Timeline
James Joshua Whiting (born December 16, 1949), known professionally as Sugar Blue, is an American blues harmonica player.
Whiting was born in New York City in 1949.
Taking advice from Memphis Slim, in the late 1970s Whiting traveled to Paris, France.
According to Ronnie Wood, Whiting was found by Mick Jagger busking on the city streets.
This led to him playing on several of the tracks on The Rolling Stones' Some Girls and Emotional Rescue albums: "Some Girls", "Send It to Me", "Down in the Hole" and "Miss You".
He is best known for playing on the 1978 Rolling Stones album Some Girls, and well as his partnership with blues guitarist Louisiana Red.
The Chicago Tribune said, "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."
While in the company of the latter, he met Louisiana Red, and the two toured and recorded in 1978.
Trombonist Mike Zwerin backed Whiting on his solo debut album, Crossroads (1979).
Following the release of his From Chicago to Paris (1982), Whiting joined Willie Dixon's Chicago Blues All Stars.
In 1984, Whiting's track "Another Man Done Gone", appeared on the compilation album Blues Explosion.
It won a Grammy in 1985 for Best Traditional Blues Album.
Whiting appeared with Brownie McGhee in the film Angel Heart (1987).
Whiting joined as a side musician recording with Willie Dixon on the Grammy Award winning album, Hidden Charms (1988).
He played on the album Down Too Long, by Southside Denny and the Skintones, in 1988.
His next album, Blue Blazes, was released in 1994 and it included his version of "Miss You".
It was followed by In Your Eyes (1995) and Code Blue (2007).
Whiting's next album, Threshold, was released by Beeble Music on January 26, 2010.
Writing in the Chicago Tribune, music critic Howard Reich said, "There's no mistaking Sugar Blue incendiary virtuosity. The speed and ferocity of his playing are matched by its inventiveness, with Blue packing nearly every phrase with trills, glissandos, clusters and chords. At times, it sounds as if two harps were working at once... intense, melodically ornate, punctuated by growls and swooping pitches, it's the sound of a musician who transcends the limitations of his instrument."
