This was circa '48 if I'm not mistaken and JLH hasn't budged an inch from that formula in 60 years. Some will say yea, others nay.

Bringing on John Lee Hooker's "HEAVY" cool soul is a bit tough (hammer) on Jagger's Wandering Spirit, but as John Lee sings "nobody do the boogie like the boogie-man". That is why this gets a Godlike rating, much thanks.

Artists like John Lee Hooker are the fathers of genres like rock.They have toiled in anonimity while others have ripped off their music.Perhaps the high ratings are an acknowledement of their contribution to popular music.

Periodically I feel the pull to chime in with a WTF comment about song ratings so here goes: Desmond Dekker's all-time classic "Israelites" rates a full point lower than a run-of-the-mill John Lee Hooker tune. I'm not saying Hooker isn't great, but is it possible that some voters on RP rate artists like Hooker highly so that others will take their musical tastes more seriously when looking at their ratings list? Ratings posers, you're on notice. There's no shame in being honest. Everybody already knows how much you like Spandau Ballet and how little you like The Decembrists.

Remember that paradise is forever—if you believe.

Or one could say "I've grown old AND this is paradise!"

One of the joys for getting older for me has been getting to understand better just how incredibly fantastic is the universe and the life that springs from it.

They used to write ''Clapton is God'' on walls in the UK. Maybe Eric and JLH could job-share up there.

Not one of his best, but still great. Saw him at the Twisted Wheel in Manchester (England) on his first UK tour in the sixties - blew me away - unique and unforgettable. His peers owe a great deal to Chris Barber et al for resurrecting their careers and bringing the true R&B to prominence again.
