But somehow, the convictions would be a reputation death sentence to anyone else perpetrating those same crimes, but a Black Musician? Nope, simply made him even more popular in the thug admirable Negro Community.
And ignored by the affluent Whites who would flock to his shows in droves.
In my estimation, a one hit wonder with Johnny B Goode.
Nothing of any exceptional musical talent in my opinion.
