Biography

Chicago, United States (1947 – 1968)

Little Walter (born Marion Walter Jacobs in Marksville, Louisiana; May 1, 1930 - February 15, 1968) was an American blues singer, harmonica player, and guitarist.
Tired of the generic electric guitar blues of the mid-1940s, Little Walter introduced to blues a new sound by simply combining the use of a guitar amp, mic, and a harmonica; a technique used among harmonica musicians to this day. He made his first released recordings in 1947 for Bernard Abram’s tiny Ora-Nelle label, which operated out of the back room of the Abrams’ Maxwell Radio and Records store in the heart of the Maxwell Street market area in Chicago.
