Prolific blues guitar master John Lee Hooker was known worldwide for his droning, electric guitar-given hits like "Boom Boom" and "One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer", and landmark albums like The Healer. 

Hooker was born in (about) 1917 in the extremely tiny, rural town of Tutwiler, Mississippi -- coincidentally the very same town where W.C. Handy first heard & documented a man singing what he called "the blues" in 1903.

From a very early age, Hooker played guitar, first gaining notoriety for his music while working at a steel mill in Detroit. Hooker's career exploded after he released the song "Boogie Chillen'" in 1949, which became a smash hit. Legend has it, Hooker's timing was so unusual, he often had to accompany himself on percussion by stomping on a plywood board.

John Lee recorded for a variety of record labels, releasing a string of songs before his hit "Dimples", and then the classic album "Hooker n' Heat" with Canned Heat in 1970. In 1980, John performed a song as himself in The Blues Brothers' movie!

John Lee Hooker was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1980, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. He won four Grammy Awards in the 1990s, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000, and in 1997, he was awarded his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
