King, Gatemouth Brown, Albert King, and Albert Collins, and rock guitarists such as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, but by such jazz greats as Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Young, and many others with whom he recorded. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eStormy Monday\u003c\/i\u003e is the first biography of T-Bone Walker to be published.
