Robert Johnson was freaking amazing, he sounds like two guitarists on a single guitar. Did you see that new picture of him that was discovered recently?

That comment reminds me of a guitarist who, on a live LP from 1973, also sounds like at least two guitarists:

Ringo has aged so well...

That rings a bell!
Here's a version of "The Weight" by Aretha Franklin, with Duane Allman on slide guitar and King Curtis on sax:

And another Aretha Franklin song, "It Ain't Fair", my favorite, again with Duane Allman and King Curtis:

The Dirty Mac ... a 'supergroup' before the term was coined. John Lennon of The Beatles on vocal and rhythm guitar, Eric Clapton of Cream on lead guitar, Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones on bass, and Mitch Mitchell from The Jimi Hendrix Experience on drums.

Mmmm.... Electric Blues.... Jeremy Spencer can still play and sing like it's 1968...
From the Music of Peter Green celebration concert in February 2020. That is Bill Wyman from the Rolling Stones playing bass.

Ah yes, a "disciple" of that other giant of the blues guitar (besides Robert Johnson), Elmore James.
My wife kind of winces at the slide guitar, but I'm a total fan of it - if not "junkie".
Duane Allman and Ry Cooder are dangerous "pushers"!

Here's Elmore James's version of "The Sky Is Crying":

And also a version of "Standing At The Crossroads" for good measure:

Lawdy - take away the stuff by Johnson and James, and the Blues catalogue kinda shrinks!

Found this video on YouTube. Not perfect but it's Rush so can't complain!

This performance caught me by surprise, when I saw it on MTV, back in the day. Bowled me over. I didn't know Rick had it in him.

John Lennon couldn't rock much imo. Keith Richards is rock and roll.

When S-eS mentioned "funk" above, one band immediately sprang to mind - the Average White Band from Scotland!

Here's a version of their hit "Pick Up The Pieces" I like even better than that from the original album "AWB":

Then the title track from their third Album "Cut The Cake":

Repeating myself here, but still my ultimate favorite funk song: Rufus and Chaka Kahn "You've Got The Love":

😍😍😍

Sometimes YouTube comes up with suggestion gems! An instrumental version of "You've Got The Love":

😍😍😍

A couple Rolling Stones songs in honour to Scarlett.....

When I think of the Rolling Stones live.. THIS is what I think of, not what they became after the mid seventies.

I had this youtube post removed from another site because it was deemed to glorify rape and killing.
