Bill Williams

#1 Bill Williams (Richmond, Virginia, 28 February 1897 - Greenup, Kentucky, 6 October 1973) was a Kentucky based songster. Throughout the Sixties, it seemed there was one 'discovery' or 'rediscovery' of a blues singer after another; a succession of methodical searches, happy accidents and dramatic events which brought not only a number of legendary figures to life, but also revealed that the wealth of talent in the black traditions had been even greater than might have been supposed.
