I am a King Bee, Stones cover

[Jean Pierre]

JP wrote in the topic of Alex " Autumn leaves".

..I have a surprise for you that I will post today or tomorrow

and so here it is!  Alex, I really liked your cover of "Little Red Rooster", a blues by Willie Dixon, covered by the Rolling Stones in 1964.
and this song made me think of Slim Harpo's "I'm a King Bee", also covered by the Stones at the same time in 1964.

"I'm a King Bee" is the first Stones song we heard in France. At the very beginning of the British invasion, we were either a Stones fan or a Beatles fan, rarely both (things quickly changed with the evolution of the two mythical bands).

all instruments was : telecaster HB, precision Bass HB, Dobro Epiphone/dobro, Harmonica Pro Harp Hohner, Drums MTPowerDrumKit

J'avais ce disque super 45 tours ! , 4 titres fabuleux Carol, walking the dog, can I get a witness, I'm a king Bee

En France il y a une chanson de Alain Voulzy (Titre de la chanson Rockcollection) qui dit:

(...).Le pauvre Jimmy s'est fait piqué chez le disquaire, c'est dingue
Avec un single des Stones caché sous ses fringues (...) 

 traduction: Poor Jimmy got stung in the record store, it's crazy.
With a Stones single hidden under his clothes

premonitory weirdness? Brian Jones is not on the same picture as the other 4 Stones.

[Jean Pierre]

thank you all guys

this is one of my favorite songs to play harp on

Actually, I didn't know Slim Harpo...until yesterday ! Intrigued I looked on you tube and found some blues he played in a very typical 60's style with a power chord blues guitar often and a simple harmonica playing (compared to the virtuosos that there are now in this style...but I like it !

Here's an idea of a cover of a Slim harpo blues by the Busted Boomer Band, wouldn't you old guys like it?

...if one of you comes by, give me an answer...
