Jimmy Reed - Big Boss Man, Help Yourself, You Don't Have To Go... (COMPLETE ON FILM)

[@luvsavengedsevenfold]

Well, not the best quality for the latter half - but, hey, I'll take any video recording of Jimmy Reed! Such a sweet soft-spoken guy. He will be missed.

[@steveboyle184]

Considering that he sold more records than most of the other big blues artists, it's weird there is so little footage of Jimmy.

[@luvsavengedsevenfold]

@@steveboyle184 I certainly do enjoy the works of Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Little Walter - but Jimmy Reed is #1 in my book! I think not enough people appreciate how influential he was. The Rolling Stones, for one, cited Jimmy Reed as one of their major influences.

Not only is this a great moment in the history of Music, it’s also American History - Oh My God Jimmy Reed is Great!

[@pauljbroussard1690]

The best ever

[@hilmarwensorra1215]

Priceless footage - period.

Thanks for sharing!

[@MrDomin099]

You're welcome, shame there isn't more Jimmy Reed to share

[@jimtakahashi4638]

A rare video of the great JR's live performance ... definitely a keeper! Thanks for the upload.

[@MrDomin099]

No problem!

[@PazBroussard]

That's blues

[@paulchristiansen9633]

This is the first live video of Jimmy Reed I've seen on RUclips. Maybe I'm missing a bunch of videos that are out there somewhere.

[@rockinpelmet]

Same

[@juliemcclure6798]

Bobby Gentry covered his song & made it popular.

[@formansbasement2311]

Elvis, BB King, and Waylon Jennings, and the Grateful Dead all made this song way more popular

[@Ravenseyes10]

What the hell is up with the cameraman? They don't want to show his hands?

[@andrewelliott4436]

It's the editor, I'm afraid.

[@steveboyle184]

@@andrewelliott4436 And the compere is no better.

[@wallyzanger]

How can we screw a Jimmy Reed clip up? Edit it so the viewers experience vertigo

[@davidhollingsworth1723]

Wonder why they never Pat Boone to sing this.

[@luvsavengedsevenfold]

Now, RUclips, you'd better not interrupt Jimmy Reed to give us some political ad!!
