Hooker, John Lee Bands and Artists Blues Styles


John Lee Hooker took the Delta blues from his native Mississippi - via Memphis and Cincinnati - to Detroit in 1943. Six years later, his solo debut "Boogie Chillen" hit the top of the R&B charts. It was the beginning of a discography that would list over 900 recordings by the bluesman who would be dubbed the King of Boogie. John Lee Hooker died in his sleep June 21, 2001, at the age of 83.
