WIthout any of these guys, we would never have had the Stones, Zep and countless other rock bands.

About this project Sidemen: Long Road To Glory is an award-winning documentary film about the lives, legacies and music of bluesmen Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins and Willie "Big Eyes" Smith. The film is complete and has enjoyed a successful festival run since its world premiere at the 2016 SXSW Film Festival. Though we cleared the music and footage rights to allow us to screen at festivals, we now need to clear those rights to allow for a worldwide release. With your support this can happen and we will be able to make the film available to music and movie fans around the world. In the process you will help to tell the incredible stories of these three remarkable men, preserve an important part of history and maybe, just maybe, help to get Hubert Sumlin elected to the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.

We used to (still may) have Pinetop's autograph.

 

Lily met him at Elysian Fields in Hoboken, in the late 80s or early 90s.  That's as much as I can narrow it down.  I remember I had a performance that night, but I don't remember which show.  

She said he was very kind.  The sig was a little shaky.  He was already gettin' up there.
