T-Bone Walker
Before Hendrix lit his guitar on fire, T-Bone Walker lit up the stage—literally playing behind his back and doing the splits. With jazz sophistication and blues soul, he made the electric guitar a star. “Call It Stormy Monday” became a rite of passage. Smooth, stylish, and sharp, T-Bone showed us the blues could swing.
