His singing is so incredible and it is amazing how effortlessly he make it look

[@squarevegroundbowl]

This is why i love youtube. So many musical gems and brilliant talented artists of the past who get little or no radio-play can be enjoyed by the many of us who crave real talent and artistry. Excellent.

Who is here in 2024 🥺❤️

Before my grandpa passed away he discovered KZbin. He told me how much he loved being able to jam out to his oldies in his living room❤️ he said, “can you believe I just saw Elvis and The Beatles on my screen, those younglings”☺️

You know you’re about to see something special when Sonny boy Williamson, one of the best harmonica players ever, introduces someone.

[@BrianBoese-im8jm]

Don't bring up color..It's good music 🎶 enjoy

[@Vishangro]

You might be cool but you'll never be as cool as Sonny Boy Willliamson doing that intro.😎

[@heavyjohnrobbie]

This is downright surreal. The intro, the phantom vocal start, his playing, the camera cutting to the band, his abrupt finish, the all white audience in formal attire, the thank yous... I am baffled in the best possible way.

Lonnie Johnson is not just an incredible singer & songwriter, but watch how he plays his guitar... smooth and flawless. The mark of a true artist!

[@limeplasterer2766]

And that, ladies and gentleman, is the epitome of style, class and genuine talent.

54 years old and still blown away by how much American music is rooted in songs by poor Black folk about just trying to survive. Yet, at the same time, the songs speak to a universal human experience.

[@nelsenadelard802]

Lonnie paved the way for folks like BB King and Muddy Waters. Such a natural talent at both vocals and guitar. Makes it look so effortless.

[@lacydaniels5568]

Real music by real people. Unforgettable. Thank you Mr. Johnson and KZbin.

[@NedFATTO]

I'm impressed by the quality of the footage. Those are the wrinkles of a man who been hurt and has become wiser for it.

[@tomandaj1]

Probably the most underrepresented father of modern guitar playing ever. He played jazz in the early 30s. He played with Eddie Lang and Joe Vanute. He played with Louis Armstrong.

[@MimiLutkemeier-jq9te]

I must join the rows, appreciating the looking at a performance of this true god father of modern blues. Been listening to it for years, now there's more than the sleeve of a LP record..

[@cuetTimmonz]

a smooth cigar, a rockin chair, and some smooth lonnie music!!! 2024 blues is still one of the best sounding music, out there.

[@AdrianoPedrasPreciosas]

Isto é uma obra de arte ,que voz maravilhosa 🤙👏

[@joaopaul0500]

His face looks so peaceful while a powerful and strong voice comes from his mouth, amazing.
