Shuggie has not made it easy for people to become acquainted with him and his excellent guitar capabilites. After "Kooper Session" was released I couldn't understand why he basically dropped from sight. I know he still recorded and worked with Johnny Otis but, for me, his recordings weren't really accessible. He seemed to be playing strictly for Shuggie, all others take it or leave it. That's fine for Shuggie but not necessarily so for those who loved the cuts he did with Al Kooper. Fortunately, that album is a true classic so I fall back on it often.
Sweet Thang, I found a live performance of Shuggie!! What a legend. Fun fact: When The Stones were looking to find their new guitarist after Mick Taylor was getting ready to leave the band. He turned them down and said he wanted to focus on his own music. The Man’s true to his music. No doubt.
i learned a lot of my riffs from Shuggie back in the early 70's I listened to the Al Kooper Super Sessions and wore the record out... truly a great player
I feel ashamed that I’m 56 years old and LOVED all the old funk and soul coming up through the 60’s and 70’s, including Brothers Johnson, but never heard of this incredible legend. What rock was I living under?
@michaela8802 not alone my man he's one if thousands w h o were into the makin' and bakin' not the dough. There's a entire layer of musical strata the likes of him... Great music.
He is amazing this sounds like the music of New Orleans. It looks like he never got the recognition that he deserved because here it is 2022 and I never heard of him. I heard strawberry letter the other day and that's how i found out about him. He is a genius.
@@paulhabermacher516 Oh...cool. I never met Jon before. He wasn't at the Shuggie Otis show in Boston a couple of years back. Nick was there. I spoke with him after the show.
His Vocals on this is as good as it gets. And the tone he pulls outta that SG is Bliss. In this age of Bona this and Bona shred that--Refreshing to hear some real tasty soulful blues reminiscent of 60s/70s
Hannu Mäkynen Check out Super Sessions if you don't already ready know has Mike OMG Bloomfield, AL, Steven Stills and yes Shuggie . ..It's been around a long time and still a top of mine.
Shuggie could bend those strings with the best of them here’s proof. Too bad so few seem to know of him or how good he is. Some only know him from Strawberry Letter 23 and most only think of The Brothers Johnson when it comes to that. Lastly if the song is Strawberry Letter 23 why is only Strawberry Letter 22 only mentioned in the lyrics. I’ll let you Shuggie Otis fans ponder that one😁!
Only true music fans know who this talented man is , the rest of the sheep are blinkered .
Then I must be a fan... At least since the late 80s anyway.

I thought he was going to play with the Rolling Stones when Mick Taylor left the Stones.
Or just auditioning? I wish he did.
