艺人介绍
by Cub Koda & Stephen Thomas ErlewineJohnnie Temple is one of the great unsung heroes of the blues. A contemporary of Skip James, Son House, and other Delta legends, Temple was one of the very first to develop the now-standard bottom-string boogie bass figure, generally credited to Robert Johnson. Born and raised in Mississippi, Temple learned to play guitar and mandolin as a child. By the time he was a teenager, he was playing house parties and various other local events. Temple moved to Chicago in the early 30s, where he quickly became part of the towns blues scene. Often, he performed with Charlie and Joe McCoy. In 1935, Temple began his recording, releasing Louise Louise Blues the following year on Decca Records. Although he never achieved stardom, Temples records — which were released on a variety of record labels — sold consistently throughout the late 30s and 40s. In the 50s, his recording career stopped, but he continued to perform, frequently with Big Walter Horton and Billy Boy Arnold. Once electrified post-war blues overtook acoustic blues in the mid-50s, Temple left Chicago and moved to Mississippi. After he returned to his homestate, he played clubs and juke joints around the Jackson area for a few years before he disappeared from the scene. Johnny Temple died in 1968.
