There is no one better to handle SRV's estate and manage his legacy than Jimmy Vaughan.

Stevie was never in it for the money. He was and always will be the greatest Rock & Blues player of all time 🎸

I'm 100% sure Stevie wouldn't want it any other way than to have his brother inherit his estate.

[lildee]

His brother wanted to keep his brothers music alive and if he makes money off of it that’s ok. Don’t be so critical people.

Obviously whoever made this video knows nothing about the Vaughan Brothers and the enormous loss Jimmie was dealt and the struggle to stop corporate sharks from using Stevies name and likeness for profit, he's protecting the interests of his beloved brother and the image he created for himself. Stevie was so proud of his big brother and he's the best person alive to care for Stevies estate and I guarantee he's not doing it for the money, don't second guess the love of a brother from the outside, and make a video about someone you know about next time. RIP Stevie, miss you

I can't think of anybody better than Jimmy to handle the whole legacy of SRV. I have no doubt that he is the person who loved, cared, and understood him better than any other human, save their mother, maybe...
We will never cease to miss Stevie...
Thanks for keeping care of SRV business, Jimmy.

Stevie wasn’t married when he died so who better to inherit his estate than his brother ? They were really very close brothers. And loved one another for certain. It had to be tough to lose his baby brother. Jimmy’s a wonderful talent in his own right.

His brother was famous first & the band he started The Fabulous Thunderbirds are still going strong without him. He put his career on the back burner, less shows, tours to focus on handling SRV estate and releasing his music, videos unheard unseen. They played together alot. He isn't using Stevie to get rich.

I think Stevie Ray was considered more of a blues musician than a rock musician.

[harryayre]

BTW Stevie was credited with singlehandedly resurrecting the blues from eminent death in the 1980s breathing life into many careers like Buddy Guys. BLUES, get it right, he was played on rock stations but Stevie was pure Blues.

“The world lost Stevie, I lost my brother.” JImmie Vaughan.

[archstanton]

SRV AND JIMMIE VAUGHAN ARE BOTH MUSIC LEGENDS .

[Gratefulman]

Jimmie,
Is the proper steward of his brother Stevie’s estate and legacy. Despite their hard times they had love and respect for each other. Jimmie has matured a lot in the years following Stevie’s death and the loneliness he feels with all his family gone has got to be heartbreaking.

[melodymakermark]

Jimmy deserves everything that comes his way, and Stevie would want it that way.

[bixbyswrath]

At least SRV's money and possessions went to family and not the state.

I'm 57 from Austin. Saw him a couple of times. About 2017 The Bob Bullock museum in downtown Austin had a Stevie Ray Vaughan exhibit. There were many of his guitars, hand written lyrics, hats, straps, pedals etc. All owned by Jimmy. It was cool to up close to see his #1 up close, front and back. The last time I had seen it was in his hands

[benbeard]

Real blues fan know jimmy vaughan can make his own money

If anyone wishes to see a true legend performing a blistering style of blues, watch his performance at El Macambo. I've been playing guitar for over 45 years and consider myself quite accomplished. After watching Live at El Macambo years ago, I literally did not play for weeks. I was completely floored and humbled at the same time. I once read that on the night of the tragedy, Eric Clapton was to follow Stevie. Eric said that he literally forced himself to leave or else he would not have been able to play on the same stage. I fully understand Eric's state of mind. Truly an unbelievable talent and human being.
