About Blind Lemon Jefferson

  • Lemon Henry "Blind Lemon" Jefferson (September 24, 1893 – December 19, 1929) was an American blues and gospel singer-songwriter and musician.
  • He was one of the most popular blues singers of the 1920s and has been called the "Father of the Texas Blues".Jefferson's performances were distinctive because of his high-pitched voice and the originality of his guitar playing.
  • His recordings sold well, but he was not a strong influence on younger blues singers of his generation, who could not imitate him as easily as they could other commercially successful artists.
  • Later blues and rock and roll musicians, however, did attempt to imitate both his songs and his musical style.
