Dude, the first time I became aware of his death it was from the liner notes found on his BEST OF CD, the guy died because of that fight.
You need help guy.
No he didn't. He died of coronary thrombosis and there's no evidence the fight was the reason.
Your desire for the fight to be the reason for his death isn't evidence.
Dude, everybody into them blues is well aware of this,...
Little Walter was taking a break from performing at a venue in Chicago when a fight broke out on the night of February 15, 1968 (via OffBeat). He was hit in the head during the fight and went to bed with a headache, only to never awaken again. He was only 37 years old. According to American Blues Scene, the death certificate stated the bluesman had died of coronary thrombosis. This condition is defined by the National Library of Medicine as a heart attack, or basically the rupture of an artery to the heart — nothing necessarily connected to external injury. Police at the scene, who may not have been aware of the bar fight, stated he had died of unknown or natural causes. Some believe Jacobs' injuries sustained in the bar fight only exacerbated the plaque building up in his circulatory system.
NO FIGHT NO DEATH~~~~~~~~~~~
Rookies sheesh~~~~

He died because of that fight, show me something about his death that doesn't mention the fight?
Why even mention the fight at all, well?
Guys shows up at a hospital all guy up, he dies from a lose of blood.
So we ignore the fact he was attack by a thug with a knife?
I knew the story before you posted it. He drank a lot and got in plenty of fights during his life, but didn't die previously from any of them.
Like I said, the fight may have contributed to his death, but the coroner could find no evidence it did. You have no evidence either, just speculation.
So I just heard this song, blues, and it's totally smokin' good. I'm trying to extract it from the radio stations playlist, but its a really small alternative non-profit station and very crude.
When I get the name of it, I'll let you know, and should be any minute now.

I;ve learned a lot listening to him talk about the music.
Tom Mazzolini, Disciple for the Blues
By Corrie M. Anders In the spring of 1980, Noe Valley resident Tom Mazzolini was on tour in Europe with a group of blues bands he was promoting. As the tour concluded, the musicians decided to compile cuts from their live gigs into an album.They were stalled for an idea for the album cover when suddenly an image popped up during a farewell dinner at a restaurant on the Rue Claude Tillier in Paris. Someone suggested getting a photographer to replicate Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, with the musicians subbing for the biblical figures. When the cover was completed, famed blues singer and guitarist Sonny Rhodes occupied the center seat at the table, which also included other band musicians and a crew of roadies. Mazzolini stood third from the right in the position where Leonardo painted Matthew, the Evangelist. His photo placement was just happenstance, says Mazzolini. "There was no deep significance." Still, he indeed is an evangelist -- for the blues. Mazzolini has been spreading the gospel for nearly four decades, as a music critic, as the host of "Blues by the Bay" on KPFA Radio, and as the indefatigable founder and producer of the San Francisco Blues Festival.

yeah, me too (retired and time)
So I tracked it down to a cover of Slim Harpo's Shake Your Hips. There are so many versions of it down by many bands/artists. Can't track down which version, though.

Remember that thread about......Shake......I used one of his versions there.
He has four hits.....that one.......Rainin' In My Heart, Baby Scratch My Back and King Bee.
He's out of that Louisiana "Swamp Blues" school, him, Lazy Lester, Whistling Smith, Silas Hogan, Lightnin' Slim and Lonesome Sundown, all on Excello Records.

I don't think it's slim harpo doing it, though. It's got some really good extended electric guitar.
I may just make a copy off their streaming archive.
