So you should know that before him there was a Jimi Hendrix, there was Hubert Sumlin. Hubert Sumlin backed Howlin’ Wolf during his entire career until Wolf’s death. He’s been dubbed a heavy influence for almost ANY man who held a guitar after him, from Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, to the Rolling Stones and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Many many more, have followed. He’s still very much alive today and he still tours.</p> <p>Hats off to You Mr. Hubert Sumlin!!!!</p>http://everythingsoulful.tumblr.com/post/9787915154http://everythingsoulful.tumblr.com/post/9787915154Sun, 04 Sep 2011 08:39:29 -0500Hubert SumlinHubertSumlinHowlinHowlin'Howlin' WolfHowlin WolfStevie RayStevie Ray VaughnEricEric ClaptonJimiHendrixJimi HendrixClaptonThe Rolling StonesRolling StonesBlack MusicBlackMusicGuitar<iframe class="tumblr_audio_player tumblr_audio_player_9745677730" src="http://everythingsoulful.tumblr.com/post/9745677730/audio_player_iframe/everythingsoulful/tumblr_lqpf8jC8FL1qcb819?audio_file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tumblr.com%2Faudio_file%2Feverythingsoulful%2F9745677730%2Ftumblr_lqpf8jC8FL1qcb819" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" width="500" height="169"></iframe><br/><br/><p>The Clash</p>http://everythingsoulful.tumblr.com/post/9745677730http://everythingsoulful.tumblr.com/post/9745677730Sat, 03 Sep 2011 09:00:05 -0500The ClashClashGunsBrixtonGuns of Brixton<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqx98idB2u1qcb819o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Sam Cooke, with his old pal and fellow Chicagoan, Lou Rawls.</p> <p>I really wish they would’ve recorded together more. </p>http://everythingsoulful.tumblr.com/post/9726746151http://everythingsoulful.tumblr.com/post/9726746151Fri, 02 Sep 2011 19:55:30 -0500Dope Black MenBlack MusicSam CookeLou RawlsChicagoChicago Music<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lquv9m7K3g1qcb819o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lquv9m7K3g1qcb819o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Greatness is an Understatement.</p>http://everythingsoulful.tumblr.com/post/9671862212http://everythingsoulful.tumblr.com/post/9671862212Thu, 01 Sep 2011 12:58:00 -0500stokely carmichaelstokelycarmichaelblack powerMartin Luther KingMartin Luther King Jr.MLKBlack PanthersBlackPantherPanther PartyKwame TureKwame<p>I&#8217;ve been reading The LIfe and Struggles of Stokely Carmichael.
