Little Walter

Little Walter, born Marion Walter Jacobs (May 1, 1930 – February 15, 1968), was an American blues harmonica player, whose revolutionary approach to his instrument has earned him comparisons to Charlie Parker and Jimi Hendrix, for innovation and impact on succeeding generations. His virtuosity and musical innovations fundamentally altered many listeners' expectations of what was possible on blues harmonica. Little Walter was inducted to the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008 in the "sideman" category making him the first and only artist ever to be inducted specifically for his work as a harmonica player. more »

        One of these, one of these, one of these mornings, darlin'
        You're gonna rise, you're gonna rise up singin'
        Then you'll spread your little wings, your little wings
        And-a take to the ska-da-da-da-dy
        Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, until-a that mornin'
        There's nothin' gonna harm you, girl
        With Mommy and Daddy standing by, yeah

        Pretty little darlin', I said, a-right now
        Don't let a tear, don't let a tear, don't let a tear
        Little darlin', I said, fall a-from your eyes
