Is it only me who thinks Freddie is perhaps the most underrated out of the 3 kings?

@alexanderSydneyOz 5 жыл бұрын

he was certainly the least well known, but look at the competition!

@Ruffmike1 5 жыл бұрын

The youngest, so less respect. Saw him twice, once at Winterland with BB and once by himself in a nightclub, one of the best of all time. That said, I think Albert was the best of the three Kings.

I agree with you that this is by far best the cover of this song. That’s why Freddie is my all rime favorite bluesman. Pretty much every blues band covers this song, but nobody covers it as well as Freddie King! His guitar and vocals

Funny you said that, cause that’s exactly what happened to me. I heard 3 songs in a row by Freddie King and said to myself, “Damn, Ive got to learn how to play guitar.” So after being a drummer since I was a young kid, I took guitar lessons at age 30.

Freddie was technically the best guitar player of the three Kings just in terms of his dexterity and fluidity. His masterpiece "Hideaway" contains some difficult licks that the other two would have been unable to replicate. Albert King had the tone and sustain thing down. B.B. took the T-Bone Walker's pioneering guitar work to another level and graced us with numerous timeless songs. But Freddie had the flying fingers.

Back in the day, before I was regenerated, you could get into the clubs when you were 18. Three weeks after my 18th birthday, I took my girlfriend to a club to see a blues player named Freddie King. My first time seeing live music in a setting like that, I was up close, and Freddie was a large man, almost 6'5". He seemed larger than life and was so good at what he did. I was awed. After all these years, I still have the same girl and occasionally still sneak a listen to Freddie when no one is around. Eight months after I saw him, he died of ulcers and pancreatitis. He was only 42, but had been performing for 26 years by then, and the hard life caught up with him. This video is as I remember him. It must have been made not long before he died. Enjoy things while you can. But remember, fun stuff will soon be lost to dust and cobwebs. In a little while, no one will remember Freddie, or me, or that night. Instead of focusing on old, lost things, follow the One whose words are eternal: John 6:68.

He's a bluesman, not like many stations played the blues. Thanks to YT there's a lot of people hearing this music for the first time. Way back around 1975 I worked at a restaurant in the Chicago area and the guy I worked with was about 10 years older than me and always found a blues show on his old Zenith tube radio. He was the guy that told me the LED Zeppelin that I listened to was actually written by Delta bluesman. Of course you'd never know it by reading the credits on the back cover of the album but that's a whole nother story.

I read somewhere that when Freddie King was around 16 years old, he wanted to play in the blues clubs around Chicago. But first of all he was to young, and a few places told him that he sounded to much like BB King, so they were not interested. And that was how he developed his wery unique way of singing! He wanted to sound like Freddie King and no-one else. This guy kicked ass! Imagine that, being dumped because you sound like BB King. Freddie didn't take it. He is my all time blues hero! ; )
