Howlin Wolf was one of the only band leaders that did it right from that time period. Fair pay, insurance, paid into their SSI, and didn't allow any drugs or alcohol use when touring. According to everyone that knew him, he was fiercely loyal to his wife. Who do you know these days that all of that is true of?
I knew nothing of the blues and never even heard the name Howlin Wolf til I saw this movie, then I started listening to his songs and came across Spoonful, good lord this guy had a voice that was just unreal. I've gotten into a lot of great older blues musicians over the last year but Howlin Wolf is definitely my favorite. You can truly feel the power and emotion through his voice, it's really something special!
@@shenglongisback4688, Chief Boden from Fire house 51. Actually, I think he was promoted to Deputy District Commissioner in the show though he still resides in the house.
This scene portrays him accurately because after I re-watched a documentary about Howlin' Wolf a while back, I've learned that Wolf was verbally assertive and fiercely aggressive when it came letting people know who was in charge and not only that.. he also made sure everyone knew how to be & play in a band 🐺
What a song !! The way the blues is supposed to be delivered . With feeling .passion and conviction !!! There can never ever be anyone like The Wolf !!! Period
@@dougsfavorites2578He’s talking about traditional blues. He’s correct, this is closer to “rock-blues” than most famous blues artists from this time or prior.
Everything about this scene was perfect, the ridiculousness of how they handed off the guns, the way the white guy checks where the gun is on the table subtly like 3 times, the way the other guy says "i guarantee you he hear me", howlin wolf and his antics, just perfection!
Eamonn Walker did an excellent job portraying Howling Wolf. Then again, the whole cast was amazing. I was surprised that Beyonce was such a natural in front of the camera. She (in my opinion) nailed the part of Etta James. One of my favourite music-based films of all time. 🤟❤❗
How is this rock and roll? Lol the whole point of rock and roll is it was distinct from this kind of music in the way white country and pop mixed with Chicago Blues.
This movie is highly underrated. It's one of my favorites. These characters brought the ppl to life who they played. Howling wolf was phenomenal and so was beyonce as etta James. I still get chills every time I hear her sing etta James songs. She honored her with her voice.🎉
It's something extremely seductive about Emmon's performance in this seen. Can't quite put a finger on it, but it's my favorite seen in the movie because of it.
Its because he oozes the kind of masculinity that is not boisterous nor phony. Genuine male energy. In every sound that exits from his mouth. Verbal ice cream baby...woooooooo
I feel it too. It's that feeling of assertiveness from a man while also showing the need to be respected. This is something we don't see to often anymore from men. Thanks feminism. In this day in age this is considered toxic masculinity. Sigh 🤦
It's a great scene. Made even better by the fact that the REAL Hubert Sumlin is sitting directly next to the actor portraying him on the killing floor.
Most did not know that... Yep.. That makes it more awesome. Legend... Real Talent. I love how Muddy wasn't um "too pleased." ADRIAN was perfectly cast as LEN CHESS, no 1 else could've done it better, IMO. Muddy is so immensely jealous, insofar as Howlin Wolf singing " Smokestack Lightning." The "Big Bad Wolf." Howlin' at the moon, ever since! Love it. Cedric The Entertainer saying that. Love this part so much." Muddy, so jealous. Great acting by Eamonn, all in the scene. COLUMBUS SHORT as lil' walter, was funny in this scene. 1 of my father's top favorite song & artist .Adios.
@@bmwexxxoticredheadmamibell4009 I like Columbus as Lil'Walter. I like his realness through per scene,and cute too. just like him alot as an actor. When he laugh it's so real. sad ending in the movie for him, though, as his life in real life, i read up on while ago. Great actor as the singer Howlin'Wolf, yo're so right. Eamonn so talented in this movie.great job, for sure. Muddy is expressing all jealousy through and through! Great film.
@@bmwexxxoticredheadmamibell4009 the fact howlin' wolf was taking his girl lol her "attention away from the talented 1 Muddy,yea i mean it is clear, muddy ain't like this dude, at all." scene :1:10 lol LIL'WALTER face expression, then muddy "staring him down" to Len Chess" smirk. i like this movie, for many reasons, 1 of da' best scenes, ever done, in movies." Real talk. Howlin was really talented. my parents/grandfolks did play this 1 alot, when i was in high school(1999) i appreciate they introduced me to this great talent.
i heard about that years after, i did not know til' about mid 2015. I was happy to learn the "real" yes, Hubert was sittin 'right there, thanks Chris H.
Actual audio confirms that Howlin Wolf told Hubert to keep it right where it was. Also he threatened to turn Adrian Brody's nose into a hat, told the dude with the gun to use it if he felt 'lucky', and told the girl she was slipping down the block right in front of his eyes. Savage.
Eamonn Walker, I've followed him since his role as 'Othello' at The RSC,then his stint with Alf Garnett to 'Oz'','Lord Of War' (with Nicolas Cage)- and even had a drink with him in Dublin a few years back,a rare human being! Class personified!
the fact that no one is talking about this mans folklore is insane, got his name from a dead man that crawled out the cemetery to tune his guitar, like what?!?!? that's FIRE
If you get a chance to watch the documentary "Standing in the Shadow of Motown", this is how the music business was back then. There's a scene where the piano player is describing a poker game where everyone slaps their pistols down on the table. Hilarious, but tense!
This film got me into blues music. 23 years old and i was researching Mudy Waters, Little walter and howlin wolf. was not disappointed. love this genre of music
The guitar amplifier was meant to act up. It produces the effect we all heard today. Rough and grungy. And Hownlin' Wolf's voice is an evolution that's ahead of his time. It's emotional. It's powerful! Even while typing this, I'm listening to his music. Moanin' at Midnight.
My first experience with Howlin Wolf was an old 8 track called The Super Super Blues Band. It has Howlin Wolf, Bo Diddley, and Muddy Waters all playing together.
i know. lol funny! i love how jealous we see muddy, without any shred of doubt. i like the way howlin wolf was in the movie, compared to talented muddy. my parents, both like this guy, mom blk, my father is hispanic mexicano,both would always talk bout this artist named "muddy rivalry, HE created, wit talent of a guy real talented brotha named Howlin'Wolf."I think the movie did a great job, in this entire scene, showing how it was, to a point yep." adios.
@@soapmusik3127 you're right. and you are able to feel how jealous, hatin'azz muddy was. all got real talent but that's how it is, we know this in today's world, ya know. smdh. good acting all in the scene though. always like this artist from my parents telling me about them and grandfolks playing howlin' wolf, song, few others, but played this 1 alot. great movie. can't wait to see it on cable, before summer is out.
@Radiant Siren You're right. They took a whole lot of creative license with this movie to dramatize things that never happened. Howlin' Wolf wasn't like this.
the actor who plays Howlin' captures him so well
British actor - Eamon Walker
Noone on earth could do it better in my opinion
This actor should’ve won a Oscar 🏆 He made you feel like he was the real Howlin Wolf 🐺
Um no!
He certainly acted the role with fierce compassion, that's for sho' ! Love it.

Gave me chills.
This scene portrays him
accurately because after
I re-watched a documentary
about Howlin' Wolf a while back,
I've learned that Wolf was verbally
assertive and fiercely aggressive
when it came letting people know
who was in charge and not only that..
he also made sure everyone knew
how to be & play in a band 🐺
Definitely wouldn’t argue with someone as tall as him and with a voice as scary as his lol
He needs a movie forsure
What's the name of his documentary.
Rr4rreeeee
What a song !! The way the blues is supposed to be delivered . With feeling .passion and conviction !!! There can never ever be anyone like The Wolf !!! Period
this is more blues-rock if you ask me. Pure blues is something more like lightnin hopkins, just one man and a guitar and his sorrow

The fact Hubert Sumlin himself was part of the cast during this scene is so awesome
Until you mentioned and I checked, it was awesome to see Hubert Sumlin playing next to the actor playing him. Thank you for sharing, fun facts.
I didn’t notice that
I like he's character in HBO show. Oz.
@@williamrothschildakatheman8980 and Chicago fire
Oh nice, thanks for posting this! I had no idea. That's cool to see the real Hubert has a cameo here

Howlin Wolf was a man of dignity, pride integrity, but when he tapped into that Wild Spirit , what a performer and Trailblazer....
Incredible casting for Holwin Wolf
Lawd that’s a big fine man
@@nickiejones1329 YES, he is
You can say that again!
British actor, Eamon Walker, been in many fine British TV dramas
What's the name of this movie
This gives me goosebumps just hearing, and watching it! The actor that played "Howlin Wolf", is so spot on!!! Really awesome.👍
R.I.P to Hubert Sumlin who was sitting next to the actor playing him. This is what made this movie so awesome.
Eamonn Walker is a hell of an actor.
Howlin' Wolf's seduction and alpha personality here is electrifying, that dead eye contact, he played this VERY well
sigh, oh for a man this passionate
@@puellaenaturalioasis You'll find someone like that sweetheart, dont worry

Wow. That i did not know. Interesting

Great Movie. Loved every thing about it.
For sure.
RIP Howlin’ Wolf (June 10, 1910 - January 10, 1976), aged 65
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Say what you want about Columbus Short but he did an extraordinary job portraying Little Walter.
He completely transformed into Little Walter. There was no trace of Columbus. It's kind of scary how well he played that role
Absolute agree
He is still a low life POS.
YEP- BUT REALITY - ALL EXPLOITED FINACIALLY
Yes he did!
One of my favorite parts of this movie. He was “Howlin” for real. I haven’t seen this movie in years, it’s that time.❤
Lil Walter's character had me laughing and crying throughout movie. Love Columbus Short.
He was a trip
a trip indeed...a first class actor
That look he gave when he pulled out his pistol was like “Look at this n!&&a here!” 😂
Adrienne Brodie loves black people.He's a black white guy.😆😆😆😆
Award worthy acting 🎭
My favorite scene in the movie. Creators of rock and roll.
I loved this scene part too !!
Alan Freed named it and he named it when he heard Chuck Berry.
@@katlusty Interesting history lesson. Thank ya
How is this rock and roll? Lol the whole point of rock and roll is it was distinct from this kind of music in the way white country and pop mixed with Chicago Blues.
Elvis was there? Naaa just kidding lol
Will forever be one of the best scenes...thats how it is done!!!!
Little Walters played by Columbus short he played the Hell out of that part I've always enjoyed any part he ever played in movies ❤
"You know that Wolf, the way he stood up for his side man. Maybe he can teach you something, Mud." Be a leader. Stick up for your group.
Eamonn played the HELL out of this role!!❤😂❤
I LOVED this session. This guy played the hell out of this singer❤❤
This movie is highly underrated. It's one of my favorites. These characters brought the ppl to life who they played. Howling wolf was phenomenal and so was beyonce as etta James. I still get chills every time I hear her sing etta James songs. She honored her with her voice.🎉
The real Howlin' Wolf was a strong, generous, Black man; full of dignity, caring, and integrity!
It's something extremely seductive about Emmon's performance in this seen. Can't quite put a finger on it, but it's my favorite seen in the movie because of it.
Oh yessss
@Cyan Greene Yes, he is indeed!
Its because he oozes the kind of masculinity that is not boisterous nor phony. Genuine male energy. In every sound that exits from his mouth. Verbal ice cream baby...woooooooo

Mos Def, Eamonn Walker, Columbus Short, Jefferey Wright and Cedric The Entertainer… oh my goodness do I adore these guys~ and all in one movie 🍿

Also awesome as the villain in "Blood and Bone" with Michael Jai White.

I've always enjoyed listening to Howlin Wolf since I was a teenager.
Held that gun at him and didnt even flinch. Howlin wasnt afraid
If you get a chance to watch the documentary "Standing in the Shadow of Motown", this is how the music business was back then. There's a scene where the piano player is describing a poker game where everyone slaps their pistols down on the table. Hilarious, but tense!

This take me back to my grand-pops and all his blues records and getting drunk with my uncle drinking Crown Royal lol. RIP granddaddy
My father was of the Jim Crow generation of these types of black men. I understand why he was such a tough man.
My first experience with Howlin Wolf was an old 8 track called The Super Super Blues Band. It has Howlin Wolf, Bo Diddley, and Muddy Waters all playing together.
Ha! I had that on vinyl, bought it at a used record store in NYC back in 1979, I think
This man literally had the body movements of a Wolf he put in the mind of a wolf
That’s when the rivalry between Wolf and Waters was made😂
