I wrote on November 30, 2013: In Memory of Walter Brown (Brownie) McGhee (November 30, 1915 – February 16, 1996). He was a Piedmont blues singer and guitarist, best known for his collaborations with the harmonica player Sonny Terry. During the blues revival of the 1960s, Terry and McGhee were very popular on the concert and music festival circuits, occasionally adding new material but usually remaining faithful to their roots and their audience. With Sonny Terry, he appeared in the 1979 Steve Martin comedy The Jerk. In 1987, McGhee gave a small but memorable performance as ill-fated blues singer Toots Sweet in the supernatural thriller movie, Angel Heart. He appeared in a 1988 episode of Family Ties titled The Blues Brother in which he played fictional blues musician Eddie Dupre, as well as a 1989 episode of Matlock entitled The Blues Singer.
