Hooker began his life as the son of a sharecropper, William Hooker, and rose to prominence performing his own unique style of what was originally closest to Delta blues. He developed a 'talking blues' style that was his trademark. Though similar to the early Delta blues, his music was metrically free. John Lee Hooker could be said to embody his own unique genre of the blues, often incorporating the boogie-woogie piano style and a driving rhythm into his masterful and idiosyncratic blues guitar and singing. His best known songs include "Boogie Chillen" (1948) and "Boom Boom" (1962).

    When I first opened for John Lee Hooker on the road, I walked into his dressing room and he told me that I had to leave because he was being interviewed by the press! I apologized and said, Mr. Hooker the producer told me to ask you how long I should play! He said, Oh come on in son! Play about 45 minutes and lets see what happens! The crowd requested one of my original songs 3 times. Hooker had never seen that! He was very nice to me! He said Son you can play as long as you like when you open for me! I thought that he said that because he was tired! But when I started my second song, John Lee Hooker was standing and watching & listening to every word, every note! Thanks John lee, I love you Buddy!

    @MauroPavanelli John Lee Hooker has had a huge influence on the development of Rock n Roll, if you look at Boogie Chillen (1948), a new rhythm
