While I jumped on that, too, it seems unlikely. Jr Walker and his All Stars was a Detroit band, signed to Berry Gordy and Motown.
Steve Cropper, on the other hand, was pure Memphis and Stax Records: Booker T and Otis Redding. Of course, he may actually be more famous from his appearances in the Blues Brothers movies.
Betcha that's Steve Cropper on guitar. Betcha, betcha.

Really Great! Classic tones!
This sounds like it would be a good companion piece to Choir of Young Believers' "Sedated" (from Rhine Gold).

Allmusic credits Willie Woods as a co-writer so it seems likely it's him but I couldn't find anything else.
Anyone know who played guitar on this? His original guitarist was Willie Woods, but the album's liner notes don't say.

Standard 12-bar blues progression, that's why it sounds so familiar ;)
Next song on today's playlist was Albert King with some blues in the same key and about the same tempo. Nice.

Yes, this song is is at least a few years older than "Black Magic Woman", but both songs are pretty standard minor chord progressions. Cool tune.
Black Magic Woman?? With horns instead of guitar.!! Much slower, and probably pre-dates BMW.

Sitting on a chair, I had to stand up an do a slow dance - the rhythms are really cool (and hot at the same time).

When you hear great stuff like this, you're forced to remember that musicians like Jr. Walker played more than one song.
Thanks RP!

60's Motown at its best. Junior Walker's haunting sax. Fantastic.
I recognized them right away!

This predates The Doors, but that's probably the sort of sound Manzarek may have been going for.
is that Ray Manzarek on keyboards?

This post apparently contained an image that was dragged into the post editor. Sorry, but any text contained in the post after this point has been lost.
