Darn, you already named my two favorites.

Pinetop Perkins
Pete Johnson
Frank "Sweet" Williams
Sunnyland Slim
Professor Longhair

choco bell from eric clapton's band. pretty smart for a 6th grader, huh?

I gotta give it up to Pine Top Smith, Cecil Gant, Ray Charles, Fats Domino, and Pinetop Perkins.

Maybe there are better, but I like these cats!

Here's 5 who are some of the best (currently performing).

Honey Piazza
Pine-top Perkins
Fred Kaplan
Gene Taylor
Dr. John
Barrel house Chuck
