Someday in the future, the brilliant blues, soul, jazz and r&b music and artists that were so casually discarded after the 60s and early 70s will be rediscovered and given the honor they deserve.
I had the privilege to meet Eddie and his lovely wife when I was still a kid, when my father brought him home after they met in a jazz club in Antwerp in the early 60’s. We met a second time at the home of a friend, who had a piano - they played all night, with only a bottle of bourbon as compensation - a true musician in heart and soul.
Great to see Buddy Guy playing this tune with its composer Eddie Boyd! Buddy was joined by Mick Jagger and others to play same tune in Whitehouse when Barak Obama was there. He must have brought so much history with him!!
Eddie Boyd performed in 1967 with our most famous Dutch Blues band "Cuby and the Blizzards". Eddie stayed a while in Grollo, a small farmervillage in the east of Holland and the hometown of Cuby. The result of their cooperation was a superb album named "Praise the Blues". Every track on this album contains the blues as it should be.
Thanks so much for posting this. This is brilliant. I really love Clapton's version, too (on 'From The Cradle'), and Ike Turner's version is something else - harrowing in the extreme, and brilliant.
Buddy covered this Eddie Boyd blues masterpiece on his 'Damn Right I've Got The Blues' album and it's played to perfection, accordingly to Buddy Guys unique interpretation
Wow!!! Nice!!! Have you ever been mistreated you know what lm talking about!!! That you do!!! Thank you!! Old fred sure been around excellent drummer indeed.Once again Thank you bluesman.
On this day in 1994 {September 24th} Eric Clapton performed "Five Long Years" on the NBC-TV program 'Saturday Night Live'... The song was track five from his 'From the Cradle' album, which was released on Sept. 13th, 1994... It was composed and originally recorded by Eddie Boyd in 1952, and on Nov. 8th, 1952 reached #1 {for 7 weeks} on Billboard's R&B Best Sellers chart... This SNL episode was its 20th season premier show... RIP Mr. Boyd {1914 - 1994} & 'Slowhand' turns 69 next March 30th...
HERE HERE FRANK! Just like Led Zeppelin, Clapton raped and pilleged the great American blues. He took it, as did The Stones, The Who and every other wanna be Limey rocker and put their lame ass Euro-trash fake off-key Mersey River stink on it. They could do as much heroin as they could, tour America as much as they could, listen to Huddy Ledbetter [Leadbelly), Lonnie Johnson and T-bone Walker as much as they could , but they will never be able to reach down and pull out the true down home jump jivin dragon-fly cornbread peach-sweat blues. Try as they might...it just ain't the same. Im not sayin that they are not good...but dont piss down my back and tell me its raining! Earl Hooker....Clarance Gatemouth Brown....Tampa Red....they are the blues. Not the Animals....or John Mayall....they are great, but lets not compare apples to crappy crapples oranges! And a pocket full of shells!
@@danielf.markham5980 thats the blues tradition. Aint no different im sure eddie borrowed too...professer longhair comes to mind Possibly pinetop perkins too
@@frankmirra8700 it was so disgusting to read a troll-hater!! The reason why BLUES is still alive is because musicians do covers. Manywould not have known about this song if it wasn't for Eric. By the way, his live performances of this number are great. You are only envious.
I'm pleased to say I have his 1968 LP 7936 South Rhodes. which is backed by the original Fleetwood Mac. I found it great to practice my guitar to, as it is all pretty straight 12-bar; no fancy improvs or long solos from the band.
I've been mistreated, and yes I knooooow what you talkin' about... This is such cool powerful blues-soul... that even someone who doesn't know a word of English can understand by listen, and also if they've never been mistreated but have human and sensitive feelings. Maaaan...1:49................
I feel like Memphis slim mustve really been influenced by this man....heard the peter green album the other day and decided to dig deeper...pretty cool Anyone know what label he was on?
It's tough to say. They're pretty much contemporaries. They were even about the same age. The most likely thing is that both of them formed their style in Memphis in the 1930s. I think we're hearing the flavor of Memphis style piano that both artists grew out of.
eric clapton introduced le to this blues man..eric clapton did hundred of blues covers he s the best guitarist for me eric clapton or should i say sir eric clapton
Eddie Boyd - Five Long Years (with Buddy Guy, Jimmy Lee Robinson, Freddy Below) (1965)
These immortal names performing together are the Blues equivalent of a B-2 Bomber
I love those earlier gigs from Mr. Buddy guy
I had never heard of Eddie until today. My cousin in Finland turned me on to him. What a talented man. I am obsessed.

Real down home blues. From the heart. Not only is he singing the blues, but you can tell he feel it from the soul.!!

I would play with the only compensation of the music itself
Perfection !! One of the great performances !!
Great blues! So many greats played with Eddie Boyd. Wow. 🎹🎶✌️
Unbelievably talented. Amazing playing and singing, Mr. Boyd. May God rest your soul, but we'll never forget your blues.

Eddie Boyd made the best blues piano music I have ever heard. His bluesy vocals fits it so nicely.
Thank you for keeping one of the greats alive. This is Real Blues Power!

Two years later Buddy Guy had a killer take of this on his "A Man and the Blues" album.
Cantar e tocar com a ALMA...so produz músicas imortais ...em qq. tempo da humanidade...🤣😅🤣😅
Is wauwwwwwwww fantastic

How many of these great musicians did this country produce? Somebody tell me!
That’s my dad Eddie Boyd he. Had a beautiful gift you with he will be missed and always loved
Too many yet not enough.
¿Cómo se llama el guitarrista?

I guess it's fair to say Ray Agee remade this as PRAY FOR ME. I like it better.
Does anybody know the drummer?
Fred Below.
from 2.00 to 2.30 the piano is very annoying
