Blues Aint Nothing but a Woman - Helen Humes AND ALL STAR BAND,1962

[@mowerdoc9930]

No auto tune..no computer tecno..no crazy light show.just raw blues.. nothing to hide behind.best music ever played.

[@magesalmanac6424]

Oh please. To each their own. I love techno just as much as the blues. You are not elevating one genre by putting down another. The down to earth blue has no need for snobs!

[@taylorham9532]

@@magesalmanac6424these guys that play the root of blues have lived thru a very hard time to say the least all due to the color of their skin. techno is not created from past trauma so i think it’s safe to say you can put one above the other especially if one plays instruments using hands and the other using ai

No Lights No Speakers No Air-Conditioning No Cables,. Only Blues.

Wow...So glad to finally get a chance to see this. My grandmother and Helen were very close. She used to tell me about the music documentary that was filmed when they were in Europe in the early '60s. I spotted my grandmother in the crowd of dancers at the end of this clip. I couldn't miss her in the black gown with the spaghetti straps...Oh they were both something else. What an incredible surprise. I love KZbin

Wow! Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@magnus466]

Lorenzo Baines , I remember when I saw this for the first time, I just cried and cried, watching a snippet of her in the prime of her life. I miss her so. She always wanted to see it and never did. This was always one of her favorite stories of her time in Europe. It was a big, big deal for her given what was going on back in the US at the time. There are other little music sketches that she participated in as well. (I found them all on DVD) My grandfather was stationed in Germany in the service and told her to just go with Helen and have fun. (Previously, a single photo was all I had documenting their experience) They both talked and reminisced about the good times they had. Something else...

T-Bone Walker, Willie Dixon, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee. All-Star indeed. What a band.

Blues, don't let me down.... this music invites the soul to healing and transformative inner dimensions-- and somehow fun dimensions beyond the pain!

[@jonilotto6682]

They're the reason I love America for. Such a talented and cool bunch of musicians. Look at the expression on their faces while playing. They're realy enjoying it. Priceless.

[@LateShowBottomEnd]

This is insanely epic. When were these giants ever featured together besides this presentation? Amazing to see & hear!!

[@mwp3336]

There were a couple blues/folk festivals in Europe in the '60s that used to pull together all-star blues bands (and a few recordings are floating around on KZbin)... But this lineup is probably the most impressive as far as legends of the blues. I had it on in the background when I first heard it, and when she named the band members, I about fell out of my chair.

[@Contact_Info]

I know

[@stuartpotterton6701]

I think they couldve got at least another 4 or 5 legends on the same stage. Stella line up !

[@FenderBass4ever]

...this should be put in a time capsule and shot into space so that future generations and aliens know we once had soul.

This Gal taught me to love jazz and blues ((which I already played on piano and belted out) Helen and I worked at the same club in the 70s and the Gal put on a whopper of a live show with no ego!!! White boy singing Super Gal legend’s praises!!! I love you Helen for so many things! Thanks for opening a beautiful door for me!!! Thanks!!!

[@johnbrown9183]

Helen has such a swet voice most blues singers just holler it

[@stuart977fraser]

Just Great

[@TomParmenter]

Enormously hot band. Great to see Sonny and Brownie outside their regular act and Jump Jackson is a familiar name to liner-notes readers, just toss in Memphis Slim, Willie Dixon, T-Bone Walker, and of course the delicious Helen Humes. Memphis Slim looks so sweet when he's singing. Sudwestfunk indeed.

[@davidbisacca2735]

OMG what a line-up...!!!!

[@LendallPitts]

Not only incredible in every way, but also a very strong argument for bringing back the twist.

[@taleandclawrock2606]

Haha so genteel it starts, shaking it loose, how can you watch/listen without dancing, reminds me of the best about being human.

[@bluenote335]

What a lineup!
