Subject: 0621 - Today in Black History - June 21
1990 - Little Richard gets a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
1997 - Patrice Rushen receives an NAACP Lifetime Achievement Award for her
contributions in the field of music.
2001 - Famed bluesman John Lee Hooker joins the ancestors at the age of 83
of natural causes in Los Altos, California. The veteran blues
singer from the Mississippi Delta estimated that he recorded more
than 100 albums over nearly seven decades. He won a Grammy Award
for a version of "I'm In The Mood," was inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 and received a Lifetime Achievement Award
at the 2000 Grammys. Through it all, Hooker's music remained
hypnotic and unchanged -- his rich and sonorous voice, full of
ancient hurt, coupled with a brooding, rhythmic guitar. He sang of
loneliness and confusion. Neither polished nor urbane, his music
was raw, primal emotion.
