True!

Stephen Jackendoff hey philly resident and huge Skip James fan. Grew up right outside the city and remember when I found out he was buried in my hometown... do you remember where he lived? Places like that and the Coltrane house need to honored properly. I’d like to pay my respects as well...

Joshua Zolten It’s been a while , Maybe 46th and Samson West philly but not too far

Stephen Jackendoff that’s awesome. He should have Plaque at the very least.

@Carl Snell do u live in west philly do u like the blues

@Carl Snell lots of blues in Mississippi What do you do I’m a retired chef. But I play a lot of music

Dave LaBaron - Skip James was actually an ordained minister in Baptist and Methodist churches, but the extent of his involvement in religious activities is unknown.

I think he was wise beyond his years! A timeless soul with godly wisdom!!

Or listen to his, he had a lot of trauma and darkness in his life, admitted to shooting a man in a lumber camp, was said to be quite cynical, hard bitten, the original bluesmen had different temperaments, some were traumatized, some had a modern outlook, some had anxiety disorders (Robert Johnson) or PTSD (Robert Pete Williams), I was blessed to know and learn from many of the original bluesmen.

Howling Wolf was deeply digging Skip James so fabulous that mere words are limp and useless to do this film justice.☆☆☆☆☆

That’s deep, man

It's magic.

Yes indeed

Say it again for the people in the backkkkk

That's fantastic! Is that who's on the right side of the frame in shades?

You may think you'd be intimidated with Wolf n son house n whoever else XD but Wolf is probably younger than skip yes he is by about 8 or 10 years, and son house is contemporary, he probably knows them so not too much problem, however if was me or you probably be a shock : -D

I remember that Howlin Wolf did a workshop with Buddy Guy that week- amazing musicians!

It is by many talented musicians. It's kept out of the mainstream.

That gave me chills you could see the respect !!!!!! Great Video

Can’t see Mance Lipscomb but you forgot Bukka White!

For realz

Son House there at the very end.

@@davyf.3641 Thanks! So who’s the guy next to The Wolf, with his sleeves rolled up?

@@artsguru1784 Not too sure, Mance Lipscomb maybe?

He looks unhappy, As if he came to learn some of those etherial riffs only to discover Skip uses his own turning !

H. Wokf Is the white shirt and glasses person standing in the front, I the shades I am not sure if it's Mance Lipscomb

The irony is Johnson heard Skip James and wrote "Hellhound on my Trial" in the Skip James style. At this point Skip was dying of cancer and had to re-learn guitar as well. Listen to some of the original recordings and you will hear one of the greatest ever. Give Skip James some respect!

????????????? Skip James is bad? get a clue... Its Skip freaking James!

You understand nothing... Skip James influenced a lot Robert Johnson. Johnson had a huge respect for him and wrote him a song. Make sure you know your subject before talking...

You’ve embarrassed yourself here Patrick.

Next time, keep these misinformed and ignorant thoughts to yourself, okay, Patrick? Skip James is a blues giant, just like Johnson.
