「パッチーズ」や「ストローキン」などのヒット曲で知られる、盲目のサザン・ソウルおよびブルースミュージシャンであるクラレンス・カーター氏が90歳で死去した。同氏は水曜日に老衰のため亡くなった。
カーター氏は1936年1月14日にアラバマ州モンゴメリーで生まれ、幼少期に視力を失った。独学でギターを習得し、アラバマ州立大学で音楽を学んだ後、デュアン・オールマンやウィルソン・ピケットといったアーティストと共にアラバマ州マッスル・ショールズのフェイム・スタジオでレコーディングを行うなど、そのキャリアをスタートさせた。1970年のシングル「パッチーズ」はビルボード・ホット100で4位を記録し、1986年の楽曲「ストローキン」はラジオでの放送回数が限られていたにもかかわらずナイトクラブの定番曲となり、後に1996年の映画『ナッティ・プロフェッサー クランプ教授の場合』や『キラー・ジョー』などの作品で使用された。
