| biography:
| Musician, born in West Point, Mississippi, USA. A blues singer, bandleader, and larger-than-life personality, he was one of the giants of post-World War 2 electric blues whose songs were a staple of rock's early repertoire. He toured extensively (1955–75), including concert and television appearances with the Rolling Stones in 1965, the year after the release of his only pop hit, ‘Smokestack Lightning’. He was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. |
