Story By Roger Stolle
Sad news in the blues world today. Mr. Robert
"Wolfman" Belfour — RIP. Arguably the deepest of the surviving, old-school,
Mississippi bluesmen was found deceased at his home in Memphis this morning by
relatives. He had been suffering from various health issues (mainly diabetes and
mobility related) for over a year but had recently been doing better. He had not
performed since last June but was slated to play at Juke Joint Festival in
April.
Mr. Belfour's family is in desperate need of money
for funeral services. The Memphis Blues Society is trying to raise money to help
the family with funeral costs. Those wishing to donate can do so through The
Memphis Blues Society Benefit link: Click here. For now… if you knew the blues
legend, tell your friends a story about him today… if you didn't know him, then
stop what you're doing and spend a little time on the web exploring his life and
music.
