艺人介绍
by Ron Wynn & Stephen Thomas ErlewineBlind Roosevelt Graves was a Mississippi guitarist and singer who mixed secular and sacred material and cut some entertaining, celebratory party tunes as well as reverential spirituals in the 20s and 30s. He played with pianists Will Ezell and Cooney Vaughn, clarinetist Baby Jay. Graves was also a member of the Mississippi Jook Band, along with his brother — singer and tambourine player Uaroy Graves — and Vaughn. Very few biographical details of Blind Roosevelt Graves life are known. He and his brother Uaroy began playing juke joints in the Mississippi Delta in the early 20s. In 1929, the two brothers cut a number of sides for the Paramount and American Record Companies, which all appeared under Blind Roosevelts name. They would continue to record until 1936. In the mid-30s, the pair formed the Mississippi Jook Band with pianist Cooney Vaughn. The band recorded for the American Record Company in the mid- and late 30s.After leaving behind these handful of recordings, Graves disappeared in the early 40s. It is not known where he settled, nor is his death date known.

- @blueberry(别觉得自己多优越，因为没...)：Le Moise Rossevelt Graves(1909--1962),生于密西西比，蓝调歌手，吉他手。他和兄弟Uaroy（都是盲人）自1929年在paramount等公司录唱片。他在二战之前组建了“Mississippi jook band”。“crazy about my baby”被一些人认为是第一张摇滚唱片。。。
