Luther Johnson (Live in 1973 - France)

[@honeydavis5568]

I played guitar in his band in 1974. Then I moved to Ssn Francisco and played for Charles Brown for the next ten years.

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

I adored Charles. I met him when he played a string of dates at the Hollywood Roosevelt in 1991.

[@HMJohnsonGuitar]

Wow, Chales Brown always had great guitar players.

[@webstercat]

Charles Brown Yeah

[@larryhirst3651]

Did you play with Luther when he was playing in and around Boston?

[@honeydavis5568]

@@larryhirst3651 Yes. Until I left for San Francisco in the fall of 74.

R Van Dijk Thank you, that is very kind of you! ♥

[@billygalt9155]

In a world full of heavy metal blues garbage, it's a real pleasure to see Luther laying it down with passion and soul

[@OlllieSinger]

God, I wish I could sing like him. Pure soul🔥

[@msaintpc]

Excellent! No pedals, no effects, no pick, just pure genius up there playing!

[@rogerwilliams4742]

My thumb is so cramped!! 😾😾😿

[@awadaawada6738]

What's wrong with a pick🙄🤔

[@msaintpc]

@@awadaawada6738 Did I say anything's wrong with a pick? The answer is NO, I didn't. Which leaves me wondering why you asked the question.🙂

[@boomerang905]

I don't know what rock I've been trapped under! I should have known this man. It's the kind of blues I like ... brilliant and perfect for my ears.

[@bigtuna6463]

This is the first hearing him great player and artist thanks

[@BrinsonBarbara]

Happy Birthday daddy Mr. LUCIOUS Brinson aka Luther Georgia Boy Johnson 💜💜💜💜

[@workdirty1]

this is the 1st song i heard from him.. Im lookin for whatever i can get now

[@robertwinkelbauer3244]

Snake on his run! Forever....hear ...in the ghetto..unbelievable funky play from him

[@ramsesstafford4640]

Cool. This my first time seeing Georgia Boy Snake Johnson performing. I'm a fellow Georgia boy myself.

[@andrewgriggs7604]

Around 1969 Mr. Johnson made a couple of visits to the Colonial Tavern in Toronto. On one visit he performed with Big Mama Thornton and the Atlanta Blues Band. He always gave 100%. Those are good memories!

[@DeDeBrinsonHassell]

@andrew griggs I wish I could have been there! But I was just a toddler then 🤭 Really appreciate you sharing. I love being able to re-live my dad's foot steps! 🎸

[@michaelyyy2872]

[@hilmarwensorra1215]

In very loving memory of Mr. Lucius Brinson Johnson (1934 - 1976 R.I.P. // gone but NOT forgotten).

[@coravisser3846]

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

[@janarnaud8058]

Not much known in Europe. I saw him late in the 70's in Barcelona. It was, yeah, solid and bluesy and wonderful. I bought an l.p the next day wich I still play and enjoy.

[@PeterKertesz2013]

Awesome find!!

[@Ken-os3wg]

Hey Dede! I just discovered your father and he’s one of my new fav blues men. His style was/is so unique. Anxious to share his music with my friends. Going to learn some of his licks!!! You have a lot to be proud of!

[@DeDeBrinsonHassell]

Don't let someone's bitterness kill your spirit. Happiness is not a crime, so never feel guilty for showing it. Let your light shine today and don't worry about who it makes uncomfortable. ~ unknown But reminds me of something my Dad's brother Bennie Brinson once said! Rest in love and peace Uncle BB, miss you too. 🥰

[@robertwinkelbauer3244]

So happy I came across this. Always hoped someone would post a video of this amazing man. And now, to hear from his beautiful daughter DeDe. I saw him a twice at the Colonial Tavern on Yonge Street, Toronto in 1969 and 1970. Once he played with John Lee Hooker and the other time, Big Mama Thornton, I believe. Great times! RIP Luther!
