He Created The First Electric Blues Guitar Hit—And You've Never Heard His Name In March 1939, Floyd Smith improvised "Floyd's Guitar Blues" with Andy Kirk's orchestra—the first hit record to feature a blues solo on electric guitar. He influenced Chuck Berry and T-Bone Walker, jammed with Django Reinhardt in liberated Paris, and died forgotten in 1982. It's time to remember his name. #FloydSmith, #BluesHistory, #ElectricGuitar, #BlackHistory, #JazzHistory, #1939, #AndyKirk, #TBoneWalker, #ChuckBe
