T-Bone Walker records 'Call It Stormy Monday'
T-Bone Walker recorded 'Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just as Bad)' on September 13, 1947, in Hollywood, releasing it on Black & White Records. The record became a chart hit in 1948 and is considered one of the most influential blues recordings ever made. Walker's jazzy electric guitar work inspired B.B. King to take up the instrument and helped define urban electric blues.
