Little Milton - jazzboCR - 22-12-2014
Covered briefly here from a guitar perspective: http://www.music-discussion.com/showthread.php/16501-top-100-blues-guitarists ( on P.1, scroll down to near bottom). He was better known as a singer but he was much more than just performer--record label owner, manager, talent scout (Fontella Bass and Albert King have him to thank), all 'round Mr. Music. Here's a Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Milton << don't think he made it to here but you never know: http://www.maplandia.com/united-kingdom/england/south-east/oxfordshire-county/little-milton/little-milton-google-earth.html#map << Love these Google Earth 3D maps
Even got a Website run by his copyright holder/record co./fans: http://www.littlemilton.com/welcome.html
