A lot of people can thank the Blues Brothers movie for hearing this song for the first time I'm glad I can thank my 95 year old father for that. The Hook is the point blank definition of a bluesman.
The Blues Brothers. A very impressive combination of the greatest music artists in the world. John lee Hooker incomparable. John Belushi & Dan Ackroyd Brilliant, geniuses. Great movie.
Willie 'Too Big' Hall: So, Jake, you're out, you're free, you're rehabilitated. What's next? What's happenin'? What you gonna do? You got the money you owe us, motherfucker?
I were 12 when I first heard John Lee. My Dad saw how I would rewind and play that 20 second clip of boom boom that I had recorded on a vhs tape. He went out and got me a John Lee Hooker best of album. I never got nothing for free as a kid. The last verse of this song makes sense now I'm older.
ONE NIGHT.......I WAS LAYING DOWN......AND I HEARD MAMA AND PAPA TALKIN'.......PAPA TOLD MAMA.......TO LET THAT BOY BOOGIE WOOGIE......ITS IN HIM......LET HIM BRING IT OUT......OH LAWD......I FELT SO GOOD .
For those who missed the Era, there really were honky tonks in Texas & Louisiana that had chicken wire in front of the stage in the 70's & 80's. Dont know about Illinois. It let the patrons throw anything they want at the musicians without hitting them.
🤗I LOVE THESE LYRIC'S I A TEEEN FR9M THE 80 BUT I L9VE THIS BULES SONG RIP MR. JONNIE LEE HOOKER HE THOUGHT THE WAY I RHINK WHEN I WAS TERN I DONT CARE WHO WAS AROYND IN THE 80S I BOGGIE AND GETTING DOWN😎
In 1973 ZZ Top published "La Grange", one of its emblematic songs, about a brothel in the town of the same name. Twenty years later, Bernard Besman, the discoverer of John Lee Hooker, sued them for plagiarism, alluding to the similarities between the song's riff and "Boogie Chillen." Billy Gibbons, the volcanic ZZ Top guitarist, admitted that his song was based on Hooker's, but the court declared the song public domain because no one had officially recorded it ... In 1948 "Boogie Chillen" had spent 18 weeks in the charts, reaching number one in the category "race records" (of that the albums of black artists were labeled like that, whatever their style, as "racial records", in 1950 that label was removed).
But Sones recorded "Shake your hips" in 71. ruclips.net/video/EVJUJxCQp0I/видео.html Johhny Winter made "Mean town blues" 1970. ruclips.net/video/FKXbMa8kUR4/видео.html
I remember hearing about that- I thought they reached a settlement of like, a hundred thousand dollars. A paltry sum. How did the judge fugure no one had "officially recorded it"??? Did he know something everyone else didn't...? That the song appeared on the records by osmosis?? Imagine all the money saved in recording studio costs!
He is just playing one chord . And he is playing in an open tuning , I think he used an Open A .. An odd key for Blues but it sure works for The Hook...

"Yes! Yes! Jesus H. Tap-Dancing Christ! I have seen the light! The band, Elwood! The band!"
John Lee was the _original_ Blues Brother. Dan Aykroyd has said himself that he got the idea for the hat & shades for Jake & Elwood from Mr. Hooker.
@@elwoodjacobs4353 cool 😎
This song plays in my soul at all times, I swear.
In my heart and soul too, Brother.
I often have it in my head, as well as my heart and soul. 🎶
Its in him, and its got to come out

Jake Blues, lighting a cigarette: “Me and the Lord, we have an understanding”.
Elwood Blues: “We’re on a mission from God”.
I remember this was background music (among many, many others) in the Blues Brothers Movie. Great movie great music! 1980s comedy at it's very best!
It’s the greatest comedy it’s the only comedy with amazing car chases. Timeless classic
The Blues Brother were arriving at Bob's Country Bunker for their triumphant return.

@@anthonytobias5459 Midnight Run's pretty good too.
The coolest bluesman ever.
I first heard this song on one of those old 90s mix tapes your crush would give to you. My crush had good taste.
Saw John Lee at the Ozark Mountain Folk Festival in 1973 Eureka Sprs AR
This sounds as fresh as i bet it did back 1948 believe that
Actually, this is the re-recorded version from 1959.
☝🏽What he said👍🏽
WOW 1948!!!
@@DavidJones-ye2ifhis style is very old fashioned, it seems like something from the 20s or 30s
Bob's country bunker plays both kinds of music . Country AND western

Buddy guy brought me back here
🙏 RIP Bluesmaster❤
The earliest roots of rock and roll here.
……pause……”Boogie Chillun”…..
I don’t know much about guitars, but how does he make that sound? It’s very unique.
He’s possibly using a bottle neck slide
@@Arrestingbean he didn't use a slide here
He is just playing one chord . And he is playing in an open tuning , I think he used an Open A .. An odd key for Blues but it sure works for The Hook...
💙🎶!
I always misheard “Henry’s Swing Club” as “Henry Swineclaw”.
Which was on Hastings Street in Detroit. The club and even the street are both gone, replaced by a freeway.
OMG. Say no more. "Boogie Chillen."
Can really see where Canned Heat got the influence from
THIS: ruclips.net/video/b8NJ-MIfFHI/видео.html
Henry Thomas - Going Up The Country (1928)
And George Thorogood
Ive been listening to john lee, w hanndy, taj mahal etc for 50 of my 72 yrs. And im Caucasian
This is it
We’ve been in this car for three fuckin hours
I told you it takes a while to get there
Say what you want, but Gibbons clearly improved on the original concept
Rolling Stones Hip shake baby, Exile on main Street.
Yep.
Does anyone know what date this particular version was recorded?
I believe 1948
Who else came here to listen from The blues brothers
A good blues movie is the cross roads
Led Zeppelin brought me here
Are you kidding?! 😋
Canned Heat Boogie.
