Chief Eddy Clearwater has passed away, as a matter of fact, I did see him perform at what was largely a BBQ place with a nice bar. His big hit at the time, was "Bad Mama Jama".
--- Quote ---Bluesman Eddy Clearwater dies of heart failure at age 83
CHICAGO — Chicago bluesman Eddy Clearwater, lauded for his guitar playing and flamboyant showmanship, has died of heart failure.
Alligator Records announced Clearwater, 83, died Friday in Skokie, Illinois.
Known as "The Chief," Clearwater was born Edward Harrington in Macon, Mississippi. A self-taught guitarist, he began his career in Birmingham, performing with gospel music groups, including the Five Blind Boys of Alabama. After moving to Chicago in 1950, Clearwater drifted into the blues, making a name for himself as Guitar Eddy.

You can find pictures of him in a headdress, I guess he wore that some times. Rest In Peace.
