That rock star guitar work too! I feel the manhood in this song. Makes me feel on top of the world when I hear this.

In tune

The skinny years
He was the ladies man!
You can hear his younger sounding voice.
It was hard to get light gauge strings back then. Lol

Does anyone know the year this was recorded? In the late 1960s, a friend lent me an LP called "The Great B.B. King", which he thought was from 1953. One of my favourite tracks was "I Was Blind", and in 1973 I asked B.B. when he recorded it. He wasn't sure, but when I said I thought it was 1953, he said it could have been. I found it on You Tube, where the date was given as 1961, but the song in this clip was also on the LP, and is said to be from between 1954 and 1958, so now I am confused!

9/54. It's the B side to "You upset me baby".
