Timeline
John Clyde Copeland (March 27, 1937 – July 3, 1997) was an American Texas blues guitarist and singer.
Influenced by T-Bone Walker, he formed the Dukes of Rhythm in Houston, Texas, and made his recording debut in 1956, signing with Duke Records the following year.
Although his early records met with little commercial success, he became a popular touring act over the next two decades.
His early recording career embraced blues, soul and rock and roll.
He recorded singles for Mercury, Golden Eagle and All Boy, amongst others.
His first single was "Rock 'n' Roll Lily", and he later cut successes such as "Down on Bending Knees" and "Please Let Me Know".
For the most part, his singles featured Copeland as a vocalist more than a guitar player.
Driven by disco to rethink his future, he moved to New York City in 1976, and played extensively in Eastern cities.
In New York he met a young record producer named Dan Doyle who was instrumental in getting Copeland signed with Rounder Records.
Doyle produced Copeland's initial Rounder releases including Copeland Special for which he won a W. C. Handy Award in 1981, and Bringin' It All Back Home (1985).
In 1983, he was named Blues Entertainer of the Year by the Blues Foundation.
Touring widely, Copeland appeared at the 1983 Long Beach Blues Festival and the 1988 San Francisco Blues Festival.
Copeland also played at the 1985 Montreux Jazz Festival, as a guest with Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band Double Trouble.
Vaughan and Copeland performed the Bob Geddins song "Tin Pan Alley" together on Vaughan's compilation album Blues at Sunrise.
He also played on the first edition of BRBF (Blues Peer Festival) later that year.
His later years were dogged by ill health due to a congenital heart defect.
He died, aged 60, in Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, in New York City, from complications of heart surgery for a heart transplanted six months earlier.
Copeland was a resident of Teaneck, New Jersey.
He was also survived by his wife, son and two daughters.
Copeland also recorded with Albert Collins and Robert Cray, winning a Grammy in 1987 for Best Traditional Blues Album, for the album Showdown!.
