hope you guys have a great day. heres a tune Im sure uve heard before. but this is the original.. you all know him and you all love him, give a hand to Sonny Boy Williamson! wiki says--Sonny first recorded for Bluebird Records in 1937 and his first recording, Good Morning, School Girl, became a standard.[1] He was hugely popular among black audiences throughout the southern United States as well as in the midwestern industrial cities such as Detroit and his home base in Chicago, and his name was synonymous with the blues harmonica for the next decade. Other well-known recordings of his include Sugar Mama Blues, Shake the Boogie, You Better Cut That Out, Sloppy Drunk, Early in the Morning and Stop Breaking Down and Hoodoo Hoodoo aka Hoodoo Man Blues. In 1947 Shake the Boogie made #4 on Billboards Race Records chart.[1] Williamsons style influenced a large number of blues harmonica performers, including Billy Boy Arnold, Junior Wells, Sonny Terry, Little Walter, and Snooky Pryor among many others. He was the most widely heard and influential blues harmonica player of his generation. His music was also influential on many of his non-harmonica playing contemporaries and successors, including Muddy Waters (who had played guitar with Williamson in the mid-1940s) and Jimmy Rogers (whose first recording in 1946 was as a harmonica player, performing an uncanny imitation of Williamsons style); Rogers later recorded Williamsons songs My Little Machine and Sloppy Drunk on Chess Records, and Waters recorded Good Morning Little Schoolgirl in September 1963 for his Chess Folk Singer LP and again in the 1970s when he moved to Johnny Winters Blue Sky label on CBS. youtu.be/Zj293l5w2MU
