American blues singer and guitarist, Fenton Robinson was born on September 23, 1935 in Minter City, near Greenwood, Mississippi. He passed away on November 25, 1997 in Rockford, Illinois.
Robinson's musical journey began when he first recorded for Meteor in Memphis, Tennessee in 1957. He then went on to record for Duke in Houston, Texas from 1958-1959 before eventually settling down in Chicago during the early 1960s.
In addition to his own successful records, Robinson collaborated with renowned artists such as Rosco Gordon, Junior Wells, Sonny Boy Williamson, Otis Rush and many others throughout his career.

Back in 1971, a 23-year-old blues fan used his meagre savings to record and produce his favourite band. Following his heart, he quit his day job with Delmark Records and began promoting *Alligator* and his new record company full time.

Over 30 years later, that company, Alligator Records, is home to some of the world’s premier blues and roots rock talent and is regarded by fans and the media alike as the top contemporary blues record label in the world.

The first release from Alligator Records was *The Siegel-Schwall Band* (1971).
