Back in 1969 I was sweet sixteen. My elder sister called me and told her to meet her in the city at 6pm. She took me to see howlin wolf live in a nightclub in Birmingham England. I was beside myself with excitement.I had been playing his music since I was 14. At the club howlin stepped of the podium and sang smokestack lightning to me once two feet away.I thought I would die, itwas so fantastic.god bless you Chester and my sister.

You all in England, and Europe kept the Blues going while it was dying here in the States. I played with R.L. Burnside for years mostly as his harp player bit of guitar, and with other Bluesman in the 80s and 90s still the best gigs were in Europe... R.L. did some Wolf sonpppllllĺlĺĺlllgs who I truly loved you are very lucky....I did sit just a few feet away from Muddy Waters, and his band a couple nights in a row at a lubin Eugene, Oregon back in 79 maybe, then after Muddy's passing R.L., and I split sets a weekend with Muddys old band the Legindary Bluesl Band...being a touring musician is hard work....but there was Howling in your neighborhood how cool was thar? Well, I guess we both have some pretty fine memories.

I read a story from a Sailor who watched him play said when Wolf stood up he kept standing up up up and up he was so big of human being. He’s was man. Holds the record of longest standing ovation…. Chicago two weeks before he passed away. His mom disowned him for playing the blues, and didn’t even visit him while he was in the hospital dying. Long live the legend of the Wolf.

Wolf was a REAL interesting person. He provided his musicians with health care insurance. He often to a paternal interest in them, made sure they stayed out of trouble. He was functionally illiterate into his 40s, but then got a GED and studied business and finance. Never took advances from record companies.

This is part of a movie by the late Len Sauer that was released in 1972. He showed it only a few times and then was sued by Wolf's widow, Lillie Burnett, because he didn't clear the song rights. He couldn't show it again, and he was bitter about it. I got a copy of this in 1995 through the blues geek grapevine, and even tried to get a copy of it from Sauer, who lived in Chicago but was, alas, an aging paranoiac who refused to show it for me. A few years later, I told one of Martin Scorsese's producers about this film and they bought a few minutes of it from Sauer for Scorsese's blues movie series that came out in 2003. I'm glad they used it. When Sauer died, his nephew ended up with the whole film. As far as I know, this is only part of it. Some would-be documentarians shot another film of Wolf over three consecutive nights in a club in Chicago in 1968. The guy who bankrolled it, an amateur with no production experience, ran out of money and couldn't pay to get it out of the film lab. It was Wolf in his late prime. The cameraman on it, Leon Gast, was aghast. It was his first film and he loved the Wolf. He told me it was the biggest disappointment of his film career. He won an Academy Award for "When We Were Kings," a film about the Muhammed Ali / George Forman fight in Zaire. He had one 10-minute reel of the Wolf documentary when I called him in the early 2000s: alas, without sound. I wonder what happened to it.

I'm glad to see this put up. This clip appears to be colorized (?)... Wolf's nose is red in scenes and his overall skin tones seem a bit light. Perhaps it's something got 'off' in the print, however. I was Wolf's close friend, harp student and chosen photographer. Most of the iconic images of him as of 1968 you'll see are ones we collaborated in creating, both in San Francisco and when I went to visit him in Chicago. Wolf was progressive, in touch with the soul of humanity, expressive and charismatic, on stage and off. Wolf was an inspirational wounded healer who serves well as a profound role model in overcoming horrific childhood abuse, hardships and so many vile aspects of the Jim Crow south. ~ sgs (howlingwolfphotos)

I'd say it's not colourized but I'm mainly basing that on how the bass guitar looks. I've seen a lot of colourized stuff that happened to have sunburst finished fender instruments in them and they always look off and not like the finish would look normally. if it's colourized then at least judging by the look of the bass guitars finish, it's one of the best colorization jobs I've seen and if you ask me it looks too good and accurate to have been done after the fact. i don't know much about colorization though and maybe i just haven't seen many good jobs of it

One of my all-time favorite artists! HOWLIN' WOLF is a national fuckin' treasure! It's a damn shame that a blues legend and an originator of rock and roll music is practically unknown. It makes me wonder why. On the one hand, the WOLF is telling the truth regarding the neglect that Black people have over our icons and art forms. Meanwhile, some of these same people, want to complain about Elvis, doors, and the Rolling Stones stealing our music! Not very smart. And then, there is the exploitation of these geniuses by white corporations. There is a reason why these brothers are so gifted and talented. I just love listening to the WOLF kick some knowledge. And then there's another reason why they sing the blues. It's about love and dedication!

So I bought it (it wasn't too expensive, so I could afford out of my allowance) and took it home. When I played it wasn't at all what I expected. It was an almost frightening experience.

All's I know is that once I heard Willie Dixon play spoonful - let's just say I got me a stand up bass and now I know why he had the blues- cuz them bass so expensive!!!! Got me like 20 harmonicas n gave away extras that weren't as good as others to blues lovin friends with less than. Dixon led me to sonny boy - muddy - n wolf of course. Man I love this video and hearing him speak candidly with others grabbin a drink. (I wonder if that well I digress I wonder if that record producer or whatever he had to throw in there you know like he didn't already know that he was recorded through him and he was like he was saying it for everybody else anyways like that record producer I wonder if he knew how stupid he would sound you know 40 years later hahaha he sure sound dumb don't he!!!!)

I was born in 1971. He died when I was 4. Don't think I first knew about him until I was in my 20s. Grateful Dead cover of Smokestack Lightning is what introduced me to his music...

Would love to know what kind of guitar Hubert’s playing

@@MDLinzee Looks like a Kay K775 Jazz II to me, great tone from Hubert! He's probably most famous for playing an early Les Paul goldtop, but he played everything! Seen him with weird Italian guitars, Gibson Firebirds, you name it, always sounds the same.

Hubert has always killed me since I was the first time I heard him. Something totally different and almost surreal or ethereal about how he played. And the Wolf? Simply the greatest electric Blues ever recorded IMHO

For Real,Wolf fired him until he could learn how to play without a pick,and he aced it,Wolf brought him back

This is the first time seeing this short film. Wolf and Muddy were my favorite blues men. They are the real deal.
