"Spoonful" is a #blues song written by #WillieDixon and first recorded in 1960 by #HowlinWolf. Called "a stark and haunting work", it is one of Dixon's best known and most interpreted songs. #EttaJames and #HarveyFuqua had a pop and R&B record chart hit with their duet cover of "Spoonful" in 1961 and it was popularized in the late 1960s by the British rock group #Cream.

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a #blues artist on this list, and oh boy what a pick!
#HowlinWolf is a true-blue, American classic. Born in poverty in sharecropper Mississippi as Chester Burnett. Broken home, raised by grandparents who beat him for no reason. Bought his own guitar with his own money, the happiest day of his life. Learned the blues from pioneer Charley Patton. Inspired by Blind Lemon Jefferson, Ma Rainey, and Sonny Boy Williamson, among others. #music (cont)
