Dobie Grey, Howard Tate, and Hubert Sumlin...Enough already.
Listen to this song! At 1:14, and 1:57, he just glides up to a Jackie Wilson/Claude Jeter moan; and the words, nothing but pain. Met him in Ottawa three years ago, he was almost embarrassingly humble, and then went out and brought the festival to a standstill; what a talent, what a loss. Rest in peace, you've earned it.
