Sugar Blue (born James Whiting, December 16, 1949, Harlem, New York City, United States)〔 is an American blues musician, who plays the harmonica. He is probably best known for playing on The Rolling Stones' single, "Miss You". An article in the ''Chicago Tribune'' stated: "The sound of Sugar Blue's harmonica could pierce any night... it's the sound of a musician who transcends the supposed limitations of his instrument." ==Biography== In the mid 1970s, Blue played as a session musician on Johnny Shines' ''Too Wet to Plow'' (1975) and with Roosevelt Sykes. Whilst in the company of the latter, Blue met Louisiana Red and the twosome toured and recorded in 1978.〔 Taking advice from Memphis Slim, in the late 1970s Blue traveled to Paris, France. This led to him playing on several The Rolling Stones tracks ("Some Girls", "Send It to Me" and the aforementioned "Miss You"). Trombonist Mike Zwerin backed Blue on his solo debut album, ''Crossroads'' (1979). Following the release of his ''From Chicago to Paris'' (1982), Blue joined Willie Dixon's Chicago Blues All Stars. In 1984, Blue's track "Another Man Done Gone", appeared on the compilation album, ''Blues Explosion''. It won a Grammy in 1985 for Best Traditional Blues Album. Blue appeared with Brownie McGhee in the film, ''Angel Heart'' (1987). Blue's next album ''Blue Blazes'' was released in 1994.〔 It was followed by ''In Your Eyes'' (1995), and ''Code Blue'' released in 2007.〔 He played on an album by Southside Denny and the Skintones called ''Down Too Long'' in 1988.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Southside Denny And The Skintones – Down Too Long )〕 On January 26, 2010, Beeble Music released ''Threshold'', Blue's latest album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sugar Blue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
