Festival’s 90 minute presentation of The Blues on Wednesday night was in a class by itself, a pure television show, entirely genuine, and as such a classic of its kind. Here we had honest people talking sincerely and singing from the heart about something they understand better than anyone else. Such forthright honesty and deep down feeling is seldom to be found in a television show of any kind and The Blues thus becomes something of an historical document. Because it has been said, accurately enough, that such a gathering can probably never take place again, this show is something that should be preserved for prosperity.’

1966: Paddy Sampson, a television variety producer with the cbc, convinced his seniors to bring in an assortment of blues musicians to make an hour-long program to be sponsored by Bell Canada. Sampson is a longtime aficionado of the blues and had done previous work with Brownie McGhee.

Jan. 27-29, 1966: Blues musicians Muddy Waters and his aggregation are brought to Toronto by the cbc and spend three days performing and jamming in cbc’s Studio Seven on Mutual Street.

Although many knew each other, it turned out to be the first time, and last time, these artists would work together under one roof.
