I was blessed to see Johnny G as we called him here in his hometown of Houston the year he passed. Some of my good friends were playing in the band that was his opening act so I had the honor of being there during his soundcheck. Ive seen alot great musicians and artists over the years from all different genres of music. His skill set was great as Prince, his guitar work was as soulful as Buddy Guy. He owned every instrument on stage as if it was the only instrument he played including the drums
Yall got to help me get this man a movie!! He rocked 5 generations and reinvented his self in every one! damn!! James brown had to take his hat off too this real muthafoya!! Im just saying, gansta of love!!! Johnny i just wanna thank you!! With you by my side i could move a Mountain! I mean you make me wanna holla like tarzan!!! Jgw needs to tata a big screen!!! Lol
At 50 years old I have two regrets in life. One of them is not driving from Wertsburg, Germany about 100 miles to see JGW in concert in 1989. (think twice before yoe say your too tired). The other regret is no big deal.
His skill and talent are mind blowing! I love this guy!!!

I was in Northern California the first time I heard Johnny's Music, I was immediately impressed, influenced, and infatuated with his style, which I, the lead singer of the legendary California Malibus, incorporated into my song delivery.
I remember hearing JGW in 1977, A Real Mother For Ya, I still say as I drive into the Gas Station " give me $2 of low lead" as I chuckle and think of how he allowed to feel the funk that was the soul of the decade.
WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT HIM BACK IN THE '70'S, ESPECIALLY HIS HIT " A REAL MOTHER FOR YA", BACK IN '77 WHEN I WENT INTO THE MARINE CORPS! I REALLY LIKE HIS "AIN'T THAT A B**CH" GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL JOHNNY!
In addition to playing guitar Johnny Guitar Watson was also one of the baddest keyboard players out there and could improvise funk and blues on keys like no other... I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times and he was one of the coolest brothas I've ever met and still my idol today... When JGW autographed my "A Real Mother For Ya" album cover we talked about his music and he said to me "you've got a good ear lil brotha". I always remember that and appreciated his positive words..
JGW makes me remember the good ol' days when it was alright to just go hang with your woman at da club and catch a set or two and get a hot plate of fried chicken, collard greens, black eye peas, cornbread and sip on some old number 7 for $25.00. Man on man. Sang it Johnny!
I grew up listening to JGW is was one of a kind n will always be he was so talented did not get the air play he deserved a lot people did not know the real man until stevie ray vaughn made it big so more races started listening to funk n blues rest n peace johnny love ya
I remember putting on "Funk Beyond the Call of Duty" on my parents record player when I was 7 and thinking how great this music is. I still think it's some of the greatest funk around. RIP Johnny, you have helped mold my musical appreciation.
