Bruce Iglauer (born July 10, 1947) is an American businessman and record producer who founded Alligator Records as an independent record label featuring blues music. (wikipedia)
His truly beautiful voice and melodic, understated guitar style contrasted dramatically with the more rough and raucous blues and blues-rock that came before him.
He just loved being on the bandstand. He'd kick the piano bench over and drop to his knees and play ... he was a one-man blues party.
Robert spoke to a whole audience who might never have thought of themselves as blues fans.
He had a smile and a good word for everybody.
He wasn't about technique, he was about feeling.
