Sonny Boy Williamson (John Lee Curtis Williamson, March 30, 1914 — June 1, 1948) was an American blues harmonica player, and the first to use the name Sonny Boy Williamson.



Williamson was born near Jackson, Tennessee in 1914.[1] His original recordings were considered to be in the country blues style, but he soon demonstrated skill at making harmonica a lead instrument for the blues, and popularized it for the first time in a more urban blues setting. He has been called "the father of modern blues harp". While in his teens he joined Yank Rachell and Sleepy John Estes playing with them in Tennessee & Arkansas, and in 1934 settled in Chicago, Illinois.

His self-penned songs such as "Train Fare Blues" and "Welfare Store Blues" inspired bands such as Grateful Dead and Canned Heat and songs from his early repertoire belong to the unforgettable blues classics to this very day.

He recorded some one hundred and twenty records in the course of his career.


On June 1, 1948, John Lee Williamson "THE FATHER OF THE BLUES HARMONICA" was killed in a mugging on Chicago's South Side, as he walked home from his final performance at The Plantation Club at 31st St. and Giles Ave., a tavern just a block and a half away from his home at 3226 S. Giles. Williamson's final words are reported to have been "Lord have mercy".
