 Magic Sam
The album, "West Side Soul", featured Magic Sam at his greatest potential, covering songs ranging from J.B. Lenoir's "Mama, Mama Talk To Your Daughter" to a magnificent version of the Robert Johnson classic "Sweet Home Chicago'' (which also was intended to be the original title for the LP).
Magic Sam returned to the studio a year later, this time joined by sax player Eddie Shaw from the Howlin' Wolf Band.
Of these, the most notable is the "Magic Sam Live" recording, which contained an early gig performed at the Alex Club, a West Side venue, along with the swan song performance at the Ann Arbor festival in 1969.

As Sam looks at it, "No one ever said they didn't enjoy themselves because they had a good time." Humor, audience interaction and entertainment (all key elements in any of Sam Simon's presentations) are unique ways of helping people to learn, remember and create positive change in their workplace and the personal life.
It did not take Sam long to recognize this, and he extended his pre-dinner performance in a impromptu manner so that he could reinforce the team building that was taking place as a result of his show.

As we have mentioned before, this is the 50th anniversary of the seminal Chicago blues and jazz label Delmark, and there is many a celebration in the offing.
Magic Sam (Maghett) was a great, soulful singer and smooth, glowing guitarist - born in Mississippi but raised on the West Side - who would have become one of the biggest stars of blues if he hadn't died of a heart attack at age 32 in 1969.
There is even a real soul number on the record, "That's All I Need." Sam dominated the '69 Ann Arbor Blues Festival and was on the verge of stardom when his heart gave out.

 Magic Sam CD Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
There isn't much to say about the Sam Maghett story that hasn't been written countless times since his tragic and early death in 1969 at the age of 32.
Everything is laced with Sam's inventive and towering guitar work, and while audibly challenged, his soaring vocals are caught well in the mix, regardless of the three Chicago locations where the recordings were done.
Another four were taped at the Alex Club in November in 1963 and '64 with Sam fronting a larger band with saxes and piano, and the final handful are from a 1968 performance at Mother Blues, again working as a trio.
