Big Bill Broonzy was a far more sophisticated bluesman than he was portrayed, He spent the 's and early forties as part of the exodus of southern born Blues singers that descended on the windy city i.

Chicago and played electric guitar. He worked the theatres and taverns and toured with Memphis Minnie.
