David 'Honeyboy' Edwards, believed to have been the oldest surviving member of the first generation of Delta blues singers, died last Monday at his home in Chicago. He was 96.
His career spanned nearly the entire recorded history of the blues, from its early years in the Mississippi Delta to its migration to the nightclubs of Chicago and its emergence as an international phenomenon.The Presurfer
