Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: John Lee Hooker
Inductee profile.
Photo by Design Photography Collection of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum | John Lee Hooker is a giant of the blues and the father of the boogie
Beginning in 1948 with his first single, 'Boogie Chillen, ' he introduced the world to the persistent, chugging rhythm of boogie music, a form of country blues Hooker learned back home in Mississippi
Beyond his ability to lock into a hypnotic boogie groove, Hooker is renowned for the gruff emotionality of his voice and the stark intensity of his guitar playing
When interest in electric blues began cooling off, Hooker found a niche for himself on the coffeehouse circuit during the acoustic folk-music boom of the late Fifties and early Sixties
Hooker was born on August 22, 1917, to a sharecropping family in Clarksdale, Mississippi
His stepfather, Will Moore, taught him how to play guitar, and as a young man Hooker encountered such blues legends as Charley Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson and Blind Blake along the way
In his early teens, Hooker ran off to Memphis, where he worked as a theater usher and played music on the side
Hooker went on to record for more than two dozen labels, often resorting to aliases such as John Lee Cooker, Delta John and the Boogie Man for contractual reasons
Blues is the healer

This site was voted for March 11, 1998! In the beginning was a stomping right foot, accompanied by a distorted electric guitar
'One night I was layin down, I heard Mama and Papa talkin I heard Papa tell Mama: 'You let that boy boogie-woogie! It's in him, and it's got to come out!' And I felt so good...' John Lee Hookers stepfather..
The record contains some of the best recordings hes ever done, and at 72, Hooker even gets two MTV hits - the title track, a latino-influenced swamp blues with Carlos Santana on guitar, and the duet with Bonnie Raitt on Im in the Mood

Trout, Walter famous Blues Guitarist
Besides Canned Heat I've played with John Lee Hooker, Big Momma Thorton, Joe Tex, Percy Mayfield, Pee Wee Craton and a lot of other people, but I didn't quit drinking until 12 years ago when I was with John Mayall, and before that it's all pretty much a blur
And at the time I was playing with John Lee Hooker
The guys from Canned Heat knew me through John Lee Hooker's band because Canned Heat and John Lee Hooker have a close relationship you know
They knew me from playing with Hooker and they called up and said, 'Look, we have a tour of Australia and Henry Vestien is drinking so much right now that he can't do the tour

FireBlade DVD Review: The Blues Brothers
Commercial site offering the DVD and an original review of the movie.
John Lee Hooker gets significantly more screen time--resulting in more of the song “Boom Boom” and more shots of the area of Chicago around Aretha Franklin’s fried chicken restaurant
There are great performances by Cab Calloway, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, and more
Where is John Lee Hooker, for example? This “collector’s edition” of “The Blues Brothers” is not a director’s cut

E se Robert Johnson è stato il miglior esempio del perfetto bluesman - con quella sua voce a metà tra la gioia e il dolore che portava in giro per tutti gli Stati Uniti in un periodo in cui anche il vicino Missouri sembrava al di là delle Colonne d'Ercole, dando così il via all'evoluzione del Blues rurale in Urban Blues a metà degli anni '30 - John Lee Hooker è stato il primo (con B.B

I have been fortunate enough in my lifetime to see so many Blues masters in concert including BB, Muddy, James Cotton, John Lee Hooker, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and I also shared a stage with many of the greats such as Albert King (who I opened for on a French tour and who never changed his watch to European time if I remember correctly) also I shared a stage with some of the later Bluesman such as the great Irish guitarist Rory Gallagher and the Robert Cray Band
Murphy Gets Muddy Is dedicated to the memory of Muddy waters and all the other incredible Bluesmen – Howling Wolf, John Lee Hooker and so many others and Blues women such as Bessie Smith who struggled against poverty, racism and incredible odds to create this enduring and beautiful American art form of the Blues which I suspect will live on long after most of us here are gone

Its hit song "La Grange, " about a whorehouse, was allegedly based on John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen." It is still the band's signature riff tune
Despite continued denials by the band, it settled a five-year legal battle with Hudson, paying him $600, 000 after he allegedly proved he held the copyright on the song "Thug." Another copyright suit was brought by a co-writer of John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen, " the alleged basis of "La Grange." That case was settled and sealed
