Legendary player, iconic song, great performance and killer go-go dancer. Love the Peter Gunn riff tossed in there. BTW, did a little googling and learned this is from a short-lived TV show called The!!! Beat. Yeah, three exclamation points after the word "the". Hosted by DJ Bill "Hoss" Allen, it featured a ton of great blues and R n B artists. Clarence Gatemouth Brown was the house band leader. It's apparently available on DVD, seems worth checking into...

Freddie made every song he did an EVENT. Triple threat. Expressive singer with great pitch and a smooth falsetto, guitar chops as strong as any of The Kings, and one hell of an entertainer and party starter. In my view, his original recording of "Have You Ever Loved a Woman?" is the definitive version. His octave jumps into falsetto still brings chills.

@Magnificent-Stranger

Of all the Three Kings, I think Freddie is the one who is the most versatile and the most fun to listen to. One of the all time greats and one among those who's name and works shall be commemorated in the Great Blues Pantheon.
