Professor Longhair
Dubbed Professor Longhair due to his luxuriant locks as a young piano player in
New Orleans in the 1940s, Henry Roeland 'Roy' Byrd made records in the '50s but
abandoned music in the following decade only to be hailed as a revelation in a
'70s comeback. He is now revered as a key figure in Deep South blues and the
development of rock & roll. His definitive album, 'House Party New Orleans
Style' won him a posthumous Grammy Award for best traditional blues recording in
1987 and he has been inducted into both the Blues Hall of Fame and the Rock &
Roll Hall of Fame.
