    I've had several opportunities to talk with James Cotton after He lost his voice. Hearing him sing has got to make you wonder how much more popular he could have been. He was a peaceful and decent from what I could gather from my conversations.

      His harmonica playing is exceptional. It’s one thing to just play one but it’s another thing to be expressive with that instrument.

      At 1:27 he starts his solo. It’s not the greatest guitar work ever but I think it fits in really well within the context of the song. But is this the real Steve Miller? I think he had some great songs after this from memory.

      Sadly, Steve Miller wasn't there, few people would have watched the show. Americans are and were so racist that they had to have their blues disseminated through white Americans and Brits to be able to accept it.

      Go study up on the legend that was James Cotton one of the all-time great blues harmonica singers and great solo & leaders of the 60s the ‘90s. Art is not a competition nor is the blues.

      It’s very faithful to Jimmy Reed even if Steve should have stayed off vocals.I don’t know what you’re talking about. James Cotton is one of the all-time great blues Harp players and had a great band from the 60s thru the ‘90s. Go bone up on the blues before you start going off on things you don’t know about.
