Here's a treat we found Youtubing for Muddy Waters clips today and came across this gem of a clip from a 1970 documentary on Chicago Blues. Not only does this clip include Waters singing "Hoochie Coochie Man" with Buddy Guy on guitar, but there are talking head segments included where Waters not only embraces his status as the founder of the Chicago Blues style, he does so matter-of-fact and without ego. In a second segment near the end of the clip, Waters explains the elements he feels are essential to being a bluesman. Simply an amazing clip.
