Mississippi Marvel Passing Confirmed - tribute by Jeff Konkel

Owner/President of Broke and Hungry Records: It is with deep sadness that I report the passing of The Mississippi Marvel, an outstanding blues artist and a true gentleman. He was 81 years old. I was fortunate to work with him over the past several years. In 2008, Broke & Hungry Records released his debut CD, “The World Must Never Know.” Later that year he appeared in our film “M For Mississippi.” His dual (and conflicting) roles as a bluesman and a church deacon led us to use a pseudonym when discussing him in public. Out of respect for his family and his church, we will continue to honor this request. Farewell to a great artist and a gentle soul.

The Mississippi Marvel - Dead

We have an unconfirmed report that "The Mississippi Marvel" has passed away. I will provide more information as it becomes available.

My regrets to his family and friends.

Here's an unreleased gem from The Mississippi Marvel, an 80-something, blues-playing deacon from the Delta. He has asked us to keep his identity secret due to the objections that his church congregants have regarding blues music. His CD, The World Must Never Know, is available at www.brokeandhungryrecords.com.
