He was able to create this style of music that is highly valued by blues aficionados but also by the general public in part thanks to Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn and the like.
Very sad to me that he would come up at least initially as unidentified.
It was the beginnings of what would later become electric blues and eventually become rock and roll.
I'm not sure it was a blood relationship. Clarence told me Lonnie had taken him under his wing.
