He crossed paths with the legendary Robert Johnson and learned the now legendary songs such as 'Dust My Broom' and 'Standing At The Crossroads', both of which are featured here. He became known as the \"King Of the Slide Guitar\" playing his modified - electrified - acoustic which he fashioned in his brothers workshop. He began recording soon after, scoring a top-tn R\u0026amp;B hit with 'Dust My Broom' on Trumpet. His final recordings were cut for Bobby Robinson's Fire and Enjoy labels in the late '50s and early '60s. Robinson later recalled, \"I drove by a club on the South side (of Chicago) and saw a sign that read Elmore James Here Tonight. I went inside and stayed all night listening to him. I introduced myself, we went out for a bite to eat and I talked about recording. The next morning Elmore called his band together for a rehearsal. I remember that it was raining all day long, and I said to Elmore, 'Man, it's just pouring down rain.' And Elmore says, 'Yeah, it looks like the sky is crying.' I said 'That's a great idea.' We started writing 'The Sky Is Crying' and cut it there in Chicago with Elmore's band the Broomdusters) that very day.\" It would be Elmo's last chart hit, #15 R\u0026amp;B, before his death in 1963.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"ui-tabs-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/webami.aent.com\/the-sky-is-crying\/5060767441237#mt-2\" id=\"MusicCredits\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ui-tabs ui-corner-all ui-widget ui-widget-content\" id=\"aec-musictabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"false\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-corner-bottom ui-widget-content\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"MusicTracks\" id=\"mt-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracksonly\" id=\"aec-jukebox\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jp-playlist tracksonly\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e The Sky Is Crying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Dust My Broom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e I Held My Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Fine Little Mama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Bobbie's Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e I Can't Stop Lovin' You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e I Done Somebody Wrong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e Rollin' and Tumblin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e One Way Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e10\u003c\/span\u003e My Bleeding Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e11\u003c\/span\u003e I'm Worried\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e12\u003c\/span\u003e Standing at the Crossroads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mt-3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ROCK \u0026 ROLL HALL OF FAME RECORD STORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46485200863401,"sku":"5060767441237-R","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/5982\/5577\/files\/ELMO_JAMES_ELMORE_JAMES_-THE_SKY_IS_CRYING-VINYL_LP.jpg?v=1760645413","url":"https:\/\/shop.rockhall.com\/es\/products\/elmo-james-elmore-james-the-sky-is-crying-vinyl-lp","provider":"Rock \u0026 Roll Hall of Fame Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
