      Oh please. To each their own. I love techno just as much as the blues. You are not elevating one genre by putting down another. The down to earth blue has no need for snobs!

    Wow...So glad to finally get a chance to see this. My grandmother and Helen were very close. She used to tell me about the music documentary that was filmed when they were in Europe in the early '60s. I spotted my grandmother in the crowd of dancers at the end of this clip. I couldn't miss her in the black gown with the spaghetti straps...Oh they were both something else. What an incredible surprise. I love RUclips

      Lorenzo Baines , I remember when I saw this for the first time, I just cried and cried, watching a snippet of her in the prime of her life. I miss her so. She always wanted to see it and never did. This was always one of her favorite stories of her time in Europe. It was a big, big deal for her given what was going on back in the US at the time. There are other little music sketches that she participated in as well. (I found them all on DVD) My grandfather was stationed in Germany in the service and told her to just go with Helen and have fun. (Previously, a single photo was all I had documenting their experience) They both talked and reminisced about the good times they had. Something else...

      There were a couple blues/folk festivals in Europe in the '60s that used to pull together all-star blues bands (and a few recordings are floating around on RUclips)... But this lineup is probably the most impressive as far as legends of the blues. I had it on in the background when I first heard it, and when she named the band members, I about fell out of my chair.
