Bummer. Another living legend lost.

Here are a few of the many videos of Hubert playing with Howlin' Wolf.

One of the most unique and influential blues guitar players to ever pick up a guitar. Bummer indeed.

Sonny Boy Williamson, Sunnyland Slim, Willie Dixon...

With the passing of Hubert Sumlin it's a good time to remember some of the other guitar players - who along with Hubert - created the sound of Chicago Blues. These guys influenced everything:

Willie Johnson w/ Wolf, Robert Lockwood, Jr. w/ Sonny Boy and Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers w/ Muddy and all the great guitar players on Little Walter's records: Louis Myers, David Myers, Luther Tucker, Jimmie Lee Robinson and Fred Robinson.

Now back to Hubert Sumlin:
