Some of my Best Friends
Are The Blues

Sam Taylor, Jr.1934 - Jan 2009

While searching the net I found this wonderful video and it really moved me. For those who don’t like Blues may I ask that you to please take a moment to watch the video below.


The late Sam "The Bluzman" Taylor, was a singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music has been recorded by everyone from Elvis Presley and Son Seals to DMX and EPMD. Sam sadly died earlier this year aged 74.




One of the first inductees into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2006 and an inductee into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1995, Taylor built a stellar reputation in blues and R&B over nearly five decades of work, as a solo performer and as a guitarist with Otis Redding, The Isley Brothers, and Sam and Dave.



"He was one of the last of the great bluesmen," said his friend Richard L'Hommedieu, co-founder of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. "He's created decades of wonderful music. It's a great loss."
