Gospel/blues singer and musician Blind Willie Johnson was born--as far as is known, since not much information is available about his early life--in 1902 in Marlin, TX. Supposedly, he was blinded when he was about three years old when his stepmother threw lye at his father during an argument, missed and it hit Willie in the face. He earned a living later on by singing on street corners. In 1927 he became a Baptist preacher, married and moved to Dallas, TX, where he eventually recorded a gospel album for Columbia Records. Many of the cuts on that album later became classics in the gospel genre. He stopped recording in 1930, but continued to perform up until the 1940s.
In 1947 he died in Beaumont, TX. Reportedly, the house he was living in burned down, and after spending the night sleeping in its remains, he caught pneumonia and died soon afterwards.- C.H. Middleton was born on 22 February 1886 in Northamptonshire, England, UK. He was married to Rosa Annie Jenkins. He died on 18 September 1945 in Surbiton, Surrey, England, UK.
