- The guitarist and singer Buddy Guy has been playing since he was a boy, and learned from such masters as Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. But at age 87, the recipient of eight Grammy Awards is not slowing down; in fact, what he's calling his worldwide "Damn Right Farewell Tour" is scheduled to run until at least next May, and maybe beyond. Correspondent Kelefa Sanneh talks with Guy about his blues journey. He also sits down with three of Guy's children to discuss the musicianship they've inherited.

One of the last great blues man around and still doing what he was meant to do spread the gospel 🙏 of the blues..long live Buddy Guy.
Buddy Guy is a musical treasure.
Buddy Guy is a 100% Great Talent and Legend. Music is awesome.
Buddy Guy is my musical hero.
DAMN he’s incredible! I was in Chicago 10 years ago and asked the hotel to recommend a place nearby to go. They suggested Legends and Buddy Guy happened to be there that night. It was an amazing experience!!!
Wow! So cool. You were super lucky.
@trekuhl3966, Makes sense to me, seeing as though Buddy owns Legends blue's club in Chi-Town. Why wouldn't he be there & sit in with the band to play a few jams, right? ✌️😉
One Blues Legend!! At his age most people are sitting are their butts watching T.V.
I shoot concerts for a living..... been involved on major acts and such....and till this day i always say Buddy Guy was the best act, most incredible show i have filmed or seen. This was in 1999
Saw him in Houston like 25 years ago, will never forget. He was about 2 hours late and the crowd was kind of angry. He finally came onstage and apologized, he had just taped the Tonight Show and flew back for our show. He said he had never missed a gig and wasn’t about to start now. It was a great show. Legend 1000%🏆🏆🏆
When I saw Buddy Guy in Portland decades ago, he was playing a fancy guitar but what was amazing was the sound, he made it all look so easy and his voice and talent became a new pastime to relish, thank you Mr. Guy for all the notes you have played to keep the world turning with the horsepower of your sound. I still have your red polka dot hat!
My husband worked in radio for years.
Said 2 of the best musicians he interviewed were Buddy and BB KIng. Said they were just plain down to earth nice people.
I went to his book signing many years ago and he was so gentle, shy, and nice! I'm glad he's still healthy and living strong. Happy birthday, Mr. Guy!!
Was in Chicago 2 years ago during the summer, so excited to see if I could catch him at legends, but due to COVID it was still closed ☹️ i was so bummed out. Later that winter it opened up for some shows I heard and I was even more bummed I missed it.... Hoping I could catch him somewhere, sometime before he officially stops touring, I heard he announced retirement but he keeps playing and I have hope he doesn't hang up his guitar till I see him one time ❤️🌹.
Buddy is the BEST live act he Kept the BLUES ALIVE...God bless Buddy Guy!!!!
God Blessed us with Buddy Guy... Excellent blues ambassador and a beautiful human being.
I can’t express near enough how much I love this man ! It’s as if I have known him in all of our lifetimes! 87 years old ! Damn right I love Buddy Guy and tens of thousands of other people too ! TAKE CARE OF YOU! That’s the ONLY thing that matters ❤❤
Just a beautiful man with a big heart. He’s the last living legend of all my blues hero’s. He is walking national treasure. Long Live Buddy Guy!
The music of Buddy Guy makes me happy.
Buddy is the real deal, an American treasure..thank u Buddy!
Love buddy guy, one of the greatest guitar players ever
Buddy Guy just recorded a great new song last year, called “Let My Guitar Do the Talking.” In his mid-80s!
I saw Buddy perform with the Stones at the Beacon Theater in what became their Shine A Light documentary (money says most of the yuppies in attendance at their recent secret album opening show never even heard of his peers and their heroes Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, etc.). A fine statesman of the Blues tradition. The National Blues Museum in St. Louis a great place to learn the whole tradition. Give it a visit!
we are so privileged to have lived in these times! besides his humility and charm, i really got a kick out of the session with his three children. so bright and funny and humble. thank you sunday morning show for these great cultural segments. true gems.
So glad to have him still here with us! Eric, if you read this, what are you doing?! Go record an album together sharpish! Time's running out!
Saw him in 1993 at Toads Place in New Haven CT. Even then, he was an "older legend". 30 years later, and he's still going.
87 Years Young! God bless Buddy Guy.
I never miss a chance to see Mr. Buddy Guy live.
Buddy Guy's voice is STILL strong!
Thank you CBS news for recognizing this renown Blues Man and a big special thanks to public radio and public TV if it was not for them communications Network I would never known about the legendary Buddy Guy muddy Waters howlin Wolf and many more of the Blues greats
Love Buddy. Lets see him go until 100!!
Damn right he's got the Blues.
I saw Buddy Guy open for George Thorogood and thought he was awesome. I didn't know much about him, but walk out the concert really touched by his show.
Amazing Legacy!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤
Legend ❤
On axs television a couple of years ago, I learned that British school boys who were sent off to boarding schools hated the music that they were forced to listen to and play at school, often national or religious genres of music. But back in the day, transistor radios from the USA were playing blues from folks like Buddy Guy and those radios were being heard in Europe. Those young men in boarding schools heard sounds that they had never heard, and it was fun and appealed to them, but was condemned at the boarding schools. So, they would sneak around to listen to and practice playing the music that they grew to love, the blues. The music that came from what they listened to became rock n' roll, and why you can hear the blues in many genres of music. And that's why Buddy Guy was so important to British rock.
Buddy's great! I was in the audience when he played The Jay Leno Tonight Show. Fantastic.
Love him!!!!
Saw Buddy a couple years back. Too fricking AMAZING!
Saw Buddy Guy in Des Moines, Iowa a couple years ago. He was early 80s at that point. I never would have expected a octogenarian to tear through a crowd of a few thousand people walking around with his guitar playing raw blues with such intensity but that's what makes Buddy Guy a legend.
Saw him in March in NC....there's no one like Buddy Guy!
Incredible performer !! Saw him in concert a few years ago and he blew me away. Buddy remains one of the finest guitar players from any genre. 🤘🤘🎸✌️❤️
🎸✌️❤️
There's only one legend... Thank God for Buddy Guy.
Gave us so many great performances! I've seen Buddy at least 8 time's And he always amazes me
A few years ago, I had just had foot surgery. I still managed to see Mr. Buddy Guy at the House of Blues! His show was Amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I've been a long-time Buddy Guy fan.
We saw him most recently September 2023.
His voice, his musicianship, and his humor are wonderful. He may be 87 years, but you would never know it.
Long live Buddy Guy.
CBS Sunday Morning does these music interviews so well, no matter who the subject is. Thankfully, they gave
Buddy the recognition he so deserves.
Appreciate the Legend!
Mr. Guy looks and sounds great!
Saw him at Stern Grove this summer. His guitar playing gives me shivers.
Me him at is club Legends. Beautiful man ❤❤❤
I saw Buddy Guy last month in Macon, Ga. What an experience!!!
Buddy been kept busy playin’ Guitar and makin’ Chillen.
It was really nice to see him this past March. He had Ally Venable and Eric Gales with him. I love the way both BB, Buddy, etc. were/are doing the ktba and mentoring the younger players.
What a legend,amazing musician Buddy Guy ! Blessings dear,keep the music playing ,nothing gives you more life then your craft !
I need to go see him again at Legends ❤️ when he plays you don’t want him to stop 😂 and sometimes he doesn’t until it’s after those hours . He loves what he does. And loves his fans.
Thanks👍🏼🌹
🎂🍰🎂 " Happy Birthday " 🎂🍰🎂
Just UNBELIEVABLE (or what his daughter said!). Heartwarming we’ve been gifted a musician like him! A true legend! Such positive peaceful attitude! Thank you! All the best to you Sir! May you keep going!
When I was in the U.S. Army stationed in Gelnhausen, Germany we took the train down to Frankfurt and first saw Buddy with Junior Wells and the Chicago Blues All-Stars on October 5,1970 opening for the Rolling Stones at the Festhalle. Buddy, Junior and the All Stars were better, by a long shot.
I saw the man at Jones beach in New York in the early 90s. And he still has the same amount of energy. God bless.
Damn right. He still sounds great.
Lightnin' Slim
I LOVE BUDDY GUY ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love his book. Best book I ever read.
Do Love Me Some BUDDY GUY!!! ❤
Buddy Guy is a national treasure.

We're going to see Buddy next Sat in Hot Springs, AR. Been going to see him for yrs! I wish him the best, but I hope to see him again. It's always Great!!
Amazing legend!
His daughter shawnna is a legend in her own right as well.
Absolutely my favorite ❤️💯👍‼️
An American Hero!
True Legend!
Saw him a few years ago. Not only was he incredible and his band incredible, he was wildly entertaining on the mic. At one point he asked the crowd to sing along. A little bit in he stopped and said “is yall for real? I just got back from Japan and they knew this song better than you and they don’t even speak English”. Lmao.
I saw him in Syracuse N.Y. and I want to see him in his HOUSE in Chicago. I love him
Love this!
Just saw him again at thunder valley and he was still awesome to see.
Long live Buddy Guy!!
Absolutely a legend . Buddy , muddy , bb , we’re the greatest to ever do it and get away with it 😂💪💪💪
Not to mention Willie Dixon w/ Leonard Chess. Thanks Jackie Payne @ Blues Heaven❤❤❤ Buddy Guy's Legends is located just down the road apiece from Congress Hotel.

Thank u indeed Brother Buddy!! 🤎🙏🏼🤲🏼💪🏼🔥 I've been a fan. ✅✅
See you again May 1st in Richmond!!!
The last of the great Chess Bluesmen..
I FIRST HEARD BUDDY WHILE WATCHING THE CANADIAN TRAIN TRIP WITH JANIS, JERRY, ROBBIE, RICK AND OTHERS. I HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE. IT WAS LIKE THE NOTES WERE BEING RIPPED OUT OF THE AIR. BEEN A FAN EVER SINCE. ONE DAY I WILL VISIT HIS CLUB IN CHICAGO.
👏👏👏👏👏☺️
A God…❤❤❤
How long has this segment been ‘in the can’? His birthday was in JULY.
What keeps him going? Gigs.It`s what they do.I mean just look at the Stones today,Eric Clapton they're gonna give everything they have got to the blues that God gave them until they cant gig no more.Plain and simple.Keeping the blues alive!
Play Edgar Winter's White Trash Live. Tobacco Road.
Hi
Damn he looks and sounds great, but boy he must have a lot of bills to pay if he's still touring at almost 90. I saw him right before the covid shutdowns and while he's still the great showman, the fingers just don't move like they used to. Love you Buddy, but enjoy your retirement.
No buddy guy..then there's no jimi hendrix
5:02 I don't think so. I i had heard Clapton and SRV first i would have not been interested in Blues. Fortunately as a teenager i started with the really pure early stuff like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Skip James, Charley Patton and worked my way up to early 1940s and 50s electric Blues. Stopped at late 60s, also with Buddy Guy, 1:39 thats Buddy Guy !!! not interested in the high gain noodling he did in his later career.
The blues may have been invented in the Deep South American but THE Rolling STONES perfected the blues
What an outrageous and uninformed comment.
@@SuperMikado282 I guess you don’t like Mick & Kieth
Unless you’ve dripped sweat in the south you’ll never understand
@@123proffittyes they have, Orange Bowl Aug 17, 1988 temps hit 100 F during the show , Mick was glistening on stage from all the sweat
Not even close, man.
