One of the most underrated, under-appreciated and under-celebrated voices in Rock-n-Roll history........Mickey Thomas.

AMEN!! I LOVED this song when I was YOUNG, and then I crushed on my high-school sweetheart. Well, low and be held. It was his favorite song as well as mine. Well, guess what? We fooled around listening to this awesome song and music. We truly FELL IN LOVE and got married. It was fate. Last night, I heard our song by Elvin Bishop. Again, tonight, and it made me think so strongly of my love, my husband in heaven. I was just awakened again with this music playing I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE by Elvin Bishop. I lost my husband my love in 1996 here it is now, 2024 and I've heard the song Twice in the past 24 hours that tells me he is my angel in heaven and he is sending me a message to remind me we fooled around and fell in love.💜💛🤍😇 now it is okay for me to move on

Elvin knew that. He was kicking it around for a year or more. He brought in Mickey as backing vocalist, when he needed another song for “Struttin’ My Stuff”, the producer suggested Fooled Around, but he could never make it work in his blues singer/guitarist style. He suggested Mickey take a stab at it, because he knew a tenor voice would work well with it. The result was pure magic.

If you are fortunate enough to call yourself a 'baby Boomer" like I was, we grew up listening to the greatest assortment of musical talent that any generation had the privilege to enjoy...and we saw them in person. The list of artist that have earned the title of 'legend' is long and incredible. From Woodstock to the Beatles to the Rolling Stones to Jackson Brown to the Eagles and so, so many more'. Our parents were often referred to as the 'Greatest Generation', well, we damn sure are the luckiest. Our playlist will never grow old or die....who are your favorites?

I had the same impression. Mickey’s performance here is pop perfection. He’s got a great voice and it’s pitch-perfect. As is his body language: he looks like a goddamn movie star. His vocal range is phenomenal, and his phrasing and improvising are so heartfelt, you know he’s not not just going through the motions. Mickey works the audience methodically toward the payoff, that fantastic guitar solo. No wonder these guys were referred to as “the best bar band in the world.”

Her sister Nancy apologized and said Ann was under the weather, lol. I was 12' away and my chair was shaking ffs!!

This takes me back to 1974 when Elvin first played me the new song he was working on. I says to him "Elvin", I says, "you got yourself a nice little tune here, but "I Fucked Around and Caught the Clap' may not be the most commercial title." He took my advice to heart and here we all are a half century later!

Notice how Micky retires to the back when finishing the song...... I assume because he was officially a backup singer in the band and to allow Elvin to formally take the applause.. even though most of the applause would have been for Micky's brilliant vocals

No, Elvin was hosting this Midnight Special show. After this song Elvin had to stay on to introduce Van Morrison. Mickey went backstage because some other guy was going to sing backup to Morrison on "Domino" (along with Reni) Elvin's band backed Morrison on "Domino". Weird, but that's what happened.

I was thinking about this. It is one of the most killer blues based vocals. I alway liked Edgar Winters “Dying to Live” from White Trash, too. Greatest in Rock? I dunno, that’s subjective you have Steven Perry what made it look easy; Greg Lake and Jon Anderson in Prog Rock. Man, too many singers in too many categories. Start naming them only to realize the ones you’re forgetting. What do you do with McCartney; Roderick David Stewart? I think Gilmour and Waters did great vocals, but there was so much to Floyd. Then you start thinking about black Yanks and… well it staggers the mind! But thanks for bringing it up!
