On January 20, 1973, Freddie King and a tight quartet performed at a TV studio in Dallas, Texas. "It was humming in there," recalls director, Jim Rowley. "Absolutely cooking."
King was 38 and enjoying the adulation of throngs in Europe, especially England. Too soon it ended with King's death in 1976 at only 42 years of age, but he left us a vibrant musical legacy including performances like this one, a stunning example of a blues master coming to triumphant terms with 1970's African-American grooves and 'playing funky'. Tastefully intercut with the performance audio are brief recollections by King of his career as he saw it in 1973, adding insight into the man and his music.
