Along with B.B. King, John Lee Hooker was probably the most famous and successful bluesman in history. During an active career that spanned more than 50 years, Hooker managed million-selling hits at both ends of his distinguished career, during which his blues covered all ends of the blues experience. Together with the likes of T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins and B.B. King, John Lee Hooker largely created the post war electric blues and left an indelible mark on them.
