I popped into the gospel tent to see him when I went to Jazzfest last year, he was raising the roof. Glad now that I did, RIP.

His performance in Wattstax is so great. I assumed for years he was a Memphis/southern guy, didn’t discover until years later he was from Michigan.

yeah it looks like that's 1939 and the tune I posted is 1947. Def some stylistic similarities. And you can really hear a lot of boogie and pre-rock and roll in the rhythm
