82 Lonnie Johnson (1889-1970) “Tomorrow Night” 1948

“Johnson was one of the first great single-string jazz guitarists.” After recording his hit “Tomorrow Night,” he ended up as a janitor in a Philadelphia hotel. He was rediscovered, playing in a reunion concert with Duke Ellington and “Gained a new, young audience during the ‘60s folk/blues revival” (The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz).
