Blind singer guitarist from Montgomery, Alabama.
Covers:
Etta James [as Tell Mama; her greatest hit (n°23 US, top 10 R&B) with I'd Rather Go Blind on the B-side; recorded at Muscle Shoals]
Soul Survivors [with Duane Allman]
Janis Joplin [idem, live version on postumous album Farewell Song in '82]
Savoy Brown [idem]
Like Ann Peebles' Come To Mama, covered successfully by Bob Seger as Come To Poppa, Tell Daddy/Tell Mama crossed the gender line in the other direction.
