Remembering John Lee Hooker on his birthday

I became a fan of the late, great bluesman John Lee Hooker through Led Zeppelin. Zeppelin woujld add bits of "Boogie Chillen'" on their live versions of "Whole Lotta Love."  When I saw Robert Plant when I was 17 he pretty much sealed my fate as a JLH fan when he covered "Dimples."

The original "Boogie Chillen'" ,,,,

I am grateful for the rockers for turning me on to John Lee Hooker because it made me seek him out and actually see him perform before his death. However, this post isn't about the ones that lead me to this musician. It is about the musician John Lee Hooker.

Here he is with "Dimples"...

Here is John Lee Hooker live in the 60's with "Boom, Boom"
