Died
26 February 1977 (aged 67)
Booker T. Washington White (November 12, 1906 – February 26, 1977) was a delta blues guitarist and singer. "Bukka" was not a nickname, but a phonetic misspelling of White's given name Booker, by his second record label (Vocalion). White himself disliked the spelling "Bukka" and preferred to be called "Booker". Bukka White recorded some 78s in the 1930s before spending a number of years in prison, apparently for shooting a man.
