Magic Sam was a Chicago bluesman born on February 14, 1937 in Grenada, Mississippi. He gained recognition for his distinctive tremolo guitar playing and released his first record, "All Your Love," on the Cobra label in 1957. His music captivated audiences with its soulful sound and heartfelt lyrics.
Throughout his career, Magic Sam drew inspiration from various artists such as Memphis Slim, Otis Rush, Jimmy Rogers, and Sonny Boy Williamson II. His unique style blended elements of traditional blues with modern influences to create a sound that was truly his own.
Tragically, Magic Sam's life was cut short when he passed away on December 1, 1969 in Chicago. However, his legacy lives on through his timeless music and the influence he had on future generations of musicians.

Recorded on October 23 and November 6, 1968 Black Magic was released only days before Magic Sam's untimely passing on December 1, 1969. He was only 32! The album went on to win a W.C. Handy Award in the classic blues album category.
