Young, Joseph
▪ 2000
“Mighty Joe” 
      American singer and guitarist whose performances of his blend of blues and soul were enhanced by his professionalism, enthusiasm, and desire to please his audience; when his virtuoso playing career was sidelined by a loss of sensation in his fingers following surgery to alleviate a pinched nerve, he refused to give up and instead concentrated his efforts on vocals (b. Sept. 23, 1927, Shreveport, La.—d. March 24, 1999, Chicago, Ill.).
