Back


Chicago blues icon Little Walter was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Monday, March 10th, 2008. This is the complete induction ceremony: the 2:00 minute Tribute to Little Walter film, followed by musician Ben Harper's induction speech, then James Cotton performing both of Little Walter's #1 hits, "Juke" and "My Babe", accompanied by Paul Schaffer's Late Night Band, and featuring Ben Harper on "My Babe". UPDATE: For those who are interested in learning more about Little Walter, including the answers to some of the questions posted in the comments section for this video, pick up the award-winning biography of Little Walter, "Blues With A Feeling - The Little Walter Story". The book won the award for "Best Research in Recorded Blues and Gospel Music" from The Association for Records Sound Collections, and was inducted into Blues Hall of Fame as a "Classic of Blues Literature" in 2007. The book is available at Amazon.com and most major book sellers. For more information about Little Walter, including a link to buy the book, go to http://www.littlewalter.net.
