Little Walter R&R Hall of Fame film

A brief film about blues harmonica icon Little Walter Jacobs, which was shown as part of his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on March 10, 2008.

The book won the award for "Best Research in Recorded Blues and Gospel Music" from The Association for Recorded Sound Collections, and was inducted into Blues Hall of Fame as a "Classic of Blues Literature" in 2007.
