Actually, he is the most well known pre-WW II bluesman there is. His music has been covered by Clapton, Peter Green, The Rolling Stones, Foghat, just to name a few of the rock acts that have covered him. "Sweet Home Chicago" has been covered by half(if not more) of the blues artists on the planet. I believe "Complete Recordings" was the first blues recording to sell over a million copies. Next to Muddy Waters and possibly Howlin Wolf, RJ is the closest thing the blues has to a "rock star".
