Lonnie Brooks (born Lee Baker Jr., December 18, 1933 – April 1, 2017) was an American blues singer and guitarist. The musicologist Robert Palmer , writing in Rolling Stone , stated, "His music is witty, soulful and ferociously energetic, brimming with novel harmonic turnarounds, committed vocals and simply astonishing guitar work."
En 1960, se trasladó a Chicago, Illinois, donde adoptó el nombre artístico de Lonnie Brooks (Luther Johnson ya estaba usando el nombre de Guitar Junior). [4] Brooks encontró trabajo en los clubes del Lado Oeste de Chicago, en las cercanías de Gary y en East Chicago , Indiana, y de vez en cuando en la área de entretenimiento de Rush Street en el Lado Norte de Chicago.

--CHICAGO TRIBUNE. "Lonnie Brooks naturally adds an R&B touch to his hard-edged urban blues. Brooks' shouting, growling, and playing drives well-placed guitar licks over a tight, no-nonsense rhythm section. Brooks expands on traditional blues forms by adding pop, rock, and funk hooks to keep things interesting.
