ELMORE JAMES' BIRTHDAY - JANUARY 27
most people know Elmore James -- but only through his songs that others later performed and made famous...
most notably:
Done Somebody Wrong - Allman Bros
It Hurts Me Too - Aaron Neville and others
Dust My Broom - John Mayall, Eric Clapton, ZZTop, Yardbirds, Canned Heat, Tina Turner and many others
The Sky Is Crying - Stevie Ray Vaughan (maybe my all favorite blues song)
I Can't Hold Out - Fleetwood Mac
etc etc
and by his unmistakeable slide guitar licks which have been imitated and used every day by all modern electric guitar players
