It is a pity that nobody made the story of his life while he was still alive. Time for THAT John Lee Hooker documentary.

John Lee Hooker, King of the boogie, love his blues, hard to believe that this was 45 years ago, damn, I’m getting old, I was only 12 years old in 1976!, just turned 57!,

Love the baritone-bass voice. You can hear the raw power when he speaks. Love the blues and JLH.

And then you listen to his "That's My Story" album and his voice is so light. It's deep, but light and agile. It's SO affecting. His vibrato is really something, too. It makes me wonder if Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip was a fan.

Love that Thorogood is interviewing JLH here. I’m sure the admiration was appreciated by JLH- George is a through and through blues devotee. It’s nice to see how they relate to one another here. Very sweet.

John Lee misspoke: My dad was John Lee's manager in Detroit from '67 until my dad died in '71. After my dad died, John Lee moved to SF in '72, so in '76 when this was filmed he'd been in SF for 4 years, not 14yrs. Before he died, my dad was able to get John Lee paid all of his back royalties on Boom Boom Boom, and that's what gave him the money to open the Boom Boom Room in San Francisco.

Thanks for the info. He mentioned in another documentary how he quit recording cause he always got ripped off and was making most of his money playing live. He deserves a statue for his amazing blues style

One of the many things I love about JLH was his way of speaking. Plenty of the old delta Blues guys used to mumble and grumble in a way that was very hard to understand. John Lee Hooker spoke so well he could read the evening news!

We were watching an old video of a Top of the Pops episode on cable one night. Top of the Pops was British TV show that ran for years. In this particular episode there were many of the British Beat bands on the bill . . and who should be right in the middle of all this, but John Lee Hooker playing Boom Boom!! His song fitted seamlessly into the mix and the white kids in the studio audience were dancing their guts out to his music.

he left out Canned Heat," they did a few albums together hooker n Heat" my first live show I ever seen,5 In 1971, I was 16 years old at the Ash Grove in Hollywood, a good friend turned me on to them, put me on the path of the boogie!" I've probably seen John more times than any other band, they mentioned a few, the J.geils Band serve you right to suffer, Savoy Brown, they are tt GHG FD D Federer Boogie, then of course Lonesome George Thorogood and the Delaware destroyers on that Blue Highway"Foghat I just wanna make love to you, Humble Pie I Don't Need No Doctor, send another one of my favorites Johnny Winter" Help me, it's my own fault, mean Town Blues, John Mayall, John Lee Boogie, Buddy Guy, Joe Bonamassa, and of course ZZ Top LaGrange
