John Lee Hooker

The Father of the Boogie Blues, John Lee Hooker created a hypnotic one-chord groove style unlike any other musician. His Boogie Chillen (1948) sold over a million copies and established a career spanning seven decades. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991, Hooker collaborated with Carlos Santana, Van Morrison, and Bonnie Raitt, winning his first Grammy Award at age 72 in 1989.
