In 1986, blues singer and harmonica player Sonny Terry, who became famous with his guitar-playing partner, Brownie McGhee, died at 75 after a lengthy illness. Terry, whose real name was Sanders Terrell, was blinded in both eyes in separate accidents by the time he was 16. Terry worked with the legendary guitarist Blind Boy Fuller before teaming up with Brownie McGhee in 1941. The partnership lasted for 44 years, despite frequent feuds and temporary splits. Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee have been credited with bringing the blues to the homes of millions of middle-class whites.
