 (August 22, 1912 or 1917– June 21, 2001) 

was an 

American

and guitarist. 

The son of a

performing an 

electric

 guitar-style adaptation

 of Delta blues

 in Detroit

Hooker often incorporated 

other elements,

He developed

 his own 

driving-rhythm

 boogie style, 

distinct from the

 1930s–1940s 

piano-derived 

boogie-woogie

Hooker was ranked 35th

 in Rolling Stone'

2015 list 

of 

100 greatest guitarists,  

and has been cited 

as one of the

 greatest male

 blues vocalists 

of all time.
