Sonny Boy Williamson I`m A Lonely Man

[@rosemarybasty9020]

The most influential harpist in the blues history was born on this day 107 years ago in Madison County, Tennessee, US. Remembering John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson who was born on this day back on 1914. The blues harmonica simply wouldn't be the same without this man Legacy. Little Walter, James Cotton, Junior Wells, just to named some harmonica giants, but any bluesman that play the harmonica ... they are all under this man big shadow! His Legacy can't ever die. Thank you Sonny Boy !

[@donjose6674]

This isn't John Lee Williamson, this is Rice Miller. Him being "the most influential harpist" is thanks to identity theft, and you fell for it. The original Sonny Boy was both a better player and a better man.

[@cyndik9921]

​@@donjose6674ditto!! Aleck Miller taking John's nickname and becoming a "II" seems wrong. But hey, very cool Marion Jacobs only harp player in Rock n Roll hall of fame 👍

[@bigpooter9771]

yes this isn't the original sonny boy, but you are indeed on crack if you think he isn't any better. this guy wipes the floor with the original. not discrediting the original, because he for sure is someone to be reckoned with and may have been a better person. it is foolish to say that sonny boy II is not as good as sonny boy I. perhaps if sonny boy I wasn't murdered the script may be different. @@donjose6674

[@FarmboyAB]

He fought with the harmonica too and always won. He could draw sounds out from this little instrument like we have never heard.

[@seanhennessey9869]

good point....I really dig the simple guitar line accompanying him

[@homesickclifford1966]

Antonio Bonifati wow that was well put man and deep!!😯

[@hardyjazz]

In 1929 he taught Howlin' Wolf the play the harmonica. Then in the late forties he taught Little Junior Parker.

This is what inspired the blues moaning in pain

[@angeloiodice9304]

no words can describe this man's relationship with the blues

[@MitchClement-il6iq]

Heard many stories of sonny boy... but 1 I remember best is when sonny boy met the band! They were all having a great time in Arkansas until the police showed up and ask the band what are you doing play this these black fellas? Levon tried to calm the situation by saying these are Canadians fellas and my uncle is in

[@angeloiodice9304]

@@MitchClement-il6iq Robbie Robertson tells that story very well, in graphic detail on KZbin, Bluesmobile. It’s an amazing story you will never forget if you love Sonny Boy.

[@poorhadda]

I would absolutely have loved to have seen this man live

[@severinabanks9335]

Just can't find enough of his work. Such blues and the harmonica just sings with him.

Brilliant! What brought me here was a poster of Jimi Hendrix that I have up in my room and in this poster, Hendrix is carrying a Sonny Boy Williamson album with him as he is getting off a plane. I didn't hesitate to look it up and I am very pleased with the outcome.

[@leonotthelion]

Their wouldn't be Hendrix, the doors,stones,beatles,zeppelin, who, or ANY Rock n roll band without Blues Musicians.

Awesome Sonny Boy Williamson thanks for the beautyful Blues . Greetings from Belgium. 🖐🏻🤗

[@fjcdgrunge]

Sonny Boy and all afro descendants are the best on everything, singing, making music ( jazz , blues, reggae , etc) . They are really artists.

[@joegrassel]

Without the blues there is no Country music, no R&B, no Motown, no Metal. Sonny boy showed us the way. AI says Little Walter. I know who the GOAT is.

[@luisguedes7590]

Sonny Boy Williamson with a small harmonica wrote a great blues chapter.

[@Mensa989]

Can someone please explain to us why Sonny Boy Williamson is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

[@RosieBrownie]

+Margeir Ólafsson No one can because there simply isn't a valid reason for that.

[@tallredmaple9224]

+Margeir Ólafsson Because he plays the blues, not R&R

[@JumpinJackFlash1989]

He's the blues, but he was the main influence on the biggest rock band in history; Led Zeppelin. That alone should get him in, let alone his incredible talent

[@infinitemila6120]

Well, if we're all honest here, the R&R Hall of Fame is a joke. Let's all just appreciate his impact on not only us, but also the world. He brung people together, that's how music works. It's a universal language that people seem to forget nowadays. Sonny demonstrates the TRUE meaning of what music is supposed to be. For actual musicians, they don't really care about the money.

[@renaudfasciotto9621]

+Infinite Mila What do you mean girl ?

[@deammy7093]

Sonny Boy Williamson II nunca vai ser esquecido, isso é um clássico do Blues, é triste que tenha morrido em 1965, mesmo assim fez parte do Blues como um grande bluzeiro e gaitista. O cara trabalhou com outras lendas inesquecíveis, como Robert Johnson! Outro grande violeiro. Somos todos homens solitários.

[@BlueEner]
