John Lee Hooker

John Lee Hooker (1917-2001) was an iconic American blues guitarist and singer from Mississippi, famous for his unique, hypnotic "boogie" style that blended Delta blues with urban rhythms, breaking through in 1948 with "Boogie Chillen" and becoming an international star whose influence shaped rock and roll through hits like "Boom Boom" and late-career Grammy-winning albums, earning him induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
