Muddy Waters is the true pioneer of the electric blues sound...

[@vespoint]

Oh yes. Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter, Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson, Leadbelly…this is the music my parents raised me on. With some Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley and Little Richard thrown in for fun.

[@othermotte]

You forgot John Lee Hooker

[@unbrokensoul35]

Also can’t forget Elmore James

[@sallybannister6224]

Feel a bit sorry for the kids today .. growing up without this

[@brookebond2390]

yes Leadbelly

[@unbrokensoul35]

Son House - Death letter blues is another great classic blues song

[@angelagoodwin5758]

"SMOKESTACK LIGHTNIN'" by HOWLIN' WOLF could be an upcoming reaction, if you want to keep the Blues vibe goin'!

[@faithcat7675]

Spoonful! ❤

[@mildredpierce4506]

Love me some Howlin’ Wolf.

[@michaelwhite1119]

Yes please!

[@mauricesantinomf]

Love Howlin Wolf

[@EvilSnipa]

Im a white boy from the suburbs but i was introduced to Muddy Waters music around 5 years old thank god!

[@PC-ub4tv]

That's how the Rolling Stones got their name from this song and this amazing artist!

[@1perfectpitch]

I think it was Muddy that said."The blues had a baby and they named it rock and roll".

[@barrycohen311]

True. It is actually a song he wrote as well with that title.

[@steverusso177]

An Icon of the blues. His name is Mckinley Morganfield

[@davidtullis2810]

Born in Mississippi took the sound to Chicago and became one of the pioneers of Chicago blues

[@kevinmorgan147]

He was Chicago blues

[@jlmain5777]

Father of the electric blues. Born and raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi on the Stovall Plantation Muddy was first recorded there in the 1940’s. Moved to Chicago during the great migration north out of the Delta and electrified the blues. His real name was McKinley Morganfield.

[@honoraryamerica5943]

Good to see the blues covered, American blues influenced everyone from Elvis to British Rock (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Cream, all refer to American Blues as the forbidden music they explored in their youth). Howlin' Wolf is the natural progression if you are looking to find more blues. "Spoonful" would be my choice for sure. Also Smokestack Lightning. The Red Rooster, Killing Floor . Originals are best of course. I don't remember if this is Muddys song or Willie Dixons (someone else?), but I only recall Muddys version if it was indeed written by someone else.

[@levil4012]

Was waiting on someone to cover the blues greats! Loving this!!

[@musiclover9361]

It was written by Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley.

[@bcleone]

Several R&R groups covered this and the Rolling Stones got their name from this song. Check out the documentary film "The Last Waltz" which is the final performance of The Band. Muddy is there; and many many others.

[@johnvolume3384]

Music's everywhere.No feelings,no energy,no meanings,no pleasure .And yes , always some no.And I watch your video.Muddy Waters .It makes me feel good.

[@biff9999]

Blues are the roots, everything else is the fruits.

[@anthonytermini3267]

I found Muddy Waters when I was 16, now am 69 years something ***

[@dougieyou]

Now that's how it's done kids...learn from the Master. Remember it all comes from the Blues and Muddy is a legend. Awesome !!!

[@stevenredmond7455]

Pure Blues, this what the Brits listened too & turned into the 60’s British invasion. You can’t beat the Blues & what Brits did with it.

[@crunchking9931]

The Beatles were good but they didn’t have that Mississippi soul when it came to the blues

[@stevenredmond7455]

@@crunchking9931 They wer’nt a blues band. All bands start in clubs & pubs & you play the music the punters want. Once you got a name, you put out your music which either tanks or as the Beatles did, took over the world. No one this side of the pond could give you Mississippi blues but it heavily influenced British music in the late 50’s & into the 60’s. Then we showed white America how good Black American music was.

[@gkiferonhs]

This is classic, straight, beer-hall-blues.

[@mildredpierce4506]

Juke joint blues

[@michaelwebster8389]

He was one of the very well known delta blues musicians, and then moved to Chicago, and was part of the creation of the Chicago blues.

[@rhwinner]

This was a response to being called 'boy' in the South. This song is iconic.

[@rolltide9547]

It was done in response to Bo Diddley's song I'm a man.

[@eddie123214]

As a mixed Hispanic I played this at my wedding 27 years later still going strong .

[@theresamcdonald1943]

oh just love this kind of music. and yes I am old

[@josephdurham6051]

Muddy Waters is the GOAT. Check out "got my mojo working", one of my favorites from him

[@jimwiater2867]

Theres a video of him playing this at the Checkerboard lounge. All the heavy hitters were on stage. There was an empty table in front. The the Rolling Stones walked in. Eventually Mick Keith and Ronnie got on stage. Mick not so great. Keith and Ronnie looked like they just died and went to heaven. All their idols were on stage

[@blinds46]

I saw Muddy Waters in the early 60's when I was a teenager. He wore a sharkskin suit and he was a big man. He was the originator of electrified blues after the 2nd. world war. The Rolling Stones chose their name to honor Muddy Waters. check out Howlin Wolf, who was from the same era. The stones idolized Muddy and the wolf.

[@davidburton2381]

YES! The late great Muddy Waters was a great talent, and this was a great performance!

[@jameswaddell3348]

I believe this is around 1966, when Muddy was doing the West Coast gigs. I noticed the great George "Harmonica" Smith in the band. He worked with Muddy off and on since the early 1950's. George was instrumental in creating a style called West Coast Jump and Swing, along with T-Bone Walker who moved from Texas to the L.A. area.

[@robk1310]

You don’t just listen to that song, you feel it.

[@alrivera1084]

She said it. Muddy is everything. Muddy was the man! Is the man! And shall always be the Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is the single most important person in American music history. Everything comes forth from Muddy Waters. Without Muddy, modern American music, pop, soul, R&B, hip hop, funk and Gangster rap would not exist. That riff is the Muddy Waters' Back Beat.

[@elsievickie]

Father of modern Chicago Blues. Style of playing been considered "raining down a Delta Beatitude. He influenced many artists. Elvis was one,after listening to Elvis's Trouble. He said " I better watch out Whiteys picking up things I'm doing....all in Love and respect.. Muddy a Legend...

[@faithcat7675]

Legend has it here in Chicago, ...he lived in Westmont with his children. The Rolling Stones were in town and as their hero, they wanted to hangout with him. He said he was too busy with one of his kids birthday parties. So the Stones went to the birthday party. Can you imagine being a kid and the Stones walk in to your party to hangout with your Dad?!

[@dukeravenshadow5532]

"The Blues Had a Baby and they name it Rock and Roll" -Muddy Waters

[@turnerdan53]

This is what the early rockers were listing to.

[@richardhallam1352]

Rhythm and blues. That's what it's called back then, not just "Blues" as many say today.

[@brigitter1469]

If you like this Guitar blues you must have a listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn sing his blues... oh my goodness... he also played with BBKing and some of the other blues players .... he will knock off your socks. I LOVE Muddy Waters.... wow so love this song!!

[@LindaEll]

I was lucky enough to see Muddy Waters perform when I was 18. Life changing! Years later this influence prompted me to put on a blues festival in my town. This music just takes you over.

[@sandrasandymanning4354]

Muddy Waters in Champagne & Reefer... A 4 20 song!😉

[@waynebrown8513]

The Rolling Stones absolutely loved Muddy Waters. You should check out the performance of Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones. I remember my aunt gave me the Muddy Waters’ album “Electric Mud” when I was 12.

[@douglasainsworth2448]

I agree Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Bobby Blues Bland. Add in Irma Thimas and Sister Rosetta Tharo and you've found the true roots of Rock, Soul, Funk, R&B, and even Country. And yeah, I'm a an old white man been listening to Delta Blues for over 45 years

[@miloudbengrigra1493]

Muddy waters is a great blues man the greatest like bb King and the list is long bless you

[@keithjames7843]

This is the REAL KING OF THE BLUES there absolutely is no one that sannng the blues like MUDDY WATERS This is the definition of the blues If you looked up BLUES MUSIC in the dictionary there would be a picture of MUDDY WATERS beside of it

[@joannevincent2035]

You can never go back now - once you've seen Muddy Waters live on stage, you've seen the holy man, and you are now among the chosen, sacred few.

[@donnabruhn6907]

This is pure blues that all the British rock groups idolized American rock groups too Rock n roll born from rythum and blues 💙😎

[@timbo7457]

This song was my introduction to the blues...thanks to John Cusack and the movie "Better off Dead". So thankful I found the blues at a young age.

[@breebarry4422]

As a Black woman I am conflicted about them being ignorant of historical Black music, but glad they discovered it. How do they not know this shit was rock roots!

[@ThreeorMore209]

They’re young. But learning. I’m 80 but didn’t really know that blues gave birth to rock and roll until I was over 30.

[@kendavis6159]

Muddy is the GOD of blues. Baddest damn blues player ever.

[@mjohnson801]

Muddy was the first to bring electric guitar to the blues scene, making him arguably, the father of rock n roll.

[@jomanlely5088]

Being a blues man im surprised you never heard this song before. its in the top 10 blues songs of all time!

[@mirojugum1339]

I've been to almost 1,900 concerts since 1974, and one of my all-time highlights was seeing the great Muddy Waters in 1979 as the opening act for Eric Clapton.

[@pipmaple]

Superb ! Try Elmore James “Dust my broom” You won’t be disappointed !

[@davidadams7578]

This is the reason we had the British invasion in the 60ds . The British invasion accused .

[@billbeliakoff5589]

Since Mel said "this is the blues, this is rock and roll" I have to suggest you give Muddy's "The Blues Had a Baby and they Named it Rock and Roll"

[@jeffreyfenko1797]

Muddy Waters was straight up blues. He influenced rock greatly, and that's his place in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. The Rolling Stones took their name from one of his songs, as well as the publication Rolling Stone. He's considered one of the originators of electric blues, and he was a cornerstone of Chess Records, which was the finest purveyor of blues music, especially in the 50's. Mentor to Eric Clapton and collaborator with Johnny Winter, his influence can't be overestimated.

[@alloccasionsgiftwrapping4767]

All of the rock bands that became so famous listened to Muddy Waters for inspiration. The black community created Rock N Roll...it's true.

[@lorrainebowen6530]

Mississippi Delta Blues!! Shaped rock and roll!

[@jonrc72]

Come right up the Mississippi to Chi-town.

[@willowb1527]

For one of my favorites him and Mr. T Bone Walker ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@gregstroud4665]

I love Muddy Waters I remember not to date myself but I wore out a 8 track track tape listening to Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf, in the 70's. LOL You two are absolutely phenomenal.

[@chezblunts]

This is blues. Rock and roll is a decendent of blues.

[@traviscrockett3640]

Heard this song in a commercial and went right out and bought his “best of” compilation. Did NOT disappoint!

[@christinalikoski4937]

Now your speaking my language since I was 10years old when I was introduced to muddy waters (1970) from my brother JIMMY bless his soul when he use to play him all the time Australia 💕 Christina

[@mildredpierce4506]

Muddy references two of his other songs in this song: Like A Rolling Stone and Hoochie Coochie Man. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoochie_Coochie_Man “Hoochie Coochie Man" (originally titled "I'm Your Hoochie Cooche Man")[b] is a blues standard written by Willie Dixon and first recorded by Muddy Waters in 1954. The song makes reference to hoodoo folk magic elements and makes novel use of a stop-time musical arrangement. It became one of Waters' most popular and identifiable songs and helped secure Dixon's role as Chess Records' chief songwriter. The term "hoochie coochie", with variations in the spelling, is used in different contexts. Appearing in the late 19th century, the hoochie coochie was a sexually provocative dance. Don Wilmeth identifies it as "a precursor of the striptease ... from the belly dance but punctuated with bumps and grinds and a combination of exposure, erotic movements, and teasing."[

[@paulkersey1007]

Muddy Waters is a mother f'n legend. In fact, the Rolling Stones named their band after they Muddy use the phrase Rolling Stone. By the way, that riff and people responding is called the CALL AND RESPONSE. It's a concept created during days of slavery passed down to work songs used in the counting farms. If African Americans today would explore this genre more, they would learn so much about their history. Blues is America and America is the Blues. But don't take it from me, I'm just an Asian guy who grew up with a lot of the older generation of African Americans and got exposed to the blues when I was a kid. Now I teach Blues guitar.

[@carollittle1059]

King of blues!!

[@josephvanchierijr.2486]

Definitely blues. Muddy Waters is a legend.

[@mitchellwaters0706]

I LOVE me some blues..61 year old former marine from south carolina

Bring me the most wonderful blues! Yes, Yes, sir ! exactly what the doctor ordered!

[@alancard67]

The great B.B. King called Muddy Waters, the farther of us all!!!!!!!

[@dennisgschmidt6167]

To the honorary American, the " WOLF " is one my favorite of all. And if it weren't for the bands that brought the music back in the form of " rock-'n'-roll " a lot of us mid-west kids may never would've been able to appreciate all of the old guys like Sun House, Robert Johnson and the list is endless ! KIDS DIG DEEP INTO THE BLUES ITS A LONG WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL !

[@eviekelpie1]

Muddy and his peers influenced so many including the rockers from the 60s. The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, on and on. One of the greatest!

[@barronwilliams7352]

All the music of today has evolved from him and others like him. The Rolling Stones guitarist, Keith Richards said there wouldn't have been a Rolling Stones if not for Muddy Waters. Blues is the foundation of American popular music.

[@lecancellieri]

Solomon Burke "Cry to Me." Love song. So smooth. 1962.

[@mr.knowitall6440]

Muddy is Da Man! 😎 He's one of the old school bluesmen that other blues players, and many rockers, have looked up to.

[@jimdunagan4180]

Love it...back in the 80's I found a cassette of Muddy, got it on CD now....this song...this song...to cool.

[@mildredpierce4506]

Muddy Waters has a song called Like A Rolling Stone. This is where The Rolling Stones got their name from. The blues gave birth to rock and roll. The Rolling Stones did some live performances with Muddy Waters.

[@ronkrupovich7152]

When I was a University student in the 70s, I wrote an article on Muddy for my music class and ended up seeing him live in Hollywood. What an unforgettable experience!

[@kevinmorgan147]

Chi-town blue's at it's finest, Chicago proud!!

[@jonnno2439]

Fantastic. The Yardbirds recorded an up-beat version of this song,called, I'm a Man(soon to be The New Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin). Catch Jimmy Page in the video. And Muddy Waters sang a Willie Dixon song called, You Need Love, which later developed into Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin.

[@maryboylan3093]

[@MrVb66]

Oh my God this before rock and roll all the big rock and roll acts used to look to muddy waters waters muddy waters came from picking cotton in Mississippi to being one of the best blues legends to ever do it blues blues blues blues!!!!!!
