Perkins is a certified blues piano playing legend. He can safely be grouped with B.B. King, the late Willie Dixon and John Lee Hooker as one of the true pioneers of the Delta-to-Chicago blues form. Perkins was born into a plantation family on July 7, 1913 in Belzoni, Miss., and began to teach himself guitar while still in grade school. He never completed more than a 3rd grade education, he readily admits in interviews.
