What a soulful voice love listening here in the U.K a legend Sir RIP Grandpa

I always went to see when I came to New Orleans him and I would sing together and was most enjoyable times of my life. I will miss him.

What a man and what a voice. I loved Granpa Elliot and played stand by me when I lost my brother which he loved. He will live on with playing for change who I know will miss him but they´ll carry on his legacy. I wish I´d had the fortune to meet him and the rest of them but he will be in all our hearts forever. Fly high and god bless Granpa

Many years ago, I sang Stand by Me with Grampa Elliott one hot September afternoon on Rue Royal. I will never forget that wonderful experience. REST IN PEACE, GRAMPA!

to the USA, his music is smiling music soul searching but good. You made many people smile, thankyou sir. Your soul is with God you songs on earth.

You touched so many people that you don't even realize. My granddaughter (1 1/2 yrs old) has a thing for you. Any time you pop up on the TV she stops everything and is glued to watching you. We all love you.

Rest with the angels Grandpa Elliot... I would have loved to have met you and hear you play.. But maybe in the future I can sit with you and hear you play.. Your friend from Canada.. Brenda G

I just recently found out about Grandpa Elliot’s death. I’ve grown up listening to his songs on the regular-as my old man is his biggest fan. If someone has his families contact info I would love to get in touch.

Keep the pot of coffee on, Elliott. I'll be along, after a while, and we can talk some more.
