 Great shot of HOWLIN' WOLF (1910-1976) live in concert in 1964. He was certainly one of the most powerful singers and performers that ever lived. Born in the Mississippi Delta, he made his first recordings in Memphis for Sam Phillips' Memphis Recording Service, the precurser to Sun Records. Wolf moved to Chicago in the early 1950's and recorded his classics "Smokestack Lightning," "Meet Me at the Bottom," "300 Pounds of Heavenly Joy," and many more for the Chess label. He had an unforgettable voice with fantastic songs. He also played harmonica, and guitar, too, which he learned directly from Charley Patton. Love the Wolf!
