Fenton Robinson
 
Mississippi-born blues guitarist died in November, 1997 in Rockford, IL at the age of 62. A classy jazz-influenced blues guitarist, who was also a good singer and songwriter, Robinson penned Boz Scaggs' late '60s hit, "Somebody Loan Me a Dime" and his own "Tennessee Woman." A longtime Chicago resident, Robinson also performed as a sideman (most recently for Charlie Musselwhite on his 1997 Rough News), and taught in Springfield's "Blues In The Schools" program. You can find many of his recordings, including Somebody Loan Me A Dime, I Hear Some Blues Downstairs and Nightflight, on Alligator Records.
