John Campbell (20 January 1952 -- 13 June 1993), blues guitarist and singer, was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, USA.
A supremely talented guitarist who took blues technique to new heights in live performance with a unique modern blend of driving rhythms, staccato riffs and bravura slide guitar sequences. His favoured instruments were a 1952 Gibson Southern Jumbo acoustic, a 1934 National Steel and a 1940's National resophonic guitar.
At the time when his recordings and live performances were gaining him ever increasing popularity and respect, he suffered heart failure, in his sleep, aged 41, at his home in New York City.

Six months before he died his show in Montreal was advertisded on Tv! (musique plus). I been in the Blues for 20 years now(photo,radio,writing,booking,video,promo)
and I have never saw another Bluesman ads on Tv, and just like Luther Allison he died a few months before Blues stardom. Thank you for sharing for future Blues lovers, I hope your video will reach at least 50 000 views. Good Blues to you and merci.
