Little Milton (Milton Campbell) - Dead at 70
As we approach the 15th Anniversary of the death of Stevie Ray Vaughan, we mark the passing of a blues legend who never really got the wide-spread respect and attention that he deserved. Milton Campbell (aka Little Milton) died this past week at the age of 70 following a stroke. To quote from Art Neville’s tribute to Stevie Ray, "Heaven done called another blues stringer back home."

My thanks to Joseph Steinberg for drawing my attention not only to the NPR page, but to the fact that Little Milton had passed on.
