Mississippi Marvel Passing Confirmed - tribute by Jeff Konkel
Owner/President of Broke and Hungry Records: It is with deep sadness that I report the passing of The Mississippi Marvel, an outstanding blues artist and a true gentleman. He was 81 years old. I was fortunate to work with him over the past several years. In 2008, Broke & Hungry Records released his debut CD, “The World Must Never Know.” Later that year he appeared in our film “M For Mississippi.” His dual (and conflicting) roles as a bluesman and a church deacon led us to use a pseudonym when discussing him in public. Out of respect for his family and his church, we will continue to honor this request. Farewell to a great artist and a gentle soul.
