He Created The First Electric Blues Guitar Hit—And You've Never Heard His Name In March 1939, Floyd Smith improvised "Floyd's Guitar Blues" with Andy Kirk's orchestra—the first hit record to feature a blues solo on electric guitar. He influenced Chuck Berry and T-Bone Walker, jammed with Django Reinhardt in liberated Paris, and died forgotten in 1982. It's time to remember his name. #FloydSmith, #BluesHistory, #ElectricGuitar, #BlackHistory, #JazzHistory, #1939, #AndyKirk, #TBoneWalker, #ChuckBe

“Jesus is Precious to Me” Written by Bennie Triplett Bishop Carroll Smith will be missed from my life. When I was notified of his passing last evening, my mind went to this beautiful song written by Bennie Triplett. My tribute to my friend and brother will be shared later today, but for now, this song reminds me of why all of us have hope in Jesus. | Tim Hill
