Wow!

That's when white America started to get educated about music and culture in general. Thanks Mr.Muddy Waters, thanks Mr. Cotton and the rest of the band wherever you are.These people paved the way for rock, funk, rap, hip-hop and the rest of artists that came right after. Bad thing is that many of them died poor and with no recognition at all.That generation of blues men AND women wrote so many songs that were later exploited by "other" artists. White america should say thank you for the blues.

Those two guys dancing at 1:55 just made my day.

Seen this song done so badly so often. It's a pleasure to watch a tight band and Muddy's showmanship. James Cotton on harp, Otis Spann on the boards and the majesty that is big Francis Clay on drums.

This stuff rocks!! And Muddy could really dance :D.

What's even more amazing is that the crowd was integrated. This was in 1960!

This was in Rhode Island not the South. That said, it is amazing to see a 1960 white East Coast jazz audience enjoying Muddy (and Chicago blues) so much.

The Amazing feature of that crowd, for me, is how in God's name are they not up and moving?!?! I'm mixed race so it must be that 60% European/White blood ain't enough to understand standing still whenever, where ever and whatever music is playing! Peace, Regan

This one of the most outstanding performances of Muddy Waters. From there he kept on kicking ass and no wonder Johnny Winter started producing him the first chance he had. I just can't stop watching this video.

Killer live performance. Kick Ass Band. Muddy at the top of his game. Can't ask for more than that !

You can see here how and why guys like muddy had an everlasting influence on british musicians during the 60s... How can you notlove this?

Otis Spann ROCKS on piano!!! Love Muddy's dancing and the backstage dancers at the 2:00 mark.

Yeah!! This was on the first Chicago Blues album I ever heard and this is the video of it. James Cotton is on harp and Otis Span on piano. Loved the way Muddy started dancing with James! I never knew he cut such a mean step on stage. Hearing this for the first time inspired me to play blues harp.

This needs to be converted to 4k RIGHT NOW! Every second of this is perfection

This video is simply incredible! I'm elated. I am honored to say that I was able to see Muddy live in the early 70's. He was simply amazing. This video rocks!!!

anybody else think that drummer's incredible?

Just saw James Cotton last night in Bayshore Long Island-They played this song, he actually mentioned playing Newport Jazz Festival but said it was 1968! He'll be 80 next month, shook his hand got his autograph on a new CD of his.

The encore is simply one of the best pieces of footage of authentic raw Chicago blues. Thanks for posting!

I listened to that record much more than any other thing in my life.

Great Muddy Waters super super version love it ......!!!

The rock is amazing !!!!! I was born in 1968 and today I sing and play drums in this song whith my band in brazil ,paladinos do rock , long live rock'n roll ,long live!!!! Thanks universe for this possibility.

What gets me is how can the audience sit down when listening to it? I'm not even there and I'm bouncing off the walls. Fifty years later and he's still the coolest man on the planet.

Absolutely of the most valuable videos on KZread.

wow. muddy's is great. and what an incredible band... they play so fast.. like in a kind of trance.

Pine top Perkins played at the river front in nashville a few years ago. sitting in with B B King. they carried this frail old man out and set him at the piano. from there he just rocked the house.

Great song and great dude. It makes my feet dance on their own

wow that was great to see Muddy dancing and doing the cool foot work Great stuff thks

Stunning. Awesome quality too!

Thank You so much for posting this version! He, It, They are so swaggerlicious and COOL! His Mojo got my Mojo all riled up! Peace, Regan

How wonderful is modern technology is it that I can google up one of my favorite arists and songs? I've always loved Muddy Waters and I named my 13 year old Siberian Husky "Mojo" after this song.

I know one thing...Muddy wrote an extremely accessible tune in this one and it just flat rocks..great video and performance...as for PA's, the old days are gone, the new are here and things always change, when i started we didnt have monitors and you just had get ya volume up and "listen" to what was happening all around, for the younger, they have to use the technology that is current, you have to learn the "forest" in which you are walking, respect is something we ALL must find

This was written by Preston Foster and first recorded by Ann Cole in 1956. Muddy made his own really as others who covered it since do it Muddy Waters’ style.

Al Minns and Leon James are the dancers

The piano makes the song, the drums make us tap our feet, the rhythm player keeps it tight, the bass player gives it the groove, the harmonica gives it style and muddy ties it all together into one breathtaking performance. A classic.

Hot stuff! Muddy looks young here compared to many videos I have seen of him. This is my favorite of all his songs.

Ann Cole made the original. Rec in 1956 IMHO the best.

theres this vibrato in his voice thats damn enchanting. its awesome!

This is when black music was utterly profound. Dynamic, deep and exciting. It led us all to a glimpse of the eternal, while affirming our humanity. It made life worth living. Sadly, can't say the same for hip hop and r&b today....

That drummer is a beast.

The bravado and confidence Muddy exudes here is very similar to many rap artists today. Muddy also liked to show off his custom tailored suits and cadillacs much like rap artists today. His labelmate Chuck Berry scored a few hits singing about cars and girls, much like many hip hop artists today. There are clear connections between this and contemporary music if you'd just open your eyes and ears.

Oh God, we need more guys like him. rest in peace king of Chicago!

Thank you so very much for posting this video. Wonderful. This guy was a big part of music history.

I was workin' at Joanna Western Mills Shade Company on Chicago's South Side in 1970 and found out that Muddy Waters was delivering Venetian Blind's right when he was asked to record for the Chess Brothers. I met up with Muddy at a Benefit for Bluesman Johnny Young and asked him if he'd ever worked at Joanna Western and "Muddy replied "Sure did" then he turned to his cronies and replied "they ne ver asked me that one before!"

I love this song. I was ten years old when it was released. My brother introduced this song to me. And of course, Muddy Waters is tops. Thanks for posting this gem of a video.

Top five song ever.

hey greetings from ireland!! i'm also 17 and i love blues and r&b too. its just pure and honest music that makes me feel good when i hear it or play it. and Elwood jones you are damn right, LONG LIVE THE BLUES!! The world wouldn't be the same without it!!

unbelievably good. as usual.

Great video. Guys dancing at the 2 minute mark and then Muddy dancing with James Cotton and shakin' it--priceless!

You kids are bringing a tear to my eye. Long live great music...

I can play this! So proud :) Shame I can't sing like this beast!

This is Brilliant, I bought this album many years ago on vinyl and always wondered what the audience was cheering at when Muddy dances with James Cotton thanks for this, fantatic!

Thank you for this PRICELESS, AMAZING clip! Strange to see him without his guitar and everyone all slicked up, but what a show!

Damned wonderful !! what a mover too..........

I've said it before. I'll say it again. The best. End of discussion. Thanks so much for this posting.

Superb! This is 100% high grade musical emotion, with no artificial stage effects or erstaz visual effects. We still feel the electricity that got every member of that lucky public vibrating.

Fantastic!!!! What a man!!!!

Just fabulous.

Someone asks "What is Mojo?" They need this clip. This clip is all they need.

THIS IS CLASSIC!!!! thanks for posting!!!

Prince of music!!!!!!

this is classic! thanks for this upload!

That announcer is such an incredible dork.

Otis was KICKIN IT, on that paino brother. Muddy was being Muddy! WOW, to been able to be there to see this. !

This is amazing!

Pure inspiration right here, y'all...

I really like it! Great Muddy

Ya know we get so many people like you sayin' this stuff 'bout new music but I gotta tell ya, that there is heaps of excellent new music and musicians out there all playin real instruments.

This is some good stuff, thanks!!

One of the best

Guess how old I is......nope I'm 19..LOL. Tell ya wat though, like you peeps I feel the power of this music. When ya watch him you can see that the music take over and it's like he stops doin' a performance and just lets what the musics makin' him feel come out. I know cos it make me feel like that too. "It makes me dance and feel very happy" that's such a great comment

this is jus awesome

Love this one :) Thanks for sharing :) Annie

finally, i get it. completely wonderful.... mj

Beatiful😊

Thank you I am really glad you shared this information, I will look it up immediately. What a song. I got my mojo working and we know that it wont work on you

six people actively dislike this song. I just don't understand how you could dislike this...

Best video ever.

pure quality!!!

brilliant !!!!!!!!!!

The groove of the rhythmn section had the audience in a trance...Did you see the guy just shaking a chair in front of him with his eyes transfixed on the band...it was priceless.

Marvelous

the best of the word...

amusing and amazing, there are both white and black people here, listening to black blues and white jazz. extraordinary for that time!

Rhythm and Blues: Muddy Waters: "I Got My Mojo Workin'"

A medio metro del microfono, que potencia, que energía...y era el lejano 1960..wow

simplemente el blues es al neta del planeta que incluso cuando lo disfrutas llegas hasta el estasis jeje... algo chingon

Classic performance.

PORRR DIOSSSS Qué groso ese negro!!! Genio total!!! no se puede ser más coo!!

@68lpjr NO DOUBT...totally SOUL-LESS. This is the first time I have heard Muddy Waters....I LOVE HIM.

Awesome.

That, is the blues!!

Omg, great video

I like the lady with the sunglasses.

@jkciv87 The guy doing the introduction is Willis Conover. He was a jazz DJ who was broadcast just about everywhere in the world except in the US.

This was the real Rock and Roll

You're right. I got to play with Buddy once. It was amazing!

Ann Cole recorded the original version in 1956. IMO, the best and she was/is 1 of my 3 fav female singers - she sang sooo good and was so sweet. The 2 other favorite females being Etta James & Patsy Cline.

Quelle époque !

James Cotton on harp...drummer keepin it together..

Muddy Waters Él Más Grande!!!

good song

Now that is the way you play blues.

I like the dancing @ 1:53 in this face pace blues song. Party music.

working and listening to Muddy"s performance.
