He and his jazz prodigy brother Edgar both shot to fame in their 20s, and though they took different msical paths, they relived their early trio days every now and then--Like on Edgar's Roadwork tour.
Though he will always be remembered for his covers of Highway 61 Revisited, Johnny B. Goode, Jumpin' Jack Flash, and his breakout hit (above) Mean Town Blues, he'd probably say th most important thing he did was producing--and arranging--a set of Grammy Award-winning albums with Muddy Waters that reintroduced him to an entirely new audience.

A true legend. I'm sure he is happy he died while on tour.
G'night Johnny. Nobody could play the blues like the albino man.
