Muddy Waters - I Just Want To Make Love To You Lyrics

What's that instrument at the beginning? Is it a trumpet?

Little Walter was out of this world!!!!

Mestre Muddy é ouro - Refino do Blues + Blues

Muddy Waters Little Walter Jimmy Rogers I just wanna make love to you 1954 on Chess Records NOT this version?

Pure blues and soul right here

Freaking outstanding. Thanks for the upload

Always thought this song was done by the Rolling Stones first... go figure!

Big Walter Jacobs - schauerlichst höllisch genial !

Little Walter.

@Willie Lee Walter Jacobs : Blue Midnight

I don't want you to be no slave
I don't want you to work all day
I don't want you to be true
I just want to make love to you

I don't want you to wash my clothes
I don't want you to keep my home
I don't want your money too
I just want to make love to you

Well I can see by the way that you switch and walk
And I can tell by the way that you baby talk
And I know by the way that you treat your man
I wanna love you baby, it's a cryin' shame

I don't want you to bake my bread
I don't want you to make my bed
I don't want you cause I'm sad and blue
I just want to make love to you

Keith Richards, documentary brought us here . I’m glad I didn’t fall asleep watching it wow ! Real blues y love it , these guys Willie Dixon , Howlin Wolf , Muddy waters etc they’re great !

Jacobs and Spann make this song one of the all time classics

Mega Spirit

Great song too bad all they got were Cadillacs!!

WHAT A SPLENDID SONG!  REAL MUSIC...MUDDY WAS THE MAGICAL MAN...WITH A HOTTTTTT BAND!

Lyrics from the middle verse "Tell by the way that you switch and walk..." were used on The Violent Femmes' "Gone Baby Gone" track from their debut album. Willie Dixon was credited as a co-composer for the song lyrics used.

So

Howlin' in the dark blues harp.

Among the zillion covers: Tom Petty, who was doing this live on his 1995 tour. So, I put a performance by him and this sublime 1st EVER recording in my "petty..covers.." playlost.

This is my kind of love song!

OMG, this was the song that was playing over and over in my mind
when I first saw Greg Lake perform "Still You Turn Me On" at the 1974
California Jam, lol. If I had to be stranded on a desert island for the
rest of my life with only ten records to listen to then this would definitely
be one of them! :)

Lucky you

wow, the blues, what a perfect music!

juan roberto Navarro hi míster morrison.time no see you.

Oh gosh.  Willie Dixon wrote a ton of songs, some for himself, some for others.  This song is a classic.  It is probably the most covered Dixon song.  My first encounter of this tune was when my older brother brought home the first Stones album.  I am reading the credits, and Willie Dixon is listed as the writer.  Who in the heck is Willie Dixon and what is his connection with the Stones?  It took education from my brother and research on my own to realize who the real blues masters were.  Thank you Bro, and thank you Rolling Stones, for helping me discover real American Blues.

And by the way, the Stones tune "2120 South Michigan Ave" was recorded at Chess Records as their personal tribute to those masters.  My younger brother and his wife went there a couple of years ago, and got the grand tour by Dixon's grandson.  It is on my bucket list to make my own trip.

"I don't want you sad and blue, I just wanna make love to you!"

Willie Dixon was from Vicksburg, Ms. and he had other songs stolen from him by Led Zepplin.

Zep stole from everybody. Or should I say, Led Zeppelin was "influenced" by everybody. BTW, several hours ago they were found not guilty of ripping off the intro to Stairway to Heaven from Taurus (from the band Spirit). It was a toss up, but I thought that they would lose.

Nope, Dixon took time machine, gone to UK, stole the lyrics, came back in US and he became popular. Time machine, you're little devil.

I wish he came by my house and swept me back to his time and place, to learn from those Blues Masters.

@Marko Medić ..No Mr. Dixon wrote his songs. His talent was not stealing songs from others but writing songs that were/sold or stolen by others. Check the History. Thank you.

Friday... ;)

Little Walter on that

Yeah Lil' Walter wailin' on that harp. Damn Chess Records was something else back in the day.

Some of the best chromatic playing I've ever heard on a record, put it that way. And I listen to a lot of blue harp. Just perfect fills and dynamic range.

Muddy Waters is one of my favorites, my mother when I ran with her; hung out with her when I was a baby , about 7 or 8, she had to do things she didn't want to do for us to survive....I remember listening to MUDDY WATERS, I AM A YOUNG BIRACIAL WOMAN WHO IS INTERNATIONAL, RAISED IN SOUTHERN TOWN, BY A POOR BLACK WOMAN WHO WAS ENTERTAINED BY A HANDSOME WHITE MALE JUST SNEAKING AROUND WITH A POOR, BLACK, BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE WOMAN....I LIVE MUDDYWATERS , VERY UNIQUE ARTIST, I LOVE HIM, HE REMINDS ME OF MY MOTHER'S STRENGTH, OUR SURVIVAL, MY LIFE TODAY, SURVIVAL YESTERDAY BECAUSE I AM , MYSELF UNIQUE!!! YOLANDA SUE JOHNSON DE' BRUCE.

youngons listen to muddy ijust want to make love to you now that a rappin bro

I challenge any person on the planet to inform me of a better blues artist!

buddy guy

What about stevie ray vaughan?

Yeah, let's have it right - Muddy Waters ain't the anyone else of anything. The Beatles and the Stones owe everything to Muddy Waters and Carl Perkins.

for me it would have to be Lightnin Hopkins

Memphis Tennessee And Mississippi Stand Up 💯

Kinda like this version better to the re-release in the 90's

+jeannine abbott This version is by far the best version...it's raw, the recording is open & not crowded with too many sounds...& ticks away at a nice slow pace !

I JUST WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU JEROME!!!!!!

Wow... They just don't make 'em like this anymore

No one will ever sound like little walter.... ever.

MTV & VH1 had to resort to squeezing out "Real World" crap & done away with music, because there isn't enough singer/song writers today ...just recycled poptarts.

don't matter when ur born. just as long as u know the roots. and the roots of those roots

oh beutiful, happy birth day Muddy Waters

Foghat's version was a cover. This came out in 1954, but Foghat only formed in the 70s!

good music today? oh yes..1 % of all music made in this era it`s great...but back in the days 90% was great..and 10 bad..so your comment with 180 thumbs sucks

WAIT a just damn second. Who the hell sang this first?! Muddy Waters? Then did Foghat do a cover? Or did someone sing this even BEFORE waters?

Although Willie Dixon wrote this, this is the 1st EVER recorded version. The Rolling Stones were doing this long before Foghat!

i hear ya!...and it's ridiculous to imply all music is shit today, cause I buy great records every year. it takes a little effort to look around for music, but I live for music, and it's fun to explore...it doesn't help that MTV doesn't play music, fm radio plays the same music over and over....i discover great music new and old all the time. word! lol

Oh yeah! @1:10 it just burns with such a matter of fact sexy riff and grind.

Haha! What a sneaky picture. Mm, great tune , dirty harmonica !

Agreed, but u have to admit that today's mainstream shitty music is crippling people's minds & tastes, that's why trash labelled as "art" is constantly thrown at us & made popular by a braindead mass, i think that's what ppl mean by "the music made today is shit", sometimes, the music some ppl listen to amazes me, it's fundamental crap like it's not even a matter of tastes, but i guess they just don't know any better tunes. It's kinda sad, though.

YES IT IS ¡¡¡¡

I know it's 1 year old but damn, you're as right as it gets. Cheers bro! You nailed it.

no shit, i hate when fucking kids say that stupid crap.

gosh who remebers willie dixon? i sold the records i had of him coz i needed the money but i keep regretting it whe i hear stuff like this. it's not willie but it's good shit anyway!!

little walter them men kick some ass had lots of fun.

The Shit!

True Dat :-)

Let's hear if for Little Walter!
I loved a movie that came out a couple of years ago, Cadillac Records (drama about Chess Records) - little Walter was kind of a half crazy, badass type of guy. You may have seen it - if not, I consider it a must-see.

@boatsandhoes000 Muddy did... Etta did it in 61, Muddy in 54.

2 people are virgins

@carlomartini86 u idiots are missing out on alot

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes bluesmen got something to say. idiots have to say something

@MistyMorning60 From Today:Tracy Chapman, Beyonce Knowles, Adele has potential, Lenny Kravitz, Chris Cornell, Jerry Cantrell.

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes Dude, your comment was simply awesome.

@MistyMorning60 Well, i think we all agree that those artist are brillaint and legends in their own right, that is why i named them. Yes, i think I could, but I won't, not because I can't but for the same reason the question is stupid. Ignorance and narrowmindedness. and these sweeping statements that you make just aren't true.

@nuudory Well, not to be rude, but I think that you’re looking back at past eras with a rose tinted view because of nostalgia. As, they were also big problems back then, but that would be getting away from the music.
I also think that the era we live in now isn't that bad, and it is what we make of it. As because of digitalisation, we are able to talk, share views and opinions and it does also allow us to access music and culture that in previously we wouldnt of been able to.

@CPedersen16 That is a fair comment, and I understand completely, and in fact agree with it. The thing i found annoying about those who say that was to appear 'cool' in some way. Or make sweeping statements about all music made today being dreadful and lacks any emotion or feeling.

@stegg17 ...listened to harmonica for 40 years, and I agree...it's the best ever.

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes i think the reason complains about the artist today compared to the past is.. We can't go to any Jimi Hendrix concert.. we can't go to any guns n roses concert(real gnr) we cant go and watch many of the greatest artists live, and thats what i envy :/

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes well said...lemme add to that. the fact that someone discovers it now is all that matters in the end right? it is all there to be discovered whether you are 14 or 94.

BEST HARMONICA SOLO EVER

@hitthatperfectbeat Fred is really good

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes Amen bro

Can someone give me a name of a bad old delta-bluesman?

Honey Green dunno if you’re still around but I liked charley Patton a lot

the Smith version is the best.

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes Instead of bitching why don't they DO something about it... I write music everyday,

@southwriter Back then you had to be discovered, then signed, then recorded, then pressed into vinyl, then distributed, then bought by smalltime record shops, then bought by people who took a chance with no preview of the music. The fact that this stuff was out there is a miracle in itself. Now you can go on any number of music sites and find plenty of artists who are light-years better than the mass produced crap on the radio station (yes i said THE cuz their might as well only be one)

@southwriter How? My entire response was that this music was just as hard, if not harder, to find back in its time as good music is now. This was out in the 50's, but a vast majority of America was not aware of it, just like good music is around now, but you would never know if you didnt really look hard for it. I guarantee not many record shops carried Muddy Waters in the 50's. You had to mail order it. Now we have the internet and you can find awesome unsigned artists.

@scottelliottmusic You last sentence just proved my point.

@southwriter You just dont know where to look....or are to lazy to try. This stuff would have been harder to find in 1954 segregated America than you'd imagine. It was more popular in England than anywhere else. Thats why the Brit rock bands were sooo much better. Brits still have better taste in music today. Americans just like their music like fast food, total poison engineered to trick your brain into liking it from the first exposure and obnoxiously accessible.

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes at last someone has said it.

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes TRUTH

wow great sound quality awesome THANKS

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes There is NO good music today, unless it's in jazz.

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes
THANK YOU for posting this. I've been getting tired of the same thing (born in the wrong era, etc)

Little Walter on harmonica, right?

@jessegguitar not to sound retarded but, I KNOW!! Rock on :p

I'm 26 years old, and have loved oldies since I was 12. I will take oldies any day over the crap that's played mainstream and underground. I LOVE this music!!!

@ckstarlet hahahaha....i just said the same thing about Etta James' version. As a woman...I thought hers was a little bit sexier and seductively paced for sexy dancing. This one is a bit too slow for my tastes, but I still love it and could make my guy go wild dancing to this as well!

- he don't want your opinion - he jus' wanna butter your bread & take yor' Shiela to bed! Now gimme summa yor money...

@suitman36 Total awe would've been right...what an experience you can share with your kids and grandkids.

when i was a teen I used to be fond of saying " The English classic rock bands took American blues and improved upon it ! " I was so wrong then . This kind of music cannot be improved upon .It is perfect in every way . Muddy , Howlin Wolf , Lighnin Hopkins , Leadbelly , that is where its at . ( And yes I still love the classic rock bands )

@JoshuaEdHarryStokes

Nope... you get the best of both worlds. The few good bands of today and all the good bands of yesteryear.

Such an atmospheric recording.

@RustyChesterton foghat is bland

"i was born in the wrong era"
"the music made today is shit"
Honestly, shut up? Isnt i better that you are born now? You can look back and appreciate the music but also do the same with some of the great music made today. Yes there is some rubbish music made today, but there was to back then. Not every artist was as good as Muddy Waters, BBKing, Etta James or others. its just that the bad ones were forgotten, or even worse, remembered for being so bad.

I love metal but i just can't ignore how awesome muddy waters & his kind are

@hardrockerdave94 now You're 16 and I'm 15 and I completely agree with You

hahahahaha the chick better b playing the harp too

@Lewbert They did with some of their earlier hits.

Foghat's version is better.

Sinister Gerbils
Hell yeah
But lots of respect though

@funnycarrot That's kinda weird since she's been resting in Lincoln National Cemetery since 1972, But hey, who am I to judge.

@Blusician1965 NO I KISS YOUR MOM THO! BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@funnycarrot Hey tough guy, do you kiss your Mom with THAT mouth?

One Person doesn't want to make love to you. lol

@ckstarlet :hahahha that's what I said when I heared Cliff Richard sing this song,

@captainblewhard ty

@ckstarlet Youre Damn Right

@funnycarrot The only reason that carrot is "funny" is because you shoved it up your ass 500 times.

@captainblewhard Hey, I didn't mean anything like that, I just mean musically speaking.

@hardrockerdave94 fuck you noone cares what age you are you turtlefuck
