ya can't Mention LIL WALTER without adding in MUDDY WATERS or visa versa.....
They were like Lennon n Mcartney or Jagger n Richards....The night Walter got killed in the movie they showed Muddy going upstairs while the one LAST NIGHT I LOST THE BESTFRIEND I EVER HAD played in the background. Though perfect for the movie it was not true but MUDDY went i to a deeeeeep depression, He never realized that without Walter Muddy had a half a sound. Walter was always there, n Muddy was a bit jealous when Walters own career took off.
Walter did witha harp so much for the early to mid Muddy sound..... He was like the rhythm section ......
Sadly Harp, Sax n even piano,s players r disappearing from Blues n pretty much all genres of music
The sax to me can do FAAAARRRR better is some leads ya hear a guitarist do and that HONKY TONK PIANO used by bands like Faces, Humble Pie r gone, I was lucky to see Pinetop n Hubert Sumlin play a BB KING HOB in NYC 2 weeks before Pinetop passed......man that old man could play......
Lots of great harp players around, sadly NOT ENOUGH on stage V

I agree Voodoo. I think a tenor sax is THE blues solo instrument. I love to hear a sax wail. A harmonica can do it to0 with the right player. Dennis Gruenling is one that can do it when he uses a low tuned harp. If you couldn't see him you would think it was a sax playing.

From American Blues Scene:
Whether you're a musician or not, how do you feel about the importance of the record "charts"? On this day in 1952, the song "Juke" by Little Walter went to #1 on the R&B Charts and stayed there for eight weeks. Recorded on May 12th, 1952 and released on the Checker label in late July, "Juke" was the first hit song by Little Walter. No other harmonica instrumental has ever achieved this position in the charts. Becoming a blues harmonica standard covered by artists such as Carey Bell, James Cotton, Paul Butterfield and Big Walter Horton, "Juke" was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1986 and the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008.
Little Walter Jacobs (1930 - 1968) changed the Chicago blues sound in 1952 with his bluesharp instrumental "Juke", spending eight weeks in the #1 position on...

In looking back at some Sun Records stuff, I was reminded of this recording that was one of the first records that Sam Phillips recorded but didn't Make it commercially - just a casualty of the times.

Actually, as Scott Dirk's points out, this is Big Walter.
