"Spoonful" is a blues standard written by Willie Dixon and first recorded in 1960 by Howlin' Wolf. It is loosely based on "A Spoonful Blues", a song recorded in 1929 by Charley Patton (Paramount 12869), itself related to "All I Want Is A Spoonful," a 1925 recording by Papa Charlie Jackson, and Luke Jordan's Cocaine Blues (1927). "Spoonful" has been interpreted and recorded by a variety of artists. Wolf's "Spoonful" has been acknowledged by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rolling Stone magazine, and the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame.

Yes Mikey it is always good to listen to the oldies - I would be hard pressed to pick my favourite though.
I continue to enjoy reading your birding blog too!
