Sonny Terry's whoopin'

Here's one of the few videos of the greatest blues harp player of all time, Sonny Terry, and his buddy Brownie McGee. Together they were magic. In this footage we can dig how the blind hero is whoopin'. It's early 60s and America was blinder than Sonny: bluesmen were filmed, recorded and appreciated by... Germans at the American Folk and Blues Festival right across the Atlantic. The name of the song is Hootin' the Blues. Enjoy.
