DISCOGRAPHY 1952-2025 (89CD)
Elmore James (January 27, 1918 – May 24, 1963) was an American blues
guitarist, singer, songwriter, band leader. He was known as "the King of

loud amplification and his stirring voice.
James was born Elmore Brooks in the old Richland community in Holmes County, Mississippi (not to be confused with two other locations of the same name in Mississippi).
He was the illegitimate son of 15-year-old Leola Brooks, a field hand. His father was probably Joe Willie "Frost" James, who moved in with Leola, and so Elmore took this as his name. His parents adopted an orphaned boy at some point named Robert Holston.....
