The Riverside Hotel, Clarksdale, MS
As you can see from some of the
blues
legends who have stayed
here,
this is a place of musical history and
medical history,
too!
This is where Bessie Smith died on an
operating table in 1938.
Where Sonny Boy Williamson II, Howlin' Wolf,
Houston Stackhouse, and many other great bluesmen stayed.
Where Ike Turner wrote and rehearsed
the first Rock 'n Roll song: "Rocket 88"!
