Luther Allison

Luther Allison lived life to the fullest. Although his life was short, the joy he gave to the world was more than most are able to give in many more years. Both on and off the bandstand, he spread love to everyone he touched. He was a man who brought people together. He saw only people, never white or black, female or male, rich or poor. To those of us who hurt, and those of us who felt alone, he offered his voice, his fingers, his sweat, his body, and his soul to each who heard. He made us smile; he made us dance; he brought us together; he made us care about each other. He was a true soul fixin' man.

Luther's fondest wish was for those who loved him to love one another and make peace in the world.
