Willie Johnson


 

Willie Johnson (19131980) was a guitarist born in Senatobia, MS, USA. He should not be confused with Blind Willie Johnson. Johnson was the guitarist in the first band led by Howlin' Wolf. When Wolf moved to Chicago, he could not convince Johnson to go with him. Johnson stayed on in Memphis. He was a member of the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet until 1948, when he joined the Jubilaires.
