Remembering the #Blues giant Muddy Waters (April 4, 1913 – April 30, 1983). The clip is from his concert in Dortmund, Germany in 1976.
"I would think that 'Hoochie Coochie Man' is a keystone in the architecture of rock 'n' roll," biographer Robert Gordon says, "because it was a song that could be covered by rock bands and sound like a rock 'n' roll song and be done by blues bands and sound like a blues song, and basically they're all playing the same thing."
Muddy Waters made at least two dozen recordings of his signature song during the nearly three decades he sang it. His final performances of "Hoochie Coochie Man" marked a return to the song's stripped-down origins. Until his death in 1983 at the age of 68, Waters remained the Hoochie Coochie Man.
