One of my top five movies is cadillac records I learned alot about little Walter and muddy waters actually started listening to muddy after i seen the movie
@@williamlitzinger1989 my grandmother chopped cotton with him and his brother. Funny Muddy Waters brother was a preacher. He had a beautiful voice too. There's a blues museum in my hometown with a lot of Muddy Waters and other blues artifacts. Also, the crossroads so be careful lol
My great great grandfather said that he saw him perform and that the man have an excellent show. Looking at his pictures..... that's a hard looking 37......he would never know the impact that he made nor the legacy that he left on musicians of every genre.
Columbus Short played the heck out of that role. He was my favorite character in the movie. He deserves some type of award for his portrayal of Little Walter. The death scene was heartbreaking. I love the movie, but, I dread that part.
Mr. Short was BORN to play that role! Cadillac Records was a very good movie….. especially the role of Mr. “Smokestack Mountain” The Wolf. Sad story about Little Walter. Such a talented guy.
Yes. I read that, that was sweet. Leonard Chess's brother just died in like 2021 from COVID. He seemed to living well. I wonder was he living off of all those artists royalties since Leonard died so young.
@@SouthPawGirlie Are you saying, Phil Chess had Covid, I did not hear that,and was following his brother, til he passed, heard nothing about it because he did a while ago, 2015 or 2016. So, please get back, and let me know, you're wrong if you're saying Phil, Len brother died only 2021 when it is not true,.
@@Taylor-zz7cv I'm agreeing, I think NDN is inaccurate, let's see if she respond. I'm curious why she said he only passed on to heaven 1 or 2 yrs ago when Len Chess brother Phil, passed on many years ago. Tay. great piece here as to Lil' Walter, love Cadillac Records, watching it again right now.
Thank you for this. I was a little girl in Chicago when these guys were in the chess studio. Hanging out with my grandfather. Willie Dixon. I wish that I was old enough to know that I was amongst LEGENDS 👑
Whole damn family was wildin’.He didn’t stand a chance from birth but I’m glad the world had a chance to experience this great talent.I’m from Chicago.South side proud 🫡Love your content bro
Quick story on how I became a CU fan, the first video I came across was probably the Paul Williams or Dennis Edwards video and I use to skip to the end just to hear how the person died, but probably around the Scott La Rock video (or maybe earlier) was when I became a fan and now I'm a superfan so from me personally thank you CU for all the great videos and funny moments.
I never knew much of anything about Little Walter outside of the movie "Cadillac Records" and Columbus Short played the hell out of the Little Walter character. It seems when it rained it poured for Walter. He lived his life like no other but one thing nobody could ever take from him and that was his harmonica and style. Thanks so much for this informative story on one of the greatest harmonica musician the world would ever know.
This is why I can't get into the music business, it's way too wicked & evil. I wanna start leading by example. Bro, I really appreciate you telling us these stories. I can learn a lot from you, peace & Shalom.❤❤❤❤
You speak Truth!😢 Being a long time professional Singer, I've experienced many joys, and even more disappointments😢 But music is still an integral part of my life, and always will be ❤
My baby don't stand no cheating my babe. That was my favorite song. He was a very interesting man. Howling wolf, muddy waters. The beginning of Rhythm and Blues.
There is a plaque here in Alexandria for him and they had a Little Walter Blues Festival. Definitely inspired me to play harmonica as well as Sonny Boy II and Howlin Wolf
I am from Alexandria, La. I was on the committee for the Lil Walter music festival , I really hope this festival comes back to town. There is so much to learn about this musical icon named, Lil Walter. History of the music is essential. Thanks for sharing a much ❤️!
Cadillac records was a great movie! Columbus was so incredibly fine in this movie.. I didn’t know about the drug us…wow…he lived so hard! Alcohol is a depressant that makes everything worse! Everything that went wrong with Walter is because of his addiction. Only 37 years old…how sad🙏🏽I’m related to a lot of men that lived like that🥺
“Just sprinkle a little Blues on it, and it's going to grow up big and bad.” Willie Dixon I grew up listening and loving every musician you named. 39 years later I still love the Blues.
Thank you. I really enjoyed this. I'm a rock singer songwriter who paid attention when The Rolling Stones mentioned their influences. As soon as I went to Muddy Waters I got completely taken with Little Walter. Practiced for about a year before I got good enough to play on stage. He'll always be my main man. Nobody comes close. Gonna practice to him again after I get done watching this. Been a long time since I did that. Thanks again!
His ORIGINAL version of "Fever" sounds the best! He was the only singer to sing it like he was getting feaver from his lover vs. other singers singing it like they were giving their lovers fever. His interpretation was iconic. He was a wild one for sure. Thanks for such amazing content!
Thank you for another story knocked out of the park. Cadillac Records is a good movie. Can we please get a story on Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner & Curtis Mayfield?
Howling Wolf 🐺 loved him ❤ and little Walter ❤ Louisiana people love ❤️ our family ❤️❤️❤️ RIP to these LEGENDS 🙏🏽 hopefully they will do a LITTLE WALTER MOVIE 🎥
Crazy how his estate was worth millions, and no family member saw it fit to give him a proper headstone. Sad! I watch so many of your videos, and these artists meet some horrible demise’s due to their lifestyle.
Lifestyle some cases lack of education. Same story decades later record executives cheat artists out of their money. He was not worth millions while living. They can get DNA from Little Walter siblings to prove if that's his daughter. Just saying.
When I first seen Cadillac records I said Chess was the Death Row records of they time. Gangster! Lol. One of my favorite movies. This a good video too. Keep up the good work bro!
I concur totally agree 💯 I thought the same thing I thought that Beyonce voice as beautiful as it is was not for that type of soul music I always saw Lela James for that part
Lil Walter was sumthin else!! 😭😭😭 SUPER talented and a groundbreaking artist ♥️ I’m off today so I think I’m gonna watch Cadillac Records…one of my FAVORITE movies! Sidenote: Chess Records was located about 4 blocks from where I grew up…when I was little I remember my Dad pointing the building out to me, when it was still there. Chicago got rid of ALOT of historical Black landmarks, in Bronzeville, after Harold Washington died of a “heart attack” that he was trying to get national landmark status for 🤦🏽♀️ 😒
@@voncielmccoy9382 It’s indeed true, it was because of a specific reason why Mayor Washington died about 35 years ago. So when he died, that landmark was torn down before the city could make it an official historic landmark
🎤HEY LITTLE WALTER... HEY LITTLE WALTER listen!! Anyway I'm glad to see you today and I hope you are having a great day. Thanks for the blessing and keep them coming. ❤️
Love 💕 your style of story telling Celebrity Underrated! My babe! That song was a good song. But the Cadillac Records movie was insightful as well. But you know how people lie
Howlin Wolf is my favorite blues singer of all time no disrespect to Little Walter and Muddy Waters. Little Walter played the harmonica like an electric guitar. I love the songs "Juke" " My Babe" "I Hate To See You Go" "Key To The Highway" "Last Night" "Boom Boom Out Go The Lights".
I was lucky enough to have an older brother who introduced me to Blues in general and Little Walter specifically in the early 70s. I learned to play by copying Little Walter. I’ve had the good fortune to meet Big Walter and Little Walters drummer Fred Below. Fred told me LW stories for an hour. He WAS a WILD man. His drinking, fighting and lovemaking were legendary. Thank you for this excellent video.
Little Walter is my mothers first cousin and my second cousin. He and my mother grew up together in Marksville Louisiana. Walter and My mother Ruth, a singer at the time, were on the Chittlin Circuit together during those early years when he did not drink alcohol. He did not shoot anyone according to my mother, as depicted in the movie. He also never mentioned a daughter to her. He did in fact stay in touch with his family, so that depicted is incorrect as well. But Walter had an amazing life, though short, he lived it to the fullest. It’s unfortunate that his daughter was privy to the funds and yet not have the decency to place a headstone for her father. I’m sure had His immediate LOUISIANA family had money, they would have done so. REST IN POWER COUSIN WALTER❤
Thanks for this video. I love Cadillac Records as a movie. The background on Walter is very interesting. His character in the movie was wild. Also enjoy your style of story telling. So glad this video didn't have that automated voice that mispronounces words. LOL
Watched Cadillac records about ten times this week and my soul always get touched. May he be in Blues Heaven with the other Great Blues Artist as ........It is the seed bed of so many music genres.
I love ❤️ CADILLAC RECORDS MOVIE 🎥 it showed some insight on music 🎶 history. Thanks for sharing. He was a Louisiana man mostly musically inclined. TAURUS ♉️ THE BULL
Love him! Thank you for the in-depth documentary. I been a fan since I found a old record of his 30 years ago and still sounds great. Key to the highway is the best song ever recorded
Did I hear the same life story as everyone else? No mother, father went to jail, uncle went to jail, family members mistreated him and then molested at twelve by an older women. I don't understand when people comment he needed an intervention or guidance, when I know his lack if restraint was due to his upbringing. He raised hisself. "There but for the grace if god go I."
2023 eyes and culture… it was not of the same brand as today. People obviously could only go but so far with their opinions of his life ( i heard it Said that he was a fighter/shooter/slicer, didn’t you? ) In those days, the cops thought they were intervening by beating him the ways they did for his behavior (It’s twisted, but true) It doesn’t sound like he was listening to anyone.
@@Vic9659 why do y'all always say that? I'm pretty sure none of you wouldn't want someone to say that after you passed away . It's straight up disrespectful and once again none of you have a right to judge these people celebrities are human they make mistakes just like us and we make mistakes just like them.
Little Walter Was 2PAC Before Tupac. He probably would've been a bigger artist without the alcohol & quick temper. But He's still a Legend in Music History 🅰️➕
Ns that creole background drinking alcohol is no good once that liquor hit our blood we turn red and it’s over from there lol, one of my uncles my grandmother took care of back in the day use to speak French I thought he was a demon before I knew that French was our 2nd language 😂😂 I was a kid
First video of yours I checked out was the Roger Troutman story which btw I had no idea how tragic his life ending was until watching your upload which was like a history lesson essentially. Keep up the good work. ✌🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for making this! It was great to hear his story! I'm waiting to hear a well researched doc or movie on Little Willie John. There's a lot of holes in his biography thus far.

He going to have me watching Cadillac records today!! Great info on Little Walter!!🔥🥰
I couldn't imagine dying this year!! I'm currently 37 right now 🥺
Hollywood didn't tell the truth about his death in Cadillac Records. He didn't die that way. He died in the apartment of his lady friend of a health problem. They should of told the truth. His family should of sued.

He definitely looked hard in the face, but being that he was actually older then he thought could have played a part as well.
Columbus Short played the heck out of that role. He was my favorite character in the movie. He deserves some type of award for his portrayal of Little Walter. The death scene was heartbreaking. I love the movie, but, I dread that part.
Absolutely brilliant and i admit the scene with Muddy finding him dead and howling like a wolf through grief brings tears to my eyes ..
Mr. Short was BORN to play that role! Cadillac Records was a very good movie….. especially the role of Mr. “Smokestack Mountain” The Wolf. Sad story about Little Walter. Such a talented guy.

2023 eyes and culture… it was not of the same brand as today. People obviously could only go but so far with their opinions of his life ( i heard it Said that he was a fighter/shooter/slicer, didn’t you? )
In those days, the cops thought they were intervening by beating him the ways they did for his behavior (It’s twisted, but true)
It doesn’t sound like he was listening to anyone.
@@Vic9659 why do y'all always say that? I'm pretty sure none of you wouldn't want
someone to say that after you passed away . It's straight up disrespectful and once again none of you have a right to judge these people celebrities are human they make mistakes just like us and we make mistakes just like them.
@Can Van 💯 Ain't nobody perfect. We all have imperfections and flaws. Unfortunately, it comes with the territory.

I love the way you break, down these Celebrity underrated videos, the way you tell their stories is so life altering thank you so much my brother 💯🙏🏿😇
Little Walter Was 2PAC Before Tupac. He probably would've been a bigger artist without the alcohol & quick temper. But He's still a Legend in Music History 🅰️➕
He always will be!
He didn’t drink until his mom died, though, right❓⁉️💔💔
Tupac for sho
Eric Freeman in what aspect is was he like 2pac
Ns that creole background drinking alcohol is no good once that liquor hit our blood we turn red and it’s over from there lol, one of my uncles my grandmother took care of back in the day use to speak French I thought he was a demon before I knew that French was our 2nd language 😂😂 I was a kid
Great video! Please do one on our dearly departed brother Bobby Caldwell ❤🙏
First video of yours I checked out was the Roger Troutman story which btw I had no idea how tragic his life ending was until watching your upload which was like a history lesson essentially. Keep up the good work. ✌🏾🙏🏾
Another great video. Bout to watch Cadillac Records again. Right now
Another banger 🔥 👌🏽 I really hope u do WWE Chris Benoit soon. Keeping on dropping them gems 💎 & bangers Celebrity Underrated. #RIPLilWalter 🙏🏽
Thanks for making this! It was great to hear his story! I'm waiting to hear a well researched doc or movie on Little Willie John. There's a lot of holes in his biography thus far.
Love documentaries like this!💜💜 thank you for the recommendation. Loved the movie, still watching it today
He is actually a relative of mine but I did not know about it until later on in life. I didn’t even know much about him so thank you for this video.
