  • Ramblin' Thomas – (1902–1945) Born in Logansport, Louisiana, he was the brother of another blues musician, Jesse Thomas. Thomas is best remembered for his slide guitar playing, and recording several pieces in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Blues scholars seem undecided if Thomas's nickname of Ramblin' was in reference to his style of playing, or itinerant nature.
  • Big Mama Thornton – (December 11, 1926 – July 25, 1984) Born in Montgomery, Alabama, Thornton was the first to perform Hound Dog which Elvis Presley later covered.
