Bob Corritore Photos

The Chicago Blues scene of this period was very vibrant and active and at the same time it had not yet come into the mainstream. Many of the great artists who made this music legendary during the 1950s were still active and in great form and some newer artists were coming into their own and became stars in their own right. The old school of playing blues was still king but it had developed into a music reflective of both the past and the present. It was during this time period that Bob Corritore was deeply involved in the City's blues scene. Here are some memorable photos from these good old days.
