Little Walter (May 1, 1930 February 15, 1968) Although Little Walter might not have been the first person to amplify the harmonica, his pioneering use of the microphone helped establish the modern blues harmonica. With a mike clasped to his harp, Little Walter created echoing, moaning, hornlike sounds that redefined the capabilities of the instrument. Walter Jacobs had fourteen top ten hits on the R&B charts in the 1950s including two number #1 songs Juke and My Babe. Little Walter toured and recorded extensively with blues great Muddy Waters in the 1950s. He also recorded with Jimmy Rogers, Memphis Minnie, Otis Rush and Bo Diddley. Little Walters influence was pervasive, especially in England where the next generation of harp players such as Mick Jagger listened to his records over and over.

Where the heck do I get "Juke" played by Little Walter. It's a lots of other people but I don't see the Walter playing "Juke". Did I miss something?

Ben Harper does not suck. It was a honor for Ben Harper to present. Ben Harper is the real deal. They weren't up there to upstage Walter. They were there to HONOR Walter. I couldn't agree with you more about not having Rod Piazza playing harp. Rod is a true Walter deciple. AND a great Blueman in his own right. Music is very subjective and I though, all in all, it was alright. But, that's MY subjective opinion.

You gotta get that this isnt the little walter band... I think its great that they played this tribute for him. When it all comes down to it, its all good music, i enjoyed it. Cotton isnt as a good as he was in his day, but i bet he's better than just about every other Joe Schmo Harp player out there...he has soul in his playing... so give him a break. walter was a legend, and a true pioneer of Blues Harp R.I.P

Ben Harper has NO business playing Little Walter or being the presenter. He can't touch Little Walter.

Ben Harper- YOU SUCK! Little Walter is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and James Cotton is stepped on by Ben Harper! I guess Rod Piazza, Jerry Portnoy, Steve Guyger, Darrell Nulisch and countless other HARP PLAYERS couldn't make it. Don't get me wrong, James Cotton was awesome in His day, but too old to compete with Ben 'Fat Head' Harper. Ben Harper does a Little Walter song? He's not even a harmonica player, but manages to completely butcher Little Walters hit.

The only reason I ever bought a harmonica was to play "My Babe"! RIP Little Walter.
