How could I have forgotten Johnny "Guitar" Watson?
I rediscovered him today, and the perfect day to so. I listen to and sang along with the songs of my teens, I remembered every song, every word. It made me happy today, a day I was feeling so very sad.
I told David about him, knowing he would remember and he said "I have his album right here" ... of course he does.
Well, I won't forget him again!

Watson recorded throughout the 1950s and 1960s with some success. His creative reinvention in the 1970s with funk overtones, saw Watson have hits with "Ain't That a Bitch" and "Superman Lover".
