Thanks for writing this story. It made me realise how much we owe to the early bluesmen, but also how easy it is to exploit their fantastic legacy without giving them the credit they deserve. Dick Waterman deserves a medal for recognising this and fighting for justice on behalf of Arthur Crudup. It's just a shame that this came too late for Mr Crudup himself.
