Wikipedia states:



Huddie William Ledbetter (January 20, 1888 – December 6, 1949) was an American folk and blues musician notable for his strong vocals, virtuosity on the twelve-string guitar, and the folk standards he introduced. He is best known as Lead Belly. Though many releases credit him as \"Leadbelly\", he himself wrote it as \"Lead Belly\", which is also the spelling on his tombstone and the spelling used by the Lead Belly Foundation.



Lead Belly usually played a twelve-string guitar, but he also played the piano, mandolin, harmonica, violin, and \"windjammer\" (diatonic accordion). In some of his recordings, he sang while clapping his hands or stomping his foot.



Lead Belly's songs covered a wide range of genres and topics including gospel music; blues about women, liquor, prison life, and racism; and folk songs about cowboys, prison, work, sailors, cattle herding, and dancing. He also wrote songs about people in the news, such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, Jean Harlow, Jack Johnson, the Scottsboro Boys and Howard Hughes. Lead Belly was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2008.
