| | Hooker was contracted to Art Rupe's Specialty Records in early 1954 (only one single was issued), but the Modern recordings continued for a while later, and the last Modern recordings were made early 1955 (or possibly late 1954). | | | Hooker´s debut record was cut at United Sound Studios for Bernie Besman (born 1912 - dies January 10, 2003) - with Joe Siracuse, engineer, in September 1948. | | | From 1965 Hooker regularly recorded in New York, due to his new-signed contract with ABC Records after Vee-Jay´s bankruptcy (the first couple of albums produced by Bob Thiele). |

| | Hooker took the music in an entirely different method, by returning to the modal base of the music. | | | Hooker's music falls into the generation of the R & B bluesmen of the late 1940s who brought the stream of music from the Delta--Johnny Lee being from Clarksdale--to the North, Muddy Waters to Chicago, Johnny Lee to Detroit. | | | This is a solid collection of songs by John Lee Hooker, spanning most of his long career. |

| | Hooker recorded prolifically for numerous labels, under numerous different names. | | | Hooker continued to perform and record through the Seventies and Eighties, though 1989 marked a turning point. | | | Though the rise of rock and roll created a drought for his hits, the genre was full of young upstarts who cited Hooker as an influence, including the Animals who covered the Hook's "Boom Boom." In 1970, Canned Heat took their homage a step further, recording an entire album, Hooker 'n' Heat, with the bluesman. |

| | One of Hooker's early musical highlights was an engagement at Memphis's New Daisy Theater with young Robert Nighthawk. | | | Bessman, however, leased Hooker's masters to a variety of labels under names such as John Lee Booker, Birmingham Sam, Delta John, and others, to avoid contractual conflict. | | | The elements of Hooker's style are revealed in "Boogie Chillen." Deep, menacing vocals are alternately sung and spoken over droning, one-chord guitar figures. |
