RIP Lonnie Mack.

Influenced many guitars including SRV, Keith Richards and Joe Bonamassa. Popularized the Flying V and one of his instrumental hits, "Wham", supposedly started people calling the trem bar a "Whammy bar". Stevie covered the song on his album, The Sky Is Crying.

Here is Lonnie and Stevie . . .

And Elmore James wrote and recorded it in 1959.
