BROONZY, BIG BILL.
Born William Lee Conley Broonzy, 26th June 1893 in Scott, Mississippi.
Died of cancer 15th August 1958 in Chicago.
Guitar, vocals.
Worked as a sharecropper and lay preacher before his two years national service in the army. On his return he moved to Chicago where he got guitar lessons from Papa Charlie Jackson. Jackson saw his talent and tried to get Paramount, the label he recorded for, to sign him. Eventually, in 1927, they did and he released "Big Bill Blues".
He moved to RCA's Bluebird label and was picked up by John Hammond in 1939 for his Carnegie Hall "Spirituals To Swing" show. Although he played urban Chicago Blues, the public warmed more to his folkier sharecropper ballads and he was soon developing a folk-blues based style that was far more commercial.
By the early 1950s he was touring worldwide and receiving mass acclaim. Folk stars like Pete Seeger were keen to promote him as one of their own but this did little to help his standing in the Blues world. Many saw his fusion of folk and blues as blatant commercialism and him as manipulating the music for his own gain. It's true that he created something that borrowed much from country, folk and blues but itself was none of the three. It did, however, cross the racial divide in America years before rock and roll would with the next generation.
