Tribute to the 'Butter' Born on December 17, 1942 in Chicago, "Paul Butterfield was the first white harmonica player to develop a style original and powerful enough to place him in the pantheon of true blues greats. It's impossible to overestimate the importance of the doors Butterfield opened. On May 4, 1987, Butterfield died of a drug overdose; he was not quite 45 years old." ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide http://www.bluesaccess.com/No_31/butter.html
