Years later the two would hook up again in Chicago, where Magic Sam would have a major influence on Magic Slim&#8217;s career. When Magic Slim made his first trip to Chicago in 1955, Magic Sam offered his friend encouragement, letting Magic Slim play bass in his band and even giving the then lanky Magic Slim his nickname. But Magic Slim found it rough going on the highly competitive blues scene and returned, discouraged, to Mississippi to perfect his craft. Demonstrating his characteristic determination, Magic Slim spent the next five years practicing guitar and teaching his younger brothers, Nick and Douglas (Lee Baby) to play bass and drums. Confident in his abilities, Magic Slim returned to Chicago and established himself as a formidable player on the scene.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1967, Magic Slim put his own band together called&nbsp;<em>The Teardrops<\/em>, which included his younger brothers. In 1972, Magic Slim began playing regularly at a tiny South Side club called&nbsp;<em>Florence&#8217;s<\/em>. In the mid-70&#8217;s Magic Slim began to hit his stride as a guitarist, performer, bandleader, and recording artist, launching a career that has taken him across the country and overseas to national and international recognition and acclaim. Magic Slim began touring Europe, where his rough and tumble authenticity was well appreciated. &nbsp;By the late 1980&#8217;s he was also touring Japan and South America. On his first trip to Brazil in 1989, he became an instant hero, appearing on television, in a dozen magazine articles and every major newspaper in the country. Magic Slim recorded many albums and won six times the&nbsp;<em>W.C. Handy Award<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rs-LR9tkkMQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 &nbsp;&#8216;Walking The Dog&#8217; &nbsp;\u2191<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Baby&#8217;s back, dressed in black&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;Silver buttons, all down her back<br \/>\nHigh, low, tippytoe&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;She broke the needle and she can&#8217;t sew<\/p>\n<p><strong>Walking the dog&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;Walking the dog<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> And if you don&#8217;t know how to do it&nbsp;I&#8217;ll show you how to walk the dog<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Asked my mother for 15 cents&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;See the elephant jump the fence<br \/>\nJumped so high, he touched the sky&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;Never came down till the 4th of July<br \/>\n<strong>Walking the dog . . .<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Baby baby, watch your trail&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;How does your garden grow<br \/>\nYou got silver bells, and you got cockle shells<br \/>\nPretty maids all in a row<br \/>\n<strong>Walking the dog . . .<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YMRBqwWPeas\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 &nbsp; &#8216;I Can&#8217;t Hold Out&#8217; &nbsp;\u2191<\/strong><\/p>\n<address>Talk to me baby on the telephone<br \/>\nStop what you&#8217;re doing and &nbsp;come on home<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t hold out, I can&#8217;t hold out too long<\/address>\n<address>I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone<\/address>\n<address>&nbsp;<\/address>\n<address>\n<address>She said, \u00abBaby you can run, you can walk or fly<br \/>\nyou know that I love you, you&#8217;re my heart&#8217;s desire\u00bb<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t hold out, I can&#8217;t hold out too long<\/address>\n<address>I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone<\/address>\n<address>&nbsp;<\/address>\n<address>Talk to me baby, Talk to me baby . . .<br \/>\nI get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone . . .<\/address>\n<\/address>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2666 MS&nbsp;&amp; the Teardrops &nbsp;\u2193 &#8216;I Like The Older Women&#8217; &nbsp;[2012]<\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mYKpWGiTb3g\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I like the older women &#8211; The young women, they just don&#8217;t understand . . .<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">You know the old women, they know just how to treat a man.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">Am I right, baby?
