The verdict
Born blind in Toronto, this blues guitar virtuoso became a Canadian music legend who never left. Best known for that smoky guitar work in Road House, he spent his whole life in Toronto's music scene, from busking on Yonge Street to running his own jazz club. Canada claims him proudly, eh.
