NOTE: watch the billboard here of Hi-Di-Ho in the USA, 1965, presenting "directly from England" Johnny "Guitar" Watson, in Union Hall E.L.A. Watson had no name in his home land. Flying in from England, those years the center of pop music, Watson would be made more attractive. Watson toured the same year in England with his friend Larry Williams. This way Watson earned some name in the USA, thanks to Decca recordings.
For the full story of the struggles in Watson's life, see my biography: The Gangster of Love - Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Performer, Preacher, Pimp (Extended Edition, 2014), amazon, books.google.com.

One of the greatest musicians of ANY time! Admired him all my life. He sounds as fresh today as ever. Groove on in Paradise, John!
thanks for that one, but, you can't sum up Johnny's work in 16 minutes, this man did so much that there's not a week that goes by that I don't listen to his music, that's about 42 years, and it never gets old, man, I had 15 albums from Johnny, more than any other artists, wish I could have collected all his work, some day I hope to. I lost a friend in music when he died, but, through his music, he'll always be there...
You are right. Therefor at the end of my description I mention my biography, The Gangster of Love. Take a look in this book. Thanks for your reaction. I am also a Watson fan for 42 years, from A Real Mother For Ya on.
Thanks Vincent...
I'm joining the in crowd. I replaced Marvin Gaye as my favourite with Johnny Guitar Watson. After hearing "Why Don't You Treat Me Like I'm Your Man"
In Trinidad 1974.
When you listen to his early stuff, you can definitely hear his influence on Zappa. RIP JGW
The Master of funk..Johnny cuitar watson...🎸all time..
Ooit leren kennen dankzij mijn nicht die haar cassette van JGW grijs draaide in haar auto.Ben ondertussen ook al meer dan 35 jaar fan en nog steeds bezig met zijn muziek aan het verzamelen en dankzij Vincent horen we af en toe nog eens iets nieuws van hem. Bedankt daarvoor.
Graag gedaan!
... thanks for this “fan”- TASTIC vid!... I “DID” learn something [actually- a “couple” somethings!😆] from it!...
Hey Vincent! please see if you can the get long 9 minute live version of "Cuttin" In.
Johnny Watson would be disappointed knowing his best live song is not available.
The song was up there before, but I believe someone was told to take it down maybe i'm wrong.
...yup- ...”🎵...Johnny guitar from Texas!?... Johnny guitar Watson- the Mayor of Houston!”... just vote for MEEEE!... cast your vote for me..,”... and “... l don’t mind the people knowing’- man- but- WHAT ABOUT MY WIFE!?!”...😆... yup- them “country boys” can SURE embellish a concept/story...
and “JGW🎸” was a MASTER STORY TELLER!... truly miss the creativity- presentation- and “FUNK!- beyond the call of duty”- as offered by MY favorite entertainer of ALL time (yup- and this would include REDD FOXX- ...another BAD- FAVORITE entertainer!)... PHUQUE! the irs... phlyppin” [criminal]- parasites!... WAKE UP- “people!”... sheesh!...
