112 Howlin’ Wolf (1910-1976) “How Many More Years” 1951

B. B. King and Howlin’ Wolf were double-booked at a Memphis nightclub. King said, “He sang so well till I almost cried…I told Wolf I didn’t want the gig—he could have it…Like all great bluesmen, he sang for the sinners, which meant he sang for everyone” (Moanin’ at Midnight The Life and Times of Howlin’ Wolf).
