Will rep this once I'm reloaded; I was just watching it before. Apparently Tutti Frutti originally contained lines about anal sex, but the record company persuaded him to cut or rewrite them. Probably lucky for him, he was pretty close to being lynched as it was.

Im fascinated by the early Delta Blues men  like Robert Johnson so here is the Great Tommy Johnson (no relation to Robert)

 The band Canned Heat took their name from this track 

Good, Canned Heat are one my favourites, I've often wondered where they got that name,

Never heard that before.  He's got a voice like a slide guitar. Love it.

 

Is he any relation to Tommy "Banana" Johnson ("He's got a giant banana") who occasionally pops up in Viz?
