jazz is the Route of all music, so True!!❤
It's nice to be in the company of people who appreciate real music.
These classic blues players were/still are real musicians. Such a joy to hear them play music that is genuine and not garbage like way too much they plan on the air today. We need to bring an era back that respects and remembers music like this.
@@andrewlowe9969whats so sad is i see so many musicians who are still doing this music being ignored because people assume they don’t exist anymore. Even though they are right on TH-cam. Some people get very caught up on what’s playing on the air thinking that’s all there is or that somehow that music erases the appreciation for this music. Music tastes change and many people have a habit of hating newer music. I remember some of my Grandparents not liking THIS music because it was different than what they grew up with. Fortunately, you can find hundreds of genres now and pick whatever you want as someone is always playing the type of music people like from all eras of music. I met a 17 year old years ago who only liked music from the 1700s. Luckily you can find that too. It’s all out there and it’s still being played or influencing new music.
whatever focus I choose to take in life, I could only hope I have this premium of a hype nan...that intro was ART, a pedestal...a golden frame leading the ear to a masterpiece. *finger kiss* MUAH
HYPE **MAN yooooou know what I mean. be the HYPEMAN for your local purveyors of harmonious artistic decadence.

Good, but you spelled 'hurt' wrong. It is clearly spelled 'hoyt'.

Exactly.
The one thing I like about TH-cam is all the gems you might discover as you mindlessly search around. This video is a perfect example.
Tone is better than 2022 video astonishing
This is REAL Blues done the right way. REAL BLUES POWER!!! LIKE the immortal Brownie McGhee once said, BLUES IS TRUTH!!! YOU JUST HEARD SOME!!!🎸🎶💙
By now, I must have watched this video of the legendary Lonnie Johnson over 100 times, and STILL learn some new guitar licks with each viewing. Lonnie has no equal when it comes to the real, deep blues. He influenced everyone from T-Bone Walker to B.B. King in both his singing AND guitar style! There will never be another one like him...a true blues man!
Third artist today that ive never heard kf anf the onkynine worth the listen really
RUSSIAN GRAVE. YOU STILL WANT TO FIGHT WITH THE RUSSIANS, THEN DIG YOUR GRAVE IN ADVANCE BECAUSE I WILL DEFINITELY COME FOR YOU.REMEMBER, NEVER FIGHT WITH THE RUSSIANS, WE WILL NOT BE DEFEATED.
This is simple guitar playing for today's fretboard wizards. They can copy the licks easily. The only thing they can't do is play them with conviction, and that is why people still listen to Lonnie Johnson.
I know what you mean is a positive response to the music but I just wanted to reiterate that making people feel an emotion is not as easy as copying licks and running all around the fretboard. It is to choose notes which have relevance to the mood and the message you're trying to push through.
Also nowadays, if you look at pop music, it isn't as musically rich as this. There are changes, movements, a simple story, and man hear that piano in the background and the walking bassline.
For a songwriter today to make this music, well I think they would have to hear his music.
This is seamless integration of so many different elements, and also musically different stuff on the different instruments.
BINGO
This was simple guitar playing for Lonnie Johnson. He was an accomplished jazz guitarist who played with Duke Ellington Eddie Lang Louis Armstrong and King Oliver.
Remember each generation of musicians can draw upon the knowledge of previous generations.
@@MrSkeeja He was certainly ahead of his time. His sessions with the hot fives and sevens are amazing. A true prototype to modern day soloing. Would’ve loved to see Louis And Lonnie make a blues only record.

Great music, Truly kids nowadays won't understand..
How are you doing Cynthia
Fully agree - sorry for this new generation being overloaded with Rapptrash
Music can be about anything though. great stuff is still coming out today, you just have to take the effort to find it.
@@rottingpotatoes2483facts there’s so much varieties of music out there beyond the mainstream
Superb legend
Guys like Lonnie Johnson lived the blues. Nowadays musicians just play the blues.
His face looks so peaceful while a powerful and strong voice comes from his mouth, amazing.
"You hoit me" yes. You know it's gonna be excellent blues when someone hoits you.
The type of song you sit in a smoky room sippin whiskey to, thinking about your ex. Then you get up the next morning and forget all about it. Now this is the blues!
F**# em we never liked em anyway
Incredibly clean vocal performance. The tone, the diction, love the way he caressed each syllable without dwelling on them, yet totally effortless.
long before mumble rap.
60 years later and we are all still working that 1-4-5 . Awesome performance
Listen to that snare accent after he sings "I'm so in love with you" the second time. Floors me.
Legend. Another Night to Cry. Hot damn what a song. Love the way he approaches the instrument.
To who ever is watching we might never meet but I wish you all the best. Life is so short and beautiful be safe out there.
When I mean soul.....I mean soul ooh that's deep.
man i love the way Sonny Boy talks!!! :D he is fackin drippin with swag :D
it helps when ya drink moonshine at 900am,,Rice played rough and it worked him over
I love the cat too, but he's dripping all right... From hard( and I do mean HARD...) liquor and drugs.. but how can ya blame the cat, man..he lived a hard life and went through/ put up with things it we could never imagine...
@@stephaniecarr6984 yah ....slavery and segregation a life in servitude will do that to ya ! ..i myself a 53 yr old australian ..just realized that i could NOT have made the music i make today in my 20s as i had not lived enough ...the sad part is that its the kicks a musician gets that can make him more profound .
Yet , its the kicks that destroy us .
Whilst i had none of his problems ...its all relative..when i see people half as competent / kind / respectful as me getting so much more ....i try not to be bitter , but its hard to take sometimes ...till i realize, hell yeh , ..i have been abandoned as a child , physically abused (all the ways ) ripped off and suffered ...i finally realized a white boy down the end of the earth can be just as much a bluesman ...which i define as !@#$ you....keep beating me - i"m gettin up everytime ...and come back harder at you (metaphor you understand )
Nothing drips better than bad choices rung out over 40 years
today is not yesterday you my sir need to self educate
How and why would anyone give this the thumbs down, unbelievable.
Hummm. Very unbelievable.
But here is my answer:
I guess some people think that the thumb down means thumb up.
So please, consider their downs as ups.
And may music forgive them.

Holy cow, the sound is freaking killer! Dude is living proof that a sterile guitar sounds fantastic if the guy behind it knows how to play!

Nothing sterile about it. It's warm and pure, sounds like a real guitar.
Exactly! Sterile? Did you mean, clean?

Blues is simultaneously super easy and unbelievably complex, there’s no way any one person could master all of the styles of blues. Don't let that discourage you though, look up some basic tutorials, you'll get a good starting point, but it's up to you to make it your own

Hi Kathy
Yes. What a good singer songwriter I love listening to his songs. How are you Kathy ?
I like the blues and who comes from the blacks, it belongs to them.

The man played guitar like no one else
people of this age were so damn golden, in music, speech, attire and everything.
Ladies & gents, the man who all but invented the guitar solo. Got chills when he started singing.
Yes...the most unsung of all the masters.
I thought it was Charlie Christian
no Charlie Christian's Idol!!
Charlie Christian and a small handful of others created the idiom of electric guitar in jazz. Aaron "T-Bone" Walker and Lonnie Johnson helped create the electric blues side of the house. The man - Johnson - was a real pioneer who probably didn't get recognized during his lifetime as the real giant of music he was.
And Eddie Lang of course.
He makes it appear effortless with a surprise ending-->😮
Wow 🤩 thanks 🙏 just thanks 🙏 Mr LG
Thanks to this lockdown, i'm kinda discovering real music!!
Lonnie Johnson was not only a virtuoso guitar player, who could play blues, ballads, and Jazz, but he was a wonderful singer. What a great voice! Notice that the many clips from this broadcast have the great Willie Dixon playing bass with most of these performers.
I love that comment about how good a singer Lonnie Johnson was. I read a jazz book that claimed he was some king of weak singer and I couldn't disagree with that more.
WHO,S DRUMMIN ?
@@fredfinley4231 I did some research and there were two drummers listed for these blues festivals in Germany. One was Clifton James, and the other is Armand "Jump" Jackson. Pictures of either drummer do not look like the guy in the video. But his sunglasses make it hard to match him, plus he is only shown in profile.
