John Lee Hooker was a legendary Blues guitarist, singer and songwriter whose simple, droning blues patterns and half-spoken singing style helped to influence a new generation of blues musicians. Despite being raised poor and illiterate, Hooker began performing in Detroit-area clubs and was soon cutting records for some of the most prominent studios of the day. Over his career, Hooker released over 100 albums and influenced a generation of young Blues performers, including Keith Richards and Bonnie Raitt. Hooker was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.
