Blues
(Robert
Lee McCollum)
Born
Nov 30, 1909 in Helena, AR
Died
Nov 5 , 1967 in Helena, AR
Of
all the pivotal figures in blues history, certainly one of the most
important
was Robert Nighthawk. He bridged the gap between Delta and Chicago
blues
effortlessly, taking his slide cues from Tampa Red and stamping them
with
a Mississippi edge learned first hand from his cousin, Houston
Stackhouse.
