Asia & BJ, you’ll love his "Hoochie Coochie Man", "Got My Mojo Working" and "Baby, Please Don't Go"!!! Now you know where the Rolling Stones got their name from !!! In these lyrics.
Also "You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had". Perfect tempo. The video filmed in Manchester, England. At a train station "set'.
This is the real deal. You can see him sing this one in the film The Last Waltz. I was lucky to see him perform at my college in 1972. Life changing. 20 years later, I became the producer of a blues festival in my town. I can draw a straight line back to seeing him, John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, Big Mama Thorton and many others at the same two day festival back in 1972.
Wow! Awesome. 👍
I saw Hooker come on with the Stones in concert back in the day. I second watching Muddy do this with the Band in the Last Waltz.
Wille dixon came up with that riff to help muddy waters get a sound that no other blues artist at the time had.. If youve ever seen "Cadillac Records" it shows how they came up with that riff.
Makes for good TV, but unless you meant to write “Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters,” it ain’t true. 😊
The fact the Rolling Stones took their name from this song tells you about their roots in music, and attitude toward women. A number of English groups got turned onto blues in their formative years in the 195o's. And it was American blues music which formed their tastes. And when they came to the states they made the blues popular again. Many of the artists in the first and second wave of the British Invasion carry that banner proudly. In the country, Motown responded in its own way, which is why the 6o's music scene was so diverse, popular, and critical to the changing attitudes that followed. That music and time still have value today. Just look at how many people react to it on You Tube and wish themselves alive during the time it was birthed. Having my childhood during that time was magical. It was fun. There was turmoil to be sure. But it was a real world you could live in and express your identity in creative ways which are attacked and not as valued today. Fight for that right. It is your voice and should never be suppressed. Unless you don't care. And then neither will anyone else.
Nect up, Johnny "GUITAR "Watson. His songs are good and entertaining.
AIN'T THAT A BITCH,
SUPERMAN LOVER,
I WANT TO TA-TA YOU, BABY,
NOTHING LEFT TO BE DESIRED. Enjoy.
The Stones actually took their name from Muddy's song "Rollin' Stone".
@@billyrose76 Actually you are right. I knew that and got ahead of myself.
rolling stone
: a person who changes his habitation, business, or pursuits with great frequency : one who leads a wandering or unsettled life

@@kevincaulder20 no worries, I didn't mean to criticize, just wanted them to have correct info.
@@billyrose76 Thank you, Billy.
It was written by Willie Dixon and Muddy recorded it in 1955. It was the beginnings of Electric Blues that inspired so many Rock & Rollers in the 60s and 70s.
Muddy Waters has another great song called "the blues had a baby (and they named it rock and roll). Studio version is fire!
McKinley Morganfield, aka Muddy Waters, a great blues player must be listened to and never fogotten.
Always loved this song. One of the most famous blues songs of all time.
This song is a response to Bo Diddleys I'm A Man. That riff and attitude along with Kingsmans Louie Louie and Link Wray created the foundations of heavy rock.
The British Invasion was, basically,
young British rock bands who had discovered the black Blues music coming out of the Mississippi Delta region, covering those songs in electric rock form. Which is why you're hearing so much blues in rock, Asia. We (young Americans from that time) had no idea that the music had originated here. We thought we were hearing something original that was made in England. A huge portion of the Rolling Stones first songs were Southern blues from artists like Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, Howli' Wolf.
The white radio stations had never given air-time to Delta bluesmen.
We thought I'M A MAN by The Yardbirds in 1964 was a British song. But we were hearing songs penned by black American musicians.
And stranger still, black communities in the 60's had no real use for this music, staying instead with soul and doo wop and then funk.
Which is why all these songs you are so graciously exploring are new ground to you.
In the late 60's, a young black musician named Jimi Hendrix put R&R on it's ear and lit it's hair on fire.
He's still one of rock's greatest icons, yet most blacks have no real familiarity with his music. Black radio stations did not play his music.
'You ask me, it's mixed up, crazy world. I'm just glad, Asia and B.J., that we're here now, listening to music together -
Peace
Muddy Waters blues has such an impact on so many legendary rock performers, his influence is undeniable. His performance of Mannish Boy with The Band in "The Last Waltz" electrifies the audience.
This is it. This is blues. This is the riff you think of. Muddy is the literal earth of rock and roll.
My all time favorite by Muddy Waters!!
Apparently the story goes Muddy moved from the South, where he was always called 'boy', to Chicago, and this was his way of saying 'not any more'.
Muddy Waters, real name McKinley Morganfield, was one of the founders of Blues based Rock music. There are many good versions of this song by Muddy, from the 50' to the 80's., but one of my favorites is his appearance on "The Last Waltz", The Band's final concert on film. Muddy is getting older here, but he still has the passion and killer delivery, worth a look and listen.
My favorite version is the one off the album Hard Again with Johnny Winter producing and adding vocal yells in the background.
@@dannymoore6886 Yup.. I own that one.
@@bobschenkel7921 I got to see him live 3 times. Once the Allman Bros band opened for him.
Muddy Waters is the real deal. There is a reason he is at the top of the list of inspirations in early iconic British rock bands like The Rolling Stone, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Animals, John Mayall's Bluesbrakers, etc.
This may not be the first blues song, it may not be the best, but if you wanted to introduce an alien species to what the blues were, you'd play them this song.
Muddy was the real deal, pure blues oozed from his pours! Check him out jamming with the Rolling Stones sometimes, goosebumps type stuff, part of the roots of Rock. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
This is the real king of the blues and when muddy added Jonny Winter to the band This is my all time favorite blues band He wrote a song called The Blues Had A Baby And They Named The Baby Rockin Roll This man is the definition of the blues
There's a great live video of Muddy doing this with Mick Jagger and the rest of the Stones in the audience, and they join in.
That is a great clip! Going the other direction, as the band on stage the Stones have had so many bluesmen feature for a song or two. I’ve been lucky to have seen a couple live and many others on YT.
@@tonydelapa1911 Me too!
This kind of music is the birth of rock and roll...The early rock musicians worshipped this music and adapted it to their music... African Americans had a large input in all of what is considered American music including rock and roll, country and of course blues and jazz...Loved this reaction and I love you guys!!!
It's true, though the beginning of blues goes back very far, every generation influenced by the music before them and blues is no exception. It has its beginning during the civil war, in the deep south from bluegrass, country, church/gospel music call and response, even little "juke clubs" I believe they called them.
Even the term "blues" was just a term referring to "the devils sadness". All the early stuff reflected this until Robert Johnson expanded it beyond just "sad music," though still acoustic, he was an entire genre on his own.
It evolved greatly with the advent of the electric guitar, then Elvis, Little RIchard, Chuck Berry etc started to amp it up with energy and more upbeat style so it was no longer blues, you could dance to it. The flood of musicians followed once music labels saw big money in it. Capitalism meets creativity.
Same rift in George thorogood's song - Bad to the Bone. 👍🔥 Muddy is the pioneer legend - dive on in 🥳
As much as I love that song, I never noticed it was the same rift as mannish boy.
You really had to live in those times to fully understand what was going on. This is a real Juke Joint song. I've been in places down South where on Friday and Saturday nights they danced in these places and the floor was sand. It was something. We called it Back in the Alley music.
Saw Muddy in 79 or 80 in small college auditorium. Front row at the stage. Later found out my cousin went back stage and had shots with him and the group. He was with harmonica player ___ Cotton. Forget first name or maybe Cotton was his first name
You'd be right. That would be the legendary James Cotton. Played harmonica with Muddy as well the great Howlin' Wolf and Otis Spann amongst others. Lucky you. 😎😁
The blues are the roots of jazz. That's a standard riff of the blues, you have just cracked the door open the door all the way and enjoy whats there.
You really MUST listen to the version he did with Johnny Winter...one of the baddest ass song ever
From 1977. Johnny Winters may be the best hype man ever on that track. It totally makes it. I'd argue that it's the best version of the song.
Yes! The “Hard Again”,album!
That version is loud, raucous, and a bit sloppy. In other words, it's perfect!
I suspect ya'll will never see this, but for me the whole point of music is that nobody got control of a riff, it just keeps on going on. Sure someone originated it, but once it comes alive, then everyone can use it and make it their own. Damn but I love music and it's history. Peace 💚
Bad to the Bone is by American blues rock band George Thorogood and the Destroyers, released in 1982 and and it adapts the hook and lyrics of Mannish Boy (1955)
"M-A (chile)-N".......I'm a MAN! In the 1970's the late, great Johnny Winter ( R.I.P. ) found out Muddy couldn't get a gig....he produced an album with himself on guitar and background "shoutin'" to promote Muddy's comeback
This song was released in 1955, two years before I was born! I would have to say this is the quintessential blues song, and it probably was the originator of this type of riff. I'm sure there have been many who have sampled from this song! Loved this! Thank you! 💙✌
Hey Asia, I know you're a musician and so am I so from that point of view, that riff is basically just a well-established platform to do other things. I think a lot of the point of this song was about the attitude and emotion and character of the experience. The feeling of it. When you're that good, you can say a whole lot with a little. But think of it like this, the 12 or the 16 Bar turnaround is prevalent in so many kinds of music all the way through today. And maybe not quite as much today, but that I-IV-V progression (E-A-B) for example, is so common it is mostly seen as just a common structure to use to do something else with. Just like playing a riff in one key for the whole song and old blues.
I saw him with Johnny Winters on guitar and James Cotton on harmonica. Listen to the Hard Again album.
I read a great article online about the relationship between the blues and the hoodoo folk religion. So many references in the songs to "mojo", "mojo hand", and "nation sack", as well as the popular "crossroads" legends.
That was Muddy Waters riff of his own, just like John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom Boom" riff was used by many others.
Willie Dixon actually came up with it and taught it to him.
@@jasonremy1627 That could very well be, and Muddy had the hit with it, and it became his.
Chess Records label mate Bo Diddley recorded a song similar to this one, entitled "I'm A Man", with the song's own unique lyrics.
One of the best blues songs ever
Do watch (even if only for yourselves) Muddy doing this song in The Band's "The Last Waltz"! And you might stay a few more minutes for brilliant Eric Clapton afterwards...
The WHOLE MOVIE is CLASSIC and MINDBLOWING. :)
@@axandio Quite, I would have trouble choosing a particular guest or song for them to watch but since Muddy is so mindblowing there I thought why not?
What are my favorite old-school blues songs. It makes me think of that movie “better off dead”, With John Cusack. What a classic great blues riff. It’s been used 1 million times since
I think of Muddy Waters as the "Father of Rock and Roll." When he shouts, "I'm a man!" in this song, I interpret it to mean that he is both bragging about his popularity and prowess with women, and protesting how some white people in the old days called every black man a boy.
I studied blues like a nerd for 20 plus years and while their are many different live versions, rare recordings, duets etc...imo, out of his chess record recordings, "You can't lose what you never had" is probably the best, most fun, rolling willie dixon base piece of music he did...just real Chicago style blues..I think you guys would enjoy it if you to it
Willie Dixon "Bass"...sorry, spell correct is a pain
Mannish boy is ALWAYS in my library of tunes! I be driving on the highway…”ain’t that a man?”
You want to checkout a great movie on the blues, I highly recommend Cadillac Records. It covers Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Willie Dixon, Little Walter and Etta James, Chuck Berry and Leonard Chess (Chess Records). It was done really well.
Blues.. Blues.. great music..great artist. La bise from Ardèche, France 😎
This is probably the first blues song I ever heard. I knew this song long before I knew the title or artist.
Great song but I prefer the version from his 'Hard Again' album. It's a real belter.
There is a thread of songs you need to follow - in chronological order. Hoochie Coochie Man by Muddy Waters - I'm a Man by Bo Diddley then Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters. All great blues songs that inspired so many to follow. By the way, check out Born Under a Bad sign by Albert King (some fantastic Blues guitar from Albert and backing from the Memphis Horns).
That riff is 37,000 to 44,000 years old, given that you can play it on a bow and arrow based "diddy-bow". This is the definitive version.
Reminds me of those old juke joints where you’d listen to blues music on the jukebox and have a great catfish dinner and some brown liquor. 😎🥃💃🏽
Oh yeah!
McKinnley Morganfield aka Muddy Waters made and created that riff in Manish Boy. Muddy Waters is the Godfather aka inventor of Chicago Blues, the style of blues he played. Muddy Waters was the 1st blues artist to play the electric guitar in blues. Because of Muddy Waters, this is how rock n roll was born. The Rolling Stones named their band after a Muddy Waters hit song (I'm a Rolling Stone)
Muddy Waters lived about the songs he sunged. It's reported he has 19 children by multiple women. Muddy was married 2-3 times. His last wife was 19 years old right before he died. Muddy Waters is the true Godfather of the blues, Hoochie Coochie Man & the real Mannish Boy😀
You may recognize riff from Bad to the Bone.
Saw him at his place in ST LOUIS years ago.. wasn't disappointed
Rolling Stones named themselves after this
No they didn’t. The band was named after a title of a Muddy Waters song called Rolling Stone. In mannish boy he references some of his other songs including Rolling Stone and Hoochie Coochie man.
The song has a double meaning. In a time when many African American men were referred to as a boy by people in society he made this song to let people know they were a “Man”.
Great choice guys, but something tells me there's a longer version of that out there, as well as a much later version with Johnny Winter on guitar.
Check out Muddy's "Still A Fool" or "You Can't Miss What You Never Had".
Check out the live version with Mick Jagger at Checker’s Lounge when The Rolling Stones were in Chicago that night and went down after their show to see Muddy and sit in.
I went to see him a few times as a young woman Awesome show but ladies screaming was part of the show. Really fortunate to see John lee Hooker, Willie Dixon others, this song is the original rift
Listen to all of these same songs when Jonny Winter started playing with Muddy Waters
Every blues artist has covered muddy waters music Eric Clapton made a tribute to muddy waters Album and so did Paul Rogers The same Paul Rogers that had a rock band named Bad Company and after Bad Company Paul had another band named The Firm
Paul’s tribute album to muddy waters is great with him on lead vocals and about six or seven really good lead blues guitarists that made this album one of the best blues albums ever to me
Muddy Waters is the true King of the Blues Like I said every blues artist out there has done numerous covers of muddy’s incredible song writing The song One burning one scotch and one beer was Written by Jonny Lee Hooker and George Thorogood turned it into a popular rock song years after it was written
Should have done the Live Full length version
Great old classic Blues song. Good stuff.
This song rose in popularity again in the early 80's when it was featured in the prostitution scene in the movie Risky Business.
You may have heard the 'I'm A Man' by Chicago, originally by The Spencer Davis Group. If you haven't Chicago's is one of the best listens ever for a first time reaction
If the both of you are looking for the origin of the riff in this song, you may have to go back to pre-World War II Blues recordings, or perhaps some "Prison Blues" recordings that were made for the Library Of Congress in the 1930s and 1940s.
Definitely take some time on your own to check out more Muddy. Also can't recommend too highly John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins. VERY different styles, but all iconic.
Read a story on some liner notes about a fan recognizing Lightnin ' Hopkins playing on a street corner in Chicago. He mentioned that he owned all his albums. Lightnin' said he'd never seen one of them. The fan led him up the street to a record store and showed them to him. Lightnin' said something like "Well how about that!".
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 Never heard that. Great story!
Absolute classic 👍
If you guys wanna see a great live performance of Muddy and this song...
Check out his performance with The Band on The Last Waltz concert
About the ‘riff thing’: Blues evolved from work songs sung by slaves working in the fields, digging, planting and reaping crops. It was easier to do that with repetitive rhythms (riffs). There are old recordings of this and prison chain gangs. This could easily be from that era and no doubt Willie Dixon used this as inspiration - and probably, like most early bluesmen, was working/had worked in the fields himself.
The folk music of the Mississippi Delta took a northbound train and exited by the southwestern shores of Lake Michigan, where it got electrified, plugged in, and amplified...and humanity was irrevocably altered forever thereafter
This era are the main influences to those bands from the 1960s and 1970s. All our great rock Gods turn into little giddy girls whenever one of these guys accept to play with the band at times.
Muddy Waters started this famous riff. Also, I think the Rolling Stones got their name from these lyrics.
Muddy Waters is a legend for good reason.
Start at The Crossroads and journey forward through The Blues
Love y'all reacting to the blues
Muddy is the real deal, awesome!!
Boss Of The Blues, Muddy "Mississippi" Waters.
Yup !, Love it.
ACDC uses that kind of rif in a few songs. The one I'm thinking about is A Whole Lot Of Rosie.
That version was short,Jimi Hendrix did a cover of this song also
Hooked on this song 1st time heard it
OooohWhee!!!! Muddy Waters?! Come on!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
HOWLIN WOLF is the best Smoke Stack Lightning IMHO has gotta be my favorite !
Muddy Waters = legendary
Those other commentators are wrong. The Rolling Stones did not get their band name from the lyrics of this song. They got it from the title of a Muddy Waters song.
“The Rolling Stones came into being in 1962 when former schoolmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards met Brian Jones, who was playing with Alexis Korner's band Blues Incorporated. Brian named their new group after the title of the Muddy Waters song " Rollin' Stone".”
By the way, both the Rolling Stones and the Beatles song their versions of the blues in their early careers.
Rock ‘n’ roll is a direct descendent of the blues. The term rock ‘n’ roll is blues slang for sex.
You might be able to find a video of Mick Jagger and muddy waters singing mannish boy together.
Hes the king 🥰🥰🥰
Muddy “Mississippi” Waters. ❤️❤️❤️
You guys should check out Howlin Wolf- Smoke stack lighting
You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had by Muddy Waters
Muddy owns that lick . It's his trademark ;-)
It’s wonderful isn’t it. I was lucky enough to see Muddy Waters live in the 1970’s what an experience
Nas did a cover of this beat. I might be wrong, but I think it was Willie Dixon who came up with it first. Again, I might be wrong.
Check out Reeling in the Years/Experience Hendrix Productions "The Amercan Folk Blues Festival " 1962-'66 four vol. Series made in Europe by Horst Lippmann & Frtz Rau, Willi Dixon booked all the Artists even after he stopped performing there, the Fest' continued 'till 1985
FYI...That's the late great Johnny Winters shouting in the background.
YES!!! MUDDY RULES!!
Y'all been playing more low-down dirty blues lately🔥
Asia, BJ: Muddy released this on Chess 1602 in June 1955. Bo Diddley's "I'm A Man" was released on Checker 814 in March 1955 ruclips.net/video/SaC5ZKRjLUM/видео.html
As the labels are from the same stable and probably recorded in the same studio it's anybody's guess which was first. MY guess is Bo's was first but Chess were prepared to release Muddy's take on it as he was the bigger star by far and the flipside of Bo's first disc was taking off anyway (the flipside being the classic "Bo Diddley" ruclips.net/video/PXIX-A1Lk-Y/видео.html )
Such an Icon!
Yea the Blues 101 Muddy
A King of the blues
I prefer the other version but this one is awesome too.
Legally, I believe the riff would be considered generic enough to the genre of blues that no artist could claim copyright to it, or enough time has passed for the artist who created it for it to be public use, or the creating artist is uncredited as it’s a very old riff. But don’t quote me on that.
Listening to this, I want to be sitting in the corner of a darkened bar sipping on a double shot of bourbon....
