It's impossible to overstate the importance of blues music
-
Thank you 60 minutes for helping to keep the Blues alive. Great story.
-
Kingfish is not only a great guitar player, but he's got a powerful voice as well.
-
Saw Kingfish at a tiny venue in Denver a few years ago and he was just phenomenal. Cannot recommend him enough.
-
I'm 37, been playing the blues for over 25 years now! Seeing this story come across my feed, gave me goosebumps, I still have them now while typing this!! LONG LIVE THE BLUES! 💙

I love Morgan Freeman more and more. He, despite his fame, has to be the most down to earth celebrity on the planet. There is much to be admired about that man. He IS a national treasure whose life should be an inspiration to everyone.
-
I saw Kingfish at a bar on Frenchman street in NOLA about 5 years ago - just in a bar with a band, no cover - just folks having drinks. Dude TORE IT UP. I didn't quite know what i was seeing.
-
The blues will never die, it's music we all can relate to.
-
I remember hearing about kingfish a few years back and thinking at that time this kid is incredible! So great to see him getting more exposure globally
-
Blues is life. As long as there is life, there will be blues!
-
When James Johnson says "I hear it and it sounds good to me and I play for the love of it."....thats the spirit that will insure that the blues will live forever. It's not pop music to be consumed by the masses. It's music that reaches out and grabs ahold of your soul and if you're lucky you let it. And if you don't...thats ok, it'll get you soon enough.

Blues started it all. The true foundation of all popular western music.
-
Blues music is played everywhere. It's no where near dying. It's thriving, as always...
-
I can’t believe it took this long for a special on Kingfish. I’ve been listening to him for almost 6 years and have been sharing his music to all that will listen
-
This is the best 60 minutes interview I've seen in quite a long while. Reason being, Kingfish. The young man will only get better! Mad respect!
-
Saw this dude Kingfish open for Buddy Guy. He the blew the Hollywood Bowl away.We have to support the blues.
-
I've lived in Webb, Tutwiler, & Indianola & we used to go to Clarksdale every weekend...Reds & Groundzero are fantastic places to hear real blues music..I miss Mississippi..It has its own beauty with its cotton fields & catfish farms...Long live the blues.
-
I’ve seen Kingfish listed #1 on several “Best Guitar Players” alive today. Quite an accomplishment for a young 24 year old musician from Mississippi, so freakin awesome!
-
I've been a Kingfish fan for a while. He's so talented. Articulate, and loaded with charisma. He's going to be one of the greats!
-
I’m 25 and from Augusta Georgia. Soul music has always been integral. That man kingfish is something special LET ME TELL YOU!! I’ll be a life long fan. May peace and light be upon him!
