@printer944 The best tribute that one could ever make to Mr. Bailey is to become a virtuoso on the harp, then be able to tell the world, "DeFord Bailey inspired me to do this".
GO FOR IT!

@floydclaptonblues2 Absolutely agree. For the times, Bailey was an unfortunate combination of color & circumstances. I understand that he took it all gracefully (what choice did he have?) and in his own way, turned his back on the music establishment.
-
@moproducer - He also got screwed over by ASCAP back in the 40s because of stupid licensing issues. Another reason those ASCAP bastards should be hung in the gallows.

@jarmbru I know, I've been looking for that one too, and the only version I've heard from Evening Prayer Blues is from Bill Monroe.

DeFord Bailey was an absolute wizard with the instrument, and the very first star of the Grand Ole Opry. Unfortunately for all of us - but especially for him - his skin was considered the wrong color, very soon after the Opry went from a studio program to a performance before a live audience. Whatever effort was made to make it up to him in later years simply wasn't enough.
DeFord Bailey was deprived of a stardom that was rightfully his. Shame on Nashville.
