Awesome video thanks Edward. Millions and millions love rock and R & B music. These greats are the source of most modern pop music and deserve way more credit and fame!

Ol' Lightnin' gonna show you how it's done

Excellent work on the history of one of the greatest bluesmen to ever come along. I was just a freshman in high school when Lightnin passed away. I did not know of him tell a few years later after being inspired by the movie "Crossroads" 1986

I have Lightnin' Hopkins version of Green Onions on my playlist. The long banter before he actually plays the song is priceless.

That was good, thanks!

He could play some of the nastiest licks that would make the hair on your neck stand up. That’s what first turned me on to Lightnin. Later, I realized lyrically he was a great story teller. Near the top of my list of the greatest bluesmen of all time.

You're preaching to the converted with me and Sam Lightnin' Hopkins. Even the late John Peel (DJ) announced his death on his radio show all those years ago. Simply sublime.

Got to see him a few times at the Jewish Community Center in SW Houston in the late 60s.

Thanks for putting this up. I am a hugh Lightnin Hopkins fan. I am happy to have several CD's but no LP's they werent available when I discovered him in the late 80's. He heavily enfluenced my blues collection. Regards from Ody Slim
