John Lee Hooker
Boogie king put the funk in funky
"I’m the first person that really got the boogie goin’. Everybody now is boogie-this and boogiethat, but I am the original. And the word comes from Boogie Chillen. When Boogie Chillen first came out, everywhere you went you would hear that, ’cause that was a new beat to the blues then. And that was the boogie. And then it laid dead for years and years and then I revived it..." ~ JOHN LEE HOOKER, 1979 interview with Living Blues Magazine ~
