Bruce Iglaueris the American founder and head of the independent blues record label Alligator Records in Chicago... (wikipedia)
He had a smile and a good word for everybody.
His truly beautiful voice and melodic, understated guitar style contrasted dramatically with the more rough and raucous blues and blues-rock that came before him.
He wasn't about technique, he was about feeling.
He just loved being on the bandstand. He'd kick the piano bench over and drop to his knees and play ... he was a one-man blues party.
Robert spoke to a whole audience who might never have thought of themselves as blues fans.
