I'm 54 years old. I've been playing harp since I was 9. I want to be Charlie Musselwhite when I grow up

I am back playing harmonica with my band after my stroke

Blues is the name of the game .Thanks to all that made this possible for us to hear .

This is the blues....a little sugar for us from one of the all-time great bluesmen, not just harp players. I thank God that Charlie did whatever he did to further his health and longevity. As you can easily see from this magnificent performance, the man just keeps rolling along, voice and playing getting better and better. So tasteful and sharp to employ that wonderful amped harp rather than the acoustic. He's been going strong since the mid-sixties.....keep tearing it up, Charlie! We love you.

Well here I am again. This is raw pure blues. Just a feeling on my mind,,,,,,, 🫂🫂

Blown away by this performance. So lucky to be able to enjoy this and with such incredible clarity. Thank you so much to whoever recorded and put this up.

This is what it sounds like when someone masters their craft. I feel like a better person after I hear this.

Charlie has grown a lot in 50+ years that I've been listening to him. I'm a huge Butterfield fan and it always seemed that back in the 60's and 70's Musselwhite was trying to catch up to Butter, but I've since changed my mind as Charlie has been performing all this time. Charlie Musselwhite is great and has certainly paid his dues while never quitting to keep the blues alive and well.

Best of best I’ve ever heard 😊👍

Simply great, heard it once years ago and it Just got stocked in my head is so beautiful

There is something about blues which is unexplainable. It's pain it's sweet pain, it's life it's a feeling. I feel sorry for who don't feel the blues.

I feel like saving this a hundred times. It's pure blues magic, and that harp - there just aren't words for what it makes you feel when you hear it. THANK YOU so much for uploading this gem. Cheers, exzeluke

Une véritable tuerie d'écouté un merveilleux blues en duo avec Charlie Musselwhite & Richard Bargel,je ne m'en lasse jamais,que du bonheur!

this exactly the type of soul blues than people who start in this have to know!! I think I'll never be able to stop to watchin' this !! thx for everthing you've done sir Musselwhites!!

Magnificent. Sublime. Simply short of words to describe Charlie Musselwhite's vocals and harp playing.

now that is the way to make music . no overblown theatrics , no xfactor type dancing , no crap about hair or makeup . Just pure heart and talent . You get drawn in cause you listen to what they play and sing . Now where is my Uncle Jack Daniels

I finally found it! DAMN. I had deleted one of my playlists that had this song in it and I couldn't remember the name. Such a deep and emotional performance! Love it!

Singular tone, phrasing and style. Charlie is a true master and living legend. Long may he play!!!

I have seen Charlie a couple times and even had a picture with him .He is such a nice man ! He has kind eyes.

Charlie I love the way you play that harp. Been listening since your first album ❤️

I keep replaying this “ it makes me cry like a baby & smile with joy same time “.

I could wake up to this every morning.

What a lot of people don't understand about the blues is that they pick you right up, you laugh as soon as you hear the lyrics and you're ready to dance to the music. good blues that is.

Charlie Musselwhite is such a legend. I first discovered his harmonica playing on a Tom Wait's album called "Mule Variations" when I was 16 years old. It was like unearthing a gem. I immediately went out and bought a harmonica.

It is the closest I have had to an 'out of this world' experience. The music in its simplicity is masterful in capturing the true emotion of blues

Still one of the best harmonica players ever.

I think this is one of his best pieces - great improvisation and tone.

It's 3rd position on an A-harp. Totally recommend this beautiful video as the best one on YT for learning 3rd position "in the field" from a grand master.

Amazing talent, a master blues harp player with soulful thick tone.

Wow! This is real blues. Charlie plays with his soul, i really felt that. Hes a master on the harp.

Charlie, I saw you last month and you sounded better than ever. In this video, you have played the third position harp as good as anyone as ever has. I mean all time, anyone, any where, dead or alive! This playing is the best of what can be done with a harmonica!

almost two million hits ! ...way to go , Memphis !

diese stimme, diese art die blues harp zu spielen, ....genial! Lautstärke hoch, augen zu und einfach schweben. das passt zur frühschicht, an einem heissen sommertag oder wenn man einfach mal den alltag kurz hinter sich lassen möchte. this voice, the way he plays the blues harp.... awesome! Volume up, close your eyes and just float. on a glad summer day or if you just want to let the times everyday behind

The blues go's on !Awesome, thanks a lot !

Quelle santé ! Souffle, voix, et quel son, mélodie...👏👏👏Messieurs 🎶💓🎶

just incredible man.

Espetacular, Gregorius! A voz do artista, que blues! Meu coração agradece. Obrigada pelo carinho e atenção! 👑💎🏆🌟👏🎸🎶💐🍷

A NATIONAL TREASURE. I saw him play at the Portland blues festal and at the windthrop blues festal, what a treat.

Awesome duo ! - Great blues feeling ! - Good sound ! - Thank you !

OHHH my I have tears rolling down my face in happiness listening to this.....

awesome... this strikes a musical nerve that nothing today can touch. Real Raw R&B (rhythm and blues)

Can’t get enough of this song!!!

Probably the finest combination of blues harp and vocals that I've ever heard!

I saw Charlie Musselwhite and John Lee Hooker at Santa Cruz University while on acid in 1974. They jammed together towards the end of the show. A concert I’ll never forget.

Charlie!, just keep it coming because it's so true!

saw CHARLIE M. when i was 17, snuck in cause i was'nt 21, well,i'm 65 now and been on that blues road ever since that night. the dye was cast,so to speak. "gonna roam that ol' highway, till the day i die. [BIG BILL BROONZY]

he came to a elementary school in my town GOLETA,CA. talked and played the BLUES for 4th graders. how cool is that!!!

Es increíble como una guitarra, una armónica y una voz grandiosa pueden hacerme sentir bien. Grande Charlie!

Key of song: Bm. Harp 'A' played in 3rd position

This song taps into my soul

Thank you so much Charlie Musselwhite you've been a big part of my life I'm 63 keep on rockin bro

I grew up listening to this man..my dad, uncles and friends would get together 3 or 4 night a week. Played a lot of blues! I listened and learned...I've been playing blues for almost 40 years. Grew up in Rolling Fork Ms, right off Highway 61...Muddy Waters's hometown. I even got to play a little with one of his still living nephews. We had a little half pint we sat on the floor between us, with the cap left off. The things we played that night? Oh Lawd'...this man is a legendary harp player and that tone is otherworldly!!!

Genius ! Gots to meet him many year ago at his gig in N. Seattle. I was dumbstruck for words (ha, ha)

What a GREAT TONE he gets from that Harmonica :)

Why do I like this Blues so much? For me it is a reason for living

blues all over!!!! anyone disliking this doesnt know how to like

HERMOSO EL BLUES, PARA RESPIRAR MIENTRAS SE VIVE.

Damn it Charlie, everytime I hear you you sound better. This performance is exceptional. I saw you sit in at the Penngrove Pub. When you left I walked outside with you. I thanked you and told you how great you are. You were humble and then in a very gentle way you explained how you had to be someplace and had better get going. One more time Charlie, thank you.

Extraordinary deep down blues.

jetzt, nach so vielen Jahrzehnten, älter, alt und viel schöner, dieses köstliche Video, herzlichen Dank den Musikern und Meyer Records und Otto Mecki, der mich damals mit der Musik von Charlie Musselwhite bekannt machte. Gruß&Blues Piotr

Wonderful performance, never heard Charlie singing with such an intensity

He just fits the harmonica, no other explanation

It's one of my favorites deep blues song.

Top Harmonica and great Blue Thanks for sharing this with us all

Charlie's masterful tribute to Little Walter (1930-1968), a revolutionary in his own right, one of the first harmonica artists to compete with guitars by cupping the mic around his horn and plugging in, eventually pushing the amps beyond their intended limitations, and becoming, according to one bio, the 'first musician of any kind to purposefully use electronic distortion.'

I met Charlie at my grandmother's house when I was little

beautiful. just so beautiful and dear. Thank you so much for posting this. Been playing harp since I was 13. My first instrument. It still sticks and resonates and I still go to that instrument . Even if it is not in my hands. If you know what I mean? Im an older gal now but ...aw man it sticks and stays it does. Im almost crying.....

Incredibly good video! Wonderful music and wonderful video. Thank you so much.

Excellent music from the masters!

Whaoo - what a sound for a KZfaq vid! Brilliant slooooow blues performance!

Born and living with the blues, intil the end. I hope the end is near.

Omaha Nebraska. Howard Street Tavern. Charlie drank an after hours tonic water with me while I had an after hours jack and coke. I stumbled down the cobblestone streets of the Old Market afterwards . The streets were headlight white with rain and I was greatly satisfied to have been able to listen the sounds of a legendary bluesman. Then share some conversation with a true gentleman. Thanks Charlie..

Mighty Musselwhite performance.(Ably accompanied by Richard). Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful! Thank you!

He's come a long way from driving a bug exterminator truck in Chicago,then listening to the great's at night,hoping to sit in with anyone.along with elvin bishop,paul Butterfield.life is great.

AMAZING! Nothing else needs to be said!

Muy bueno !!! Saludos desde Mataderos un barrio de blues de Argentina.

Fantásticos Charlie Musselwhite w con la armónica es fuera de serie y Richard Bargel, qué guitarra.

That was beautiful!

Amaziiiiiing!!!! Loved it

Seeing him is believing him...I'm a believer, at that show I had a feeling was reminded of when I saw Chet Baker (also solo at Village Vanguard mid-late seventies. Deep...is the feeling. Sweeeet guitar...

Thank you so much Charlie for all the memories are followed you and I worshipped you when I played my harmonica God bless
