6 comments so far (post your own)It could be said that every jazz guitarist that emerged from 1940-1965 sounded like Charlie Christian. He was the one who elevated the electric guitar as a main instrument along with the saxophone and the trumpet in jazz and pop. Posted by Andrew on Saturday, 05/11/2013 @ 19:47pm |

They should probably fix that. Posted by FRL on Wednesday, 11/13/2013 @ 23:21pm |
They still have him listed as a performer, and now Wikipedia has it updated with him as a performer. That can't be right, can it? Posted by Travis on Monday, 10/19/2015 @ 21:46pm |
The Rock Hall and Wikipedia are both wrong on this one. Charlie Christian was inducted as an Early Influence. Posted by FRL on Tuesday, 10/20/2015 @ 08:55am |
