This is clearly my favorite version of this tune. I never forget the first time I heard this. The highlight is when he starts singing at the end . Masterpiece

James covered this song on several recordings. This one is perhaps my favorite. The way he builds tension in the progression is amazing

It's a shame I can't find this version on Spotify, I agree, I also love how he sings at the end with the alternative chord progression. His singing made him a fuller musician imo.

I agree with most of what you said aside from using "black". Why can't he just be the best piano genius, period? There was no need to say it like that. His playing crossed over to every race, nationality and creed. Do you get what Im saying? This dude influenced many people of all races.

Booker taught dr. john how to play the organ, and harry's dad let booker out on parole so long as he gave harry piano lessons at the age of 12. Harry and Jon cleary are regarded as the best interpreters of booker to this day... in terms of jazz...harry is far more advanced but nobody can play the blues like booker, NOBODY. Sometimes Booker couldn't even play the blues like booker! :)

+Cameron Brwdway This is most easily available on "New Orleans Piano Wizard: Live!" on Rounder Records. It was originally issued by Gold Records as "Boogie-Woogie and Ragtime Piano Contest." The album was recorded in Zurich on Nov. 27, 1977. This is a particularly horrible-sounding digitization of it, by the way.
