Hubert Sumlin – My Guitar and Me (1975) Fred Below (drums). Sumlin's exceptionally low-key vocals and unexceptional backing by two-thirds of the Aces, pianist Willie Mabon, and rhythm guitarist Lonnie Brooks render this 1975 session pretty disposable overall.

In 1955, Willie Mabon was the first to record it. The jazz pianist and singer Mose Allison released it as a single in 1959 and on an album in 1964, calling it one of his "featured numbers". Johnny Rivers recorded the song as the lead track for his album Meanwhile Back at the Whisky à Go Go in 1965. Also released as a single, "The Seventh Son" was one of Rivers most popular singles.
Willie Mabon. Willie James Mabon (October 24, 1925 – April 19, 1985) [1] [2] was an American R&B singer, songwriter, pianist, and harmonica player. He had two number one hits on the Billboard R&B chart, "I Don't Know" in 1952 and "I'm Mad" in 1953.

To understand how this came about one needs to examine Mabon's career. Born October 24, 1925 in Memphis, Tennessee where he was raised, schooled and actively encouraged by his mother to play gospel music on the harmonica, Willie, however, had other ideas and took more interest in the hillbilly way of playing the instrument as heard on various Memphis based Country- and-Western radio stations.
