B3bluesman59 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hubert Sumlin, the longtime collaborator with Howlin' Wolf whose unique playing on such songs as "Wang Dang Doodle," "Spoonful" and "Back Door Man" influenced generations of guitarists, died Sunday of heart failure in New Jersey. He was 80. The funeral for Chicago blues great Hubert Sumlin, the longtime guitar player for Howlin' Wolf who died Sunday at age 80, will be paid for by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.

ProfD Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Beyond Howlin' Wolf's voice, Hubert was definitely the signature sound in his music. RIP Mr. Sumlin.

Joe Muscara Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 What was really cool was these past few years, he played with quite a few people and got some well-deserved attention for himself. I also think he had a great time doing it! [video:youtube] "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!
