Willie Dixon Quotes:
Ocupation: Musician
Life: July 1, 1915 - January 29, 1992
Birthday: July 1
Death: January 29
The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. It's better keeping the roots alive, because it means better fruits from now on. The blues are the roots of all American music. As long as American music survives, so will the blues.
