Chanteur et guitariste, adepte du bottleneck, Walter \u00ab Furry \u00bb Lewis est n\u00e9 \u00e0 Greenwood en 1893 (ou en 1899) au c\u0153ur du Delta. Ayant d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 \u00e0 Memphis en 1907, il se produisit avec WC Handy, Bessie Smith ou Memphis Minnie dans les ann\u00e9es 1910 – 1920. Ayant perdu une jambe dans un accident de train, lass\u00e9 des innombrables et improbables tourn\u00e9es, il devint balayeur de rue tout en continuant \u00e0 jouer dans les bars de Beale Street. A la faveur du blues revival des ann\u00e9es soixante, il fit partie de la Memphis Blues Caravan avec Bukka White. A son corps d\u00e9fendant, il inspira \u00e0 Joni Mitchell qui le rencontra \u00e0 Memphis en 1975, la chanson \u00ab\u00a0Furry Sings the Blues\u00a0\u00bb (avec Neil Young \u00e0 l’harmonica !) et fit m\u00eame une premi\u00e8re partie pour les Rolling Stones lors de leur passage \u00e0 Memphis en 1976 avant de s’\u00e9teindre en 1981.<\/p>\n

L’inauguration du Marker au coin de Lamar Street et Carolltown Avenue dans l’une des localit\u00e9s mythiques du Delta, sera suivie d’une r\u00e9ception au Crystal Grill (ses tartes sont parmi les meilleures des Etats-Unis), le tout \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 de la pittoresque gare Amtrak o\u00f9 s’arr\u00eate le \u00ab City of New
\nOrleans \u00bb \u2026<\/p>\n
