Patton was America's Musical Shakespeare, as important as Gershwin or Cohan. He was the inspiration for a young Robert Johnson, the direct progenitor for Hendrix and so many to follow. When found Patton's grave was at the edge of a plantation garbage dump. See Mt. Zion Memorial Fund on Wikipedia. Thanks so much for posting this and for all who serve to preserve Patton's memory and legacy to our country's true cultural wealth.

He is considered by many to be the "Father of Delta Blues" and therefore one of the oldest known figures of American popular music.
