Little Walter (May 1, 1930 February 15, 1968) Although Little Walter might not have been the first person to amplify the harmonica, his pioneering use of the microphone helped establish the modern blues harmonica. With a mike clasped to his harp, Little Walter created echoing, moaning, hornlike sounds that redefined the capabilities of the instrument. Walter Jacobs had fourteen top ten hits on the R B charts in the 1950s including two number #1 songs Juke and My Babe. Little Walter toured and recorded extensively with blues great Muddy Waters in the 1950s. He also recorded with Jimmy Rogers, Memphis Minnie, Otis Rush and Bo Diddley. Little Walters influence was pervasive, especially in England where the next generation of harp players such as Mick Jagger listened to his records over and over. • http://rockhall.com/inductees/little-... • Visit us! http://rockhall.com/ • Subscribe to RockHall : http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • Facebook: / rockandrollhalloffame • Twitter: / rock_hall • Google +: http://plus.google.com/u/0/1154120304... • Check out all the inductees: http://rockhall.com/inductees/ • Upcoming events: http://rockhall.com/events/
