My lovely daughter would be 21 now, died two years ago…she loved this song so much she had tattooed “I’d rather go blind” on her arm…I miss her so much all day every day❤

Beth Hart is the most underrated vocalist of all time. her voice is perfection.

The right performer, the right musicians, the right people, the right president, the right decade...
A wonderful moment before the desert of today

I've watched this video dozens--maybe hundreds--of times and it still brings tears to my 80 year old eyes.

[MichaelSimmons]

Beth is one of the best voices in Blues. RIP to Jeff

One of the best performances at the Kennedy Center Honors...EVER.

[larryrogalski]

Absolutely one the BEST SINGERS on the planet!!! Jeff Beck’s sweet, soulful playing just makes this legendary Blues tune amazing!!! So sweet it’ll give you a cavity!!!!

[Chris-krrn]

Jeff could comfortably be on the spotlight, but he could equally make space for others . Always with his unique playing, always to serve music. RIP to the greatest guitar player ever lived in this planet on my opinion

[leathification]

She has remained a phenomenal talent and is grossly under recognized. Her voice is as strong and pure as it was nearly 30 years ago.

[vaughnmiller]

I'm so glad Buddy got this honor. Beth Hart nailed this song for Buddy with Jeff Beck top 5 guitarists of all time...

[halimchandra]

Thing is? Our generation was so blessed by the best Heaven could offer, and Beth Hart is part of that.

Beth Hart is simply a living legend. What a vocalist. She can make you feel any song she sings. Truly one of the greats.

[lyssa]

Made my eyes water. She sang that with a lot of soul

[xaronx]

Song written by Ellington Jordan with co-writing credits to Billy Foster and Etta James. It was first recorded by Etta James in 1967, released the same year.

[seanellio]

This was the same night Heart did "Stairway to Heaven". How great would it have been to be in that audience.

[elisebarthalow]

Beth never looked or sounded better and Jeff Beck was one of the best. RIP Jeff. What a wonderful tribute to Buddy Guy!
