Look him up on page 125 "Nothing but the Blues" (Lawrence Cohn) two photos of 
the "Reverend Blind Gary Davis" with and without sunglasses.  Was a Baptist 
which allowed him to sing both Blues and Gospel, just couldn't dance.  He was 
popular for such songs as "Twelve Gates to the City" (gospel) and Cocaine 
Blues.
