Skip James at Newport, 1966. The guy in the right foreground (you’ll know him when you see him) is Howlin Wolf. Comments on YT are various in their interpretations Wolf’s demeanor: some describe it as awestruck, while at least one imagined Wolf as “bored”.
I think the problem is with the camera: after the first minute, the composition of the scene seems to be more about “Howlin Wolf watching some far-out country boy laying it down, old school”, than it is about taking any close interest in “Skip James”.
James recorded the original Devil Got My Woman in 1931 (along with 25 other sides, only 18 of which are known to have survived, in some cases only one or two copies of the originals are known) and then disappeared into almost complete obscurity for thirty years. He was traced and rediscovered by John Fahey and friends in 1964, and showcased along with (also recently turned up again) Son House at Newport, then recorded several albums for Takoma and others. He performed to the rekindled folk / blues audience until his death in 1969. For all his 1931 recordings are revered, however, there isn’t a huge number of covers of Devil Got My Woman out there, and it’s never been what you would call a hit.

The tune did inspire, amongst other things, John Martyn’s I’d Rather Be The Devil (Solid Air, 1973). This clip of Martyn doing it live on OGWT is incomplete, but seems to be the only copy on YT at this point, and what there is, is stunning.

Devil Got My Woman also became a kind of fetish recording deep in the heart of Ghost World (Zwigoff, 2001). Enid (Thora Birch) asks Seymour (Steve Buscemi) if he has any more records like it. “There aren’t any other records like Devil Got My Woman“, says Seymour, and he is quite correct.
